All of us have a lot of #Toots that got a lot of #Likes and #Boosts, but , honestly, didn't really deserve them

And we all have a lot of toots we are proud of, but that got zero likes and boosts
Among your orphans, what is your fav ?

You know #boosts?

There used to be a chocolate bar called #Boost

I think they were a bit of horribleness.

#chocolate

Please help me find a #GP or any #doctor willing to prescribe #fentanyl patches (or dose equivalent) within 13 days in #Melbourne #Australia

Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me bc my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 13 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony & no #pain control.

Time running out fast!😫

#Boosts appreciated!

Following the post above about the loss of Dapper Signs' James Cooper, there is a fundraiser now running for his surviving family, namely his wife Katie and daughter Billie.

There are also King Coops prints for sale, which directly contribute to the fundraiser.

#Boost / #Boosts appreciated to support Katie and Billie after the far-too-soon loss of their husband and father.

Thank you.

Have you tried quickemu? https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu

Today I learned that "hide boosts" does not work retroactively. This is seemingly not a #bug - it's a #feature.

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8172

Possibly another uniquely #Fedivere related issue?

Bit confusing/annoying though. Especially as "show boosts" seems to be turned on by default when you follow someone.

#boosts #mastodon #feature

Over there on algorithm-driven social platforms I thought I sucked at #hashtagging because my posts went largely ignored. Mastodon has taught me that I probably suck at creating content.

#SocialMedia #posts #tweets #toots #SocialPlatforms #BuildingAudience #ContentCreation #Hashtag #FF #following #likes #boosts #favs #SelfReflection

Ich meine, #Boosts sind ja toll, aber wenn man nicht liked, dann mag man das Geteilte ja eigentlich gar nicht, oder?

Thank you to all of you who participated in this little poll! As expected (when asking people here in the #fediverse) almost all of you (c.91%) have changed #twitter usage significantly. Interestingly, as you can see from the comments, among those who haven't changed their usage there are people who have never used twitter or have already quit a long time ago.
I am deeply impressed that we have reached c.1300 researchers within (and outside of) my small bubble! Thank you for the #boosts!

I cannot tell you how close I am to unfollowing anyone that #reposts / #boosts ANYTHING about #Twitter / #X. I'm here for quality posts, and no matter how #academic a paper: unless you're the original #poster , you're just #bandwagoning.

Bonjour ! Je suis désolé si cette question est un peu tardive, mais c'est en boostant un message que cette question m'est survenue : par défaut, quelle est votre posture concernant les #boosts d'autres utilisateur·ice·s ?
Est-ce que cela dépend de la proximité sociale que vous avez avec la personne qui boost votre message ? Existe-t-il des situations dans lesquelles vous voudriez que votre message reste "Public" mais où les boosts seraient limités ?

#FollowFriday

I won't do everyone because then there'll be some for next week ...

@mxtthxw co-created the #Firefish #Glub (although he'll say he created it fully)

@GoatsLive - This is the quintessential #Mastodon account to follow

@chiasm recently liked one of my #toots

@DocCarms posts and #boosts some interesting stuff.

@JStatePost is ... #bonkers

@Quietgirl82 posts loads of science that I'm too stupid to understand.

More next week, guys! ...

Sobre #boosts

No começo eu dava bastante boost nos posts que achava interessante, mas comecei a notar que apareciam muito boosts repetidos na minha TL.

Hoje tenho dado bem menos, às vezes dou e depois retiro.

Mastodon podia melhorar nessa questão de não repetir posts já vistos.

#askfedi I am about to buy a Samsung GT-B2710 feature phone. Old as it is in mobile years, it does offer calendar and contact synchronisation to remote servers. I believe this is based on SyncML (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyncML). Currently, I have a #yunohost server with #nextcloud, syncing to devices via caldav/carddav. My question is: Could I hot-glue the dumbphone's sync capabilities with my current calendar and contacts sync?

Picture for clarity. #Boosts welcome.

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the wider #Fediverse,

Ready for more tips to navigate your Mastodon journey? Let's dive right in:

• Remember, #Mastodon isn't a monolith! It's a federation of many servers, each with its own community and rules. Choose your server wisely, and find the one that best fits your needs and interests.

• When writing a post, consider setting the #privacy level. It can be public, unlisted, followers-only, or direct. Make sure you’re comfortable with who can see what you're sharing.

• Make use of the #ContentWarning feature when posting about sensitive subjects. It's not just about spoilers but also for heavy or controversial topics. Respect is key on the Fediverse.

• To connect with people, consider joining #conversations that interest you. Use the 'reply' button or start a new thread. Your voice matters!

• Be generous with your #boosts and #favorites. It's the Mastodon way of saying "I appreciate your content!"

Let's keep learning and growing together!

#FediverseTips #SocialMediaEtiquette #FediTips #MastodonTips

There should be a filter on the #Profile page, which hides the #Boosts a person has made. Only original posts, no boosts.

#Mastodon

Weil irgendwer mal erzählt hat, #Likes würden im #Fediverse nichts bringen, beobachte ich immer mehr Beiträge mit mehreren #Boosts, aber keinen Likes.

#wtf 🤦‍♀️

Hello,

Je tente de déprocrastiner rapport à l'achat d'une imprimante.

Vous conseillerez quoi de robuste, impression noir et blanc, pas trop encombrant et sans souci de compatibilité Linux ?

(je me suis bien énervée avec une Epson qui ne voulait plus prendre mes cartouches compatibles, je pense partir plutôt sur une laser)

#help #boosts appréciés

Lots of #boosts today, because my mind is #empty of #original #thoughts. Seems that, as I age, life becomes a cliche of repeating sh*ts, and since my understanding of decency means striving to be original, when that fails I boost others’ original thoughts.

It occurred to me why finding interesting people to #follow can be hard.

I look at the popular #toots that have been boosted a lot and often they don't interest me. And often it's the same people on the explore tab.

I have #niche tastes, see? And anything that gets a lot of #boosts is less likely to be niche.

That is all.

Maybe we should all do that follow Friday thing more.
