KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

@jerrylevine how do the different servers work? I want to find people with similar interests but don’t want to be in just one pigeon hole. I know it’s not Twitter, but hoping to see things I’m interested in plus random fun stuff

@erikanolte @jerrylevine Yeah hashtags are king here. But you can follow people from other servers in the one you are, it's a bit annoying, you have to search their profile URL and follow them from the search results. But the functionality exists, so if there is someone on another server you want to follow, you can.

@mdstevens0612 @erikanolte @jerrylevine Yes, you nailed it. This is the biggest hurdle to mingle people easily.
