Newbie tip: Mastodon doesn't show the number of favs/boosts until you click on a toot, and also you won't necessarily see the full number of favs/boosts even then, especially if you're on a newer instance whose members aren't following that many remote accounts yet (only boosts/favs/replies from followed users are shown).

My advice: just focus on the content and the connections rather than the engagement metrics. Because that's what matters anyway. 😊

Here is my first attempt to make #tootmusic:

"mastodon is dying!" shouts an article on a website that bombards you with intrusive advertising to please, please give them money, please.

*looks at twitter* oh good, i got followed by a tech exec and three more brands

*looks at mastodon* i got followed by 8 witches, 3 queer furries and 7 cybrepunks

Any command-line mastodon tools that don't run on nodejs out there yet?

The bird just decided to give Mastodon another boost. They are deleting tweets from people complaining about #United. https://thenextweb.com/twitter/2017/04/11/twitter-delete-united-airlines-tweets/#.tnw_YGUEpwwV

Gleich mal mastodonexperte.de, mastodonberater.de, mastodonmarketing.de und mastodonexcellence.de gesichert. hah! #mastodon #toot #tröt

Ich hätte so Lust, 1000 Mastodon-Witze zu zeichnen und hier zu posten, damit sie niemand lesen kann. #AberArbeit

Add yourself to https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/ so we can find you!

As you settle into Mastodon, be sure to learn the lingo:
- "toot": a tweet
- "tusking": starting a pointless fight with another user
- "woolly": going viral, as in "wow, that toot really went woolly"
- "extinction event": when a whole instance goes down

I love that the cool kids on Mastodon are the queer anarchist French witches. :heart_eyes:

Hier toot sich ja gar nichts.
