general guidance for my twitter friends migrating over from one hellsite to another:
- censoring isn’t mandatory because the algorithm here isn’t the same at all. if you want to because you like it, go ahead, but unless your posts are tagged (in the tags at the end of a post), they’re not really going to get suggested.
- engagement is VITAL here. if you want your post (or your mutual’s post) to get boosted, reblogging is key, and be sure to add tags.
- as it stands, nsfw fics are fine but nsfw art usually is not. this still seems to be pretty unclear, but if you were here before the p_rn ban and haven’t been back, it’s not as wild wild west as it used to be.
- on the subject of fics/long posts: please please PLEASE remember to add cuts to your posts. (for reference, this is the “keep reading” function) long posts on the tl are generally frowned upon. if it’s over 1000, leave a good snippet (like the summaries on ao3) and then cut it. i’m not sure how to do this on mobile, but on the desktop app, you’ll see a bar with an ellipsis in it: you can click it to insert said cut, then drag it freely around your post.
- do you like html? great! you can highly customise your profile a là myspace era if you so choose, otherwise, the default customisation is also very pretty. you can even add a bunch of photos in between texts on any post (mobile posts included) and it’s very aesthetically pleasing.
- TWs and CWs generally should be tagged at the top of your post AND ALSO IN THE TAGS. you’ll generally see “#tw:____” in the tags of posts for common TWs. please be mindful.
- people here are really kind and generally nice. just don’t be a dick.
- *eta: joining writer community blogs will also help get more eyes on your fics and engagement with your content, so keep that in mind.
and with that, that’s all i really have to say. have fun! or don’t! welcome back to hell!
