Two gender-related #FediTips:
1. The first time you interact with someone or say something about their post, it's worth checking their profile to see if they've shared their pronouns. I've seen a slew of misgenderings of trans and enby people in replies recently, all of which were preventable.
2. If you are comfortable revealing this about yourself, it's a great idea to share your own pronouns in your bio, ESPECIALLY if you feels like you don't "need" to. Normalize sharing pronouns! -
Anyone know of a masto bot or service that resembles the remind me feature on Reddit? For example, you find a thread that you want to check back in on later, this bot would notify you at some later date with a reminder to check that post/thread.
@FediTips do you know of anything like this?

PeerTube is a video platform on the Fediverse, sort of like a free open source alternative to YouTube. This guide goes through all the most common questions about PeerTube, including how to discover videos and how to use it with your Mastodon account:

Be really careful when blocking servers (aka "domains") on Mastodon. If you block an entire server, this will also remove all your follows and followers on that server.
If you have accidentally blocked a server and you wish you hadn't blocked it, here's a guide for what to do next:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/help-ive-accidentally-blocked-a-server-on-mastodon-what-do-i-do-now
Obviously this isn't ideal, and it's better not to accidentally block a server, but hopefully this provides some kind of way back if the worst happens.

@FediTips Ok I'll prepare for it...
If you have a #helpdesk graphic or similar ideas for #helping people, send me anything you like and I'll put an advert out... (you might have something already related to Fedi.Tips)
Maybe I'll take questions for the weekend or spontaneous "calls" whenever people drop by for simple or complicated answers... It's interesting what will happen!

Depending on how your instance manages the notification system about complains and actions against your profile and your personal handling of your email accounts, you might or might not be aware about so called "strikes" against your profile.
You can find the list, that page, on the URL of your instance at:

Hey Fediverse! Vielleicht habt ihr Tipps: Ich möchte das Regenrohr auf meiner Terrasse anzapfen, um Wasser für die Bewässerung der Grünanlagen zu sammeln. Erlaubnis vom Vermieter habe ich. Ich würde jetzt eine Wanne aufstellen (geschlossen mit Deckel wegen Mücken), das Wasser hier einleiten, und evtl. auch eine Art Überlauf schaffen, um ggf. wieder abzuleiten. Ist das eine gute Idee? Gibt es vielleicht schon fertige Lösungen für so etwas? Bitte boosten! Danke!

You can use Mastodon's "Filters" feature to automatically hide posts containing certain words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji. More info about how to do this in this guide:

The guide also answers lots of questions about filters.

If you want to share someone else's post in Mastodon but add a content warning (CW) to it, here's how:
1. Click boost 🔁 on the post but select the option to quote it instead of boosting
2. Click the ❗ content warning option and write a reason for the CWThe content warning will cover both your own post and the quoted post.

Na serwerze mastodon.social pojawiły się już kolekcje (na innych serwerach jeszcze nie będą działać). To nowa funkcjonalność zapowiadana dla wersji 4.6. Chodzi o podpowiedzi kont do obserwowania, kolejny krok w walce z pustymi timelines u nowych osób na fedi.

Tak to będzie wyglądać jak na screenie.

I had a couple of people complain they saw a "post pending" message on a quote-post I made yesterday.
My solution: Click on the time stamp of the post (bottom right corner), which opens a new window, showing the pending post.
Not sure of the UI of every Mastodon app for the time stamp, but I suspect that should work well for most users.

PSA: If you edit a poll in a post here on Mastodon, it re-sets to zero, and you lose all responses/data to date.
(In the past week or so, especially, I've seen a few peeps find this out the hard way, and it's quite shite..)
