Hello once more, friends of #BSDCafe and explorers of the #Fediverse,

Are you ready for some more useful tips to make the most out of your Mastodon journey? Here we go:

• Consider adding #AltText to images you post. Not only is it good for SEO, it's also considerate to visually impaired users. To add alt text, just click on 'Edit' after attaching an image to your post and write a brief description in the 'Describe for the visually impaired' field.

• Be mindful of the different #cultures on Mastodon. With a vast global community, it's always a good practice to be respectful of different customs, languages, and traditions.

• Get to know your server's #moderators and their policies. They're there to ensure a safe and harmonious experience for all users. In case of any trouble or queries, don't hesitate to reach out to them.

• In Mastodon, you can create #lists to better organize the content you follow. It's a great way to categorize and filter your feed, helping you stay on top of topics you're most interested in.

• Remember, #silencing or #suspending an account or server is always an option if you find content disturbing or inappropriate. You have control over your Fediverse experience.

Together, we're making the Fediverse a better place. Stay tuned for more tips!

Hello again, friends of #BSDCafe and all around the #Fediverse,

Eager to learn more about maneuvering through Mastodon? Here's what we have for you today:

• Get involved with the #local and #federated timelines. This is an excellent way to discover new people and topics. The local timeline shows posts from your server, while the federated timeline displays posts from servers yours is connected with.

• Don’t forget to check the #trending hashtags. A great way to keep up with hot topics, events, or conversations in the Fediverse. Just click on one and join the discussion!

• Like any community, Mastodon appreciates good #netiquette. Be kind, be thoughtful, and remember there's a real person behind each account. Let's create a safe, welcoming space together! 🤝🌈

• Mastodon supports custom #emojis. Use them to add some flair to your posts and make them stand out. Fun and communication go hand in hand here! 😊

• If you're looking for more privacy, consider enabling the #TwoFactorAuthentication (2FA) on your account. It adds an extra layer of security to your Mastodon experience.

Knowledge is power, so let's keep sharing it!

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!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and #Fediverse,

Here are some more #tips for those coming from other social media platforms or who are new to the Fediverse: 🌟

• Add #hashtags to your #profiles. Include your interests and the topics you'll be posting about frequently. This will make it easier for others to find you. 🔍🏷️

• #Engagement grows based on the topics you discuss and the hashtags you use, as well as your #interactions. There are no #algorithms guiding others' choices here; you'll be known based on what you say and do. 🗣️🚀

• There are troublemakers in the Fediverse too. Instances exist that are FULL of troublemakers, delinquents, and unwanted content. But you can mute, block, or, if you prefer, report such instances. 🙅‍♂️🚫

Leaving just links and URLs to articles & videos without further explanation or context is rude. At least write a short summary or a hint what I'm about to read/watch. It feels like jumping in a pool without knowing the temperature of the water and if there will be seals or geese.
