  1. When someone boosts an interesting post, I want to be able to thank them. I can easily interact with the boosted post, but I can't favorite the boosting action itself. I could send the person who boosted a direct message but I worry it would be out of context. How do you let people know that you appreciate their boosts?

    When I boost it feels like it is going into a void. It would be nice to know if my boosting was helpful.

  2. Seeing a lot more people joining Mastodon.. it's been a few months so I'm posting my Mastodon video on how to join and setup your profile. Few things are slightly different now.. will be doing an app review and how-to in the future youtube.com/watch?v=jI4Dg1OnNn

  3. Still figuring this space out. Here are a few questions that probably have really easy and obvious answers.
    1. How do you add #hashtags to your bio? When I try to add then they don’t seem to be hyperlinks. What am I missing?
    2. Should I set up different accounts on different servers? Or just use one account for everything?
    3. Is there an easy way to see what hashtags are most used? Or just #MakeShitUp & see what happens?

    I use the Safari interface on my iPad, and it's great! Can follow hashtags on it, which is Major Advantage

  5. Ich fave, wenn ich etwas gut finde.
    Ich booste, wenn ich der Meinung bin, dass das auch für meine TL interessant sein könnte.

    Und ja, ich weiß, dass faven keinen Algorithmus befeuert, sondern "nur" dazu dient, anderen kundzutun, dass der Beitrag gefällt. Reicht doch - oder? Und es macht die ganze Sache ehrlicher als zB auf #Twitter!
