Mastodawn

Joshua Zimmerman Feb 14, 2023

One thing I've struggled with on Mastodon is finding people and communities who post things that I'm interested in that are outside of who I currently follow.

Can anyone hear point me at folks who talk about chronic pain, disability and autoimmune issues? If not, boost for reach?

Edit: I specifically want people and not hashtags. I know how hashtags work. I don't want to use them.

Edit 2: I've got a good number of folks to follow. Muting this post now!

All the people advocating for me to just use hashtags long after I modified to say that's not what I'm asking for are making a great argument for why I don't want to follow hashtags.

@TheJewberwocky Another approach that is widely recommended is to add your interests to your profile.

It appears you haven't done this either. It's not unreasonable to ask - if you want help, but you're unwilling to try to suggestions that might help, do you really want help?

And, if you don't want to try anything, at least quit wasting people's time who tried, in good faith, to help you.
