#question

Is it redundant to have both a #Mastodon and a #Friendica account? How about a third #Pixelfed account?

Mastodon friends, I just realised my old profile on mastodon.scot is still up there. I switched instances years ago. Maybe I did it wrong or thought I had to keep both. I don’t remember! Is it easy to deleted the original? I don’t want people following that one instead of this account-and it seems the .scot one is very search engine optimised. Advice please! 🙏🏻 #mastodon #ChangingInstances #MastodonAdvice

@pkreissel made an algorithm for mastodon to free us from the tyranny of reverse chronological order and it's totally awesome.

IMHO a customizable algorithm is the only thing mastodon needs to really take things to the next level.

Is there a way to view/use feautured hashtags on mobile? On my phone I can’t see them anywhere. (And on my ipad I only see max three.)
Is it a limitation of the mobile web interface or the default app? (If so, what’s the ‘best’ mastodon app for iOS?)

@FediTips maybe you know the answer? 😊

The use of real names on Mastodon?

I received a (mild) rebuke recently for always referring to my wife here as Mrs Mike.
I always refer to my children as son and daughter.
This set me thinking.

Is it wrong to depersonaluse them like this?

I do it to protect their anonymity.
My wife volunteers at the interface of criminal justice and social services.
My daughter has long term psychiatric issues relating to an abusive marriage.
My son's wife is a police officer who is 'very strongly advised' to obfuscate her own social media life

Should I carry on as I am, give them back their identities, or give them 'false names'?

I"m not satisfied by Mastodon. I thought i would have more engagement on it for the lack of algorithms. Is it because hip hop is a niche topic on the platform or my posts are simply not interesting. If it's the later, how can i improve my posts.

Any advice from experienced mastodon users on how to make the experience more interactive? I miss DMs, threads and the general back and forth I am used to with the bird site. Thanks! #mastodonadvice

Another #MastodonTip :
Be sure to use and check out #hashtags . They are the primary method of following topics on #Mastodon . In some forms of the site (browser is different than the app), you can sign up to follow hashtags. I'm not confident enough how to do that to advise you on it, though.

Also, leave a space before and another after any terms you #hashtag for punctuation etc.

I've (finally) updated my website & linked my Mastodon account. With that came a small flurry of new #invertebrate #MacroPhoto uploads as well as a new #logo - which I ❤️.

https://ecologyfieldnotes.com

I would appreciate it if anyone knows of ways in which to add a #feed of their Mastodon toots to a #Wordpress site - I would very much like to remove the bird site feed in the near future. 🙏

@bethanyhalford My #MastodonAdvice is:

Use hashtags related to the subject of your post. Capitalise the start of words in hashtags so that screen readers don't get confused by then.

You can search for hashtags and even follow hashtags.

Boost liberally. Also don't be afraid to reply to posts, it's a lot more friendly here.

I'm on the Mastodon Art Instance as well as here. I've just looked up my profile and the stuff I boost there doesn't show, I'd be interested to know if you receive it. Also, there are accounts I follow there that I can't see here; I thought the federation thing meant you could see toots everywhere if following. Advice welcome

I saw this advice just after joining Mastodon: In addition to adding ALT text to images/screenshots, etc., always add your hashtags at the end of your post to make it easier for screen readers to read through, oh, and capitalize hashtags with multiple words.
