  1. Question: How can I make my firefish experience the most like a 2000s forum post? Where can I use animated gifs and how close can I get to a signature?! :D #firefishtips #firefish
    Can people who don't run firefish see this as blurred?!

  2. Pretty much the only thing I miss from Mastodon is the follower/following management panel — it's so useful being able to drop the dormant accounts, particularly given the nature of the Fediverse, and if #firefish has this functionality I'm yet to find it ​:blobcatgooglyshrug:​

  3. #firefishtips #firefish friends, my soft mute for terms isn’t working. Hard mute works. I double-checked I’m using OR and AND conditions correctly. What do?

  4. #Firefish and #Calckey users, I can't stress enough how useful the Preference Backups feature can be!

    Settings > Preference Backups

    Simply click a backup to reveal options for easy loading of custom configs, including themes, wallpaper, plugins, custom css, and post preferences. Back up online and download for safekeeping.

  5. #FirefishTips TIL you can paste a link to another post into the compose box, and it'll ask if you want to quote the post you pasted. This seems to only work for post links on the local instance (so for me, that would be https://firefish.social/notes/...)
    If the post you want to quote isn't on your instance, you can get that link by searching for the post's link in your instance in a new tab, copying that tab's URL, and pasting it back in the box.
    (If you get the red popup when searching, you or them are probably blocked, so you can't quote that post.)

    (This is probably something the Bird did/does but I wasn't on that site very much.)

  6. If you, like me, want notifications on mobile for #Firefish, then (at least on iOS) this works:

    From mobile Firefox tap the hamburger menu in the bottom right corner and then tap share and “add to homescreen.” Then open
    #firefish and login. Then head to settings and notifications and you will be able to enable push notifications!

    And they work!!!!
