    This is also the case for several #ActivityPub compatible parts of the Fediverse. Check in the "issue" lists for the packages' git repositories and upvote the priority?

    For the moment we should add this to a #FediverseFAQ + #MastodonFAQ :

    option (1) = copy URL into your instance's search feature and hit <enter>

    option (2) = browser:

    https://MYINSTANCEDOMAINNAME/authorize_interaction?uri=TOOTURL

    but substitute for MYINSTANCEDOMAINNAME and TOOTURL (thanks: @tusooa)

  12. Had a good conversation about #Mastodon at the NP Dev Summit.

    A few questions I couldn't answer,

    * Can an instance block a single user from another instance?
    * Once a user is banned from an instance, is it true they can't migrate that account to another instance since the account is shut down?

  13. Can you only #follow #hashtags on certain servers? Or using certain apps? I'm not having any joy working out how to do it. #MastodonFAQ

  15. Mastodon FAQ: Toot sweet?

    Updated with the following:

    - Can I search for other users on Mastodon?

    - Can I send direct messages on Mastodon?

    - Can I share images via Mastodon? (The answer to which involves me rhapsodising about Mastodon's commitment to accessibility, through providing a lovely 1,500 characters for alt text).

    Please let me know if you have any further Mastodon questions or top tips I should add!

  16. "As with any social medium, Mastodon is only as good as the people that choose to use it and what they choose to say on there. In all likelihood, Mastodon won't be a like-for-like replacement for anything that has gone before. It will be its own thing."

    My latest blog post is an attempt to answer some frequently asked questions for new Mastodon users or the Mastodon-curious.

    Along the way, it takes in some wise words from the following excellent folk: @davidallengreen; @clive; @teago_emplaw; and @Kategl.

    Also featuring some art from the wonderful Winsor McCay, who (I was delighted to discover) was very fond of drawing the mastodon!

  19. Help! Is there a Mastodon FAQ about how to follow people in different Mastodon communities (I don't think that is the right terminology?). I have some addresses for people I want to follow who are on Mastodon (not on glammr) and I've been able to follow some but not others. I am so confused. Thank you. #help #mastodonfaq

    Was ich bisher rauslesen konnte war das der Einsatz von vielen Relays zu einer Ansammlung von Daten führen kann. Gerade Bilder und Medien gönnen sich gerne ein wenig Speicher. Das mit den Suchmaschinen ist mir auch aufgefallen, das Netz ist aufgrund der aktuellen Twitter Panik voll mit Artikeln. #mastodonfaq #hilfemastodon

  21. #MastodonFAQ

    I want to follow 20 people who each toot twice a day and 8 people tooting 40 times/day. Result: 320/360= 89% of toots in my timeline are from my frequent-tooting followers; toots by rarely-tooting followers are swamped by the frequent-tooters.

    Is there a filter that I can enable to subsample my "frequent-tooters"? For example, by a factor of 1/20 so that I get only 20*2 + 8*2 = 48 toots per day, balanced among my followees?

    Does this have to be added to a #Mastodon wishlist?
