Hey... When you click on Federated Timeline, then you click on the search button and look up a hashtag... are you going to see results across the Federated Timeline or just on the local instance? I ask because when I did that, it looked like I was only seeing a limited number of results. And I don't see a search option on the Federated Timeline window.

I'm on web version on laptop and when I go to someone's media column and try to click on an image it vanishes fast but alt text stays #mastodonquestions

Can someone explain to me why I see this screen on certain accounts that I follow? #Mastodon #MastodonHelp #MastodonQuestions

Is it possible to follow someone and just see their posts but not their boosts? #mastodonquestions #mastodon

It it possibly to verify your website in your #Mastodon profile if it doesn't have https://?

What is the purpose of the "OnHere" hashtag?

#mastodonquestions

Is there a way to make local (to the server/instance) posts? Say, kind of like #IRC &-channels.

#MastodonQuestions #Mastodon

If you started following someone on another server, why can't I see their older posts? I also can't see their followers.

But, I can still follow them.

hmmm I wish there was a way to easily follow a question so you can see the answers. Maybe there is and I'm just missing it? #Questions #Notifications #FollowQuestions #MastodonQuestions #FediverseQuestion

is there a way to set filters on mastodon so that in my home feed I don't see posts by people I follow that get boosted by other people I follow? I want to see the original posts, just not the boosts (eliminating multiple posts in my feed) #MastodonQuestions

Can anyone explain (maybe @feditips ?) why the "for you" suggestions of people I might like to follow never change?

I mean, I'm a Clash fan, and @nicdex seems like a nice guy, but these have been the suggestions literally since the day I signed up and I feel a perverse urge to resist. Can I have some new suggestions please?

Maybe if I follow, then unfollow, it will refresh?

Woke up to getting spammed by a few accounts from mastodon.social. 🙄 I know this is partly why so many instances defederate from them but I’ve never gotten any grief myself until now. I can’t seem to remove the notifications from my notifications feed, is there a way to do that? (I blocked both accounts). #fediquestions #mastodonquestions

Is anyone noticing a problem with photo posts? In the past we were able to post Flickr photos but now our old Flickr photo posts have been turned in blurred images and our most recent attempt shows only a bare URL.

Is this a Mastodon bug or user error on our part? I see other people posting photos so maybe only a problem with Flickr photos?

We're really trying here but Mastodon can be frustrating... :(

Is there any good tutorial for #mastoadmin regarding how to restore from a backup a #Mastodon instance? Or migrate to another machine? The official one seems to be missing steps. #mastodonquestions

Okay, why doesn't clicking the See More button on a post show me the images that were obscured by the CW? Does this really need to be a two-step process?

What's the mechanism for getting alt text from a Mastodon post to stay with the image when that post gets imported to somewhere else? Is there a way to do it?

#AltText #MastodonQuestions #FediQuestions #questions #Mastodon

On Mastodon is a reply to your own post that otherwise has the usual Public visibility treated as less than a 'normal' post and filtered out of timelines or anything like that?

I'm wondering if it make any sense to reply to your own posts over a larger period of time to create some (optional) context or narrative to an otherwise stand-alone toot. #MastodonQuestions

Haven't been on in a bit, super busy week, but I've recently read some #mastodon #instances are starting to buckle over pressure. Any word on this from within the group(s), or if this instance could ever conceivably shut down, or is it too big?

#MastodonQuestions

Hmmm I thought I had understood what went into the "home" TL here, but today a Toot showed up, that was not from a person I followed or was boosted by anyone I followed. So is there a third source of Tootings ending up there?
