Solarbird :flag_cascadia:<p>I&#39;m definitely seeing new followers. Hi! Thanks for coming here. I know it&#39;s fiddly but I think it&#39;s worth it.</p><p>Here&#39;s the most important tip I can give you:</p><p>\🥳/ HASHTAGS \🥳/</p><p>Like old Twitter, this place lives on hashtags. Here&#39;s how to use them:</p><p>1) Put tags on EVERYTHING you don&#39;t want hidden.</p><p>1A) Seriously. Everything. Keep them appropriate! But.</p><p>2) FOLLOW hashtags. That&#39;s a thing you can do here. You can follow a hashtag like you can follow a person. Type in the search box, select it, then click follow.</p><p>3) Whenever you see someone interesting on that hashtag? Follow them. Follow people WITH ABANDON. Unfollow if it doesn&#39;t work out, that&#39;s okay here!</p><p>That&#39;s it. Welcome!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>twitter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/x" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>x</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlueSky</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/mastotips" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mastotips</span></a></p>
Solarbird :flag_cascadia:<p>Hey, <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> users and <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a> thinking about Threads!</p><p>1: Users:</p><p>A: You can limit who can send you DMs/PMs! You can also limit notifications!</p><p>B: You can also block a site entirely for yourself.</p><p>See attached pics for how.</p><p>2: Instance administrators:</p><p>If you don&#39;t want to block threads.net entirely, consider these options for your userbase&#39;s safety:</p><p>A: Between &quot;Full federation&quot; and &quot;Suspend&quot; there is LIMIT, which hides content from an instance unless a user either follows the user posting it, or searches for it.</p><p>B: There is also &quot;Reject media,&quot; which means you never cache a remote site&#39;s attachments. This de facto makes all such content sensitive (&quot;unavailable&quot;), requiring an additional click to view.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FediAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fediverse</span></a></p>
