#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodonโto act as an amplifier. You can, too!โค๏ธ๐
This would be a really really good time to support the admins of the Mastodon server you're on.
Find their support links, chuck them at least the price of a coffee each month.
Putting my money where my mouth is.
