By default, #Fedilab supports pronouns. It will display them, next to screen names in timelines but also when replying to a person.
For that, Fedilab uses fields (from profiles) and accepts different keys depending on your language.#FedilabTips

PS: Don't hesitate to share with us new keys for pronouns in your language.

You might have an active Home timeline, unfortunately, #Mastodon instances won't keep all messages. So you might lose/miss some of them.
#Fedilab introduced the ability to cache your Home timeline in the background. This is also useful if you have a weak connection, the app will read them later from cache. #FedilabTips

With #Fedilab, you can customize how timelines are displayed in the app.
For that just open "Main menu > Manage timelines".
You will be able to reorder your timelines by moving items. Hide a timeline by tapping on the eye icon. All timelines can be removed excepted default ones that can only be hidden.
Also, by tapping on the "+" button at the top right, you will be able to follow remote instances (and also Twitter accounts through #Nitter). #FedilabTips

Maybe an old unknown feature of #Fedilab. In settings > Privacy you can enable an option to remove UTM parameters in URLs.
It will work for new messages but you can still clear the cache from the app.

Just a reminder that you can long press tabs, especially the Home tab to enable some filters by unchecking some items. #FedilabTips

Fedilab continues to surprise me with features that I missed. Open a profile and go to 'Media'. This gives you a great view of all the media on the account—only media, no text. One tap opens the media, as expected. What I didn't know is that tapping and holding brings you to the corresponding post. :floofHappy:

Recently we got several feedback concerning Hashtag and Nitter pinned timelines.
You can perfectly make them work as lists by adding more hashtags or more Nitter accounts on a single timeline.
For that, just long press the tab of pinned timelines.
You will also be able to rename tabs. #fedilabTips

Just a reminder that if you change your device, #Fedilab has an export/import feature in settings.
It will generate a file that you can even import from the login page just after installing Fedilab on the new device. You will have an exact copy of Settings and authenticated accounts without any extra efforts. #fedilabTips

so it seems like #Fedilab doesn't respect your default posting language setting you've set for the account, instead deferring to your phone's display language? which is a really bad idea in my opinion?
can anyone else using Fedilab confirm or alternatively tell me where one can find the default posting language setting?

If you use an instance that supports reactions or quoting messages, you can enable "extra features" in the settings of #Fedilab to enable these options.#FedilabTips

Die Frage ist mir etwas peinlich - wo kann man in @apps eigentlich seine Lesezeichen sehen? Hinzufügen kein Problem, aber was muss ich machen, um sie mir anzuschauen?

For adding accounts into a list with #Mastodon, you currently need to follow them.
Sometimes, you might not want to see their messages in your Home feed.
For that, #Fedilab has an in-app feature (working only with the app), you can mute accounts for Home only.

Read media descriptions for more details and you can follow #FedilabTips we will publish more about unknown features with that tag.

One thing that I love about #Fedilab is the ability to #follow #instances. It allows you to follow another user's #instance, and it appears to be working quite well, with my #federated #timeline having more posts from those instances that I am interested it. Quite nice, I haven't seen it in other #apps yet

In 3.17.0, #Fedilab introduced an automatic cache feature for the home timeline.
The goal is to cache your home messages even if you don't use the app.
It is per account and you can adjust the fetch time (default: disabled).
If you have a very active home timeline, it can be useful. The app will keep it for you in cache during 7 days.

Just a small reminder concerning a #Fedilab feature.
Currently with #Mastodon you need to follow accounts to add them in a list. If you don't want to see their messages in your home timeline, you can use the "Mute for Home" feature.
It's available from profiles or directly from a list to mute all accounts at once. #fedilabTips

If you want to see all messages when visiting profiles without to click on the magnifying glass icon each time, you can enable this feature in settings.

You might follow some accounts that write in different languages. Did you know that with #Fedilab you can filter messages from these accounts depending of their languages?
That will make your home timeline cleaner. #fedilabTips

We have to clarify something between a #Mastodon feature and a #Fedilab feature.

Follow hashtags (a Mastodon feature) means that you will get messages containing that hashtags in your home timeline even if you don't follow accounts that wrote these messages.

If you want a dedicated timeline, it's a Fedilab feature called "pinned tags".
It's a dedicated timeline where you can even group several # and exclude some others. You can even only display media.
