My Fediverse Advice:* Follow more people. No, even more people than that. Basically, if you find a real person and their posts are good follow 'em* If you get a good reply to a post boost it. If you make a good reply to a post boost it. Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this. As long as the post is an OK start to a conversation or interesting boost it. * Write thoughtful replies. And if you put effort into a reply boost it or probably only the people tagged will see it.

@futurebird I am still relatively new to the Fediverse. I'm very with it, but there's one thing I've noticed re:boosts. I now follow several people who regularly boost posts from people I already follow, so I may see the post when it's first posted, then see it again two or three times when it's boosted by others. Is there some setting to adjust to avoid that, or do I just bask in the fact that I'm part of a pod of like-minded folk?

@futurebird odd. i see picrelated just fine - not my reply, not boosted, not buried.it is kind of inconvenient though that when i see a reply in the tl there is no "go to start of thread" button or anything; if i click the post itself it may or may not load the context.e.g. 2nd post just doesnt load the rest of the presumed thread(i do boost great replies #mandatoryvirtuesignal but i did not know i had to do it with mine as well)

@unspeaker There are three things I would love to see change about the fedi... no... four really:1. I still want to be able to quote boost.2. Better threading or let me know WHY I can't see what post a person is replying to when I click on it.3. A little better grouping of posts. This has been improving ... but more things like "this was boosted 5 times and 2 times by people you follow"4. For the love of GOD that issue where you get taken to another server's page and can't do anything.

@VirginiaHolloway @futurebird If you're using vanilla Mastodon on the web, the gear icon at the top of your home feed should give you a switch to turn off boosts. Another option is, if someone in particular boosts stuff you've already seen, you can turn off boosts for them specifically. Third, if you want to follow just *hundreds* of people like I do, the feed is pretty hopping and you'll see fewer repeat boosts but they'll he the very best.

@futurebirdagree on all 4 countsnote that fedi ≠ masto comes into play here. e.g. misskey is discordified and a bit confusing, but it has a working multi-column view, and the "post detail" view appears in a popup on top of thatin the 10% of cases when i want to open a post in a new tab, i have to dig through some menus or something - but otoh misskey has never redirected me to another server

@unspeaker @joakimfors Well this is exactly the issue. It's hard to start a conversation *about* something. For example now and then I'll necro an old post of my own and it can confuse people. With a quote boost I could give it context. eg "This is what I said back in march and I'm saying it again now."It's SO useful.

@futurebird there are at least two tactics: Read everything that people you follow post, or just glance over the flood of posts that you can't really consume in the few hours you are awake.When people who follow over 1,000 accounts start following me, I know they'll probably see less than 1% of my posts.https://mastodon.social/@Stefan_S_from_H/111964750438071191

Is this some setting I haven't turned on yet, or do I need to switch from mastodon.social to another server if I want to write long posts?

@Stefan_S_from_H @davidruffner That was what I remember from twitter. But, I've found it to be less of the case here. I do think the fedi could be subject to the problem some places like tumblr have where older more established accounts stop following new people once they are happy with how active their feed is ... so being new might feel isolating. I didn't follow anyone new for a few months! I just forgot to do it. And that's not good, correcting it I see I've been missing out.

I figured I'd see them anyway.

@futurebird@sauropods.win Thank you for the nice suggestions.Similar to this post, I also strongly advocate usage of hashtags in posts and also following hashtags.Write thoughtful posts without caring about reach and visibility. Good posts will find relevant audience.In this context, I must highlight a quote by John Stuart Mill. This quote encourages individuals to embrace their right to free expression and to engage in respectful and constructive dialogue with others.Every man who says frankly and fully what he thinks is so far doing a public service. We should be grateful to him for attacking most unsparingly our most cherished opinions.

@futurebird For someone with the opposite issue (my feed(s) end up too big with poor signal to noise ratio) I have some imperfect additional advice.* Mute and block. It’s fine, you aren’t being a bad person for doing so. I’d be very surprised if people don’t have me blocked.* Depending on your client look into lists, some allow you to filter out from your “main” feed* Look into different clients, they can add features you feel that you are missing

@futurebird @blogdiva Following hashtags is also a good way to find people with similar interests to follow

@futurebird I'm torn between making a thoughtful reply and avoiding repeating myself. Not sure that my followers are that interested in me making the same point 17 times 😀

@dualhammers Yes. For example on this thread there is a very funny photo of a cat knocking books off a shelf that's just worth seeing on its own... even if you don't know it's a response to my poll:https://sauropods.win/@lapis@elekk.xyz/113453991991134478And on this one there is a whole "wingless wasp" tangent:https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/113456173183497147If you don't boost replies that won't happen.

@futurebird And make copious use of filters to proactively curate your feed from content that hurts your soul.

@CStamp May I suggest a filter for "cheeto" ? It's just a pet peeve of mine... but the context tends to be the kind of thing that puts me at risk of getting crabby with people who don't really deserve it.

@futurebird one other thing I would add is follow @popularposts such a good addition to the feed to identify what everyone is boosting

@futurebird Yhis "boost your own replies" thing never occurred to me before. Thank you, very helpful advice!

@futurebird I added a couple of tags when I started, and then slowly added interesting people as they turned up in my tags or the local server timeline. I kept slowly following more people until I couldn't keep up. Then I kept adding people until I stopped worrying about missing posts. Now I still follow new people, but much less frequently than in the first few months. I never sought out specific people, but I crossed paths with people I know IRL in only a couple of months, and "known" people I followed on other social media in just a few weeks.

@futurebird I use Ice Cubes for my iPad and I have quote posts. What app are you using?

@futurebird The interesting side effect of following as many interesting people as possible (to build your own algorithm) is you absolutely have to create lists for people whose posts you don't want to miss (for example real-world friends, or people whose posts are *especially* interesting or influential on your own thinking).
