I feel like #medievalmastodon needs more #manuscripts pictures like on #medievaltwitter. Or maybe I'm just not seeing them, since we don't seem to have settled on a #medieval hashtag yet? Something narrower than #histodons.
Anyway, thought this S was pretty cute.

@lizfischer I agree, let’s make it happen! I’m new here but a shared # would be a start. I’ve used #CharmingOldBooks but it’s too long. #ManuscriptPics perhaps?

@lizfischer Perhaps @SJLahey would like to join the effort of a joint hashtag for mss pics? Great thing here is that we can still add them to earlier posts! Sorry, toots.

@erik_kwakkel @lizfischer I've been using #Manuscripts and #MedievalManuscripts (we have 500 characters here!)
Re: a hashtag, we have a directory you may wish to join, @lizfischer
Its hashtag is #Medievodons. The list is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10OdDb5R0u-IQ331Xpom6X6fsArdJvXFt1X5K2dLudhU/edit?usp=sharing
You can add yourself here: https://forms.gle/DJXy26n49rEHg7V68
& there is a group: @medievodons (a group is a handle/account which gathers & boosts all posts mentioning it. (NB: You must mention the group. It won’t grab posts with just the hashtag.)

@erik_kwakkel @lizfischer All that said, I also see (and have used) #Medieval and #MedievalHistory and #MedievalStudies on here. Given the much more generous character limit, we have space to go wild with hashtags. 🥳

@erik_kwakkel @lizfischer Oh! I almost forgot: There is also a #BookHistodons directory for Book Historians and Manuscript Studies scholars:

@SJLahey @lizfischer would it be useful if folks could get to a whole bunch of pics just with 1 hashtag? With #medieval there will be a lot of noise as well

@erik_kwakkel @lizfischer This is why I tag my manuscript image posts with #MedievalManuscripts (and scads of other hashtags, but I always include that one).
