My Fediverse Advice

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. -
>Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this
i did not know this (and does not seem to be the case ime). could it have to do with the "quiet public" visibility setting?

I don't think it's obvious that they are kind of buried if you aren't looking from your own account.

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)

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. -

I love these suggestions! I'd also say follow hashtags! Lots and lots of hashtags that interest you, and groups! @futurebird

"the first @ person in a post you click takes you to a post, but any @ person links in their bio don't"
