@starbreaker Right there with ya, Matthew! I've already shouted out to my author friends on FB and Twitter, too. They are fabulous retweeters or retooters (is that what they call it here?) 😂

@LynnLamb Try "boosters". :)

BTW, when I promote my own work I usually use Mastodon's CW feature. It was originally intended for use when posting NSFW material or stuff that could upset others (politics, mentions of abuse, etc), but but I use it so that people who don't care about my books can scroll past without getting the hard sell.

@starbreaker That sounds great. Where do I find it?

@LynnLamb On Mobile, look for something that says CW. It should be near the photo upload button and the per-toot privacy control.

On the web, there should be a checkbox for sensitive content.

@starbreaker There's a place to write a warning on the web. I just wrote "test."

@LynnLamb You found the CW field, then. Good job.

As long as you use it to clearly mark self-promotion posts, you should be less likely to get blocked or reported as a spammer. :)

@LynnLamb you're a mystery wrapped in an enigma? 😋

@balrogboogie I've been called worse. 😂

@writerSeth Thanks, Seth!
