if you copy and paste the link of the post into your mastodon search bar, you can boost and comment on the post.👍

@BeAware Ah I didn’t know that. Do you know if there’s any scripts or docker apps I can use to automate boosting my own accounts on other fediverse apps? If that doesn’t break etiquette of course.

BeAware reshared this.

Tbh, I have no idea😬

I'll boost this and maybe you'll get some answers, but I don't do that so I don't really have a clue.

@BeAware Cheers man. In my defence, I was hoping to just use my mastodon account for pixelfed as well, but when I signed up, I didn’t work how I wanted so had to run a RSS app to do it for me. Boosting would be more elegant, but I couldn’t find anything I could put on my docker machine. Ha

@BeAware What’s that sorry. I don’t think I can see what you’re pointing at.
in reply to Kyle Gaywood

I'm adding hashtags to this thread so it's easier to find. I pointed at your post so that people who see the hashtags aren't confused why there's a post with only hashtags.
in reply to BeAware

@BeAware Ah of course. I’ve always been so bad with hashtags. It’s a skill I gotta learn to make the most out of the fediverse.

@BeAware I just realised @gardiner_bryant might be a good person to ask. Do you know of anyway to automatically boost/share your own fediverse content to mastodon? Preferably using Docker?
in reply to Kyle Gaywood

@BeAware if you use your Mastodon account to follow your other accounts, they'll appear in your timeline and you can just like/share them manually. No need to automate it.

Also, make sure you're using lots of hashtags and follow ones you like. It's how discovery works on fedi

@gardiner_bryant @BeAware Sorry I mean to automatically share my own stuff from pixelfed or PeerTube to pass it on to my followers here. I’ve got a rss feed that “tweets” when I upload something to SoundCloud. I’m just wondering if there’s a better way.
in reply to Kyle Gaywood

@BeAware so anyone on the Fediverse can follow anyone else. If you use this account to follow your others, and reshare them here, your followers will see those posts.

And use hashtags to have your posts get discovered.

in reply to Gardiner Bryant

@gardiner_bryant maybe I'm missing something, but I think he wants to automate that exact process.

Doing it manually would be....not automating it.🤷‍♂️

I don't think there's a way to automate it, though.
