  1. Jamais je n'avais eu autant de spams suite à une cyber-attaque (3/4 par jour) ! Je parle de celle de #Free ; j'avais un alias sur @ouvaton du type [email protected].

    Je suis ravi à présent de pouvoir supprimer cet alias et qu'ils reçoivent dans leur face un message d'erreur 😜

    Bref, pensez aux alias quand vous vous créez un compte ; et si besoin, vous le supprimez si vous recevez des spams !

  2. Hehe, clever me (not). I use Fedilab as mobile client, for context.
    For couple of weeks I was thinking, why some my followers not posting, like, its servers went off or something, don't know.
    Then today though invide my mind - what if they were all muted!
    And yes, fedilab has poor icon buttons without descriptions and i was muting, thinking i was setting notifications for followers XD
    It wasn't I was ghosting you all, I wasn't see you XD

  3. Wie geil ist Mastodon bitte, dass man einen Tag abonnieren kann. Habe seit kurzer Zeit den Tag "GoodNews" abonniert (absichtlich nicht als Tag geschrieben hier, weil ich den Tag mit meiner Meinung nicht missbrauchen möchte). Mein Feed ist so viel positiver jetzt. Hammer! Und danke an alle, die diesen Tag sinngemäß nutzen und den Feed somit einfach wundervoller machen. ♥️

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1163

    If you want to use this feature, make sure that you are on a #Mastodon instance that updates fairly regularly.

    My previous instance, for example, was stuck on 4.2, and the admin made clear that he had no interest in putting in the effort to maintain it further.

    You can see your current version on the bottom of the web page. If the version is too old, you might consider migrating to a new instance. Sure, your old posts will remain on your old instance - but your connections and bookmarks will move with you.

  10. Here's something really useful I've found.

    One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.

    But.

    If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.

    This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.

    Here's the solution.

    First, follow @_followback

    It will follow you back.

    And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.

    So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.

    Here's where the magic happens.

    The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.

    So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.

    And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.

    And it works for all hashtags.

    Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub

    So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.

    Or @news follows all posts using #news

    #relay #relays #selfhosted #selfhosting #Mastodon #feditip #feditips #fedihelp

  15. #FediTip #FediHelp I don't know any languages apart from my native English, but I follow and enjoy reading several Germans whose posts I used to see here with a "translate to English" link below. I don't see that link anywhere nowadays. Don't know if it happened when I changed instance from m/social to writing.exchange. Don't think so, but I mention that in case it makes sense to anyone who knows more than I do about this stuff. So, please can anyone help me get those links back? Thanks.

  18. #PROTIP for the weekend:

    if you go to your Notifications tab and click the arrows icon at the top right you can expand options and disable notifications for boosts and likes

    this way you can stop staring at your own posts with that fish-looking face while you read them over and over every time someone new boosts or favorites them...

    you will be saving a lot of time, congratulations 🎉

    Hi Kev! Good to see you.

    Be sure to include relevant hashtags in posts cos for a lot of folks on Fedi, following hashtags (preferring to follow subject matter rather than following individuals) is how we roll.

    Door from:me in het zoekveld te zetten.

    Ik weet niet of het in elke #cliënt (mobiel/desktop) gebruikt kan worden maar in #Mona (#iOS) in ieder geval wel.

  29. @[email protected] Here's a #feditip for you.

    Before you join an instance, always look at its about page (
    https://mastodon.art/about).

    If you unfold the "Moderated servers" list and an absolutely massive blocklist shows up (like on dot art) that means that this server is suffering from extremely toxic censorship and you should not join it! On a typical instance this list is usually only 10 to 20 instances at most.

    Also if you can't see the "Moderated servers" list, that means that the admins have hidden it on purpose. I suggest do not join an instance without this type of moderation transparency either!

