#feditip for newbies, especially the ones who post a lot of politics stuff: use the CW or "Content Warning" feature if you want people to boost your posts.

For example, if you're posting about American politics, you might CW with the subject line "American politics" or "USPol" for short.

Using CWs has been part of the established culture here for years, and people generally don't boost unCW'd politics posts. If you think something's important and want to give it visibility, use a CW.

@ifixcoinops where do I find that feature?
@Shieldmaid8 @ifixcoinops Hi, you’ve probably worked this out in the 3 days since you posted, but just in case. On IOS a shield containing an “!” appears in the line of symbols above the keyboard as I type. Click on this and a text box opens at the very top of the page (I need to scroll down to see it). Use this like a subject header. On Android I believe the symbol is an “!” inside a circle.
@ifixcoinops @david_orr thanks for the tip 👍👍
