#NewToMastodon?

Here's a tip! ⭐ Remember that 'favouriting' a post is only visible to the person whose post it is. There is no algorithm, so favouriting doesn't 'do' anything except indicate a like or support. Which is nice, of course, but.....

...the LOVELIEST thing you can do is #boost a post. That way, you're literally sharing the love! 😍 And everyone's a winner!

For all you #newbies, here's a shouty #wren we met in #Pembrokeshire last June, photographed by my hubster.

@JaneTomlinson Excellent photo 😊

@DiBosco @JaneTomlinson

How do you boost a post? Reblog it? TIA

@mrssummercamp @DiBosco
Yes, it's the little icon of two arrows beneath a post. Second one along. A bit like this: 🔁

Thanks for the follow! I have followed back. X

@JaneTomlinson @DiBosco thank you 😁 I knew how to reblog, just wasn't sure if that's what was meant by boosting 😘
@JaneTomlinson Fantastic capture. Last year was our first year living here. We popped a bird box up and the first thing in it was a Wren. Watched maybe 3 fledge, then come Autumn they were all still going back in it. Little did I know, that Wrens roost in nest boxes sometimes upto a dozen at a time!
@Cambsmothman yes! We put up a string of roosting pouches precisely to provide a safe and cosy place for small birds of a night. Alas we have seen no evidence of anyone using them. 😢 bloody love wrens. They’re so LOUD!
@JaneTomlinson Ah that's a shame. Maybe they'll come sooner or later. Yep, loudest bird in the garden! Apart from the sodding Cockerel across the road!
@JaneTomlinson What a fabulous photo!
@LizZorab thanks Liz! I tried to reply yesterday but couldn’t connect.
