Mastodon tips (brief)

1. Server choice - tricky
2. Add a pic and bio
3. I prefer 'Advanced web interface'
4. And the 'Light' theme
5. Listen to long-time users
6. Tip your server admins
7. Hashtags pretty important
8. Put Alt text on pics
9. Use Content Warning if in doubt
10. Pin introduction post
11. Do some boosting
12. Follow interesting people
13. Hashtags can be followed too
14. DMs not secure
15. Be respectful
16. Thank you, people who run this

It's odd that in the Mastodon app it's a "reblog" but on the web interface it's a "boost". (I like "boost" much better.)

♥️ Let’s show some gratitude and financial support for our hosts. I happen to be on the mstdn.social instance, so @stux keeps our server going here.

I just joined his Patreon. You can pay monthly, or a year in advance at whatever level you choose. As low as $1.50 per month.

if you have the capacity to help out, find out who is your host and do the same. Look in their “about” near their profile to find out how to help.

This really does feels like post-apocalyptic new world building. Trying to redo your old following/follower base and the little announcements of “so-and-so has made it over here!” feels almost like “oh Susan, you also survived the blast?”
