This is more about getting people followers than helping them find accounts to follow.

 

A little procedure I follow to help noobs get seen by others. I used to do what most people do and boost their # introduction posts, but I think most people want to see more natural engagement and sort of glaze their eyes over when they see the intro tag, so here's what I do:

  1. Create a list called "noobs," hidden from home timeline.
  2. Go to # introduction
  3. Follow every poster with fewer than say 25 followers and add them to "noobs" 
  4. Periodically browse "noobs" for interesting* toots, boost them
  5. Periodically unfollow accounts in "noobs" (do not remove from list! That puts them in your main stable of follows!)
  6. Repeat

I don't consider it spam-following, because I'm actually giving these accounts a good deal of attention and a good shot at being seen by a few hundred more people. Often I'll genuinely like an account and remove them from the list instead of unfollowing them. I haven't really tested this method's effectiveness, but I thought I'd put it here for others to consider.

*I have a fairly eclectic profile, so I'll boost just about anything that's not asinine.

I can't imagine what would make countries like Russia and China think they might someday have to team up against the US.

"Deliver aid"

Not really. Only Americans are so dense as to require several months to absorb something like that.

Hell, CNN and MSNBC should have a disclaimer.

Good. Because they're not.

I thought Threads was for people who thought Mastodon was too complicated. What's all this "turn on sharing" mess?

Ok, then what is she going to do about the shitty disloyal rube she just hired to advise her on matters of national importance?
