I'm definitely seeing new followers. Hi! Thanks for coming here. I know it's fiddly but I think it's worth it.

Here's the most important tip I can give you:

\🥳/ HASHTAGS \🥳/

Like old Twitter, this place lives on hashtags. Here's how to use them:

1) Put tags on EVERYTHING you don't want hidden.

1A) Seriously. Everything. Keep them appropriate! But.

2) FOLLOW hashtags. That's a thing you can do here. You can follow a hashtag like you can follow a person. Type in the search box, select it, then click follow.

3) Whenever you see someone interesting on that hashtag? Follow them. Follow people WITH ABANDON. Unfollow if it doesn't work out, that's okay here!

That's it. Welcome!

RELEASE: Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP versions 1.4.4.

It's a minor update: a correction to Seattle's map in the Greater Northshore printed area, removal of the construction warning in Bothell, and a MEGAMAP-only update to Montlake at SR-520.

I was really hoping that the Montlake Lid bike/ped bridge over 520 would be open before dropping this. But it's not, and isn't going to be open before or immediately after the election, so I've updated what I can to reflect what _is_ open.

Previous permalinks continue to work. If you like these maps, maybe hit my Patreon.

Hey, #Mastodon users and #MastoAdmin thinking about Threads!

1: Users:

A: You can limit who can send you DMs/PMs! You can also limit notifications!

B: You can also block a site entirely for yourself.

See attached pics for how.

2: Instance administrators:

If you don't want to block threads.net entirely, consider these options for your userbase's safety:

A: Between "Full federation" and "Suspend" there is LIMIT, which hides content from an instance unless a user either follows the user posting it, or searches for it.

B: There is also "Reject media," which means you never cache a remote site's attachments. This de facto makes all such content sensitive ("unavailable"), requiring an additional click to view.

Users can limit notifications and DMs; this shows the Preferences/Notifications screen in the desktop web view, with an arrow pointing at the "Other notifications settings" section at the bottom. The checkbox options given are "Block notifications from non-followers," "Block notifications from people you don't follow," and "Block direct messages from people you don't follow."

# orderedItems[].attachment[].name
Content policies on our threads.net domain block showing what "Limit" and "Reject media" look like in the UI. Individual users can still follow and talk with users from threads.net, but all threads.net content will be hidden from anyone not choosing specifically to follow those same users.
