Ist Mastodon for #iOS bei euch auch so langsam? Ich breche echt häufig ab, weil ich nicht so lange warten will. Bin im W-LAN. Am PC läuft's schnell. Danke für Tipps. #feditips #fedihelp #fediadmin
The more I'm using mastodon the more I'm falling in love with it as a platform. Definitely still some things I need to get to grips with though.
For example, I follow a lot of hashtags, and despite filtering my language to English only, I am getting plenty of toots coming through in foreign languages. Is there anything I can do about that?

Version 4.2 has made my Mastodon web experience sub-optimal on Safari.
First I noticed the posts column flashing/jerking and redrawing when scrolling. Just awful.
Next I noticed I wasn't getting notifications, then realized I wasn't getting pushes for notifications at all—I have to reload the page.
Now I find I cannot edit the Advanced Interface columns: no "x" to close a column and the hamburger does nothing.
All this so someone somewhere can do a search on our posts. Sigh.
@communist_kangaroo hot damn you made me remember a short sci-fi story I read eons ago just about that. Can't remember author or title, it was something like an old lady living alone in a huge city, waking up disturbed by a noise in the middle of the night and walking across the city to find a running tap, and then writing a letter to a friend of hers saying she was considering moving to a quieter town? #TOMT #fediHelp
I think the neon signs were alive too or something like that.

I am using the @classifier app to build a collection of my LEGO sets. Does someone know of a website that has well documented product images? Currently I can only get a mix of official product shots, some box art and some have the building instructions. So far I know of bricksets.com and rebrickable.com.

My three columns are the same width.
How can I display the middle column wider than the other two, like in the screenshot below?

Is there any way to block that "this is your homebase find things to follow" toot/banner that now shows up ?
Thanks for the tip about hiding particular lists from my home timeline. There are people I have in more than one list. If User1 is on ListA and ListB and I set List B to hide posts from my home timeline, what happens? Does User1 still appear in my timeline because they are in ListA?
When scrolling through my Home timeline on web desktop, if I click on a post and then click to go back, my timeline automatically goes back to the top of my feed and I lose my spot. Anyone having this issue?
Side note: Every time I try to use the hashtag “rocks” it crashes the Metatext app. Weird bug?? 🤔
Is there a Mastodon client that does account discovery as well as the Bluesky app?
The ability to be offered a list of accounts that are followed by your network is very effective for onboarding.
#MastodonTips #FediHelp #FediTips
#FediHelp @fairsocialnet
I don't understand how a certain account has all its posts reaching my instance, with no public follow or boost links between them, no group, no relay server that I know of.
I find it improbable that a genuine user on tooting.ch has looked up all these posts manually by their url. The account's content [@peterrsjensen] matches what a #Russian #influenceCampaign could try to propagate.
And one more thing! Your home feed doesn't just have to be accounts that you already know about. You can follow the hashtag directly, and you will see posts with that hashtag regardless of whether you follow the user.
I'm trying to automate as many of my repetitive work tasks as possible, using MS Flow (as we're a pretty much exclusive MS shop here).
I've got it updating my location in #MSTeams based on my calendar already. And auto setting up OoO replies, and stuff based on my Outlook calendar.
However, I would also like it to update my email #signature in Outlook with my working location.
Is this possible in #PowerAutomate? Or is this a desktop/machine setting only in #Outlook? Boosts welcome #FediHelp
So, es ist soweit, bei meinem 5,5 Jahre alten Wischkästchen macht der Akku schlapp. Etwas neu(er)es muss her, da ein bisschen mehr Leitung auch toll wäre; doch was kauft man da heutzutage?

I need help, fedizens. :AAAAAA:
first attempt to run my own @pixelfed instance on a Docker stack seemed successful, after many issues and resolutions to them. the stack is running, no errors on the logs of the containers. but when I access the URL on my browser, I get ERROR 500. when I access via the local IP and port, it opens the Pixelfed site, but on a "Sorry, this page isn't available" page.
I am honestly lost right now.

When choosing a perspective server, is there any way to check if the new server is federated with any given server?
How can I check if I will still be able to connect to my friends on other servers before making that new account?
#Mastodon #MastodonHelp #fediTips #fedihelp
If we're supposed to use camel case for our hashtags so screen readers can parse them, why do all the "suggested/autocorrected" hashtags on the website and the apps exclusively use lowercase letters?
There's some synergy missing here and it's frustrating, especially given how hashtags are basically mandatory

My Mastodon instance is closing and I have to move to another one. Any suggestion where to go? #mastodonmigration #mastodonhelp #fedihelp
EDIT: I'm in the UK!
Okay, so there's something going on around me that I can't tolerate and I'm gearing up to take a run at it.
I've been asking for a lot of #FediHelp recently, but...
I'm looking for good quality investigative journalism, government white papers, scholarly articles, etc., about the abusive practises of:
* Cleaning firms
* Security firms (the sort that hire out security guards, rather than the ones who hire out mercenaries.)
Any recs would be welcome.
some years ago, somebody posted on mastodon that they produced a zine that contained simple graphical representations of different drum patterns. anyone remembers this? who was it? is this still available?

