Something many bands, clubs & promoters understand wrong about the Fediverse:
There is no algorithm!
So here are some tips which make your Fediverse life hopefully a little bit more successful.
If you post a concert 2 weeks before the event, people will only see it around the time you post it.
- On Mastodon and where you can quote: make your event post quotable and quote your own event regua
- use hashtags. Not only in the original post, but also in the quote post. Some people follow them, some hashtags are auto-reposted like #punk
- use pictures for a post. If you want that Pixelfed user see your post too, an image is needed.
- On Pixelfed and others where you can't quote: repost your event regularly. Maybe make more than one post with different images
- If you are playing with other bands, have a look if they are already in the Fediverse. If yes, link them in your post.

- is your account on the for you best instance? If you are a metal band, maybe think about switching to metalhead.club - I'm pretty sure @thomas will welcome you with open arms
If you are in a punk band, maybe think about joining punk.photos (Pixelfed) or punkstodon.de (Mastodon).
But there are a lot more punk instances. We list some of them on punx.social please have a look.
If your club is in Berlin, maybe berlin.social is a good place? And Cologne clubs will make find a lot of locals at social.cologne and so on. The easiest way to find it, is searching for it on fedidb.com
You can always switch instances and take all your followers with you.
