  1. @mrxmrt @devinprater As I understand, there isn’t a like button. The closest is when someone favourites a post. Favouriting is the equivelant of liking. I favourite all the time and get notifications when someone favourites mine. #UsingMastodon

  6. Twitterrific spoiled me. @Iconfactory made Twitter accessible, customizable, relevant, and useful. Twitter didn’t do any of that.

    That’s why I think I struggle here, or any orher SM platform

  7. I can’t remember how you create/manage hashtags you use (or want to use) often. Was that on the site?

    Anywoo—finally learned how to make a post (toot?) be hidden behind a “Content Warning” :WHILE: I was making this post.

    I’ve only ever seen folks use it for spoilers or the like, not that it’s actually sensitive or inappropriate for professional environments.

    Thank you, good sir!

  10. Just learned about Featured Hashtags on mastodon.

    I like this type of categorization feature as it could help me better curate my posts.

  11. Finding this really useful starting out here right now. Great guide for folks (like me) here that haven't Twittered in a long time too.

  12. CW: USPolitics, J6

    #UsingMastodon requires my participation. Sometimes I want to be passive but I recognize that effort produces better experiences. Learning to use the tools I have is essential. Fortunately the system here is without an algorithm working against me. I'm currently choosing to follow US politics without requiring others CW. But I use CW in recognition that USPol isn't of interest to all. Today I'll attempt to follow the #January6thCommittee hearing live here & see how that feels. #J6

  20. So, I’m a noob on #Mastodon and still trying to get a handle on #usingmastodon, and I was wondering, what’s the vocabulary? On Twitter, posts were tweets, and the verb was “to tweet”. Are parallels on Mastodon?

  22. @LizCharalambous Hellooooo!

    What can be helpful is to write a toot and hashtag it Introduction and then use hashtags at end of it for things you are interested in. you can pin your Introduction to your profile. I had absolutely no idea what i was doing when I joined 12 days ago- it does get easier.
    Also boost more often than RT in Twitter- helps to be found by others. Kate :)
