@lmf02@mastodon.social #Welcome! And, as everyone says, hashtags drive the fediverse. But a dirty secret is we do not all think of topics in the same way. #Knitting is big, but it is a subtopic #fiberarts — or #fibrearts! #Yarn, or #spinning? So many ways to find interesting things. Also, you can follow a hashtag, and get to see many of the posts floating in the ether about a topic you have interest in, but have not found people who share it yet.

@Amgine@mamot.fr @lmf02@mastodon.social Which is why I use #TextileArts instead of fiber/fibre arts, and I would encourage y'all to do likewise.

@Amgine@mamot.fr @lmf02@mastodon.social I would also lightly warn against using all of possible tags in hopes of catching everyone. Occasionally I see people with a massive list of tags, longer than the post text, and I just block them on the assumption they're spam lol

@Amgine@mamot.fr @lmf02@mastodon.social That's what I like about Fedigroups: https://about.fedigroups.social You can find the group and tag it and it will boost the post to anyone who follows it. There are a limited number of groups listed at: https://about.fedigroups.social/directory so it's a lot easier to get right. Some examples are: !@fiberarts@fedigroups.social and !@crochet@fedigroups.social (the ! before the tag stops them from boosting the post)
