Föderation EN Mi 26.03.2025 17:47:42 Every account on Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse has a unique "Fediverse address" like this: @ (user) @ (server) You can see an account's address on its profile page, and it's also on all posts below the username. Fediverse addresses let you easily follow any Fediverse account by pasting the address into your server's search box. It works with addresses from all kinds of Fedi servers including Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube etc. Lots more info at: |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 01:00:41 @FediTips Whenever anyone tells me it's confusing, I like to remind them that it's exactly the same as an email address. You have a username and then the domain of the service that hosts it. |

Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 02:12:25 @FediTips what's the logo in the bottom left? never seen that one before |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 08:51:28 @GroupNebula563 @FediTips Do you mean Owncast? https://owncast.online/ |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 09:00:22 Yup, it's OwnCast, a Twitch-style livestreaming platform on the Fediverse. More info at https://fedi.tips/owncast-live-streaming-and-chat-on-the-fediverse/ |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 10:01:41 @FediTips @felixilef awesome, thanks! had heard of the platform, no idea of the logo though |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 02:18:09 @FediTips Actually found this useful. Found a bunch of new accounts to follow! Missing a fun Photoshop account tho. Kinda like Photoshop Battles or something... that would be fun! |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 09:12:50 Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to keep an eye out for something like that! |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 14:30:36 @FediTips hmm, I wonder if I'm on there lol |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 17:42:45 @FediTips got any tip or site to point me to that explains why toots are showing up in my "Following" feed but I don't follow them at all, nor has anyone I follow engaged with their content? I've seen content showing up in this feed lately and wondering why. |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 18:35:22 It's probably because you're following hashtags that are in those toots? You can check which hashtags you follow by going to your profile page. If you're on the official app you can click the # at the top to see your followed tags. If you're on the website click ... and then "followed hashtags". Third party apps have various interfaces for checking. |
Föderation EN Fr 28.03.2025 11:42:30 @FediTips thank you and yes! That was it. Understand. Fixed! |
Föderation EN Fr 28.03.2025 12:11:51 Okay, glad to hear it worked! A number of people have asked about this same thing lately, I'll do a post about it. Maybe Mastodon needs to label these hashtag-subscription posts so people understand where they are coming from? |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 04:09:24 @FediTips sounds good. Thanks for the help. |
