DToher, to random

This is a piece with great tips on finding mastodon (or other Fediverse) content, especially if you are on a smaller, or even self-hosted instance.

@DToher @smach

This looks like a good argument for not having or being part of a small instance. Also seems like a good reason to follow more people.

But please, for the love of all things good online, DO NOT BOOST EVERY SINGLE TOOT YOU LIKE. Please just boost the ones you think others would also like.

When I follow someone who boosts everything, I turn off boosts from that person or unfollow. I’m sure I’m not the only one. That seems to defeat the purpose of boosts, no?

@mlanger @DToher People have different tastes on whether they do or don't like accounts that boost frequently. Which is exactly why Mastodon lets you follow accounts yet choose not see the posts they boost but only their original posts.
@hrbrmstr 's boosts, this image is just an example]

All users probably don't enjoy consuming information the exact same way. Flexibility FTW.
