Gregory's Server@JesseSkinner Mastodon is great, but to make it even better for professional use it might help if something like the "top-links" in the "catch-up" (Beta) window of #phanpy (https://phanpy.social/ ) is the home page by default for all users. These top-links are sorted by the number of times boosted by the ones *you follow*. This could be useful for #science, to highlight most important developments (e.g. publications) in your network. Now you easily miss them, causing some colleagues to leave.

@maccruiskeen @JesseSkinner OK, also social. Let's say you follow 200 others, and you stick to them, because you like their messages. Let's say 100 of them post/boost 5 messages per day. That is 500 messages in your timeline/day. A more silent friend or colleague posts one message per month, which might be quite important for both the sender and receiver. It is quickly snowed under.  @geertaarts @maccruiskeen you can turn on notifications on a per-account basis - so those friends whose posts you don't want to miss, click their profile and click the bell icon and their posts will show up in your notifications. @geertaarts @maccruiskeen @JesseSkinner This is specifically something I encountered myself. I solved it by unfollowing accounts, as well as turning off boosts, until I felt I was comfortable keeping track of all the accounts I followed. But that's me. @maccruiskeen @geertaarts @JesseSkinner there probably needs to be a separate LinkedInOdon |
@geertaarts @JesseSkinner Why should it be good for professional use? Not being good for professional use makes it more good for actually *social* use.
