@unattributed I'm sorry. Wonder when that was changed?
@unattributed if using android os id highly suggest moon+ reader (pro). Been using it since it came out. Pairs nicely with calibre and Gutenberg press
@unattributed books you've uploaded can be found in your Google takeout.
Once again asking people to use Actual Names spelled correctly so filters can pick them up.
I donβt really want to add colors and chip/crisp names to my filters for US pol but I guess I might need to.
@tsyum I'm quite fond of TICKTICK (available on Web, WIN, IOS, MAC, ANDROID) is task/calendar management. Bonus for also covering Habit track (separate from tasks) and also can make actual notes. Allows for tagging, some themes (light and dark and a few others depending on device) and limited google/ical integration (read only and 2way sync) free level has almost everything, the subscription is less than 3 US$. hope maybe this might be something at least close to what your looking for.
Just an FYI. If you are dealing with spambots DMing you, you can easily stop their attempts.
Go to your settings, then Notifications, and under "Other Notification Settings", check the box for "Block direct messages from people you don't follow".
@bitingcat hello and thank you.
An #introduction because well i forgot to do one here.
Hi! π
I'm #Neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic #Spoonie #Hypermobile #POTS #Disabled #Nonbinary Gen-X.
Pronouns: They/Them
I try really hard to remember accessibility tools (ALT Text).
Still learning how this all works. Not great at social media in general. Previously found with the same handle on the birdsite, @ascheryn.bsky.social and several other instances (weirder.earth and neurodifferent.me specifically).
Patience with me please?
@ratcatcher correct, they will get a notification when your new account follows them. So i agree its not as smooth as the migrate, but everyone that gets the notifs can just refollow. again not a full smooth transition, but its how i keep this account (mastodon(dot)social) "synced" with following etc with my (neurodifferent(dot)me) account. again not a full solution but a stop gap until whatever is not working properly over there is fixed.
@ratcatcher you can go into your neurodiff account settings/import and export/ data export. download (no waiting) your follows/bookmarks/lists/mutes/etc. once you have all the ones you want, go into your new account, same except go to IMPORT. select each thing you downloaded (so follows for ex) point it at your newly downloaded file and tell it to MERGE instead of overwrite.
doesnt solve issue of people following back but, will get you everyone you followed/blocks/lists on the old account
Day 1
Where am I? Is this the Fediverse? What is the Mastodon? How do I Calckey? Am I Pixelfed? Do I Lemmy?

What I've learned so far about the #Fediverse (#Mastodon #Calckey #Pixelfed #Lemmy etc) condensed to help others.
#1 understanding is I make friends across multiple apps/platforms all at once.
Everyone is connected together across apps and platforms in the Fediverse. I can surf the #Fediverse with multiple cool software & platforms, yet I can keep my friends & connections. I no longer lose everything when I use new Fediverse platforms as well or instead in the future.

okay more new user tips
content warnings are extremely important here
they're ingrained in our culture
they're not censorship, but rather consent
they allow someone to decide if they wanna engage with your post, and if so on what terms
they're a courtesy, and you have legiterally no reason to not use them as much as possible
they're one of the best features mastodon has
think of it like a subject line or a title for your post
you're MORE LIKELY to get "engagement" if you use them right
Search is different on Mastodon π You can't just search for a specific word or phrase. And that is a conscious design choice.
You can ONLY search for:
#οΈβ£ Hashtags
π Usernames
π URLs (of users or specific posts)
This helps combat harassment and users being targeted for their toots. It helps foster a safe space π€
If you do want to talk openly on a topic, use a hashtag! Or join a discussion happening on your feeds. But most importantly, stay safe #mastotips #feditips
Are you new to Mastodon? Do you need some help? Do you want a simple guide to how Mastodon works?
Check out my website, it answers lots and lots of questions you might have:
β‘οΈ https://fedi.tips
It's written in non-technical language, and aimed at a general audience. If you're new here and feeling a bit lost, this is the site for you!
(There are also tips for advanced users in a separate section of the site.)

Some quick #Mastodon tips for the #TwitterMigration crew.
β©1. To DM someone click on the πicon when you bring up the message editor. You also have other options like sending messages to only your followers.
2. Toots = Tweets
3. Boost = Retweet
4. Birdsite = Twitter
5. There is no Quote Toot with comment. This is by design. Mastodon is much less stressful IMO than the birdsite.
Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):
- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhoneβs native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)
See all changes here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1
Thanks, @Gargron and @Mastodon Team. #Mastodon4
