Now that I have learnt that boosting from other servers are not show in the local timeline, and proper quotation is also disabled indulge me to enhance discoverability by recommending locals some artist's accounts to follow from other servers in no particular order or style:

@Ailantd Cheers fella. Lovely company to be in. Despite the clunkiness and learning curve, I am enjoying Mastodon. A different experience to Twitter, but that's no bad thing.

@thisnorthernboy

Indeed.

But apparently the boosting help to discoverability is very limited, sadly.
Which is sad.
I have been boosting my posts from my social account to try to bypass the .art mute, just to learn that it has been for nothing XD

@Ailantd Yeah that's far from ideal. I'll admit it's not something I've looked in to much. Sticking with this server and the one account. It's about as much as I can cope with!
@thisnorthernboy a little patience and faith in word of mouth.
@poetaster That's definitely how I'm approaching it. And to be fair, I think engagement has been pretty good so far.
@thisnorthernboy you guys are so talented you'll wind up on instances dedicated to @knitting.place ;-)
