There is an annoucement system built into Mastodon servers where the admin can make an announcement to all of that server's members on the front page.

Most admins don't use it very often, usually just for announcing upgrades or whatever, but if a server admin wanted to use it for some sort of regular update they could?

If there's an annoucement, it appears as a megaphone icon at the top of your server's timeline.

One thing I have learned about alerts is they are ignored. I had a pub with a 10cm drop between rooms and no amount of visual cues stopped the carnage.

Plus there's so much, and we learn best in tasty bits. MailChimp has a feature where incremental tips are handed out on a schedule, or sometimes there's a counter on some action. What if first time in Search sends a guide with examples, or first click on a hashtag triggers a Search FAQ?
