Fantastic thread! Sorry I'm behind today. Was a rough neuro morning, which I know you understand!

I hope it eases up!

I'm feeling in myself again and trying to get a few posts set up and get a few work hours in!

#2 Likes on Bluesky are great, but they have limited effect.

Reposts, quote posts, and comments have MUCH larger effects on a post's visibility.

Even commenting "I like this!" on your friend's TTRPG #Kickstarter announcement helps share the post with new viewers.

#3 Hype up the TTRPG creators you enjoy! Pick something they've made and talk about it on #Bluesky or make a #YouTube short about it. Did you use their content in a game? Talk about it online!

#4 Use alt text on your images. Many TTRPG users rely on alt text, and others won't share images that lack it.

Bluesky can even prompt you to remember! Go to Settings -> Accessibility

#5 Don't forget your YouTube friends! There's a reason every YouTuber says "Like & Subscribe!" -- YouTube uses Likes to fuel it's algorithm. A video with a lot of Likes will get recommended to other viewers.

YouTubers unlock new features for their channel at subscriber breakpoints like 500 and 1000

#6 Many #TTRPG creators offer a free tier on their Patreon. If you enjoy someone's content, sign up for that free tier even if you can't financially support them yet. It shows your support for their work and you often get access to bonus goodies.
