Le saviez-vous ? vous pouvez parfaitement rédiger un toot et l’envoyer en « Mentioned People Only » = Personnes mentionnées seulement… sans mentionner personne ! Donc seulement comme « note pour moi-même », puis par exemple bookmarker ce message pour le retrouver facilement.

Exemple : j’ai copié un fichier dans mon Dropbox, et je veux garder le lien sous la main, pour pouvoir le refiler à d’autres, au besoin. Je mets le lien dans un toot à moi-même… Et voilà ! 😋

I never noticed that you can switch the Local and Federated timelines to "Media Only," and that Federated has a "Remote only" toggle.

Rappel : publier en « non listé » la plupart des conneries qu’on raconte ici, c’est bien. On peut même configurer son compte pour que que ça soit le statut par défaut (c’est ce que je fais).

MAIS si vous utilisez des hashtags dans votre toot, c’est (a priori) pour qu’il puisse être retrouvé par ce tag. Alors pensez à donner le statut « public » simple à votre toot. En « non listé », les tags ne sont pas fonctionnels. Ils ne servent à rien (sauf à faire joli).

Here is an example of how trunks.social does quote posting.

This is what this post looked like on the Android app.

:
Look at the Local from time to time. Even if you don't know a to look for, you'll find new interesting people to follow! Give it a go. Your feed will grow and diversify (so there's a greater variety of content to interact with).

If you have and use more that one Mastodon account and use same avatar, try just to change avatar color. Etc. blue for account 1, green for 2.
So when you switch accounts on the fly you know.

Friendly PSA tip.

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

Tip: If you aren't writing in English, please be sure to change the language of your post, or visit your account settings to change your default posting language.

It really helps with translation when the post doesn't claim to be English while containing French, for example.

Reminder: Mastodon has good support for both filtering content you don't want to see and for banning entire instances as a user.

Personally, I have a filter for content posted from Twitter to hide those by default from my timeline. I still read a lot of them posted by people whose other content I enjoy, but by default they don't fill up my timeline.

Blocking bird.makeup is useful if you don't like Twitter content.

Pursuant to that last toot, you can follow public timelines from all over the Fediverse w/ Fedilab for Android (Calckey, Pixelfed, etc).

You can also follow individual birdsite accounts if there's something you need for safety's sake. I use it to follow the local fire department w/o ever having to see the site.

My instutition is willing to join Mastodon soon. However, one of the reasons holding it back on the bird site is the difficulty of setting up cross-posting now that Musk has closed twitter's API... does anyone have a workaround for this? @wikidata @egonw @academicchatter

The "Federated" feed at the side of the screen shows all the public posts by all the accounts that people on your home instance follow, including accounts on other instances.
source: @feditips

Exercise:
Visit the Mastodon Federated feed to see posts you'd otherwise not typically see.
- Find new accounts to follow.
- See topics that you normally might not see, find new interests.
- Get a diversity of viewpoints on topics you do follow.

cont. The reason it doesn't work this way on corporate social media platforms like IG and the birdsite is because, for all intents & purposes, the entire thing is the same server.

The Fediverse is a ton of independent servers talking to each other and that's why we don't have to see ads or promoted junk 🎉🎊

Y'all, I'm continually seeing people who are still confused about handles on here.

It's like email. The first half is your name/handle (mine is @ ElizabethLeeCo) and the last half is your instance/server (mine is @ horrorhub.club).

Just like when you email someone, you need *both* parts of the addy on here for people to be tagged.

In other words, if I'm emailing my dad, I can't only type his first name. I need the @gmail.com part too 🤓

@timkmak In case it's helpful to you (e.g. if you want to do the equivalent of a QT for a colleague's post or whatever) -- this is the work around. Copy the post's URL and write your own post and include the link.
