Is there an easy way to find who you follow on IG on Twitter?
Yes, I could go through every account I follow on Instagram and see if their name matches an account on Twitter. But is there an integration that will do something like this for me? [more inside]
Suggestions wanted for promoting a research journal on LinkedIn
I'm at a bit of a loss. I need to promote an industry' association's research journal on social media and increase the journal's followers from essentially zero to some positive number (double digits would be great, triple digits would be fabulous). Due to complicating factors, I'm unsure of the best approach. [more inside]

Seeking Instagram recommendations for life in rural Korea or Japan
I'm looking for Instagram* accounts that feature glimpses of life in either rural South Korea or Japan. Relevant hashtags would be helpful as well.
*Instagram is preferred but Twitter would be ok as well, but really looking for visuals.

Website to compile/display favorite tweets, pins, YouTube vids, etc.?
I'd like to compile a bunch of media from different websites - tweets, YouTube vids, Pinterest pics, Instagram posts - and display my "collection" so I can show it to others. Like, "here's all this cool stuff I found from across the web on ". Does something like this exist, where I could basically embed and display them in an easy way?
I can't believe I'm going to ask a Clubhouse invite question.
I have a friend who is repeatedly trying to send me an invite for Clubhouse. I have an iPhone. I never receive an invitation text via any channel when she tries to invite me. I am based in Indonesia with a Hong Kong phone number. I have searched online as to whether there is an international restriction, but have not gotten any answers. Any ideas? Anyone experienced something similar?
Reading alt text within Tweetdeck scheduled tweets?
Previously, I was put in charge of a twitter feed for work, scheduling tweets in advance using Tweetdeck. My tweets are required to include images. I add alt text to images for tweets I schedule, but is there a way for me to check whether images in upcoming tweets scheduled by others actually include alt text? [more inside]
What's the best of the alt-social-media?
There's Mastodon, Scuttlebutt, Briar, and various others that seem like they might be up-and-coming. Have you tried some of them? What's your impression? [more inside]
social media platform question

