You know what I miss? Real humans sharing cool stuff they admire with other humans, not just allowing the feed to hopefully serve it up to you.
I'm thinking about a weekly "cool thing I liked" post. Think song, video, book, article, art, etc.
Is there a Mastodon hashtag for this? Still finding my way in this subculture.

@krinslife I don't know of any hashtags that would generally do this, but I will say that the quality of the people you follow matters a lot more here.
I've found that following creators means they're likely to boost stuff from other creators, so that's one thing...
Also the opposite side of the algorithm is filtering, and so it's extra important to unfollow or mute people who don't add value to your timeline.
You've got me curious though, surely someone has made such a hashtag...

@krinslife - you could follow hashtags for themed weekly sharing, like # FensterFreitag , # MeerMittwoch, my personal favorite # MardiPatisserie. No specific day, still awesome: bloomscrolling, lichensubscribe, birdcallout.
If you like KPop, they have themed sharing each week # kpopmonday. There was Video Game music Wednesday but that's cooled off.
Me, I follow a ton of people to get neat stuff.

@ipsquiggle @krinslife I think the #joinin hashtag might be what you're looking for?

@ipsquiggle thanks for the response, these are good bits of advice, and I'm adopting a lot of it already (vive la internet culture circa 2000-2005!)
My thought behind a (single) hashtag is so maybe someone interesting will stumble on the idea and join me, or at least be able to filter for "don't need Krin's general life updates, but that stuff she shares once a week is valuable".
Side note from looking at your bio: I have sunk many, many hours into Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included. Thanks for your efforts on those delightful games, they're amongst my favourite of all time.

@NullNoMore Wonderful! Thank you for sharing all of these ideas. Especially as they're not in my native language, so I'll get exposed to things I'd otherwise miss.
So much to love about Tuesday cakes and pastries

@secretsloth @ipsquiggle
Maybe! Feels like a tag worth following irrespective of whether or fits this specific idea. Thanks for sharing. -

@krinslife Heh, I have a dream for the Fediverse, where hashtags work a bit like microcommunities (explicitly, not accidentally) precisely to solve this idea of "I want the version of ipsquiggle that makes games to be visible through this hashtag, for your following pleasure". I try and remember to tag my posts, but it doesn't actually offer the right affordance for me to reliably remember, nor for someone else to selectively engage it. Ah well..

@krinslife Awesome, I always love finding someone who has actually played them haha!

@ipsquiggle is this the time for "Pobodies Nerfect"? All we can do is try. Perfect consistency is for robots, which rolls us back to the beginning idea of this conversation

Thanks for sharing.@krinslife @ipsquiggle I know there are others but my brain isn't working, @vlrny do you know which ones I'm forgetting? The hashtags for sharing something cool you just found and want to share? Besides joinin? I know I've come across some.

@krinslife Create such a hashtag and make it flourish. I would follow and tag things as appropriate. Maybe #OneCoolThing

@krinslife 100% agree; I do tag when I remember (and thank goodness that most mastodon clients hide bottom-tags, so you can do it "guilt-free!") and I try to follow good people and boost healthy posts and (..mostly...) make healthy posts... Being the change I want to see etc. in this more human-powered social network

@ArtseaGardener @krinslife
Came here to also recommend #ThreeGoodThings
Many people post daily, many people post often, very many people post that they find reading others’ posts as uplifting as noting their own good things. All are welcome. -

@VisualStuart
I think we have a winner, let's do it.Following a chat with a colleague I'm going to also use #krinsrecs as in Recommendations by Krin, for my specific contribution. We both agreed that a wider option was needed so others could also embrace it and I returned to find this idea.

@krinslife you know about the hashtag #3goodthings ? People post cool things they experienced on any given day, also good things with other people.
