@siderea @kissane I DID do a lot of librarian twitter, and now you have me thinking about how exactly I did that. I think it's a combination of:
* following a critical mass of people in that discourse community (doesn't need to & can't be all, but enough that if there's a thing Everyone's Talking About, you keep seeing it)
* quote tweets: honestly huge; the reaction/commentary turns things into Discourse (IIUC even bigger in Black twitter where it is also situated in call-&-response norms) 1/
@siderea @kissane * hashtags and/or search -- I never followed hashtags and didn't use them much, BUT the ability to find context on The Thing Going Around was pretty critical for making rapid sense of it; not sure if you need both hashtags & search to accomplish that, but you do need at least one, and I found search more useful (people don't always hashtag but they do use the terms they are talking about, you know?) /fin
