Hello there, I have a :

I see people post content here where the text is visible, and only the images are hidden behind a CW. When I try to add CW, the whole post is hidden.

Can anybody help how to solve this? Thanks!🙏

Howdy. Am I correct in thinking that I'll lose all of my followers & those whom I follow if I change instances? :mastodon:

n00b question: I just reset my phone and now I can't seem to be able to follow hashtags anymore in Fedilab. I get an error that says my instance doesn't support it, but up until my phone reset I could do it.

I need my capy content! 😭

This might be a tepid question, but does anyone have any recommendations for accounts that follow on the „lighter“ or sarcastic side of ? I‘m trying to counterbalance some of the heavier stuff I‘m following.

alert...
Is there a way I can view the hashtags I'm following? ATM I'm having to spot them in my home feed and click on them, but I'd like to browse the list and decide what I want to see.
Edit: I'm using a desktop browser with advanced web interface

CW for long posts?

Should I use the Content Warning feature on long toots (without any triggers in them that I know of,) in order to collapse them in the feed?

Noob question:

I unfollowed an account but it's still showing up on my home feed. Is there something else I need to do or is it a bug in Fedilab?
(Yes, I refreshed, restarted, and waited a while)

Is it generally not possible to edit posts? Is it an instance thing, an app thing, or a Fediverse thing?

PS: I heard it's considered polite to CW *everything* and basically think of it as a subject line. Thoughts? Personally, I think I like it as an element of netiquette.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tap into the default Worpress rss widget to parse and store a rss feed or do I need to develop my own?

! I like it when the is for everyone and am trying out the . Please bear with me; I was told I should use lots of and am trying out the features.

I'm using on Android. I already have a : can I add hashtags in Fedilab to my home feed? Right now I have some hashtags in the top bar but I have to view them all separately. !

How many characters are too many? Can I just go on forever? I heard there was a limit but I still haven't reached it. Maybe it's 600 characters? 1000? I guess at some point the numbers will just go red and I will know what's up. Ok it wasn't 600. I'll just search online then because this is getting way out of hand. ...GREAT SCOTT I'm glad I did: it's 65,535 characters on my instance. 😂

Is it considered spamming or rude to boost ones own post, maybe re-boosting it a few times?

I'm an performing in lead roles as member of the ensemble of an house in Germany and as guest at other houses and festivals. I don't get any money from ticket sales, my fee is the same whether I sing in front of ten people or a thousand. I’d just like as many eyes as possible on toots about my upcoming performances!

One let down for me is the tab. Very little content and not updated often. Is it linked to who I'm following or just a feature in progress?

My main usage of the other place was following news. So I'd love this to be better.

What I don't like in is once I attach a video to my post, it doesn't let me edit the text anymore. So, I got to type without mistakes first and upload a video only after putting all the words & emojis the way I wanted.

Is that in my place only, or do you experience the same? :blobcatafternoon:

1/ it seems like the most straightforward way of DMing someone is to @ them and choose the 'only people I mention' option in visibility settings. Is that right?
2/ as i understand it, mastodon is not E2EE and server admins can see the content of DMs. Is that right and if so is there an app or protocol broadly used to switch to private convos? (Do people just share their Signal # ?)
