If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!