Can I block this person on FB?
My mom's next door neighbor is snooping on my FB but doesn't have a profile I can block. [more inside]
How do I reorganize this social media database for work?
Are there any good out-of-the-box solutions (ideally web apps) that will help me organize our backlog of Instagram content? Not looking for a scheduling app like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck—more like a fusion of Dropbox/Google Sheets/Todoist—or at least that's how I'm imagining it. [more inside]
Twitter tutors?
I was just put in charge of tweeting for my office (part of a larger library/archive). I got the official rules & regs from the boss, but I don't know much about etiquette, best practices, etc., and I don't use or enjoy Twitter much in my personal life. Can you recommend readings, tutorials, articles, etc., and/or give your own thoughts and advice on professional tweeting? [more inside]
What are you Tik Tok-ing right now?
My daughter is into "cottagecore" tik tok. I'm learning how to repair drywall. What useful or fascinating niches or subcultures have you discovered on Tik Tok?
How far does the First Amendment go?
I know a person who has schizophrenic tendencies and also a number of restraining orders/stalking charges. He has been prohibited by court order from making any mention of the persons who have requested these orders on social media or his website. I'm curious about the legal basis for this. While I sympathize with the victims, I wonder about the implications for the first amendment. Obviously, YANHL.
Where and how should my Thai friend promote her silk business online?
I’m asking on behalf of a friend, based in Bangkok. She sells beautiful handwoven silk and cotton cloth in the Mudmee style, sourced from artisans in Isan, Northeast Thailand. Currently she mainly sells locally, but would like to attract more international custom. I would love to hear your suggestions for where she should be selling and any tips for marketing her business online. [more inside]
Best social media manager 2020 edition
I'm looking for social media schedulers that will allow me to schedule tweets and Instagram posts WITH TAGGING. Free is great but would pay for the right app. Bonus points for something where authentication for Instagram actually works.
Buffer, TweetDeck , and Hootsuite don’t seem to have tagging available in the free versions, and I cannot get Hootsuite to authenticate Instagram and actually post. What say you?
How to get a painful failed relationship off my mind?
I had a tumultuous relationship for several years with someone who was emotionally and verbally abusive, and in which I was dishonest and cheated. It’s over and I’m glad, but I still can’t stop thinking about it. [more inside]
Asking ex partner to unfriend me?
I’m sure I’m not the first person to go through this... I’m to the point where I need to ask my ex wife to unfriend me so she doesn’t have to be subject to seeing me be happy about a new relationship. Blocking seems shitty. Is there a script for this? Apologies if I worded anything wrong here. I’m trying to be kind.
Long-term Twitter Deactivation
If I want to deactivate Twitter for more than 30 days, would it work to (1) deactivate my account, (2) reactivate at day 20-something, and (3) immediately deactivate for another 30 days? And just keep doing this over and over again? [more inside]
in search of active, topic-focused online social places
Due to mental health I have to step away from the news and Twitter/Instagram/etc. (Even the grey and blue here are a bit angsty for my current state.) However because of lockdown I am socially deprived, and crave social places to "hang out." So I'm looking for topic focused forums, blogs, etc, that are fun and that rarely mention the election, weather disasters, riots, pandemics, etc. [more inside]
Social media time tracker
I want an app that will tell me how much time I've spent today on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I want it to sync across laptop and Android phone. I don't need annoying reminders or a general screentime tracker, nor to have a program block websites or lock my device to save me from myself. Just a time tracker for these specific sites/apps. Hope me?
Name this bookish video series!
I’m helping to spearhead a regular social media video series at my library where staff members will take turns videotaping short book talks (3-4 min tops) promoting a single fiction or nonfiction title of their choice. The audience will be adult patrons. We need a catchy name for the series! Any ideas? Book Buzz is already taken, but I like the alliteration and crispness of that name.
(I know this isn’t as much fun as naming new pets, but ...)

Guidelines for social media posts for activist group?
I lead an activist group. (The name is in my profile.) A twenty-something guy is interested in handling our social media, which has been nearly nil for about a year. For now, this would be Facebook, but possibly more later. He asked for guidelines, and I'm not sure what to tell him. Do you have any advice? He is already active on Facebook.
Respond as regular Facebook or Facebook Page?

Do we know why people use social media to harass celebrities?
As a person who doesn't use Twitter, IG, FB, etc., I'm sometimes out of the loop on social media trends. Two very minor "celebrities" (more like people who are known inside relatively small fan communities) I follow recently shared their own separate stories of dealing with anonymous social media accounts that seemingly only exist to mock and harass them.
Has there been any research into why people harass celebrities they will never meet over social media? [more inside]
Want to either have it out or tattle to their mom
Someone close to me is saying bizarre, inaccurate, hypocritical and frankly hateful things on social media attached to their real name and it's really distracting me and I find I can't stop thinking about it. I don't want to "start drama" but I also can't seem to let it go, I am a talker and that's the only way I can seem to get around things is getting them off my chest. But just talking to someone who doesn't care either way isn't helping. How are you all dealing with similar issues? [more inside]
Is image file name visible anywhere on social media?
Made an important update to my business social media accounts. I included an image to accompany the post. Just realized the file name has some verbiage that is supposed to be for internal use only. Is this visible anywhere, or can I chill out? [more inside]
Safe, moderated online chatrooms or social opportunities for young teens
My 13yo has been struggling socially at school this year and so didn't have a strong group of friends when this pandemic hit. He asked if he could sign up for Omegle last night and my husband was an emphatic NO! Are there better, safer options where he could chat with other kids near his age in a somewhat safe environment? Especially options that match kids based on their interests. [more inside]
Need a short message of good wishes
My library is thinking about doing a social media post next week to let our patrons know that we miss them, appreciate them, are thinking about them while we're all staying at home. The plan is to take a picture of 15-20 staff members, each one holding up a word or two on a piece of paper that, when put together, all spell out a message of hope/appreciation/inspiration. Normally I am not a great collector of inspirational quotes. Do you know of one that might work for such a thing?
How to market a novel? And, I mean, how to market a novel NOW?
My debut novel, a queer supernatural romantic comedy, is being published in July. Hurray! ... But. I was already feeling a bit at sea in terms of what I can do, as an author, to help get the word out. And now, with the festivals and conventions I'd been scheduled at cancelled, the bookstores closed, and my social media savvy mediocre at best, I'm even more at a loss. What should I be doing? What's the best approach? Can an author, as opposed to the publisher, actually move the needle much on sales at all?
who does twitter recommend to you?
Because of the gendering and racializing of expertise, I don't follow men who primarily retweet other men, even when I like their work as journalists, scientists, etc. And yet...
I've noticed that Twitter almost always recommends men and more often not, white-appearing men, in "You might like" and
"Relevant people."
People who use Twitter (while logged in), who does Twitter recommend to you? [more inside]
How to make an index of links for others to browse
I used to have a tumblr theme + plug in that created an index out of the post tags. I liked being able to index recipes and such, and liked that I could forward the whole site to others. I want to do this again, but can't find the theme, and the plug-in I was using is no longer. Alas. Any recommendations on how to do this?
Binders full of the best emojis 😄😊😃😉😍😘😚
What are your favorite emojis? And how do you use them? Are they used to represent emotional states that are not explicitly named otherwise, or other meanings you are conveying? [more inside]

