      If this is your first time on the #Fediverse, the instance (server) that you are on, may not be all that suitable and that is fine. It's OK to change.

      Check out https://fedidb.com/ or https://fediverse.observer/ for different servers.
      Avoid the 'official' Mastodon servers (mastodon.social and mastodon.online) where possible. Moderation is lacking to say the least.

        Have a #introduction post. It's an extension to your bio that should tell users who you are and why they should follow you.

          #Hashtags are your friend. There is no algorithm with the Fediverse to "de-rank" posts with too little or too many hashtags.

            #Mastodon is NOT the #Fediverse - There are other platforms which have the underlying technology (ActivityPub). Some of those are #Pixelfed, #Sharkey, #Lemmy, #NodeBB, and some applications have plugins/add-ons that enable AP, such as #WordPress

              Where possible, try to add #AltText to media that you add. This will help users that have a visual impairment to 'see' the picture or video. A little goes a long way.

                Don't get too bogged down on the usage of Content Warnings/CW - Find out what others on your instance (server) are using CW's for and try and adopt that.

                  If you are using #Mastodon, enjoy the extra 200-character limit πŸ˜‰
                  Other software like #Sharkey has a limit of 100,000 characters! And depending on the software, all of it can be displayed on screen (Some will have 'Read More' link)

                  Oh, and enjoy editing posts too!

                    Verification 'ticks' on profile names mean nothing on here. They are just custom emoji.

                    You can verify that you own a website by adding a line of code to your site.
                    Check out https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account/ on how to do this.

                      'Filters' are a great way to collapse or completely hide a keyword or phrase.
                      Without them, I would have probably gone crazy ages ago.
