Alpaca getting into a taxi like it's done it a hundred times before.

It's what the internet is for....

I think I'm starting to get how mastodon works now.

We just post about how other people should use mastodon right?

@sinabhfuil yes but give it a chance. The servers compared to the bird app’s must be like comparing a 486 to a Cray. But we paid for that speed with our data.

@freemo let’s hear it for Generation X. About time. 👴

Please take a moment to drink in the absolute spectacle that is the Brands.town instance: https://brands.town/explore

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:

Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.

Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.

Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.

Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.

Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.

Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.

@davoloid ooh DARK - now that's one of my top fave Netflix shows long with The OA and Sense8. Kudos for posting the reminder!

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
