Posting tips and answering questions about how to use Mastodon and the Fediverse 🌍

There are lots of guides on my site at fedi.tips. If you can't find your answer @ or DM me, there's no such thing as a silly question!

In response to feedback, I've tweaked the Fedi.Tips guide to transferring your Mastodon account to another server:

➡️ fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

It's still the same instructions but I've tried to make the language clearer, and spread them out over a few more steps so that each step is as easy as possible.

Also added some more answers to common questions about transfers.

If you have any questions about transferring your account, no matter how simple, feel free to ask 🙂

recommendation, there's a rogue server cloning lots of real accounts so it can impersonate them. There is no legitimate reason for such behaviour, admins should suspend it ASAP:

mastodon.arell.ai

Admins might want to suspend the main domain:

arell.ai

This would be good in case the owner tries the same stunt on a different subdomain. Blocking the main domain also blocks all of its subdomains.

Mentioning an account is also known as @-ing because you type @ and then the name of the account. It's also known as tagging a person.

I've done a full guide all about mentions on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:

➡️ fedi.tips/what-are-mentions-on

Hopefully this answers all the questions people have about this topic. Let me know if I've missed something 🙂

In case you missed it, I run an account to highlight the best videos and livestreams on the Fediverse:

➡️ @FediVideo

I also run a website where you can safely browse and search the best of PeerTube:

➡️ fedi.video

The accounts listed are handpicked to maintain a level of quality and safety. The playlists are human-curated.

You can follow PeerTube accounts and interact with PeerTube videos entirely within Mastodon etc. More info at fedi.tips/how-do-i-use-peertub

@alexz

ClearlyClaire (the other person in that issue) is one of the main developers on Mastodon. I'd recommend following up in the issue over there if you can.

Can you copy-paste the address into the search box on your own instance as a workaround?

If you want to post photos, videos or audio on Mastodon, here's a guide all about it:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-post-images

The guide tries to answer common questions about media attachments on Mastodon, including which kinds of files can be uploaded and how large they can be.

If you have any questions not covered by the guide, feel free to ask in the replies 🙂

There are lots of places where beginners can find out more about using Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:

➡️ fedi.tips/what-do-i-do-next-ar

Especially want to draw attention to the excellent video "Introducing the Fediverse" by @_elena which is now in three languages:

🇬🇧 videos.elenarossini.com/w/64Vu
🇫🇷 videos.elenarossini.com/w/hxzy
🇮🇹 videos.elenarossini.com/w/peti

(Also, the English-language video includes subtitles in more than a dozen other languages, click ⚙️ to choose one and then CC to activate.)

@en3py

Yup, definitely. Being able to directly speak to server admins is one of the best things about the Fediverse. It's possible because each server is so comparatively small.

It's pretty much impossible to reach a human being on services run by tech giants.

If you want to customise what is on your main Mastodon timeline, there are lots of ways of tweaking it listed in this guide:

➡️ fedi.tips/does-mastodon-and-th

The guide also mentions that there is no algorithm in your Mastodon timeline. The only posts you see are from accounts and hashtags you follow, or posts that are shared by accounts you follow.

If you see a reply shared out of context, you can view the thread it comes from by just clicking on the reply.

Clicking on a reply or post takes you to an enlarged view of it, with the rest of the thread visible by scrolling up or down.

(I know this is obvious to some people but not to everyone. How to view a reply's context regularly comes up as a question.)