  30. #FediTip most fedizens don't watch tiktok so if you dont know what to post on here you can just transcribe a funny sketch off there and nobody will know

  31. A tip for those who might not know (or might not know how): You can curate your feed with #filters Filters hide posts that include filtered words. If you find posts about certain topics stressful or annoying, you can easily avoid them by filtering keywords that are usually found only in posts on those topics. Although some Mastodon clients don't let you make filters within the app, you can always make filters on the web interface. #FediTip 1/2

  32. #feditip: On Mastodon you can follow hashtags. For example:

    Follow #auspol to read people complaining about Albo. And follow #melbourne for people complaining about their public transport.

    Now your feed is complete!

  33. RE: cosocial.ca/@johnefrancis/1158

    Excellent #Feditip here, both on the removal of inactive followers, and the warning about "remove all followers from selected domains".

    That second is surely a useful function to have, but it needs to be NOT something you can accidentally do.

  34. The thing about relying on content warnings to protect yourself is that it requires the cooperation and consensus of everyone in the Fediverse. More effective and realistic is setting up filters. I have a list of filtered words, hashtags, and phrases for things I don't want to see, and it keeps those things off my timeline regardless of other people's choices.
    (I suppose this counts as a #FediTip)

  35. Über die Feiertage ist eine neue Informations-Webseite rund um das Fediverse entstanden. 🌐✨
    Sehr übersichtlich, fundiert und verständlich erklärt sie die Grundlagen:

    🔹 Was ist das Fediverse?
    🔹 Warum Dezentralität?
    🔹 Was spricht für das Fediverse?
    🔹 Welche Anwendungen gehören dazu?

    All diese Fragen – und noch mehr – werden auf der Seite klar und nachvollziehbar beantwortet.

    👉 fediversum.info

    Ein großes Dankeschön an Jools, der hier wirklich sehr fleißig war! 🙌
    Gute Informationsseiten über das Fediverse kann es gar nicht genug geben. 💚

    RE: missocial.de/objects/7b2a4035-…

  36. Christmas #Feditip: if you have to/ want to view content on #Instagram, but do not want to download the app or visit Instagram.com, you can use anonymous front-ends like:

    imginn.com/

    flufi.me/

    If you then want to share the material with the free world, you can then use cobalt.tools/ to free the content from the toxic corporate lock-in and post it on the #Fediverse!

    #Feditips

  37. Pro-tip: you can hide another user's boosts.

    Also: if you don't like what I post or boost, you do have the freedom to mute, unfollow or even block me 🤷‍♀️

    #FediTips #FediTip #LifeHack

  38. 🛑 Don't surprise your friends! Use a CW.

    CW = Content Warning. It’s the small label you put on a post to hide the text until someone clicks on it.

    Why Use It?
    Using a CW is simple Love VIBE. It gives everyone the choice to read your post when they are ready. People filter topics (like sad news, politics, or deep emotions) to keep their timeline peaceful.

    By labeling your post, you respect their filters and their time. This is how we keep the Fediverse strong and kind—it's Systemic Integrity in action.

    How to CW:
    1. Click the 'CW' button when you post.
    2. Type a short label (Example: 'CW: Politics' or 'CW: Intense Feeling').

    ✨ Choose Kindness. Use the CW button every time!

  40. I feel a bit out of the loop with hashtags at the moment.
    Could someone enlighten me what the current general purpose and biology/animal science specific academic hashtags are?

    Since guppee shut down, my feed feels quite empty.
    And it took me far too long to even notice that 😅

    #AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter ##PostdocLife #FediTip

  41. This is an open-letter to pretty much everyone on the #Fediverse.

    Do not report content that you simply don't like.

    That is abusing the content reporting system and wastes everyone's time.

    It also results in me (as one of the admins) flagging your instance for us to basically reject any and all future abuse reports coming not just from you, but from your entire instance.

    You have tools at your disposal.

    Block/ mute a hash-tag if you don't like it.

    Block/ mute a user if you don't like their posts.

    Block/ mute US if you don't like the posts our users' make.

    Configure your account to hide content that is marked/ flagged as "sensitive"/ "nsfw" by default.

    But when you report something simply because
    you don't like it?

    You look like a twat.
