Good to know. I just posted it again using the and tags, to make it more discoverable. Which by the way is the other side of making search work better using the tools we have; tag heavily!

Hey all you people, brilliant idea!

I tried to do something in a similar vein with a while back. Feel free to trawl that tag for any resources or ideas.

I am too ill for much community building myself right now, but am super jazzed by what yer doing.

Go get our lost and wandering fellow trunksters! 💖

if you are looking to explore the / you can use an app like toot to look at the local feeds of other instances for example if you are an American who wants to see what’s happening across the pond ( fan?)
You could scan the mastodonapp.uk feed
Want to look for or others interested in ? Look at the newsie.social or journa.host instances maybe you have a hobby like look at an instance like dice.camp for accounts U may never see

Pour que vos messages soient "recherchables", n'hésitez pas à utiliser des hashtags. Les fonctions de recherche sur Mastodon sont centrées sur cet outil.

Vous pouvez créer un tag pour faire connaître un thème que vous jugez important ... vous pouvez utiliser un tag qui existe déjà ... ou faire un mélange !

Par exemple, le tag a été créé par quelqu'un et il se diffuse peu à peu.

🧵 Bienvenue à ceux qui arrivent sur Mastodon !!

Prenez le temps de remplir votre bio pour donner une idée de ce qui vous intéresse. Certains ajoutent aussi un message de présentation.

C'est aussi une bonne idée de publier et/relayer quelques messages.

A few tags n tips to help you get started.



I would suggest a follow of @feditips

And if you post an toot with tags of your special interests you'll have better luck finding yer kinda peeps.

There's no algorithm here, so it helps to be a bit more active and intentional about building your timeline.

Can I get a few people to be Stewards of the Tag for the next couple of ?

I will be on silent retreat and afk. Either creating your own toots or just go in and boost some of what is already there.

Generally enliven the tag, remind ppl to take a mo to look out for new folks trying to find their way.

@mike
Excellent tip! Pls drop toots with this kinda stuff using the tag.
Theoretically we'll have noobs scrolling the tag looking for new info, resources, and connections. I can't put ALL THE THINGS about the fediverse in a single toot. Our goal is to have something simple that has what needed to help folks engage, from there they can explore as needed.
