It is deeply funny to me that Mastodon is a place where AI bros cry because they can't get any traction, but a single picture of moss can give anyone, no matter their other content or follower count, positive feedback for the rest of time.
Try it. Post a picture of moss. See what happens.
pro-AI people, stay out of my mentions <3 I don't like you, I don't respect you, and if you try to engage me in a debate, I *will* drag you
@paparatti it's the moss echo chamber!! run for your lives!!1!
@paparatti Next time I touch grass - or in this case, moss - I might try it 

@paparatti I've actually been sitting on some (previously unpublished) macro photographs of moss, so lets give this a shot

@hungryjoe hashtag it! It needs the #mosstodon final touch!
@paparatti That wasn't part of your original pitch :P
@hungryjoe that's the part you're supposed to work out by yourself! Everything gets a hashtag, for your own sanity and the good of someone else's organic search.
@paparatti @hungryjoe To be fair, if it's a good moss pic, someone will comment that it needs the mosstodon hashtag to let all the other mosspeople check it out. (At least that's what I hope.)
@paparatti I didn't doubt you, but even so, I'm amazed by the magnitude of the effect

@paparatti
How about a digital block of moss. It is moss, yet it is artificial! What will happen? What would John Mastodon do?

@paparatti I saw some moss on the dog walk yesterday, and was thinking, hm, I should take a picture of the moss. it's moss season. I neglected to take that photo but I will next time!
@jef @paparatti LichenSubscribe is peak hashtagging.
@jef @paparatti Thanks! This reminded me of the round patch of orange lichen at the bottom of a wall I had to photograph last week during a trip to Belgium. And the moss strip just over the waterline in the canals of Brugge! Is there some subtle fedi influence going on? I can not remember taking any #lichensubscribe or #Mosstodon pictures before.

@paparatti

Can’t get engagement on your posts bro? Idk I don’t have that problem, must be a you thing

(Posts desperate pleas for help about my garden)

@paparatti a cat on moss would cause riots.
@Pedi @paparatti damn, I came here to make that joke but you beat me to it 😅
@paparatti You know you could just ask if you were in need of new moss pictures 😁

@paparatti Due to a conversation I had the other day, I feel compelled to share a random photo (not mine) of Moss, Norway
