    Lastly, using relevant hashtags in your posts makes it more likely that folks with similar interests can find you!

  3. Was muss ich als user im #Mastodon einstellen, dass ich wieder Boosts in meiner Home-timeline habe? Ich übersehe da doch irgendwas...

    Ich sehe nur noch Posts und vermisse die Boosts.

  9. A reminder to anyone on Mastodon that there are some hashtags that you might want to mute, rather than unfollow a person.

  11. I want to share NotifyBot more widely and invite people to try it out.

    notifybot.jampdx.net

    It's a bot that lets you know when posts have been made to hashtags you want to follow. The use case is to make sure you don't miss posts with occasionally used (but important to you) hashtags.

    Check it out. Let all your friends and family know. Lemme know if you have any questions or feedback.

  13. Say a mastodon.social (for example) user searches for a post on a remote server, which causes mastodon.social to fetch that post to be available locally on mastodon.social.

    If a *different* mastodon.social user, or even that same user, searches for that same post on a remote server, does mastodon.social just retrieve the locally stored copy, or does it query the remote server every single time someone searches for it?

  16. If you've recently joined the fediverse, and are maybe on a smaller server, things might feel a bit isolated.

    Fediverse does require a little more effort compared to traditional social media. This is where the community has really stepped in and created some great tools, like these bots that share trending posts from servers across the fediverse.

  19. Curious what the deal is with #Mastodom accounts like this (a universeodon.com account) on the #Fediverse, that is following 1,900 accounts, has 3,100 following accounts, 0 posts or replies, and is 2 days old. Enabling Approval for Follow Requests helps identify these.

  21. Tip for #2026:
    In this new year, don't give money to the rich. They will spend it all on cocaine, imported whisky, prostitution involving trafficked human beings, fanatical evangelical churches, and financing fascist parties. Instead, donate to a homeless person who supports the national red wine industry.

    (I stole and adapted the idea from a post on lemmygrad.ml 🤓😉)

  22. Una buena regla de etiqueta fediversal podría ser:

    a) no compartir para leer una nota si es de una web que decide bloquear el acceso a su lectura a quien no se registra en ella (o, en otros casos, a quien no se suscribe y paga).

    b) compartirla, pero avisando que se está compartiendo una nota que lxs demás posiblemente no puedan leer.

    c) compartirla, pero tomándose el trabajo de hacerla accesible de algún modo (archive.is/ es una buena opción, aunque también podría subirse a otro lado, pegarla completa en el toot, o algo que permita materializar el sentido de propagarla).

  23. Welcome to the Fediverse! 👋 This is your home now, and we're all about high-VIBE (Knowledge + Love).

    If you’re new to Mastodon, remember the rules are friendlier, but different!

    Think of it like a bunch of connected treehouses—we help each other find the good stuff. 🌳

    ---
    Fedi Field Guide: Quick Start (1/3)
    ---

    1️⃣ Make Posts Discoverable: Hashtags are the only way folks can find your amazing posts here. Use 3-5 good, relevant tags. That's the sweet spot!

    2️⃣ Use #CamelCase: This is critical! It means capitalizing the first letter of each word in your tag (like #FunTimes).

    Why? Because it makes tags readable for everyone, especially those using screen readers. Accessibility is a core part of the Love VIBE. ❤️

  28. Un mot sur la fonction de citation ici !

    Si vous ne parvenez pas à citer mes posts, c'est un choix : seuls les abonnés sont autorisés à utiliser le quote-toot. 🔒

    C'est une mesure simple de modération pour éviter le détournement de mes publications et le harcèlement. Je préfère interagir avec un cercle engagé et respectueux.

    Pour citer, il suffit de s'abonner ! Merci de votre compréhension. 🙏

  30. Recuerda bajar los archivos CSV de seguidores y seguidos de vez en cuando.

    La migración entre instancias solo funciona si tanto instancia A y B están en línea.

    (Yo suelo hacerlo cada mes)

    He visto en reddit un usuario que no tenia los CSV descargados y sorpresa hace 2 semanas, de un dia para otro la instancia desapareció, el admin también y adiós el gráfico social...

    :NKO_batido:

  31. If I want my Mastodon profile to be labelled as +18, for some reason (like putting a link to a certain website on my bio and not letting everybody to see it recklessly)... how do I do that? :blobcatthink:

  33. "Why didn't I figure this out years ago department" stuff...

    I tried setting some of my favorite accounts to "receive all notifications" and that was a big mistake! So, I've been putting those accounts into an A-List list so hopefully I won't miss any posts from my favs (without blowing my notifications up).
