meta, on boosting, for new fedis
@jonny Don't forget hashtags. People write something beautiful and have important conversations and threads... and then there's no #.
Does my head in.
And replies are good too. An active conversation brings people in.
I really should look up how to make a group...
@Homebrewandhacking @jonny I’ve seen groups and tried to look them up but I’m not sure I understand them. How do they work and what’s the idea? Are they a base-#Mastodon feature?
@Homebrewandhacking @maegul oh! hark! https://a.gup.pe/
Make a group by tagging a @newgroup and then people can follow that handle. every time you mention it that post will be boosted to the group
@Homebrewandhacking sorry no ya gotta do
@handle @a.gup.pe
(without spaces)
masto just hides the domain by default
Ah ha! Thank you, that seems to have created successfully!
Should I understand that you made this? :-?
I apologise I'm very new here.
@Homebrewandhacking no apologies needed :) guppe is i believe from my fellow co-oper @datatitian
@jonny @datatitian Ta. I've chucked 'em a follow.
I do tend to like empowering people to get themselves going.
