How do you make a thread on Mastodon?

Pretty much the same way as on Twitter, with one difference. You compose the first post, publish it, then reply to it, then reply to it again, and so on. But there's one difference. If the first post is Public, you can make all the others Unlisted. This way, people can follow the thread by clicking on the first post, but their timeline isn't clogged up with all of the other posts.

[A short thread]

#FediTip #help

@garry I can’t find the rest of this thread, so I don’t understand (sorry)
@janinecooijmans @garry Neither can I, at least not on the Mastodon app.

@mverhulst @janinecooijmans @garry

k I checked on the mastodon.social website now

Two observations:

1) The ”short thread" was merely two toots, if I’m not mistaken, which was somewhat confusing.

2) On the web, both show up as “thread” with replies underneath, but in the Mastodon app, the second toot is buried under the replies to the first.

@gyokusai @mverhulst @garry Thank you! I guess I understand now. (digibeet 😆)
