  1. Helllo, I have a #MastodonHowTo Etiquette question : Sometimes I really like a post, and I boost it. But I also realize that in the post are some hashtags missing , which would give it a much larger impact, making it more easily found etc.
    What is the polite thing to do ? Write a reply that only contains the missing hashtags ? Paraphrase the post in the reply and add the hashtags ? Or is adding new hashtags not the polite thing to do ? Anybody any thoughts ?
    PS: did I use the correct hashtag ?

  9. There are two effective ways of participating in a discussion topic: #groups and #hashtags.

    For example, choose your <topic> and type <topic> in the search box at the top of your screen. Then:
    - "Profiles": spot one ending in "@a.gup.pe" then on the right push "Follow";
    - "Hashtags": spot an item and then in the top right-hand corner "Follow the hashtag".

    You may enter a peculiar discussion below, if it piques you:
    #moralBeauty
    #SpotAndDiscard [… what distracts from autonomy]
    #institutionsDeceive
    #judicialBias
    #unitary
    #fragility
    #proZionism [support, allies]
    #israelism [foreigners raised to unconditionally love Israel]
    #JewishState [citizenship]

  13. With which publishing level should you reply to toots? Unlisted? (have only used public up to now 😳) Still trying to learn the best way of using #mastodonhowto

  14. Question for more experienced mastodon users:

    How does one post a series of messages which are related to each other ? Usually they are numbered. Is there an accepted etiquette for this on the network?

  30. Is there an effective way to thread posts on Mastodon? In my feed I see posts. Many are from the same author, replying to their own post, in a cascading series. Is there a setting I can use to put all of these posts and replies in line? As opposed to saying them randomly in my feed?

  33. How to manage “noisy Tooters”? I am interested in a couple of accounts but I get rather annoyed by their binge-posting #mastodonHowTo #feditips #fedihowto

  34. @jambo

    Yes. If you go to the settings page under appearance here:

    hachyderm.io/settings/preferen

    You will see something called "Slow Mode." This will make the timeline stop updating so fast. It's very annoying.

    Is the app beeping a lot? That's the other one that tends to drive people nuts...

  38. @bunnytown I don’t see it on yours, but I also don’t see it on a photo I posted last night - and I was so careful to try and be as descriptive as I could. What are we doing wrong?

  40. I've been creeping around looking at a lot of people's accounts (I'm doing a survey) Noticed that people with very few followers have one thing in common: they have not boosted the posts of other people often if at all.

    (When I see posts like this encouraging boosting I always think "well that person just wants boosts, whatever") That's not it. On twitter it was important to only boost exceptional content -- boost here to invite more people to join in talking about something. #mastodonhowto
