Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍 mastodon

On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.

Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.

If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.

You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.

Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.

Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨

@Em0nM4stodon Good points! I follow folks who are not from the US but post in English. Some post in German and I use the translate feature. My experience is richer from seeing their perspectives

@lrt_writes
This is the way πŸ‘

Side note: Mona App has the translation feature setup with just a swipe left on post, It's wonderful! I use it all the time!

@Em0nM4stodon Is there a way to split someone feed by language? Like let's say I want to follow Alice who speak english and esperanto. Can I follow only post using the english language?

@Em0nM4stodon Yeah. I follow #Cambridge because I live there but I keep seeing posts about somewhere in the USA ...

@Em0nM4stodon

I admit that I don’t always do this, but my country is mentioned in my profile.
