A tip someone passed along earlier that is worth repeating. Discoverability on mastodon is improved when you boost posts rather than just favoriting them. Unlike the   bird site, mastodon does not show in my feed the things you favorite. So boost the stuff you like! Tags also help discoverability! #twittermigration #tips
@jeremy_data For those of us new how to boost?
@susanfox clicking the recycle arrows at the bottom of a post will reshare it in your timeline. Like retweet on twitter. Here it’s called a boost. Some other details here https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/network/#actions
