Around 80% of long-standing #Mastodon users are currently explaining how to use Mastodon. So I'll join in by saying...

If you like a post then press the boost button. Liking a post is great and shows your appreciation but there's no other system functionality behind it. Boosting on the other hand, shares the post with a wider audience, which is the only way posts really get seen. Oh and use lots of hashtags as that's the best way to find specific content. #MastodonMigration #TwitterMigration

I use the Like-Star only when I really "need" to. 😎
