This will help you to understand the expectations we have for each other and how moderation happens. Click here for more info.

Adding a profile picture, a bio, and a header image helps people understand who you are and if they want to follow you. Find out more on the Mastodon.org website.

Mastodon isn’t one site but many connected servers (instances). You’ll see three timelines:

• Home Timeline – where you’ll find the people you follow.
• In Live Feeds you’ll find This Server which includes everyone on Apobangpo.Space who is posting publicly
• You’ll also find All which is the federated timeline that includes posts from other connected servers.

We don’t have algorithmic feeds building the timeline on Mastodon. Rather, you need to follow people and hashtags to fill your timeline with interesting content and people to interact with.

• To discover people, check out the Apobangpo Profiles Directory and the KPop Starter Pack.
• Some good hashtags to get started with are: #FediArmy, #KPop, #KPopMonday, #KHipHop and #KRnB
• You should also follow hashtags relating to your favourite artists – for example #Aespa, #BTS, #BTSArmy, #Exo, #NCT, #Nmixx, #Seventeen, #Shinee, #StrayKids, #TomorrowXTogether, #Twice, #WayV, #XLove, etc.

For example, where you are in the world, your favourite groups/artists and biases. This helps potential followers get to know you.

Tag your Intro Post with the tag #PurpleIntroPost and #IntroPost so we can find it.

Find out more about the terminology you’ll encounter in the Fediverse via the Apobangpo Glossary.

While you can use Mastodon through your web browser, many users find that dedicated apps often provide a better experience, as they provide additional features like multiple account support, better notifications, and better interfaces.

Check out our How to choose a Mastodon App Guide for more info.

Add relevant hashtags to your posts so people can find content they’re interested in. Search is limited, so Hashtags are essential for conversation and discovery. Find out more about #Hashtags via Fedi.Tips.

There are a number of musical hashtag games each week that give you the opportunity to share your favourites, discover new music and meet other members of the musical community in the Fediverse. Our favourites include:

• #KPopMonday
• #MondayRandom10
• #TuneTuesday
• #MusicWomenWednesday
• #ThursdayFiveList
• #JukeboxFridayNight

The Mastodon community cares about accessibility. Add image descriptions (alt text) to your images so screen reader users can enjoy your posts. Find out more on Fedi.Tips.

Mastodon culture emphasizes content warnings for sensitive topics, spoilers, politics, or even just long posts. Click the “CW” button when composing to add a warning that hides your post behind a click-through. Find out more on the Mastodon.org website.

Find quick answers to common questions, specific to Apobangpo sites via our Apobangpo FAQs page.
