How do people here ensure they don't miss posts from people they follow who are on different timezones? I'm finding I need to check on the profiles of people I follow as I don't see a lot of stuff!

@HannahHowe It involves putting a specific tiny mastodon link on a website of yours
But I don't remember where I found the code
Here is what it looks like at top left of my site

Question regarding -

How does one improve the "reach" of a single user instance? The basic issue is when clicking on a toot from my other persona I regularly do not see many other replies unless I go to the original.

Here on that's less of a problem. Obviously if I were more interesting and provoked greater engagement this would probably improve on its own. But let's just make the assumption that I'm going to continue to post garbage...

Semi-delicate : What's the etiquette on boosting your own toots? Is this considered bad form here or just a way to push your old toots back up again to the top of the feed?๐Ÿคฃ After all, "pin on profile" is also an option.

: I've noticed that when I DM people here, sometimes the system posts these messages as if they're posts and not DMs, which is a bit unsettling for obvious reasons. I've deleted the unintentional toots & retried DM'ing them a few times but it's still posting my DMs as toots instead of DMs. What do I need to do differently, if anything, to fix this? I thought all DMs would be listed in the "DM" section? Pls enlighten me, sage tooters. TY!

Is it possible to search your favorites in Mastodon? I'm looking for something and all I have are keywords

If I want to change instances, can someone tell me if I need to leave, as in account leave, the instance I am on or just redirect my old instance to the new one I join. I am very confused (I'd be found on both instances, old and new). Can I have the history of my old instance profile along with the new one under the same profile name and the same @name?

Added aliases to the webfinger endpoint on my domain. Should searching for @mehulkar@mehulkar.com now return @mehulkar (i.e. this account)? (because it doesn't, tried from fosstodon.org also to see if I could avoid a caching response)

i.e. putting the content in the warning field, and clutter beneath the cut. Does it interfere with in any way?

The tag is a good idea. I wish people who knew things about Mastodon actually checked it.

Genuine question about Mastodon: have you seen any brands join it? I'm curious about what a decentralized platform with organic reach means for brands.

I haven't seen any commercial entities on Mastodon yet and I'm curious if the question even makes sense. I imagine that if a big name considers joining, they'd probably host their own instance.

What do you know?

Why do people use instead of or in addition to ? I've seen this on other platforms as well, and I've never understood the point. Here's some art so I'm not tagging this falsely:

When I follow someone on Mastodon, I add them to one of my Lists depending on what they toot about such as Politics, Writers, TV, etc. But some I can't add them to a List. I can't figure out why.

So how come some follow requests go straight thru and others need approval?

Mastodon question: is it possible to follow a hashtag only in one instance? I want to follow but only in sfba.social. Thanks!

Question: when I look up particular celebrities, this is what comes up (pic below). Are these spots being held for them? Will they be on Mastodon soon? Whatโ€™s the deal?

Mastodon question 2: it looks like the newest message on my Mastodon Home page is "2 hours" old. Is this due to the sudden spike in usage and expected to drop to something quicker once demand returns to normal?
