SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you draft Mastodon and Fediverse posts that fit the platform’s strictly chronological mechanics, hashtag-based discovery, and accessibility-focused norms (content warnings and alt text), so your writing is findable and appropriately paced for the community.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hashtag-first reach guidance: choose the right tags (1–3, CamelCase conventions for multi-word tags) so your posts show up in Home timelines for hashtag followers rather than relying on an algorithm.
  • CW (content warning) and alt-text conventions: format CW labels correctly for expand/click behavior and write functional alt text that avoids accessibility failures that can trigger blocks.
  • Boost-oriented publishing strategy: distinguish favorite vs boost, explain why boosting is the real amplification mechanism, and align post goals accordingly.
  • Instance-aware writing & etiquette: choose appropriate CW intensity, character-limit expectations, and thread/reply patterns based on typical local culture and post shape.

Quick Start

Use social-mastodon to draft a Mastodon post for your chosen instance, with optional CW and alt text, that includes 1–3 relevant hashtags and follows boost-oriented etiquette.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write Mastodon posts that fit chronological timelines and get discovered?

To write Mastodon posts for chronological timelines, use 1–3 relevant CamelCase hashtags for discovery, apply content warnings appropriately, and include functional alt text to meet Fediverse accessibility norms and avoid blocks.

What is the correct way to format content warnings and alt text for Fediverse posts?

Correct Fediverse content warnings require formatting labels for expand/click behavior, while functional alt text must accurately describe images to avoid accessibility failures that can trigger instance blocks.

How do I use hashtags for reach on ActivityPub-compatible servers like Pleroma and Firefish?

Use 1–3 relevant CamelCase hashtags per post to reach users on ActivityPub-compatible servers like Pleroma and Firefish, relying on hashtag following rather than algorithmic ranking for discovery.

Does Mastodon etiquette require boosting instead of favoriting posts?

Mastodon etiquette favors boosting over favoriting because boosting is the real amplification mechanism that shares posts across the Fediverse, whereas favoriting is a private signal that does not boost visibility.

Can I draft threads and replies for different Mastodon instance cultures?

You can draft threads and replies for different Mastodon instance cultures by adjusting content warning intensity, respecting character-limit expectations, and following typical local reply patterns for that community.
