Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration? Keep in mind, things aren't exactly the same as on #Twitter!

1. Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't help posts, they just let the Mastodon member who posted know you thought it was cool!

2. Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds!

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you boost 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

#mastodon #MastodonTips

This happened just 6 hours ago. For the very first time in the history of #Mastodon 600 000 new users/week decided to register for a social network platform that's not driven by algorithms.

And I think that's beautiful! 🙏
