Tips for newbies, part 3
Remember that there's no algorithm here determining what you see and don't see. It's all down to who you follow and what they boost onto timelines, all presented in chronological order.
Make liberal use of those like and boost buttons. Follow people with interesting things. Make new friends!
Don't censor key words to try circumvent an algorithm or filters. Make sure your stuff is easy to find (or filter) and the community will appreciate it.

Tips for newbies, part 4: More on Hashtags You can actually follow hashtags on Mastodon now. That's a new feature from within the last month. This makes it even more important to use tags in your post, when it's reasonable to do so. Plus, it means you can follow a tag that you care about, even when it's being talked about by people you'd never have found otherwise. Remember that only hashtags in the body of your post count. Don't put them in the CW or they won't work! #MastoTips
