Advice and opinions welcomed:

I have a LOT of interests and hobbies, many of which make their way here. But I've been ramping up my songwriting and music production, and plan to increase the sharing, promotion, and marketing around it too.

So my struggle is: do I create a new profile JUST for my music? Tricky because I have a lot of followers right here who are into music, but maybe the ones who aren't don't want to hear about it all the time.

@killyourfm here's someone with too many band pages. 😂 If you think you have a decent audience here, and you're not sure how steadily you'll work on that, create profile later.

You can always create profile now if you want to use it for some kind of progress diary.

I try to steer off additional profile creations until there's something viable to be presented and that is not one song.

@killyourfm this is why the Mastodon needs topics. When you follow a user you can follow all (default) or some of their topics as checkboxes. So you only see things you're interested in.

    @ThePlant Heh, thanks for that reminder.

    Lunchbox700,

    @killyourfm I’ve followed you a long time and I am of the camp you do what you want with your page why attempt to build a new audience.

    @Lunchbox700 Yea, that's a good point. As @AdamBishop mentioned, "it's normal to express your whole complex multifaceted personality."

    I think a part of me is stuck in some of the dark patterns I learned from Twitter over the years...

    Lunchbox700,

    @killyourfm hard to unlearn that bullshit

    @killyourfm

    Give people an easy to mute hashtag if they've had enough of it, like , and let them know they can mute it?

    Then they can always come back and check if they want.

    I think it's normal to express your whole complex multifaceted personality. If you have a particular passion, it's normal to express that too.

    If I had a profile for every one of my interests, I'd have a hundred profiles! 😅

    @killyourfm what the others said already tbh

    @killyourfm Like the others said: Just start out with sharing here and down the line you can make a poll to see how many people want you to continue posting. Muting via tag or a separate account could be an option later on :)

    @graves501 Well, when I see 5 quick replies with the same basic advice, I pay attention!

    Thank you Andrew.

    @killyourfm just use unique tags so those who are not interested can mute those posts

    @peturdainn Wow, 3 instant replies with the same advice. Seems like a sensible way forward, thanks!

    @killyourfm Please make sure it's very unique, because I don't want to risk muting any unrelated posts by other people

    killyourfm,
    @killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

    @DenJohn Roger that, it will probably be a combination of my name + band name or something.

    @killyourfm use a unique tag for those posts, so those who don't want to know about them can easily mute the tag?
