It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.

hi wonderful people

i know a lot of folks are detoxifying and the birdsite incentives sometimes made it seem like only posting your own stuff was wise. Maybe never boosting others over there made sense.

It's different here. Here, #PeopleAreTheAlgorithm

Which means, if you interact with me, and I look at your profile and it's full of yourself. Well...kinda speaks for itself.

Boosting others here helps re-knitting lost and creating new networks of care. Be generous and share your discoveries.

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

Announcement!!! (Timeline pushed up because of Twitter going down...)

I am relaunching my book blog Bogi Reads the World.

https://www.bogireadstheworld.com/

Reviews of fiction, poetry, individual stories / poems, recommendations, bibliographies, resource lists and more. Since 2010 - and now active again!

As always, focus on work by marginalized authors, especially SFF but any topic really :) Say hi!

A quick explainer about the Mastodon like (called "favourite" - it's the star). It is a personal message to the writer of the post that you liked it, and it doesn't show on anyone's time line.

If you want to spread the post, that's the boost button. The equivalent of a Twitter like is to do both a favourite and a boost.

If you think this post is useful to you click "favourite". If you think it would be useful for others too, click "boost" as well.

Edited for accuracy.

Like so many people on here, I'm an unpaid volunteer.
