PJ Coffey<p>I can&#39;t sleep so I&#39;m going to make that your problem. Let&#39;s talk about curation of information, no come back! I mean &quot;gaining visibility and reach for your posts on Mastodon.&quot;</p><p>I&#39;m a big nerd so I like to find out how things work. I knew how stuff worked on Twitter and why it was a Gen X/boomer platform. In this thread I hope to explain why Mastodon is a millennial platform, why there&#39;s no search*, and what you can do about it. </p><p>1/T</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/MastodonCuration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MastodonCuration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Feditips</span></a></p>

PJ Coffey<p>The great thing about none of the journos on here knowing a GD thing about Mastodon or curating is there&#39;s this tiny window we&#39;re in.
