  2. #Mastodon Experts: Why do some URLs show thumbnail previews, and some do not? For example, if I share a YouTube link, my post shows a generic YouTube gray thumbnail. On other user’s posts, sometimes it’s literally just the URL text at the bottom of their posts, without any thumbnail. Finally, on other user’s posts, there is a thumbnail preview. What causes this?

    Thanks in advance!

  3. @fulelo oh how strange! Someone else just followed me yesterday! Maybe there is someone who know why you can't follow me? #mastohelp #mastodonhelp4newbies #mastodonhelp

  4. So I've been using the #mastodon app and it doesn't exactly work correctly every day so does anyone know if there's a better app to use for it? My notifications won't go away most of the time and I don't get notifications for everything and I miss stuff that otherwise I'd reply to.

    So if anyone has a suggestion, please let me know ✌️💜

    One of the best aspects of Mastodon is the friendly, welcoming culture. People are eager to help. Real people. And the people who are helping are doing so because they like helping. If you have questions about Mastodon, try using these hashtags with your question. 🙂 I'll bet nobody asks you for your phone number.

  10. Can anyone recommend the best app for accessing Mastodon on? I've tried Ivory, but there are a lot of strange blanks 🤷

    Thanks in advance!

  11. Does anyone know if there’s a way to make the news feed more appropriate for me? It’s incredibly USA centric. A historic thing happened today with the Northern Ireland protocol and not a peep on the news page

  16. I forgot to add a text reader description to my last post but when I try and edit to add it, it comes up with an error. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't want to delete and redo the post as I only noticed hours later, and it has comments.

  17. Dearest peers, is there a way to comment something you boost? Like, to give context or add extra info to a boost? Thank you!

  18. Mastodon Tips:

    ▶️ You can mark spoiler(any other warning label) by clicking "CW" icon in your editor

    ▶️ Other Mastodon users will see the label. If they want, they can click show more to see the full content

    For example, i encourage my #RustChallenge solvers to use spoiler in their answers.

    Hope this helps someone out there 🙂

  19. I am currently using Mastodon's official app but I keep hearing about other apps that let you follow hashtags. Although I see the official app has added this to its IOS version, so I assume, at some point, the android app will get this feature too? But this would be a very handy feature to have.

    What app are you using? Should I swap?

    Hi! Some people are on server instances where the max char count is much higher than 500 chars. And it seems this is a hack or compile time option?

    But.... is there a way I can do this with ActivityPub tools like WriteFreely or Plume and then embed my text from there into a toot here? Or do I need to find (or create) an instance for this purpose?

  21. The only website I have is an Adobe Portfolio site that is linked to my Behance account. I do have my own domain redirected to it. I don’t think I can create a button or text link with the Mastodon verification anchor tag. Adobe also restricts what can be in an iframe to certain major companies like YouTube. Anyone know a workaround so I can verify using what I have described? #MastodonHelp #MastodonHelp4Newbies #verification

  22. #twittermigration so what actually comes up exactly in your home tab in #mastodon ? I can see toots from other communities #mastodonhelp4newbies

  23. Any tips on how to sort my timeline here. You all are tooting tonmuch 😅♥️. #mastodontips #Mastodonhelp4newbies

  24. Some folks are seeing “request to follow” when I don’t have my account set that way. Is that a bug or a server setting or? (And where do I go to approve?) #Mastodonhelp4newbies

  25. Hi, I'm new to the Fediverse. Why cant I sign onto my Mastodon account on my computer? I'm using the same account and password as on my phone. Thanks! #newuser #mastodonhelp4newbies
