#MastoHelper
Hi all! Looking for recommendations for which #Android #Mastodon app would be best for a beginner/non-tech savvy person. I’m helping a family member set up an account for the first time, I’m familiar with the iOS apps but they use android. I’m aware there are a lot available, so specifically looking for feedback re: which app(s) would be most user-friendly/least overwhelming for a first-timer. Ideas?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
@PsiconLab I’m happy to help answer any questions if I can. Also try tagging #MastoHelper.
@feditips #MastoHelp Paging #MastoHelper please
I'm a #NewMastodian, recently arrived from the ToXic Hellsite.
How do I boost a toot *and* attach hashtags for greater targeted reach?
Or direct a boosted toot to an addressee?
Have given this some thought - perhaps it's not possible here, to prevent negative behaviour eg pile-ons.
Hey, everyone! It's #WelcomeWednesday. It's a day set aside to help newbies and other folks needing help in Mastodon.
If you're ever confused, and unsure of things around here, simply ask your question, tagging it with the hashtag #mastoHelper. That will summon some very kind people to help you - no judgment! They Will come two your thread and with with you to clear things up.
@mister_goldfish Thanks for your reply. No worries, I can return to your posts from time to time and space out my boosts. Keep up the good news, I really appreciate it!
I’m sure there must be an app that allows timed posts. I wonder if any of my followers know?
Hat jemand eine Idee, warum der „Ausklappen“-Pfeil vor „Rubrik A“ partout nicht nach unten zeigen will? 🥴
To get started, you MUST use tags liberally (and you can even follow them!) on every post until you find people to connect with. There is no global search like on Twitter/Eks.
Here's some tags that might help you:
#Mastohelper
#help
#introductions
Checking out @FediFollows and also be sure to follow lots of admins of instances, including yoyr own (programming.dev).
Petite question pour les #mastohelper moi qui suit encore débutant par ici mais néanmoins bien décidé à terminer définitivement ma #twittermigration !
J'avais pris l'habitude d'utiliser #birdmakeup pour rapatrier dans mon flux les tweets de quelques personnes qui ne sont pas encore sur #mastodon (ou dont le compte est en jachère ici) mais que je souhaite continuer à suivre. (1/3)
@DystopianGirl Hi! If you need any tips or have questions tag #MastoHelper or #MastoHelp Glad you're here!! 😊
@Tremone66 Welcome! If you want any support or anything, try the hashtag #MastoHelper
Let’s engage with everyone doing #TweetlessTuesday and make them feel welcome here!
Wow. 1000 people boosted my post about being nice and helpful to #Mastodon newbies and a whole bunch said they wanted to be a #MastoHelper
This place is pretty awesome. 💕

I like toot.io but the 500 character limit is getting very tiresome because of the importance of hashtags. Anyone got suggestions for other instances that also don't have overly trigger happy moderators but do have a longer limit?
Thanks!

@deejayy @RPD0911@mastodon.online @dogsR @almostconverge@kozterulethasznalatienge.day @zilahu @penticore @RoePipi ez jó felvetés, a fedi is tényleg olyan szleng amit valószínűleg nem ért aki most jött ikszről :)
A #mastohelper jó lehet, persze csak ha az új ember túltette magát a kötelező maszto-maszturbáció áthalláson, elsütötte az obligát szóvicceket és készen áll a megismerésre 😄
@drdrstrange I use them liberally and follow or mute many. I often use location hashtags if relevant because as far as I know there’s no way to add a location. I use some straightforward topic-related ones, then there are some punny ones that are popular on here (e.g. #LichenSubscribe, #BloomScrolling) I even ask people for hashtag suggestions if I’m not sure, because you can edit posts here. Good luck!
By the way, I do get suggestions in my app (Ivory) when I start typing them.
@drdrstrange Hashtags here are more for search than anything, think of them like tags. If you're looking for a topic go into search and search by hashtag. The platform doesn't autocomplete because there are no algorithms tracking hashtag use, etc.. A reminder you can also follow a hashtag here, so if you find a useful hashtag you follow it and add it to a list just like a followed user. Maybe others have something to add #HashTags #MastoHelper
If anyone is new to Mastodon and struggling with the platform please ask me anything you want. I'd be very happy to help! I assure you there are no bad questions.
#welcome #MastoHelper #questions #help
I see lots of #mastohelper around the place. This is already looking like a welcoming community. I was on Twitter for a long time, and this interface looks familiar, so I feel I'm quite experienced. However, do let me know if there are different things I need to know.
