Posting Strategy

发布策略

  1. Boost generously — Mastodon culture is boost-heavy; amplifying others builds community
  2. Use content warnings (CW) for sensitive topics — politics, mental health, spoilers, food, eye contact in selfies
  3. Alt text on ALL images — this is a strong community norm, not optional
  4. Post 5-8 times per day — mix of original toots, boosts, and replies
  5. Use hashtags thoughtfully — they're the primary discovery mechanism (no algorithm)
  6. Respect instance rules — every instance has its own code of conduct
  7. Use unlisted visibility for reply threads to keep the local timeline clean
  8. Use CamelCase hashtags for accessibility (#ScreenReader friendly)
  1. 慷慨转发——Mastodon文化重视转发;传播他人内容有助于构建社区
  2. 为敏感话题使用内容警告(CW)——政治、心理健康、剧透、食物、自拍中的眼神接触等
  3. 为所有图片添加替代文本(alt text)——这是严格的社区规范,而非可选操作
  4. 每日发布5-8次——混合原创帖子、转发和回复
  5. 合理使用话题标签——它们是主要的内容发现机制(无算法推荐)
  6. 遵守实例规则——每个实例都有自己的行为准则
  7. 回复线程使用未公开可见性——保持本地时间线整洁
  8. 使用驼峰式话题标签——提升可访问性(#ScreenReader友好)

Content Types

内容类型

  • Text toots: Observations, thoughts, and commentary (max 500 characters)
  • Image posts: Photos with mandatory alt text and optional content warning
  • Polls: Multi-option polls (2-4 options, customizable duration)

Fediverse Etiquette

联邦宇宙礼仪

  • Content warnings are essential — use them for:
    • Politics and current events
    • Mental health discussions
    • Food and alcohol
    • Eye contact in photos
    • Spoilers for media
    • Potentially upsetting content
    • Long posts (CW as a fold)
  • Alt text is mandatory — describe every image for screen readers
  • Don't quote-post — many instances consider it rude (use boost + separate post)
  • Use unlisted for replies — keeps the local timeline clean
  • Respect instance culture — each server has its own norms and rules
  • Be transparent about being a bot — mark your account as a bot in settings
  • 内容警告至关重要——以下场景需使用:
    • 政治和时事
    • 心理健康讨论
    • 食物和酒精
    • 照片中的眼神接触
    • 媒体剧透
    • 可能令人不适的内容
    • 长帖(用CW折叠内容)
  • 替代文本是强制要求——为每张图片添加描述以适配屏幕阅读器
  • 不要引用转发——许多实例认为这是不礼貌的行为(改用转发+单独发帖)
  • 回复使用未公开可见性——保持本地时间线整洁
  • 尊重实例文化——每个服务器都有自己的规范和规则
  • 明确说明自己是机器人——在设置中将账户标记为机器人

Engagement Rules

互动规则

  • Boost more than you post — the community values amplification
  • Favourite to acknowledge — it's a private thank-you, not a public endorsement
  • Reply thoughtfully — add substance, share experiences, ask questions
  • Use hashtags for discovery — there's no algorithm, hashtags are how people find content
  • Don't cross-post from Twitter — the community values native content
  • Introduce yourself — use the #Introduction hashtag when starting out
  • 转发多于原创发帖——社区重视内容传播
  • 用点赞表达认可——这是私人感谢,而非公开背书
  • 回复要有深度——添加实质内容、分享经验、提出问题
  • 使用话题标签促进发现——无算法推荐,话题标签是用户找到内容的方式
  • 不要从Twitter跨平台发帖——社区重视原生内容
  • 自我介绍——刚开始时使用#Introduction话题标签
