#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
Mental health issues are raising exponentially with young people.. Mastodon has build-in all kinds of features like blocking, muting filters etc and ‘non-features’ like constantly showing numbers everywhere on timelines, profiles etc.
Please know that #Mastodon is a safe place to talk about mental health. Talking about it can really help, we do not judge we only want to help♥️
If we can contribute even the slightest in battling this issue I say we should! Together!

Maybe @gretathunberg can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's why she's here. So far, outside of verification, she's just cross posted from twitter, something bots already do, and I'm sure she knows that her Twitter has better reach
I think she's joined as a way of endorsing the platform and helping it grow because it's more in line with her ideals, the same reason many of us joined. I never expected to effectively reach people here when I registered, I just wanted to help build something new, and I imagine she's trying to do the same
