@meganmariehart I'm a novelist. I enjoy Mastodon as a water cooler experience with people in my various communities, with hastags being useful. Not interested in trying to flog my books here, or seeing any others who do so.
@DavidBridger I like that! Do you have readers who interact with you on Mastodon? I’m not trying to sell anything either. I see my posts about upcoming performances as public announcements and try to make them informative: what, when, where, who. But then again, I enjoy the luxury of not having to sell tickets. I get the same fee whether 50 or 5000 people come. (Although I prefer the latter!

@metalbrawler I wanted to test the potential reach of a post without hashtags, basically just for the sake of discussion. My home theater has a Mastodon account since 2022 but never posted anything! Perhaps I can convince them to get active if I can show them a posts potential, and maybe other theaters and artists will join. Fingers crossed!
Thank you!@meganmariehart @metalbrawler The purpose of hashtags is to tag posts on a specific topic so that someone can find them—outside of the timeline, of course. I use both, depending on what I want to see.

@meganmariehart When running an instance, it’s possible to retrieve the number of times or number of users that have viewed the post directly on that instance.
But you don’t see the number of views on the other instances the post has reached.
@ahltorp Thank you!!

@meganmariehart All good!
I like that you're thinking about these matters and I appreciate your presence here. Nice insights, and good advertising (though I'm still more likely to end up in the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, even though it's a longer distance. Old habits etc etc)@patrick I worked in Wiesbaden, but have not yet made my house debut there. I stepped in as Elsa for Lohengrin rehearsals and didn’t think to negotiate getting a performance as well. I should have, that was a rookie mistake. It’s a beautiful house!

)@meganmariehart I do have some readers who talk with me here, although those who remained on Facebook when I left there were a far bigger group. I regretted my loss of contact with them (apart from those who've become my friends over the years so we've kept in touch) but I couldn't stay on that corrupted platform. I have big respect for your profession.
