@LukaszD Osobom, które nie korzystają z list polecam gorąco wypróbowanie klientów, które pozwalają na przypięcie list na bocznym panelu (Tuba) czy w kartach obok głównej osi (Pachli, Phanpy).

Sam zacząłem doceniać listy, gdy zrozumiałem, że mogę jednym klikiem/przesunięciem przełączyć oś czasu na tematyczną, a wiadomości kont piszących na jakiś temat nie giną mi w głównym feedzie.

Guten Morgen ,

man kann sich kaum entscheiden... oder ? 🤔

Irgendwie lässt sich mein Bekanntenkreis von keinem der drei Dienste begeistern.
Zu wenig Bilder? 📸👀
Zu wenig Kontakte? 🫂

Wie ist eure Erfahrung?

Mastodon is only a decent community because we actively maintain it. If you see harassment, especially men targeting women, don't just scroll past. Call it out and report it. Let's keep the space clean. Take out the trash.

Any advice for a safe #server based in the #EU?

@FediGarden

One possibly simpler solution is to try asking your instance admin nicely if they wouldn't mind upping the limit. That worked for me on mastodonapp.uk, because @wild1145 is a total star 🙂

Would you like to create posts longer than 500 characters on Mastodon?

You can have longer posts by moving your account to a server that offers longer posts. I've done a list of well-run reliable servers with larger post sizes at:

If you're not sure how to move your account to a different server, there's a step-by-step guide at fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

If you want to boost content but feel it's too disturbing to share without a content warning and the author didn't put a content warning on it, no problem.

You quote post it and add a content warning yourself. This way you can share it with your followers without pissing them off.

> I would like to use more PeerTube and less YouTube … but I can’t seem to find nice creators

I'm guessing you've tried browsing the #PeerTube hashtag and searching for your interests on;

sepiasearch.org/

... and ...

fedi.video/

Some other discovery methods are discussed here;

Searching PT is covered in more detail here;

#HatTip to @FediTips for the diligent work they continue to do on these guides.

Tief durchatmen und in einer ruhigen Stunde nochmal probieren!

Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich dir viel Spaß in der bunten Fedi-Wunderwelt!

Es gibt auch noch den Hashtag #FediTips - die Beiträge darunter würde ich an deiner Stelle auch mal durchstöbern!

Hier j'ai installé l'extension StreetPass sur Vivaldi parce que je trouve le concept vraiment cool. C'est inspiré du StreetPass de la 3DS qui permettait de rencontrer les Mii des gens qu'on croisait dans la vraie vie genre dans le bus ou dans un bar avec une détection de proximité.

Et là elle le fait avec les comptes Fediverse des gens qui ont validé leur site avec la balise de vérification de profil.

Et donc au fil de ma navigation, des fois je vais voir une petit popup s'afficher dans un coin de la page et indiquer le compte fediverse de la personne qui a créé la page en question.

Avis aux gens qui bloguent : Pensez à utiliser cette balise sur votre site _^

You are a #newcomer? One tip: First write something into your profile and perhaps at least one post. Always good: an # introduction or # newhere post. fedi.tips/how-do-i-customise-m

❗ Only *after that* make follow requests!

This is the best way to show that your account is real and operated by a human being. And not by AI, troll factories, scammers or bots.
It's why I don't accept empty accounts. I get too many requests from fakes.

FYI there are bots that can help with alt text for images. You follow the bot, it follows you back, and if you post an image without alt text, it replies with suggested text (no idea how it's generated). Then you can edit the post with the image and copypasta the suggested text into the alt text field.

@NyxMir

Is your Mastodon timeline too empty or too full? Are you seeing stuff you don't want to, and missing stuff you do want to see? Is your timeline overwhelmed by someone who shares too many posts?

These and lots more timeline problems are solved in the "How to customise your Mastodon timeline" guide:

If you include a link within a Mastodon post, it will automatically show a "link preview" below the post. Link previews often show an image associated with the link and/or basic information about the contents of the link.

You don't have to do anything special, the preview is generated automatically. It may sometimes take a few minutes to appear if your server is busy.

More info about previews as well as many questions answered at:

If you'd like to find songs or artists similar to the ones you like, but don't want to depend on Spotify for that, here's an alternative:

chosic.com/playlist-generator

If you're still using Spotify, you can also generate playlists with this.

I have always used Tusky for Mastodon, don't remember why. Could someone suggest a good client for Android that allows me to see toot translations if I want, and plays videos without the alt text covering everything? Before I start trying all the apps I can find on Droid-ify.
