I have boosted a few requests recently from people looking to find good servers to join for their friends, organizations, etc. Exciting to see the interest!
But also, is it worth talking about the tools we have for finding/recommending servers?
Does mastodon have any concept of "follow a post"? Sometimes someone asks a good question and I want to get notifications for its responses the same as if I had posted it.
Slack, as an example, has "get notified of new replies" for threads.
This would be a big boost for "usefulness" of mastodon for me.

Hey new people on Mastodon, do you want your posts to be as visible and discoverable as possible?
If so, you might want to opt into "full text search". This means the entire contents of your public posts would be searchable and much easier to find.
If you don't opt in, your posts are only searchable by hashtag.
This guide tells you how to opt in, and answers common questions:

(This only affects public posts. Non-public posts aren't searchable.)

Recently, we were asked why we, a knowledge & community focused charity, were posting to celebrate cultural and religious holidays.
We believe that the Social Web has the potential to be the most diverse space on the entire web. But to get there, we have to start simple.
We aren't experts. We're learning each time we post (and we hope you are too). Our goal is to provide the very first stepping stones to that, diverse, Social Web we dream of.

Are you using Mastodon on a computer? If so, you might want to try out Mastodon's "Advanced Web Interface". It has a multicolumn layout similar to TweetDeck, and is built into all Mastodon servers:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mastodons-tweetdeck-style-advanced-web-interface
This guide tells you how to activate and use it, as well as answers to lots of common questions about it.
Some people find multicolumn mode essential, while others find it overwhelming. You can use whichever interface you prefer 🙂

RE: https://veganism.social/@Geri/116537676967800066
Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.
They deleted two of Geri’s posts.
Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.
Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

Rappel pour les nouveaux arrivants sur Mastodon: merci de mettre un avatar sur votre profil, de remplir votre bio et de rédiger une petite présentation en un post (ici on appelle ça un pouet) avec le hashtag introduction ou introduction.fr. C'est une bonne nouvelle de vous voir ici mais il faut aussi se conformer aux usages. On ne vous demande pas votre dossier médical, juste quelques infos: domaine d'activité, passions, hobbies, etc. Merci 🙏
Speaking about #decentralization and Mastodon, does Mastodon official client onboarding flow still promote the "mastodon.social" or other single server as default option instead of rotating/randomizing across the list of known servers with option to type server manually? Without this #Mastodon will have to "block Missisipi" too eventually.
Yes, I referring to that decision of #Bluesky to block access to bluesky web UI from IP addresses in Missisipi US state due age-check laws adopted there.

🚀1 year since we left #X / #Twitter
Our move to #Mastodon wasn't just a platform switch. It was a leap into #OpenScience in action.
We found a chance to align our communication w/ our values: transparent, meaningful, dialogue-driven.
