where'd my #introduction go? i know i had one pinned… whatever. i boost #random#dumb things, #trains, #dogs, #cats if they're outrageous enough (they're a dime a dozen here, gotta be selective). i'm highly political and try to keep it off masto (including filtering hot-button topics from my own feed). i buy local #art and post my haul. i live in an english-speaking country but occasionally break out jacques clouseau #french to torture people. my shift key hasn't worked since about 2006. and i only #over#hashtag in #introduction posts.
5 min, get your snacks! riff along or just listen using #BaroqueSun 4:30pmPT/7:30pmET https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjilFQek73bcARPjXXehfxDYVeS-V_Dmj it includes a theorbo of cartoonishly large size Agusta McKay Lodge and Baby Alana Youseffian (two Voices of Music grads) and a lesson in piccolo cellos as well as Yo-yo Ma! #hashtag THIS time I'm not leaving the living room, we'll do this thing from upstairs today! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping:
Es wird mir ein ewiges Rätsel bleiben, warum mir bei der Recherche zu einem Thema (via #Hashtag) im #Fediverse bei jedem Account (Instanz) etwas anderes angezeigt wird.
if following a #hashtag I think the hashtag followed should be prominent when you see a post with it in your feed -- this instantly answers: "why am I seeing this?"
If you want your posts to be visible, use hashtags. This is more important here than anywhere else, because there is no cross-instance full-text search. And people do follow hashtags.
In my experience well-hashtagged posts get half of their interactions from people who don't follow me.
