A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:

1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.

2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.

3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.

Isn't it kinda weird that #Mastodon gets described as 'left-leaning' because we handle more strickt rules and don't tolerate things like bullying.. It could be me but I perceive this as 'normal'.

I mean you don't call people all kinds of names in a conversation on the street or in the store right? Even if you don't agree🤔

Somehow it feels the (online) standards for treating each other have declined so much over the past few years  

Let them talk, we are a loving and happy community!

Ik realiseer me ineens dat er hier op Mastodon maar één manier is om leuke toots een breder publiek te geven: boosten. In tegenstelling tot Twitter is er geen algoritme dat berichten naar voren schuift omdat ze veel likes krijgen, of reacties eronder, of omdat het een beroemd persoon met heel veel volgers is.

Kortom: we moeten het helemaal zelf doen. Dus ram op die boostknop bij alles wat je leuk/mooi/grappig/interessant vindt! 💪