Hello you all!
Can I ask you for a bit of #FediHelp for a little fun project?
I want to create a #language #map for how people colloquially refer to the nether #underwear item.
Like:
English (England):
F: knickers
M: (under)pants
German (Germany):
F+M: Unterhose
F: Höschen, Slip, Schlüpper
Spanish (Argentina):
F: bombacha
M: calzoncillos
I think, you get the idea.
#Boost, if you feel like it.
Cheers!
(This will stay pinned for a week or so)
@paolog @bri_seven I think that's why instance migrations are required. Followers are the one part of the account that migration handles.
I have no clue what the tech explanation for that is.
Anybody out there have enough knowledge and time to help us understand why, or maybe how we at least get a text file of our followers?
Huch, https://mastodon.lol ist down. Was ist denn da los? Anscheinend nichts mehr, oder?

Does anybody use #GnuCash? I want to use it instead of the terrible online-banking of my different banks... but I am failing completely at this 🤯
I have got the AqBanking connection to the DKB set up, but what now?
I thought I'd get a list of the recent transactions and the current balance.
Shouldn't this maybe be the default thing to display? How do I do this?
hey, I could use some #FediHelp and I'm starting at square one on Fediverse- and Mastodon-specific knowledge. I have okay, if outdated, general Internet knowledge.
I'm using the Mastodon app on Android, and don't know how to approve follow requests there.
Also, when I've tried to go to https://kolektiva.social/@holyramenempire and the follow_requests page associated with my account, the page that loads is blank. Tried on Chrome and the DuckDuckGo browser on Android, Chrome on Chromebook.
The weird thing is that all functions used to work just fine on Chrome on Android, and now even trying to navigate to kolektiva.social there loads a blank page. I think it's been like this for a few months, at least.
What's up with that?

#fedihelp I set a filter to hide all toots containing the word “basketball”, but I still see toots containing hyphenated terms where “basketball” is the first part (namely “Basketball-Weltmeister”).
I set it to hide all toots in my timeline as well as public timelines. The toot in question was boosted by somebody I follow.
Is there a way to hide ALL toots that contain a certain word, even if it doesn’t stand “by itself”? #feditips

I'm having some issues with my #Pixelfed instance. I want to place a [ü] U-umlaut in my bio, as I want to say "I live in Düsseldorf".
Everytime I submit "Düsseldorf" it gets changed to "Dü@üsseldorf". I ended up removing it, but then the word is wrong.
That's my profile: @xavi@ladragonera.com
I also tried to submit "Düsseldorf" with no luck.
Does anyone have any clue?
My #Pixelfed instance’s federated timeline does not work ; in the sense that it only contains my posts. It seems to federate properly as Fav, Boost and Follow work inbound&outbound.
Any ideas on what I missed / failed ?
Can someone explain how I have 5 follow requests when I have never set my account to require follow requests?
I found them by accident looking at my account settings just now

I'm refreshing my email signature and need your help! I've built aesthetic signatures in the past, but I never thought about accessibility. Time to change that! Any #hacks, recommendations or best practices?

I really appreciate your help, thanks❤️

My fiancée’s Gender Affirmation Surgery was suddenly moved up to the 15th! This gives us no time to bring in more freelance work to cover the cost of living, necessary recovery items & outsourcing of manual labor Iris does at home as I’m disabled & she’s my caretaker. It also comes while she’s unemployed on the job hunt, which she’ll have to postpone while recovering.

#Reminder that you don’t need a reason to mute or block an account. You don’t even have to explain it to anyone or announce it.
You can even mute entire servers.
You can filter words.
You can follow hashtags and make lists.
You can setup notifications for your favorite people, so when they post, you get notified.
Maybe what drives people from the #Fediverse isn’t the #TonePolice, #CW #CultureWarriors, #ReplyGuys, server implosions, or #Trolls; maybe it’s the personal responsibility of the #ChooseYourOwnAdventure aspect?
Maybe, like using #Windows instead of #Linux, a lot of people just don’t want to be given the reins?

Questions:
1. What kind of #Fediverse platforms with no character limits for posts have comfortable scheduling tools (such as Buffer, which I currently use for Mastodon)? That is to say, I'd need to be able to schedule variable-length posts with images _and_ alt texts for weeks in advance.
2. Is there a way to auto-boost posts from a specific other Fediverse account on my main Mastodon account?

Does anyone know of a #FOSS or #opensource project that will #selfhost a #library card catalogue system? I'd like to start loaning out gear and items and such, including media and books. Could really benefit from a way to manage patrons and the contents of the catalogue.

So yes, after using it for a bunch of days. I can highly recommand Graze for Mastodon: https://graze.jaredzimmerman.com/
It is a browser extension and let's you fav from your profile on remote instances, without the copy and paste link shenanigans.

I set up an account for @catalystcoop and am now trying to manage being logged in to two Mastodon accounts simultaneously. The accounts are on different servers, so this seems to mostly work okay, but whenever I click on the follow button, it tries to follow as me, not Catalyst.
Is there some way to get it to ask who I want to follow as? It's doing this even with mastodon.energy in a Firefox container tab or a private browsing window. #FediTips #FediHelp
