Hashtags genuinely help discovery here

Mastodon is a federated network of independent servers. Etiquette carries more weight here than reach mechanics: use alt text, use content warnings, and do not treat it as a broadcast channel.

How to win on Mastodon

  1. 01

    Use content warnings for sensitive topics

    A content warning is a courtesy, not a downgrade. It keeps your post welcome in more timelines.

  2. 02

    Use two or three real hashtags

    Unlike most networks, well-chosen hashtags materially improve discovery on Mastodon.

  3. 03

    Engage with replies properly

    Boosts and replies matter more than follower count. A conversational account grows fastest.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming one server speaks for the whole network.
  • Auto-cross-posting identical marketing copy from X.
  • Posting images without alt text.

Mastodon on Sosial: FAQ

Which Mastodon server should I use?

Any server works. Sosial connects to the instance you sign in from. Pick one that matches your topic.

Why is my limit different from someone else's?

Mastodon servers can raise the 500-character default. The composer uses your instance's real limit where available.

Does Sosial support Mastodon threads?

Yes, Mastodon is one of the chain-capable channels.
