@thomaschristopherking notifications go only to boosts (not to faves) but yeah, proofreading is helpful.

A known conundrum is: do I fix the typo and inform everyone about it, or do I let the post keep going around with the typo, and have everyone see it

@thomaschristopherking yes! you can edit long after posting! It's so good for those of us prone to typos

In case it's useful, some additional info about the edits (please skip if you don't want to read about it now!):

- There will be a record of your edits (i.e. don't use "edit" to delete information you want to actually be gone)

- If you edit a post, Mastodon sends a notification to people that have "boosted" it. It's a safety feature in case, let's say, a bad actor changed the content of a post to something offensive. Most times, though, people uses it to correct information they found after posting.

@thomaschristopherking hi Thomas

Yes, introductions are customary and if you want it to be seen by more people, especially outside the social coop server, you can add to your initial post the hashtag #introduction.

You can also add hashtags relating to your interests (ex. #narrowboat).

welcome!
