Saying not to bother with the favourite button on mastodon because it doesn't affect any algorithm is like saying not to say thank you to someone because no one else will hear.

Stop thinking in those old social media ways of engagement and visibility and algorithms and reach and audience and start thinking about being social.

And BOOST! It's how you saw this, probably!

A favourite is a nice thanks, a boost lets everyone else discover the great thing you discovered too!

Hmmm twitter wouldn't let me retweet this because

It's freelance job hunting time!

I'm a very experienced audio producer/podcaster / videographer/editor / comms/social video person.

I'm based in Bristol UK (moving to Nottingham next spring hopefully!), fully kitted out with all my own equipment plus a car and clean licence, and very happy to work ad hoc and remotely.

I also play bass / guitar / sing / write songs / arrange songs / remote record/arrange/compose.

Your kind shares of this post are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

FYI: There's an #Indigenous people server now as of last week, indg.club.

Big thanks to @roag505. And, @aerynlynne made new #emojis.

#MASTODONTIPS HUGE THREAD!

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it. 😁👍

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. 👍🏼
