@sfleetucker #Twexit newbie here - I don't want to be off-putting to the established CoSo community when I am boosting political posts, many that have no hashtags. But it's not possible to add them to a boost. Is it possible to add maybe a selection of pervasive hashtags for boosting and posting? I'm trying to remember to add them into my own posts (#CoSoCats for example). Thanks for an awesome community - you guys rock!
@catmomdo You can't fix other's posts, that's true.
You can remind them to add #politics to help others.
Boosting only re-shares them to your followers, it doesn't put them back on the main timeline. It's fine if you boost, but you may find you get fewer followers that way.
Responding to a toot, even if you don't ask them to add the hashtag, and tagging it yourself also works. And it has the advantage of you adding to the conversation without anyone who is filtering seeing that addition.
@sfleetucker Perfect, thanks for the tips!
