Excellent thread compilation. Very much the gold standard for how to handle this vexing problem on Mastodon.

I can't sleep so I'm going to make that your problem. Let's talk about curation of information, no come back! I mean "gaining visibility and reach for your posts on Mastodon."

I'm a big nerd so I like to find out how things work. I knew how stuff worked on Twitter and why it was a Gen X/boomer platform. In this thread I hope to explain why Mastodon is a millennial platform, why there's no search*, and what you can do about it.

I was just doing some curation and lists for accounts I follow and I recommend these people for great opinions, best boosts and crossing several intersections of politics, liberation and humour.

@violetathena

Well, I don't know about "famous people" but I choose to use my powers to boost the voices of people who are talking about things I care about. E.g. trans rights, racism, the future and design of Mastodon, books and science fiction, TTRPGs etc

My inner librarian is sad that important information and conversation gets lost because people aren't used to the platform.

_We_ are the algorithm, that's how I see it anyway.

@Homebrewandhacking I am using #Misskey for #Curation due to its custom timeline features (called “Antennas”) that allow me to differentiate between those I follow.

#Introduction

I'm PJ Coffey, 40s, non-binary.

I'm a geek and very interested in Curation especially #MastodonCuration

If you came for roleplaying things go to Pin2. #HomebrewAndHacking

If you came for activism go to Pin3

If you came for non-roleplaying geek things go to Pin4.

If you came for counselling go to Pin5.

If you would like a follow back, have a read of what seems relevant and write something to let me know how I should curate you for my lists. :)

@oligneisti that is very interesting.

I'm doing a bit of #MastodonCuration because whilst I'm pretty new here there are fascinating conversations that are just... disappearing and will never be found.

The power of # to let people get themselves up to speed and catch up on conversations and find people is wildly important but they're very much blunt objects.

The great thing about none of the journos on here knowing a GD thing about Mastodon or curating is there's this tiny window we're in. This tiny window where I can look at a BS scare story and smile because there's no # and it's not going anywhere. #MastodonCuration

@duckus

Well, don't boost crap? Boost stuff you like. If someone is following you, hopefully they'll like it. 😀

If you want your musings to be searchable then #Duckus your work that you feel noteworthy and blam, job done. 😀

And as for #MastodonCuration whacking tags on _fascinating_, _valuable_ discussions so that they can be found by other audiences is actually pretty important, or they're gone!

I'm new here but I think that all works. 😀

@caryn @kkeller I'm currently engaged in polite #MastodonCuration which basically is because there's so many valuable discussions and they'll be lost for new(er) people without a # I ask nicely if a bunch of selected # are useful.

Some journalists are polite and grateful others don't understand or appreciate the labour.

Help preserve discussions you feel deserving. 😀 we are the algorithm. 😉

@brigantine72 @briankrebs @micahflee I am not an expert but unless free text search is introduced across all servers (and actually that's a TERRIBLE idea) than # are the way. A recent update let's you follow a # and I've decided to adopt respectful #MastodonCuration as a result.

Man, I love #MastodonCuration on #Mastodon I get to read cool stuff and have to think about it enough to put some # on there.

My other other new hobby is telling wannabe big accounts that I "can't" reboost their pictures because they have no alt-text. Let's be honest, I _won't_ but maybe can't will get through and then they'll start acting in an #accessible fashion.

@VirginiaMurr @atomicpoet

I realise that this is an older thread but I think the discussion here is really valuable which is why I bookmarked it.

I've been getting into #MastodonCuration and was wondering, since there is no search function, whether it would be OK to add:

#TwitterMigration
#StayAndFight
#DontSpreadHate
#Censorship
#ElonMusk

To help people get information to form their views?

I can delete if annoying.

@AnarchoDoggo

Well, for search purposes may I suggest:

#AntiFascism #TwitterFascism #MastodonDesign #MastodonCuration #MastodonSearch #TwitterMigration
#KolektivaAntiFascist

As some tags to help until a redesign gets implemented?

@JLSA That's a really good question. 😀

I don't have an agenda is the root. There's a lot of different efforts to help the world out and I can support people who can by enabling them to find information. (#MastodonCuration is one of my hobbies.) And boosting there posts.

I can be kind to people. And I enjoy listening. 😀

But I don't really enjoy "discourse". It brings out the worst in me and I don't want to be the worst person I can be, I want to be the best I can. 😀

@Solitude Well welcome aboard! :)

A thing you can do to help posts that you think are awesome and deserve more eyeballs is curation.

I do stuff like whack some # on like... #TwitterMigration say and #MastodonBoost or even #MastodonCuration and then people who are interested in those topics will be able to find them. There's no search function so sometimes even putting someone's name on like #Dura can help you find all their posts.
