Something many bands, clubs & promoters understand wrong about the Fediverse:⁣
There is no algorithm!

So here are some tips which make your Fediverse life hopefully a little bit more successful.

If you post a concert 2 weeks before the event, people will only see it around the time you post it.
- On Mastodon and where you can quote: make your event post quotable and quote your own event regua
- use hashtags. Not only in the original post, but also in the quote post. Some people follow them, some hashtags are auto-reposted like #punk
- use pictures for a post. If you want that Pixelfed user see your post too, an image is needed.

- On Pixelfed and others where you can't quote: repost your event regularly. Maybe make more than one post with different images

- If you are playing with other bands, have a look if they are already in the Fediverse. If yes, link them in your post.
Search for it. Or the club you play.... A great starting point here is https://fedi.punk.guide - @FediPunkGuide

- is your account on the for you best instance? If you are a metal band, maybe think about switching to https://metalhead.club - I'm pretty sure @thomas will welcome you with open arms
If you are in a punk band, maybe think about joining https://punk.photos (Pixelfed) or https://punkstodon.de (Mastodon).
But there are a lot more punk instances. We list some of them on https://punx.social please have a look.
If your club is in Berlin, maybe https://berlin.social is a good place? And Cologne clubs will make find a lot of locals at https://social.cologne and so on. The easiest way to find it, is searching for it on https://fedidb.com
You can always switch instances and take all your followers with you.

Follow accounts like @FediTips to get great tips about the Fediverse. When you used FB, Twitter or Insta the first time, you also had to get used to it.

Feel free to add more tipps to this post...

Mastodon does have a built-in scheduled posts system, but you have to access it through a third party app. More info at https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon/
