✨ Mastodon difference between boost, favorite, bookmark

▶️ Boost: Similar to the sharing and retweet in twitter. You can boost the post and your followers also get notified

▶️ Favorite: The author gets notification that you marked favorite. Your followers will NOT be notified unlike twitter or other social media

▶️ Bookmark: To save a post for later viewing.This is similar to "saving" a post on other social media platforms. NO notification made to anyone.

✨ Mastodon Tips (contd)

To get followers and keep Mastodon as an interesting place:

▶️ Profile description and avatar: put a description (not required to be attractive) about field you interested in. Accounts with non profile pictures give a negative mindset. People might think you are not serious or a bot

▶️ Ubuntu -"i am what i am because of who we all are"

If you want followers, you should be willing to follow others also. Follow people who have the same field or interest as you. Don't be egoistic. In the end, we are here to share knowledge

▶️ Post majority content related to your domain of interest

▶️ Finally above all, a good content is important. Share knowledge that will be useful for others.

▶️ Use common hashtags

▶️ Interact with other uses in comment section. Don't be just a bot 😜

✨ Mastodon tips (contd)

Using markdown text(or HTML) in your Mastodon posts:

▶️ You can go to account settings and look for "show content-type choice when authoring tools"

▶️ Select the option

▶️Now go to the editor and select file symbol next to the globe. Now you can choose the content type. For example, Markdown

Mastodon Tips:

▶️ You can mark spoiler(any other warning label) by clicking "CW" icon in your editor

▶️ Other Mastodon users will see the label. If they want, they can click show more to see the full content

For example, i encourage my solvers to use spoiler in their answers.

Hope this helps someone out there 🙂

Dear , Search does not scan a user’s Bio for keywords or hashtags, correct?

(I think I already know the answer is ‘Yes’ based on my own testing, but I would be nice to hear from the experts. Thanks!)

Is there a on this subject out there somewhere? If so, my searchfu is failing me.

Fun fact: Standard Mastodon Android app does not let you edit or pin your toots. It does not show a pinned toot as well.
In a webclient it's all like it should be.
The app from nerdculture.de is rather a frontend for the web page (I guess so) and gives you the benefits too.

Soooo if I'm understanding this app correctly, I can't see or answer people's toots from other, uh, instances? Def need a . Also looks like people running each instance can read DMs? Which, OK, I mean, as long as it's clear. 🤔
