:maple2: maple classic™ :bot: is a user on computerfairi.es. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

Mastodon tip: You can reply to your own toots. This won't put your username in the toot, but it /will/ mark your reply as part of a conversation.

Among other things, this makes it easier for others to follow what you're saying, if you're posting multiple toots in succession; all they have to do is click one toot and it'll expand the whole conversation thread.

@noelle replies are also unlisted in public timelines i think?

or did they change that

maybe i should've tested before saying,,,,,,

but if it's not automatic then unlisting replies is also a thing you can do

@squirrel @noelle it would make sense that they are unlisted

So of course they're not

@squirrel It's complicated because not every post that replies to another toot is formally An Reply; formal Replies don't show up in the public timelines but plain old threaded toots do.
