  1. Do you wish there was a way to type your favourite emoji without stopping to use the picker?

    ✅ In Mastodon, you can choose an emoji directly by typing : (colon) and then a keyword or name of the emoji you want.

    For example, :sun will bring up all the emoji containing the word "sun". Choose the one you want with the arrow keys, then press enter.

  6. @feditips @VAC you sound a bit like…

    you could’ve paid closer attention.

    Would you like me to clarify about #triggering?

    Was I not clear about #toxicity?

    Could I have made clearer that #Facebook itself could be a trigger?

    Or did you need help with the part that I’m a #veteran who’s #LivingWithDisabilities?

    I’m sure I made clear that I’m not well versed in the #fediverse, so that couldn’t be it
    (-_-)ゞ゛

    Q: What happens to your pulse when you hear the word #woke?

  7. @feditips
    This looks like a great option for now but I can't help but think that allowing everything in posts to be searchable as an option would be a better approach. That would do away with hashtags altogether.

    Some Mastodon instances have implemented a custom full text search feature like universeodon.com from github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon I've been using it lately and makes finding things that much easier.

    I'm hoping to see adoption of a way to fulltext search being an instance option, opt-in and opt-out depending on the instance settings implemented by default soon.

    For anyone curious this is being discussed in this GitHub thread: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

  8. Are you having trouble using Mastodon or PixelFed accounts on the official Mastodon app?

    - You can use the official app for accounts on any Mastodon or PixelFed server, including servers not on the app's own list. When you're signing in, enter your server name and it will work (even if it's not on the list). Just type the server's name in full, and then your password in the password section.

    - You can sign in with multiple accounts at once on the official app by pressing the account icon in the bottom right corner until it says "Add account". You can use the same menu to switch between accounts.

    - To sign out of an account in the official app, select the account you want to sign out of, then go to the ⚙️ Settings menu, scroll down to the "Spicy Zone" and select "Sign out".

  9. PixelFed :pixelfed: is one of the types of server that make up the Fediverse :fediverse:

    It focuses on photos and images, with an interface that's somewhat similar to Instagram. There's more info on the official site at pixelfed.org and their official account is @pixelfed

    You can follow PixelFed accounts from Mastodon, you might even be doing so already without realising it, because from within Mastodon they will look like any other account. (For example @connyduck is a PixelFed account)

    You can get a PixelFed account yourself by signing up on a PixelFed server. There's a list of servers to join at fedidb.org/software/pixelfed, but unfortunately they don't currently tell you anything about how one server differs from another, so you'll have to rely on word of mouth.

    There's no official app for PixelFed released yet (though there is one in testing), but you can use PixelFed accounts through Mastodon apps.

  10. As you may have seen, @pixelfed has made changes to its software so that it is now compatible with most Mastodon apps.

    This means (if the new feature is working correctly!) you can log into your PixelFed account on a Mastodon app, as long as your PixelFed instance has updated to the latest version of the software. Ask your instance admin if you're not sure.

    The Mastodon app compatibility is brand new so it may have bugs. The PixelFed team has asked people to let them know if they have any problems.

    Alternatively, there's a dedicated PixelFed app for Android called @PixelDroid which is available from @fdroidorg. There's a guide for installing F-Droid at switching.software/replace/goo

    Also, there's an official dedicated PixelFed app on the way for Android and iOS, though it hasn't been released yet.

  11. PixelFed has just reached 50k users on 186 instances! 🥳

    If you haven't tried it yet, you can find out more from the official site at:

    pixelfed.org

    It's a Fediverse alternative to Instagram, and federates with Mastodon etc. so millions of people across the Fediverse can follow PixelFed accounts.

    PixelFed has an unofficial Android app called @PixelDroid. It's currently in beta testing, you can get it from F-Droid:

    f-droid.org/packages/org.pixel

    If you don't have F-Droid yet, here are instructions on how to install it:

    switching.software/use/f-droid

  12. PixelFed now supports viewing text-only posts, by going to:

    Settings > Timelines > Show text-only posts

    This lets you see text-only posts in your timeline made by Fediverse accounts you follow through PixelFed.

    (Due to its photo-oriented nature, PixelFed hides text-only Fediverse posts by default.)

  13. @feditips @SarahKimball here's a nice way to get started on Mastodon - to begin to see what is out there in terms of colleagues, potential allies, and resources. Suggested hashtags: #immigration, #ImmigrantJustice, #refugees, #healthjustice - let me know what you think!

