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!
@sarahsea I feel like you're subtweeting me here 😂😂 (although posts on here are called toots... So subtooting me?? 😅)
It gets easier as you follow more people. It can feel very empty at first but search through the people you follow on Twitter to find their accounts on here and you'll feel more at home when you start seeing that the way you post, share, and like things is very familiar.
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.
