@meganmariehart TBH I never read the trending feed, but that's probably just me

@meganmariehart maybe you should try #phanpy https://phanpy.social/ It's a Mastodon client, not a new instance.

@meganmariehart well, I think our experiments are biased; or at least should show a far upper limit of reach via boosts.

Hey #fediverse ! (See?) Is there a tool that would help find popular hashtags? This should help newcomers, specially institutions like theaters, find ways to reach more people here!

@meganmariehart

@meganmariehart But hashtags are the best way to reach people. You mention a theater. They should post with hashtags of their region of influence (city, province, etc), the type of œvre (opera, music, etc) and maybe a couple more. They should sniff around until they find the right ones. I wish there were tools for that, hmmm...

@meganmariehart I once run an experiment similar to yours. I asked people to boost a toot with a URL to a webserver I controlled, no hashtags either. It got <3k boosts. Yours will probably get similar numbers. At that point, IIRC, the Fedi (or was it just Mastodon?) was ~2M accounts, so it reached ~15% of the net. I wrote abut it here:

@meganmariehart Edit: oh, my instance only had your first toot. The other 6 appeared only once I replied here. Kinda ignore.

Original: could you edit this toot when you're done? I'm interested, but if I bookmark it, it'll just go into the how-come-it-has-not-toppled-yet pile of to-reads :-G

@bruces that's why we use "when cows will fly"

@badnetmask is there a language that has an ORM in their std lib?

@adam @evan and of course Alice and Bob, right? (what if the following is not reciprocal

@evan I think both is a problem because if we keep going, the conversation will be among a very different public each time anyone answers. Same for "Bob's".

I put "something else", but I wish I put "Alice's".

@d_yellowlees some people are sent by their employers, so they probably have an (implicit?) obligation to do that.

@mkj @dashdsrdash @afewbugs and it sounds like since the calendar app already handles this, maybe adding it to the task app would mean "just" sharing the code?