  14. @feditips
    It would be better if #MastodonWeb had an option to open external profiles through original instance by default (in new tab), especially once extensions like #FediAct become common.
    Now that I think about it, this could be an idea for such extension.

  15. @ju RSS chyba wycina dane eventowe zostawiając tylko standardowe pola?

    Poszedłbym w coś z #wordpress-a, wtyczkę. Zazwyczaj nie polecam Jetpack-a, ale obsługuje chyba i #Mastodon i fb i eventy?

    Widziałem tutaj posty nim wrzucane.

    Korzystałem kiedyś z Buffer, obsługuje obecnie Mastodona i Facebooka jednocześnie, ale nie wiem, czy będzie przezroczysty dla danych event-u.

    Możesz też rozważyć w drugą stronę -> eventy natywne dla #fediverse, np. #Gancio gancio.org (czy #Mobilizon joinmobilizon.org, albo #Gathio gath.io), większy zasięg w fedi i ich import do wp np. przez pl.wordpress.org/plugins/wpgan

    Może #FediPomoc #FediTipsPL ma jakiś pomysł?

    Also, may I add: click on a hashtag from time to time, see if it pulls up other interesting posts for you.

    Also this is maybe not obvious but good to know: you might get different results on different instances!

    #FediTipps #UseHashtags

  17. @feditips @MastodonEngineering Yes.

    First, there's #Weblate. I strongly recommend it, I have recently started using it for my own games. #Minetest also uses it.

    Then, there's translatewiki.net. #FreeCol uses it and a number of other projects. Also good.

    There are also #Zanata and #Pootle but I have no experience with these and they may be outdated (check for yourself).

    Then, there are translation services tailored towards specific software:

    #Pontoon for Mozilla.
    #Eints for #OpenTTD.

  19. TIP! Jeśli nie chcesz widzieć czegoś na swoim #timeline, możesz w aplikacji internetowej kliknąć #ustawienia, następnie #Filtry i Dodaj nowy filtr.
    Wpisz słowo kluczowe, dla którego chcesz to filtrować i DODAJ NOWY FILTR.
    Hej presto, poszło!
    Na przykład, byłem zirytowany widząc tak wiele #Tweets skopiowanych na mojej osi czasu, więc dodałem #filtr dla "@ RT". Teraz nie widzę tych cross platformowych tweetów w #toots, ale nadal mogę zobaczyć inne treści z tego konta!
    Dzięki @steveumstead za pokazanie mi!

  20. As an instance admin, please stop forwarding reports to servers when they don't violate our rules. The fediverse has diverse servers with different rules. When making a report that violates your own servers' rules, please make sure that your report violates the original server's rules too. Otherwise, turn this option off. #feditips #reportspam #report #reporting

  21. Good morning #Fediverse (and #Twitterverse for those still on the dark side 😊). Here’s a little tip if you’d like people to find you on #Mastodon by your real/user name: include it as a hashtag in your profile, maybe sign off with it on a few posts/toots too.
    Have a great day y’all — #PhilGroom #notbovvered
    #feditips @feditips

  22. @feditips @vernissage Gonna try this out!! I never used my Instagram account mostly because I had already decided by that time to #dumpZuck. But I’m willing to give this a shot!

  23. Stay safe on the fediverse: Check who you're talking to! 🔒

    Follow these steps to make sure an account is legitimate:

    1. Make sure that a secure padlock icon is visible in your browser's address bar.

    2. Make sure the blue "verified" checkmark :verified: is present, to the right of the username.

    Our account should check both of these boxes!

  24. Welcome new 🐘 people!
    Some #feditips 👇:fedi:

    To disable the #notification sounds in #mastodon:
    - Click the bell 🔔 on the right hand sidebar
    - Then the 3 knobs 🎚 icon and uncheck sound

    If you miss the #twitter look try the custom user interface called #elk #elkapp:
    - elk.zone
    - Some servers have it locally but it can connect to others as well

    Words:
    - Post/Toot = Tweet
    - Boost = Retweet
    - Favorite = Like

    Boosting a post shows it on your feed. Favoriting a post will show it to the author:
    - Others can only see your favs by clicking that post
    - You can't lookup others favs so use them freely
    - You can search posts you've fav:ed from the #️⃣ explore button on the right sidebar

    Some instances allow longer messages. This depends on each servers settings.

    To make posts #searchable by others:
    - Use #hashtags
    - Only a few servers like infosec.exchange and mastodon.social support #FullTextSearch
    - This feature is coming for all servers soon in V4.2.0

    Cheers!

  25. @feditips Aside the server website I also use #ElkApp. A custom theme for Mastodon that resembles the birdsite UI.
