I have 2 accounts - one on Pixelfed, one on a Mastodon instance. I shared my photos on the Pixelfed one. What's the best way for the bulk of my followers (who are on Mastodon) to see this post? Many who follow me there did so to see my photography originally.
1. Boost it from my Mastodon profile
2. Link to the post on a post from my Mastodon profile
3. Something else?

Thanks for your thoughts.

As long as you're posting four photos or fewer, it doesn't really matter which platform your followers are on.

It gets more complicated if you're posting five or more images per post as this is possible on Pixelfed but not Mastodon. If you do this on your Pixelfed account, your followers on Mastodon will only see the first four images.

Generally, if you have a specialised account it's best to encourage followers to follow it too, but it depends on individual tastes and habits too.

Maybe try both 1 and 2 to see which one looks most appealing on a Mastodon feed?

I have so far boosted, but some people disable viewing boosts, I think?

Some people will disable boosts for specific accounts, usually if that account boosts lots of stuff they aren't interested in but posting original posts they *are* interested in.

If you're boosting stuff your followers want to see, then they probably won't block your boosts.
