Not that ANY of this newfound knowledge was gained after screwing up my very first #polls or anything. Just going to chalk it up to fudge fingers (i.e., those polls were supposed to be single-answer polls!). So, after correcting this, it was quite a surprise to see the poll counters reset.
Hopefully other #n00bs will see this & learn from my mistakes to save themselves the trouble.

Semi-delicate #mastodon #n00b #question: What's the etiquette on boosting your own toots? Is this considered bad form here or just a way to push your old toots back up again to the top of the feed? After all, "pin on profile" is also an option. #mastodonn00b #mastodonquestion
#mastodon #n00b #question: I've noticed that when I DM people here, sometimes the system posts these messages as if they're toots and not DMs, which is a bit unsettling for obvious reasons. I've deleted the unintentional toots & retried DM'ing them a few times but it's still posting my DMs as toots instead of DMs. What do I need to do differently, if anything, to fix this? I thought all DMs would be listed in the "DM" section? Pls enlighten me, sage tooters. TY! #mastodonn00b #mastodonquestion

@kierisi I'm confused but I'm participating! #MastodonN00b
I remain terrible at Mastodon. I can’t even figure out how to replace my banner photo with a picture of my dog. And now I learn I have to start using hashtags for everything? #badatmastodon #mastodonn00b
Will do a proper introduction toot, soon, but for now: LOOOOVE the ad-free experience on here, and also that my timeline doesn't refresh suddenly while scrolling or reading. #awesome #mastodonn00b
If you're a Mastodon veteran, what #MastodonTips would you offer us #Mastodonn00b coming over in the #TwitterMigration?
As you can tell, the only thing I know yet is that hashtags are a thing! (thanks @tbaxter)
