#MastadonTips

If you post a long thread, you can mark post 2 and onwards as ‘unlisted’ so you’re not injecting multiple posts into the timeline of your followers #psa #mastadontips

@radikal

Hvad er jeres anbefalinger til organisationsbrugere her på #Mastodon? Jeg har login til @Lab61 og @Ungdomshuset, men er i tvivl om, hvordan jeg fx skal bruge follows. Det gør vel i praksis ingen forskel for synligheden af opslag om jeg følger nogen? Er der andre gode grunde til at følge nogen end at se deres opslag?
Har I nogen andre gode tips? :)

Some tips for new Mastadon people: You need to follow people and follow hashtags.

To find people, it takes work but it is worth the effort. A great source for daily recommendations is @FediFollows. I also recommend following #followfriday for more.

Hashtags are the other secret to a good timeline. Search for them and follow as many as you want. This is also a great way to find people.

Follow a lot of people and hashtags - you can always unfollow later!

Is there a way to view posts you have stared? #mastadontips

So, if you follow me, but haven't posted on your current instance (or a former one), and don't have an introduction -- don't expect me to follow back (unless I know you from the birdsite or FB or IRL). A short blurb, a profile pic -- something to clue me in on what you're about -- would be appreciated. I've already had one interaction with an account I recognized as a birdsite troll -- and that was enough! Being an activist attracks paid trolls and infiltraitors. We should be cautious about who we "friend".

Tip: When you ❤️ a post it will save in your favorites. You can go back and look at it. Also, if you have people you follow and want “notifications” you can click the 🔔and their posts will also be in your favorites. Although this may not work in all apps #mastadontips

When to boost and when to favourite? #mastadontips

#mastadon #MastadonTips why do accounts I’ve chosen to alert me when they toot show up in mentions and everything? It makes finding mentions more difficult. Just keep it in everything.

@hurricaneghoul Follow follow follow, favourite, post, favourite, boost, boost, post, post. And use hashtags like they're going out of style. #newbie #mastadontips #shoutingintothevoid. Hashtags will bubble up on people's search.

A #mastodonTip for those who've hit their lifetime limit of looking at Arial: Go to "Settings" → "Preferences" → "Appearance" → "Use system's default font" #mastadonTips

New #mastadon strategy: over-#hashtag my posts so I can discover other people, and their posts, and the hashtags they use. #lifeprotip #mastadonTips #newHere #memes #yoDawg

A tip I have for anyone just joining Mastodon is to follow many accounts & to make them as diverse as possible. It’s a great way to connect with new people & to learn lots of interesting stuff. Also it makes your home feed fill up pretty quickly.
And personally, I’ve found that people here are really up for chatting & helping with with what’s needed.

#MastadonTips is the current method of following those on other instances a deliberate design decision or a kludgy thing that will get smoothed eventually? Seems like some scripting could handle that behind the scenes.

I did a thing!

Migrating from Twitter to Mastodon seems to be popular these days, but a lot of people get hung up on a few of its technical details. I wrote this to help explain to your tech-illiterate Aunt Kathy that Mastodon isn't really that hard.

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

So, here's a thing: looks like you can @ a post to a non-follower with visibility set to "followers only" and that person WILL see the post.

Note: such a message doesn't show up in the @'ed person's Home feed but IS in Notifications/Mentions and will behave as any other mention.

This overcomes a limitation in twitter: people with private accounts couldn't @ a non-follower - well you could, but they wouldn't see it. The choice was to go public or not communicate.

One thing I haven’t managed to work out yet on this lovely site is to add a photo to my header. I’m on the App. Any advice? #MastadonTips

@yongsagisa I would, but I used all available characters in the op 🥴 so I'll just add it here #MastadonTips

@SueC when you view by the hashtag, look for a icon that looks like you're adding a person to follow. Now that hashtag will appear in your home follows. #mastadontips
