Who out there can give good tips as to how to best utilize the features of this universe? It’s strange and unwieldy to me. Thanks to those of you who’ve migrated here to follow me. As I said on Twitter, I’m not ceding that ground (yet) but I wanted to try cultivating a new spot here as well.

Tip 1: Use hashtags. There's no algorithm to suggest followers or shove posts into your feed in the hopes you follow someone.

Tip 2: Boost (re-post) toots liberally. *You* are the algorithm.

Tip 3: Use CW (content warnings / content wrappers) to discuss politics, the meta.

Tip 4: To create "threads", make the first post public and each reply "unlisted" to prevent clogging up your instance's feed.

Tip 5: Provide text descriptions, even just basic ones, when attaching photos or media.

Tip 6: Use the "report" features for moderating trolls so your admins can take action.

@tamitha Does the "report" feature only reports to my instance's mod team or does it reports to other instances too (like the author's or instances that are associated with mine)?

@JulienDelpierre @tamitha It's at least reported to the mods of your instance, and you can also elect to send the report to the mods of the other person's instance.
You can try to report someone (without going to the end of the process of course) to look at these options :)

@slasherfun Yes it's pretty nice. I had the "chance" to try the feature yesterday (see the replies to my introduction message).

@JulienDelpierre This one? https://qoto.org/@JulienDelpierre/109298267233634682 I don't see any reply, so I guess "action has been taken" since?

Hello People! #introduction I am a Post-doc wrapping up its PhD at the Max-Plank Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics. I am currently working on #CellBiology, studying liver architecture establishment during mouse #development. #DevBio I mainly use microscopy and cell culture to understand how cells establish their polarity and contribute to overall tissue organization. I'm interested in #ImageAnalysis and always looking forward to learning more on this topic.

@slasherfun Yes, good then. It was just a random insult, not even funny, you're not missing anything.

@JulienDelpierre What a nice way to be welcomed here 😬
I hope it will remain a safe space for long, even it it requires transferring between instances if moderation on the one picked so far is inefficient...
