Let's keep #Mastodon welcoming!

If you see someone cool with few followers:
Follow them so they don't post into the void!

If someone made a thoughtful post with no replies:
Be the first to write back!

If you like something someone said:
Say you heard them with a favourite!

"Followers" are not necessarily visibel within the fediverse, but otherwise the sentiment is true.

that's not the way favourites work on the fediverse.

there are no "likes" here; a favourite is something you're doing for yourself. that's why it's on option on your menu, to see everything you mark as a fave.

if you like something and want to show it then boost it. follow the person, boost other posts of theirs.

also mastodon is just another tool to access the fediverse. for example i use pleroma instead of mastodon yet we are still somehow communicating with each other.

@nm Every social media site I've been on I've always been one to reply to posts that had none, like, share, Etc.
Also for what it's worth, I'm always cool with friendly new followers!

Looks like I owe you an apology for derailing your thread. That certainly wasn't what I intended, and I won't engage any further.

That guy was already a bit derailed to begin with. πŸ˜‚

@nm blows my mind how many people will die on the hill of β€œboost don't fav”; literally nothing stops you from doing both. Gaming the algorithms has broken so many brains.

I tend to just Boost & Favourite anything I like it's a quick tap and covers all bases!
I don't tend to boost pictures with no Alt Text! But they may get a favourite.
If folks don't have a profile or pinned posts they don't often get followed! πŸ’–

@Nume MacAroon Let's also keep the network welcoming for those of us who don't use mastodon. This is the fediverse, not mastodon. Please don't misname the network, as that is pretty excluding for the rest of us.