Working out - gym habits and motivation by generation
I've noticed that the 20-somethings I know are way more into going to the gym (whether a chain or boutique gym) than my peers when I was 20-something (I'm late Gen X). I assume this is a shift in North American cultural norms, but I'm curious
a) what are some factors in this shift and why do people go to the gym regularly
b) if I am making a false generalization based on my particular circumstances... or if this is true in other countries as well. [more inside]
House rules for online friend support group?
I'm part of a small, private, closed group of online friends. We use a forum to communicate. It used to be a place where we just chat and share things, but for a while now many of us use it as a place for emotional support and advice. Rather than reinventing the wheel, where can I find a short, clear, simple list of guidelines for how to behave on the forum? [more inside]

Rec me some good RSS feeds
I'm looking for RSS feeds to read on long train rides to and from work - so the most important aspect is that they load full articles, not snippets. I wouldn't quite say "I'm open to any kind of content," but I have a broad range of interests, and over two hours every weekday morning and evening on trains and buses. [more inside]
Is 50 likes a lot? (I can't believe I'm asking this question)
So, I made a throw-away Twitter lurker account, but of course I couldn't help myself and started replying to tweets by blue check accounts from time to time -- mostly political stuff. Every so often I get upwards of 50 likes on a reply. Is this a lot, comparatively? Asking because I'll take any validation I can get at this point in my life!
Forum comments by ex employee
An ex-employee is making unhelpful, inaccurate and potentially damaging comments about the company they were just laid off from. What's some ways to approach this? [more inside]
Managing Instagram Followers
I would like to manage my Instagram followers; unfollow some accounts who are not following me, who appear to be bots, etc. There are apps on the market that will do this, but I am wary of giving them my account access, which presumably they need to run their analytics. Are there any apps out there (paid is fine) that are trustworthy? It appears a number of the top ones inflate “you are being blocked” numbers, which may indicate other unethical behaviors.

Would you send in your ID to Facebook to recover your account?
I would like to recover my old Facebook account that had connections with people from my childhood and school years. In order to recover it, they are asking me to send in a picture of a government issued ID to confirm my identity. Are there any risks in doing so? [more inside]
Only a genius can answer this question!
Is there a name for the phenomenon where a social media post presents a lightly challenging problem as a difficult brain teaser and dares you to try and be a "genius?" Is there any background information or studies I can read about why this is a thing and so seemingly pervasive? [more inside]
