Hey there @WedaleBooks, you sound like a nice little place!
I've been off twitter for long enough now to not know what obvious reasons might be, unless the stuff that made me leave has gotten progressively worse.
Regardless, fork that place, welcome! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.
As the fediverse has no algorithm but many, many users are following hashtags if not accounts, visibility depends on you using hashtags.
Some suggested hashtags are #bookodon #bookodons #books #book
👋🏼
@WedaleBooks and by the way tell us more about Lucas, please (good tags for him should be FediCats, CatsOfMastodon, WhiskersWednesday, CaturdayEveryDay and Caturday, and trust me we need pics of book store cats here)
