@incoherentmumblings : TIL how to mute a conversation...

I wasn't aware of that, thank you!

Quite surprising that one has to click one of their OWN posts to mute others...

Tnx!

Helllo, I have a #MastodonHowTo Etiquette question : Sometimes I really like a post, and I boost it. But I also realize that in the post are some hashtags missing , which would give it a much larger impact, making it more easily found etc.
What is the polite thing to do ? Write a reply that only contains the missing hashtags ? Paraphrase the post in the reply and add the hashtags ? Or is adding new hashtags not the polite thing to do ? Anybody any thoughts ?
PS: did I use the correct hashtag ?

There are two effective ways of participating in a discussion topic: #groups and #hashtags.

For example, choose your <topic> and type <topic> in the search box at the top of your screen. Then:
- "Profiles": spot one ending in "@a.gup.pe" then on the right push "Follow";
- "Hashtags": spot an item and then in the top right-hand corner "Follow the hashtag".

You may enter a peculiar discussion below, if it piques you:
#moralBeauty
#SpotAndDiscard [… what distracts from autonomy]
#institutionsDeceive
#judicialBias
#unitary
#fragility
#proZionism [support, allies]
#israelism [foreigners raised to unconditionally love Israel]
#JewishState [citizenship]

With which publishing level should you reply to toots? Unlisted? (have only used public up to now ) Still trying to learn the best way of using #mastodonhowto

Question for more experienced mastodon users:

How does one post a series of messages which are related to each other ? Usually they are numbered. Is there an accepted etiquette for this on the network?

#PSA

I strongly recommend everybody, just once in a while, to scroll through the federated timeline.

You'll find interesting gems, since not everyone chooses to use hashtags.

I've found great #people , #photography, #jokes, #news , etc

Wie kann ich #mastodon so einstellen das meine #-Liste nur deutsche Artikel anzeigt?

Questions for #tooters - is there a way to see your own toots in the #Tusky app? And a way to add people to lists in the app?

If anyone needs to switch instances, this step by step how-to lets you switch and maintain as much of your info as possible. (Follows, bookmarks, blocks, etc.) Very helpful!

I just noticed that all my followed hashtags didn't transfer over, so be sure to follow all those again.

OK #mastodon and #mastodonhowto I give up. How do I get news in my news feed and community in my community feed?

Is there an effective way to thread posts on Mastodon? In my feed I see posts. Many are from the same author, replying to their own post, in a cascading series. Is there a setting I can use to put all of these posts and replies in line? As opposed to saying them randomly in my feed?

How to manage “noisy Tooters”? I am interested in a couple of accounts but I get rather annoyed by their binge-posting #mastodonHowTo #feditips #fedihowto

I've been creeping around looking at a lot of people's accounts (I'm doing a survey) Noticed that people with very few followers have one thing in common: they have not boosted the posts of other people often if at all.

(When I see posts like this encouraging boosting I always think "well that person just wants boosts, whatever") That's not it. On twitter it was important to only boost exceptional content -- boost here to invite more people to join in talking about something. #mastodonhowto
