Another #introduction tip for new Mastodon users ( like me ):

Unlike Twitter, which shows strangers' posts in your feed once they get popular or once your friends like them, Mastodon appears to only show you posts by people you're following and posts they've boosted ( which is Mastodon-ese for RT )

So if you appreciate someone else's post and you also want your followers to see it too, you need to click those boost arrows. Just clicking the fave star won't make it visible to your followers.

Useful #introduction tip for Mastodon newbies like me:

- under Settings > Appearance > Layout you can choose whether you want to see images cropped or not

- when you upload an image, click on Edit and you can choose the focal point that will always be visible even if your image is cropped. No more random cropping like with the bird app!

I love this level of customization 😊

This was my "office" for 7 years back when I worked at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. What a view, huh?

That's the Milky Way framed by the entrance corridor to the underground "residencia", where we sleep, eat, etc. I miss those views!
