Everyone knows I rarely post, right? So why did I start typing yesterday?

To find more cool people to follow! Who I can then boost so you can find them too. Seriously.

Most of my new followers lately are either bots or "junk" accounts. Following those back? Not a good idea.

But real people, just like you, faved that post of mine! Which allowed me to find at least 100 new friends, that I wasn't following already.

I still need to follow more, but it's a start.

Thank you all. You're awesome! πŸ’–

@lisamelton I so enjoy your booooostings ✨ πŸ™
@dominika Thank you so much! πŸ₯°
@dominika @lisamelton
I agree with Dominika! As a newcomer, these boosts are exactly what I need to find cool people to follow. Thanks for the warm atmosphere here, Lisa! πŸ‘‹

@rudy_paul200 You are very welcome! πŸ’–

@dominika

@lisamelton @dominika You're so kind! I'm joining in from Dallas, Texas, and I'm really looking for a fresh start away from the usual big social apps. It’s my first day here how long have you been part of the Fediverse? I'd love any tips on cool people to follow!
@lisamelton you're always a breath of fresh air
@autobrain Awwww, you're very sweet. 😊
@lisamelton Back at you β€” everything is awesome, lemon gelatin, libraries dwelt in, and of course, Lisa Melton!

@lisamelton

Sorry, can't help, we're already mutuals πŸ˜†

@cavyherd LOL! Well, you're in good company at least. πŸ˜‚
@lisamelton hooray!πŸ’œ
@amorablackrose D'oh! I wasn't following you. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ Fixed that!
@lisamelton I find so many amazing people here because of boosts and replies! Gonna go poke about now
@WeirdWriter That is a *great* idea!
@lisamelton Any time! Since you are new, heh, but basically, I dip in and out. I have Buffer posts set to post my writings and podcasts and such, but I do check my mentions daily! On here anyway! But I also wanted to say sorry about all the bots following you!

@lisamelton

I followed because of this post. Thanks!

@NotKnown Excellent! And thank you. πŸ’–

@lisamelton

i've really been enjoying the acerbic comments from:

https://masto.ai/@msbw

they don't reply directly to the orginal poster, so you kind of have to guess which toot in your timeline might be the source of their vitriol. but, even without context, they make superb nonsequitors.

@saltywizard Oh yeah, I've been following her stream-of-consciousness feed for years. πŸ˜‚ Great recommendation!

@lisamelton

If we weren't already mutuals, I'd follow you again.

@lisamelton Lisa made my arrival here so much richer from her recommendations. (Glad to see you posting again, Lisa!)
@michaelgemar I'm glad I could be of some help. That's why I'm here. And thank you so much for following! πŸ˜ŠπŸ’–
@lisamelton New follower here and definitely not a bot! I don't really post much that's boost-worthy though.
@kaidenshi Still followed you! And thanks for following me. πŸ₯°

@lisamelton

The instance you are on has issues.

@SpaceLifeForm Meaning...?

@lisamelton

The instance is overloaded. The moderators can not manage the load of new bot accounts.

@lisamelton followed a bunch of accounts because of your boostings
@lisamelton Yay, happy that you found some new people to follow! ❀️
@lisamelton *waves* πŸ‘‹ no bot here!
@neon_parity Hello, new friend! πŸ‘‹

@lisamelton

Yep, if someone follows you, don't follow them back for yhe sake of it or to be nice.

Have a look and only follow them back only if you find what they have posted previously interesting. Or maybe a newish account that sounds interesting and needs a little encouragement.

@lisamelton πŸ‘‹πŸ» here’s a cat
@Katylou And a lovely one! What's their name? 🐱
@lisamelton Welcome aboard! :)
@lisamelton Whenever I am honored enough to get a like or boost from you, I tell my hubby β€œI’ve been Melted” when all the pings start going off on my phone. πŸ˜…
@box464 I love it! 😊πŸ₯°
@lisamelton Enabling Follower Request isn't a bad idea either. This way, you need to check the account in question before allowing them to follow.
@lisamelton Well, you got a new follower here. I didn't see yesterday's post. πŸ˜‚πŸ«‘
@AutumnBaum And I've got a new friend! And sister. 😊
@lisamelton Noted, but you don't need to type, we love Boosting Lisa for her own sake.
@timbray Awwwww. You're very sweet. 😊πŸ₯°πŸ’–
@lisamelton That's great. Lots more people to check out, read and follow is good fun.

@lisamelton

Love β€œseeing” you back, Lisa. ❀️
I have found out some of the active followers i had, are no longer posting. Don’t know if they left. I hope they are well though.
πŸ™πŸΌ Times can be very challenging these days. Hope you find new ppl. πŸ₯°

@RachelA Thank you so much! πŸ₯°
@lisamelton fairly new to the fedisphere! I really love this shared sense of community
