Mes serial repoueteurs, je refais la pub de Just my toots, qui permet de filtrer vos pouets à vous, quand on veut remonter votre TL de qualitay ✨

Édit : l'application web phanpy.social prend en charge cette fonction aussi, en allant sur le profil et en filtrant "- partages"

L'option "seulement pouets publics" concerne, j'imagine, la différence entre public et unlisted mais n'a pas l'air de concerner les pouets privés (je ne les vois pas chez moi en tout cas).

There are four main timelines on Mastodon:

Home - Your default timeline, posts from people & tags & groups you follow

Explore/Trending - Shows most boosted recent posts, most used tags, most shared links

Local - Latest public posts from people on your server (also called Live Feeds: This Server)

Federated - Latest public posts visible to your server from across the Fediverse (also called Live Feeds: All)

More info about these on the timelines guide:

C’è un modo per escludere dal feed un determinato hashtag e, se questo hashtag è usato da una persona che seguo, continuare a vedere le altre cose che pubblica?

Less discussed lessons I learned early in my days in the Fediverse, which I hope helped in making me a bit more welcoming, inclusive of a person:
-> Don't assume genders in others.
-> Don't use abbreviations for states or regions. Many people outside of your home country do not know what they mean, nor should they.
-> Don't assume reference points, such as products, geography, or concepts. Sharing supporting web links on neutral places like Wikipedia or images in a post greatly helps in finding a common ground.
-> The Translate feature, when available in your Fediverse browsing tool of choice, helps in connecting with cool people who just don't happen to post in your language of choice.

Are there 3rd party apps to use Mastodon on PC, as there are for mobile?
Where can I find them?

The standard UI seems to limiting to me.

#feditips #fedihelp

If you see "🧵 1/3" or "2/5" or "🧵" or similar at the end of a post, it means it's part of a thread of posts.

You can create a thread here by replying to your own post, then replying to that reply, and repeating this until you have a long chain of posts called a thread.

You can see the thread a post comes from by clicking on it, this takes you to an enlarged view where you can scroll up or down to see the whole thread.

@FediTips

How can I find out what best practice / group conscience is about hashtags in threads?

When I do a thread, I hashtag each post. Another person says I should hashtag the first post but not the rest.

I'd like to search for whether this topic has come up and what people said.

Do I do a poll? A toot? Search a hashtag? Something else?

TIA

If anyone else knows an answer, I'm happy to hear it. Boosts too.

🚀 Admin Tip for Mastodon Instance Operators:

Keep your instance running smoothly by regularly pruning old media files. Use the command:

RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl media remove --days=30

This clears media older than 30 days, saving storage without impacting recent content. Adjust the --days value as needed. 🗂️💾

When you're signing up on a server or moving your account to a different server, you have to choose a username. This is the name that appears when people mention you in posts (when they @ you). It's worth spending a bit of time on choosing a good one, because it's difficult to change it later.

Here are some tips on how to choose a good username:

➡️ fedi.tips/choosing-a-good-user

It also goes over options for changing the username if you have to.

I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:

I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.

Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.

If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

If you receive "Book" or "reach" promoters, report them.

Several have been spotted in the last few days and may generate AI-produced "friendly" chats, setting you up for later slaughter

@MonaApp - here is a post that received hundreds of comments and my feed exploded with meaningless comments for me. I can hide Elena’s post, but can i mute all responses and comments?

In the #Friendica interface this is not a problem. Its just one post with many comments but it doesnt spam my feed.

#FediTips, anyone?

It has come to my attention that "some of you" are unaware your account is set to 'locked boost', so none of us can boost your posts. Totally appreciate for some it's a choice but I've also encountered people frustrated that noone ever boosts them and finding out this is why! Hope this helps at least one person. 😊

Edit - someone kindly pointed out there's no such thing as locked boost - just settings that place restrictions on interactions (like being unable to boost your post)
