Social Mastodon

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Content · Sub-category: content-misc

Ground-truth 2026 playbook for writing posts, replies, and threads on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. Covers the strictly chronological timelines (no algorithm), hashtags as the sole discovery mechanism, the content-warning (CW) conventions, alt-text as a cultural norm, boost vs favorite semantics, instance selection, the local vs federated timeline, and why X/Bluesky tactics don't transfer. Activate when drafting for Mastodon or Fediverse-compatible servers (Pleroma, Akkoma, GoToSocial, Firefish, etc.).
