If you want people's advice about any topic, type your question and tag it with #AskFedi, which is kind of like a bat signal for advice on the Fediverse 🦇

If you want a post to be shared, try adding "Boosts appreciated!". Some servers may even have an emoji for this such as :boost_ok:

By the way, remember that if you want your post shared publicly you have to give it a Public or Unlisted visibility setting. (More info about post visibility settings here: https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/)

#Fediverse
p.s. To clarify, the idea of "boosts appreciated" is if you have a post that you particularly want or need people to share.

So, for example, if you're trying to get advice on something really important, you might add "Boosts appreciated" at the end.

It's not meant to be used for shallow attention seeking.
