  22. Did you know that Mastodon allows you to schedule posts to be published in the future rather than immediately?
    You can be forgiven not for knowing this, since the official web and Android app don't expose this functionality!
    There are other clients that do, though. For example, the Tusky client for Android has a clock button under the text area when you're composing, that you can tap on to specify the date and time when you want the post to be published.

    (Ditto for any other situation where the location is actually relevant. Sheesh. People fail at this ALL THE TIME. It's ridiculous.)

  33. Good morning #writers community!

    I am looking for a planning software in which I can keep track of my whole dissertation project, something that allow me to break down the different chapters, and tracking my daily progress, task, and how far I am.

    I would love something private and offline. Any suggestion?

  41. 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 feel like you don't "need" to. Normalize sharing pronouns!

  42. 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?
