#Tusky, my #Mastodon #Client, has no easy way to show what Hashtags I'm #Following; I maintain a text file with them, but I got a better idea: posting them!

I'm #NowFollowing:

#MathInduction #MathArt #BeTheAlgorithm #ToolsForMathematicalThought

Post your hashtags, plus #NowFollowing, to share with us all.

Tomorrow, Thursday, 3pm Eastern we will meet to discuss ensuring sufficient statistical and democratic rigor for making content moderation decisions for mass media as people called upon to take their turn inevitably miss it. But first we will have to explain what the heck we're building, so it is a great time to join! https://communitybridge.com/bbb-room/show-and-tell/

#VisionsUnite #BeTheMedia #BeTheAlgorithm

Welcome to all #NewHere ✊🏽

Keep in mind faving doesn't increase a post's reach.

If you see content you like and think others should too, please #boost it, using the circle icon.

There's no #algorithm here like Twitter to amplify, so we must #BeTheAlgorithm 🔥 🚀

#TwitterMigration #Mastotips

@mikeyslezak

Yeah, maybe follow a few more? 😅

This is #Mastodon where we ALL gotta #BeTheAlgorithm 🐘

#Boost often and #FollowBack ♻️

(7/7) Oh yeah, and optionally, you can help me with an experiment.

To help resolve the problem @MartinEscardo pointed out at https://mathstodon.xyz/@MartinEscardo/109552785927789702, I suggest the following:

- To follow this thread, follow the #MathInduction tag (#Induction is a cooking tag)
- When posting in this thread, if you're trying out the experiment, add #MathInduction to your post and make sure the visibility is global (not unlisted). You could include other tags that are relevant to your post too.

#BeTheAlgorithm

#FollowFriday for people missing the algorithm

- @popularposts which boosts popular posts
- @freebirdnetwork which toots a list of popular #hashtag
- @feditips and @FediFollows for some info
- #BeTheAlgorithm for more discussion of how to find good posts

Are you totally #NewHere?

1. Add an avatar and banner

2. #Boost lots of toots (circle icon) to put content on your TL

3. Follow people with content you like, and many will #FollowBack♻️

4. Reply in their threads. Now you're cookin'.

Doing these steps will help create #engagement on #Mastodon

Every toot is equal, which is great. But this also means there's no #algorithm to feed content to new users.

#BeTheAlgorithm

Comment here if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to help. ✊🏽

@SpriteGuard it's definitely even more important on the #Fediverse. It's how you can #BeTheAlgorithm.

It is a bit unintuitive though; it's definitely not how I communicate outside of social media.

New to #Mastodon?

Faving a #toot doesn't put it into anyone's feed, it's just a way of showing the author you approve.

Only #boosting helps a toot reach a wider audience.

#Hashtags help a toot get found in search.

#BoostOften and #BeTheAlgorithm 😅

I review trending hashtags daily over on union.place (and then delicately recapitalize them for accessibility) and it is a lovely way to discover what's bringing people joy on a daily basis.

Just boosted ~5 of my favorite topics trending today! Black joy, fossils, finger posts, and fungi. Fursuit Friday is definitely happening too but it doesn't really need my help raising awareness 😹

#BeTheAlgorithm #MyGiftsToYou

I'm working on my curation of mastodon - remember, here we must #BeTheAlgorithm. The Advanced Web Interface in the browser is pretty intuitive once activated. Took me a little while to work out how to get beyond 3 columns but I'm there now! Here's how I did it. #mastodontips

First of all, I activated the AWI

https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/#HowToActivateTheMastodonAdvancedWebInterface.

Series of screen shots coming so each needs its own toot I think, to follow...

I still have another 2 weeks with my arm in plaster which gives me time this weekend to:

1. Curate my Mastodon experience #BeTheAlgorithm

2. Find new Mastodon friends on this instance and others

3. Find old friends here and encourage more lovely folks to come and join in here from the Other Place

4. Bung some quids to support the upkeep/upgrade of this server

5. Phone my mum 😂

Apologies - too much boosting can be a bit overwhelming, so for my own sanity and productivity I'll have to mute the above post (at least for a while).

Nevertheless, keep boosting/re-tooting/reblogging all those great people around you - especially if they are just starting out!

#BeTheAlgorithm - #BoostAllTheThings !

#BeTheAlgorithm - #BoostAllTheThings !

To add to the above:

Since there is no #algorithm it is really important that you #boost interesting posts by others.

A star (liking) does nothing to help increase a post's visibility beyond the original author's followers.

I know it is strange coming from 🐦, but it really is the only way to increase a post's audience.

So #BoostAllTheThings (if you like them) and you will notice others will do the same to your content. Here we're all in it together!
