Mastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:

1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot

@pbinkley boosting (retweeting) generally lost me follows, cause I did it too often. May be different when you already have a lot I guess?

@qkslvrwolf I guess getting to know your little community is always a thing. The advice I'm reading, though, is that boosting and hashtags are the way to make stuff visible, given the lack of algorithmic push and text search
