Here's a #FediTip for you.
Not only can you follow a hashtag, but in the web interface you can also pin it to a column. And then you can add additional hashtags to the column. And if you set Local Only to On, you'll see only your own toots with that hashtag.

Normalise the use of 'Filters'! #feditip #mastodon #fediverse

Cool - another minor #feditip: I posted the above testing out the "Schedule" feature of the app @apps #Fedilab. I typed it in last week, setting morning today as the post date, and it worked like a charm!

As an #artist , I have the aiart hashtag blocked here on Mastodon.

To do this yourself, follow these steps:
1. Settings>Filters.
2. New Filter List.
3. Add keyword of # aiart (all one word).
4. Save and see it at work.

This is useful for me because I follow the # digitalart tag and there is often aiart there and I don't want to see it so filter it out. I hope this #feditip helps some artists out there. :)

#FediTip:

#Use #Hashtags #As #Much #As #Possible.

It doesn't hurt if you have too few or too many.

Include them in your #bio, include them in your #introduction, include them in your posts.

Follow hashtags related to your interests, like #gaming #technology #cars #travel #photography and beyond.

Explore and discover!

@Zali_Falcam Et pour trouver des comptes qui parlent de ce que vous aimez: ici, on peut s'abonner à des hashtags. Et c'est vachement bien. :blobcatmelt: #FediTip

#feditip Add #nobot to your bio to prevent follow bots from following you.

Most bots should honour it, but some don't.

#MastoTIp

In Mastodon toots gain visibility by using hashtags. But it assumes that someone is following / searching that hashtag as you post.

You can also crosspost your toot to Lemmy, simply by mentioning the Lemmy community. Like I did here

As a bonus you get more clearer threaded conversations in the Lemmy UI.

Many of us are more than willing to help.

The easiest, as someone mentioned the other day, is to invite them to join your instance (server) if you are happy with it. That will cut down on a lot of their confusion.

Point them to #feditip.

I understand there have been a lot of developments in the various apps.

I use the browser interface with the advanced interface enabled.

Kleiner #feditip:

Mastodon erzeugt für jeden User eigene RSS-Feeds.

Uns findet ihr beispielsweise hier:

#feditip if consistently like someone's posts or find yourself boosting them, why not click on their profile pic and turn on notifications? I've done this for a few people. You can always turn it off again but it's an easy way to prioritize

Nie wiem, czy można to uznać za #feditip czy nie, natomiast bardzo w budowaniu na mastodonie miejsca, w którym dzieje się dla mnie coś ciekawego pomogły mi... dzwoneczki.

Gdy już znalazłem osoby, których treści mnie interesują, dostaję powiadomienia, gdy coś publikują. Dzięki temu nie dość, że nie przegapię ich tootków na głównej ścianie, mam kolejne powiadomienia, które przynajmniej u mnie zwiększają poczucie, że coś tu się dzieje.

Dodatkowo, mam nadzieję, działa to motywująco dla tych osób, że ich wiadomości ktoś widzi, lajkuje, boostuje... Ot, pomyślałem, że o tym tutaj napiszę. :)

Dość powiedzieć, że na mastodonie korzystam z tej opcji dużo swobodniej, niż na ptakoportalu. ;)

@numeracy thanks bro. if you link to the direct article url instead of the archive or category, it will show the article banners in the previews

this has been a #feditip

#FediTip #MastoTip

Seeing too much about the 'new social media platform run by the other billionaire'

Just block the terms!

Head into your 'Preferences' >> 'Filters' >> Click 'Add New Filter

- Give it a name,
- how long you wish to let this filter occur for,
- which timeline do you wish the filters to apply to
- and whether you want to hide it with a warning or completely remove it from your timelines.

And then enter your terms

it’s 2023. don’t trust mega corps that profit off of your personal information. #feditip

Pour faire un brouillon sur Mastodon, il suffit de publier avec le mode de confidentialité @ (personnes mentionnées uniquement). Quand la publication est prête, «Supprimer et réécrire» pour la rendre publique. #Mastodon #feditip #Migration

Friendly PSA tip.

I you don't want to see toots about #Twitter #Threads etc. using filters will make them disappear from your timeline. You can filter words, hashtags, and even specify how long the filter will last.

A little something-something like a #FediTip
If you are new on here, you can get your feet wet by taking part in TootCalls, #HashtagGames and Contests. That's a fast and fun way to get to know people around here.
I'm trying to post all I find on my second account: @tootcalls

And if you see one I haven't boosted or if you host one yourself, please tag me.

Mon #fediTip pour tous ceux qui souhaitent changer d'instance 💡

1️⃣ Une des premières pistes que je trouve très cool c'est d'utiliser l'outil de @maxbvrn qui te donne une vue de "mais où sont mes potes ?" https://tootexplorer.netlify.app/ 🔍

2️⃣ Une fois que t'as fait ta liste de choix potentiels, demande à tes potes ce qu'ils pensent de leur instance, de leurs admins, de leurs modérateurs 👌

3️⃣ Enfin, n'oublie pas de te renseigner sur leur politique quand au #Fedipact & #MetaBlock 💡
