This is a first draft of a general "social media ops" outline.

CC #647.

CC @adamgreig, @thejpster, @mygnu, I could use a hand with "how to mastodon"!


### For Mastodon

I'd say Mastodon is much more 'live' in a way that its purely time based, if you share or boost (retoot) something it is broadcasted at that time. if anyone missed it or scroll passed it it won't show up in their feed unless they explicitly look back on it. No of people liking a post has no effect on the timeline.

For Tagging you can create a column (web app) that will show toots with your selected tags, i.e. #rustembedded, that can be kept an eye on separately and boosted as required.
asking folks to mention @rustembedded would also be good.

(either of you) please feel free to suggest language for this section - whatever makes sense for Mastodon!

Here is one attempt

On Mastodon, we ask that people "@ mention" the rustembedded account, e.g. include "@[email protected]" in a toot.

On Mastodon we can follow #rustembedded tag directly in a column that will update with all tagged local (to hachyderm.io) toots and the instances it federates with.

Just wondering if we are waiting on something for this?

On mastodon hashtags are a very important tool. You should also specify what tag to use for Rust Embedded related posts. You can also specify that you will boost the posts with a specific tag for example #embeddedrustboost. You can describe what the rules are either in your profile or as a pinned post. (on mastodon you can have more than one pinned post)

I would suggest that a bsky account is also added to the official Rust Embedded account list. If that is done I would suggest creating "starter packs" with accounts that are recommended to follow for additional Rust Embedded related content. Additionally I would also create dedicated feed of Rust Embedded content. Keep also in mind that the AT protocol allows for domain based nicknames. So if there is a Rust Embedded specific domain I would highly recommend linking that to the bsky account.
