Attention! @katybrand is here.
So here’s my next question. The fabulous Katy Brand is now among us. Do I promote her by using @katybrand ? Is that right?
@EmmaKennedy Hi! I think because Katy is on a different server, you would need to use the full address: either https://mas.to/@katybrand or @katybrand
If you are referencing someone on the same server as you, it looks like you can get away with just the first part: @_crp_ for example.
@EmmaKennedy
So, when I published that it converted them to clickable links, so it might not obvious what I typed to get them.
I used
https:// mas.to / @ katybrand
or
@ katybrand @ mas.to
without the spaces.
Hope that's helpful.
@EmmaKennedy use the two circular arrows below, like a RT

@EmmaKennedy

Yep. That will help folks who see your toot to find @katybrand quickly and easily. As will folks boosting your toots.

Prospective followers may need to @ her name in the search bar though. I did as unlike Twitter, clicking on her name in your toot didn't take me to her TL. xx

@EmmaKennedy followed Katy thanks

It feels a lot faster today - yesterday was painfully slow
