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 That’s very much how the different servers work - not single-topic discussion so much as loose communities with a shared vibe. And it’s easy to create accounts on multiple servers if you want to get a sense of the options - you don’t have to migrate your existing account
