Dave MarkA Mastodon reminder for new folks:
- Favoriting (click the star) tells the poster you like the post.
- Boosting (click the RT/cycle icon) shares the post, helps spread the word.
Cheers! š
ItsWilder@davemark I wish they would call it āLikesā then and not āFavoritesā. Itās confusing and misleading to users.
Neal Onions@davemark Always seems sad that more is not made of favoriting/boosting. I would like favoriting to be amplified with some kind of global ātrending/whatās likedā list on a fediverse level. I use Mastodon and previously Twitter as a news aggregator, I need a route to prevent me creating my own echo chamber here.
@ngo I struggle with this same issue. Part of this is that there is no global data set. Each server keeps its own numbers, no global sharing/reporting. Very different than, say, Twitter.
/G\echlin63š»šŗāøļøšļøšæ@davemark Dave, why the hell donāt more people get on here? With clients like Ivory, it feels like Twitter with Tweetbot.
@Gechlin63 I believe we need simpler onboarding. As is, the signup is confusing at best. And there are features that Twitter has that Mastodon doesnāt, or canāt offer.
