#ProTip: every #Mastodon account auto-generates an RSS feed, so friends & colleagues who refuse to join can still reap the benefits of you sharing natively, here ~ they can subscribe to it from any feed reader and always be up-to-date ~ https://mastodon.social/users/ChrisPirillo.rss is my feed link (there's also a .atom feed for those who care) ~ change the domain & username and you should see yours, instead ~ just like the good ol' days of blogging ~ #SocialMedia #help #fediverse 
If "Home" is completely empty here on Mastodon, start using hashtags. Use 'em in your posts, click 'em in your timelines, follow 'em. That's how people connect (and interconnect between Mastodon instances). There is no global search, intentionally. Don't view the value of this experience through the lens of a previous one. This is not a spoon-fed design. This is not a popularity contest. This is not optimized for time-on-site or in-app. #SocialMedia #Twitter #Help #Mastodon #TwitterMigration

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

My husband wanted to get this puppy for me for Christmas. (He wanted him for his Christmas, lol) Last of an unexpected litter. He's a Shepherd Pit mix. I think he's beautiful. 😀 ❤️
The mobile version is better than the desktop version of Mastodon for me, but I'm mostly on a desktop for work. I hope all the people I follow show up here...I really don't think Insta is for words. #TwitterMigration
@ProfMMurray OMG I'm so glad you are here! I always look forward to your posts.
