Who are the #SEO peeps that are on Mastodon now? Here's who I know of so far. Please reply with more and add to the list. And please forgive me if I left you off this initial list if we are already following each other. I've been on a bit of a following frenzy this past week and can't keep up.

On an algorithmic platform, the more attention a post gets, the more it’s likely to reach other folks. That’s not true here! But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t favorite posts! Here’s a good way to think about it

Favorite - “I liked this post! Thanks for sharing it!” Hit that star to let the creator know you enjoyed the topic, are digging the conversation, or just think they’re neat! This is super low impact and low effort, and has no consequences, but is a nice way to thank the person who wrote the thing!

Boost - “More folks should see this!” Boosting a post puts it onto the Home Timelines of folks who follow you. This is really powerful here because it is the only way to get content seen on instances that don’t already federate with the source. Here on the fediverse, we are the collective curators and surfacers, so use Boosts liberally for things you enjoyed, things that folks need to hear, and to help folks who need visibility and support #fediTips

It's really important for success in the fediverse to NOT look for "engagement". You don't get it. The dopamine isn't going to come from likes, boosts, those little numbers going up at the bottom of your posts.

You either accept that you're offering your thoughts to followers without the condition that they provide you some sort of hit in response, or you put the effort into actual contact/dialogue when it happens.

It's harder in some ways. The "parasocial" gratification is damped down here.
