Hello dear friends. This is fediverse.

Undesired comments with constructive critisism are welcome.

But if your opinion was not specifically asked for and you don't have anything positive to say:

you can switch off your device and go for a walk or do whatever it is that makes you tick.

If upsetting people is what makes you tick, consider yourself blocked with no questions asked.

Because we are not the droids you are looking for.

Been seeing a lot of folks coming in with panic about lack of interactions in #fediverse

You don't go, as an example, to a weekend convention with 50000 people and expect to have 49000 people waiting to share a shower with you on monday.

Calm down and scream in to the void. You'll find friends eventually. Except if you are a racist bigot.

Oh and you have to use #hashtags.

I strongly recommend everybody, just once in a while, to scroll through the federated timeline.

You'll find interesting gems, since not everyone chooses to use hashtags.

I've found great #people , #photography, #jokes, #news , etc

Re: my last boosted toot, I have been using the unlisted status on a lot of my replies with the (it appears, incorrect) belief it would hide those toots from other people's home feeds.

But if unlisted toots still appear in followers' feeds, even if they aren't part of that particular conversation, what are the best practices for conversations on Mastodon? What's the best etiquette to follow?

Any tips or thoughts warmly welcomed.

Do you need a #ContentWarning if the link you’re using has stuff in it rather than the toot? Im asking for a friend. #FediEtiquette

If someone self-boosts a toot from a long time ago, and you already favorited it the first time around, the best response is to un-favorite and re-favorite it to affirm to them that yes, it really is still good, and they're right to self-boost it.

Weird thing looking at https://fediverse.observer/stats
Seems like while the number of new #mastodon accounts and posts has increased rapidly over the last three months, the number of comments/replies has remained largely static?

@yuhline the @feditips account offers some top-notch guidance on this. Also hashtags #FediTips and #FediEtiquette

@murshedz hah, I don't, but check out #FediEtiquette and #FediTips

I’m brand new here so don’t laugh. Question: how do I support my server? I don’t yet understand how this platform works, but I’m trying to get it. It seems that individuals maintain the server space for our content.I know it’s not anyone’s job to educate me, and I’ve been reading up, but a lot of the language is new too, such as #instance and #fediverse so figuring the language and the structure out at the same time is making my brain hurt. I love it here tho and want to support. #fedietiquette
