Mastodon Tip #1:
Hashtags are great to find, follow and filter topics.
Place them at the very end of your toot, so your helpful list can automatically shorten in timelines by apps like Tusky.
So nobody has to complain about to many of them...
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
