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!
Hello world.
Here to maintain links with the #disability community if twitter explodes and will rant about politics.
Many posts on #TwitterMigrations say we shouldn't all be on larger servers as it's bad for the ecosystem, but when I browse the server list I don't see anything focused on what I want to talk about (and some specifically exclude disability advocacy 🤢)
It feels like we need a #disabilitycommunity or #NEISvoid instance, but as a relative newcomer I have no idea what's involved in making that happen and no funds to contribute
As #mastodon grew this week I noticed more photos being posted without a description of the photo.
Please include it! Part of the reason I joined is because this placed seemed more accessible.
What I'm trying to say is I want to boost your cat photos, but I can't in good conscience do so unless those photos are accessible.
