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
@robtherunt When writing your Toot, there is a āCWā button you can select to add a Content Warning.
When you activate the button, another field appears above the edit field where you can enter some explanatory text that will be visible before the option to view the rest of the Toot.
I donāt know Mastodon well enough yet to know what CWs people use, but Iād expect ones for violence/trauma/suicide etc.
There is a similar āMark image as sensitiveā option when sharing photos.
@straydogstrut hmm! Iām not seeing that. Iām using the mastodon iPad/ iPhone app. Maybe itās not available on that. Iāll check out other apps.
Thanks again for the assistance.
