Monitoring Protest Hashtags With VibesMasto

Can't go to the protests today but you still want to know what's going on? Check out this tool I made to monitor hashtags at the larger Mastodon instances and aggregate them into a browser tab that refreshes automatically. I set it up because I have a tiny instance and our news flow isn't great. You can use it too! You don't have to have a API key or even a Mastodon account.

There is no algorithm - your timeline is the #hashtags you follow, the people you follow, and the posts they boost. That means the quality of your feed is largely up to you. Follow interesting people and hashtags, and just as importantly unfollow/block early and often, and don't be shy about boosting in turn posts that are good.

Rügen

The white chalk cliffs on the edge of Jasmund Nationalpark on Rügen, Germany's largest island, are a sight to behold. Especially during a beautiful sunrise like this. It was nothing short of mesmerising to be a witness of this moment. On my own, no less. If you haven't visited this gem in the Baltic sea yet, you really should.

When you announce new music you have created, which hashtags should you use to help people find it?

I'm drafting an initial proposal on the.socialmusic.network/t/hash -- feedback welcome!

The Social Music Network · Hashtag coordination across the FediverseOk, so thinking about a toot on social media when announcing a new song/album. Which tag categories could it cover? Required tags Meaning, is there a good reason not to use these? [artist] - Yes, a tag for you. They are free and they can connect all the toots about you, posted by yourselves, fans, media… #mymusic - identifies the music created by the poster. #newmusic - identifies new releases. [language] - the language used in the lyrics - or specify whether it’s instrumental. [basic genre] ...

Pluviophile (n) A lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.

I've been playing around with digital art and image editing for a while. Here are three promotional slides for one of my favorite hashtag events on social media. It's an hour of music curated each week by various participants, in the form of a YouTube playlist, for us to enjoy, riff on, and in some cases, discover something new.

*I don't normally do promos but my inner pluviophile loves these.

Promotional image for the hashtag game "I Like to Watch". It features a photo of an open road shot thru a car windshield. Trees appear on the left. A grass field on the right. The sky is overcast. Raindrops collect on the windshield. The text reads, "PLUVIOPHILE noun. a person who enjoys rain and rainy days, and who is fascinated by the sights, sounds, etc., of rain." "April Showers! Saturday April 12 - 10pm ET. #ILikeToWatch On Mastodon"

Here's an explainer why #groups (boost bots) are preferable to #hashtags for organizing a #group of people on #mastodon (or the #fediverse in general):

(in English and German; based on experience from the hangman-game group at @galgodon)

BTW: I've mentioned "a.gup.pe" (@guppegroups) in the text. Is anyone aware of alternatives that should be added?
