@drewphish @chopaganda it works really well with the pinned hashtag thing, you can essentially have extra columns as saved hashtag searches for specific interests

@drewphish @DrLeonJ they were just trying to keep up with ARU 😅

@chip what I really need is something focused on moderation as opposed to admin though

@chip thanks for these, I've seen the DMCA one

@Ludicculus absolutely - in theory the decentralization should be much more upside than down, but in practice? We'll see. I'm interested and optimistic at the moment but there are many ways it could go wrong

Who's got a guide to being an admin/moderator on a masto server? Besides the little bit at fedi.tips and the official docs. Thanks

#admins #adminsofmastodon #Moderation

@chopaganda great tips. In the web version I recommend turning on the "advanced interface" which is a tweetdeck-like multi column view, that's another nice one.

Want to make more sense of this platform?

Download Ice Cubes for iOS or Tusky for Android. Scrap the Mastodon app.

Why?

1–They look/feel more like Twitter

2–Follow people, post, and have fun.

Hope that’s helps. Please boost if useful.

50 years ago tonight, the #gratefuldead in houston, finishing a weekend. another night originally scheduled with the allman bros. late fall ’72, show #7. soundboard: https://archive.org/details/gd1972-11-19.122784.sbd.miller-gans.flac24 [1/3]

Hi all,
I have created a mastodon server for anyone involved with the performing arts. From stage managers to runners, from camera people to actors, and all those in between. Come join me here: https://performingart.online

Yes I know, I'm not on there yet. I'm looking at migrating my account over tonight. 🙂

@musicloverchick I'm in the Tusky android app and using a phone keyboard with gif support. I can just add gifs directly as I type, like in the screen shot

@velvetseawader Tusky seems great yeah

@Ludicculus also tbh we just kinda want to try it and see. Open source community projects are fun for a certain kind of person. It's a cooperative not competitive thing... If this is gonna work we want to have options

@musicloverchick also you can just call them posts

@musicloverchick yeah while there isn't built in support for it, if your keyboard or other app has gif support you should be able to just drop em in... Random example included

@darkstar91970 sure, of course

@helbonikster will be open to all though we may cap total users if it takes off

@Ludicculus minor differences if any. I think it's good to have multiple options to spread the load out across servers. That's part of the design convept of the fediverse

Working on a Heads mastodon instance with the Jerrybase crew...should be available this weekend I think
