Hmm just realized I don't see toots from some of the people I follow in my feed. They are on other instances. I thought #mastodon was supposed to pull their toots for me after I follow them? Is this not how it works? If I open up their profile I see their toots that they made after I subscribed to them. #issue #mastodonquestion

Is it just me or did the number of interactions on Mastodon go down?

Since two or three weeks I get much less interaction with posts, there is a huge chance that my posts are just boring but before that the interaction was noticeable higher.

How do you perceive that?

I've heard that all c.im accounts are blocked by some other servers just because this server has so many people and some of them misbehave. Is that true? If so, is there a place that shows which servers are blocked by which?

I know I could probably comb through a block list CSV file, but it seems like I'd have to wade through a lot of individual accounts before finding which servers were blocked.

I've read advice that I should just find a server with a small population and it probably won't be blocked.

I'm wondering if that's one reason why my posts don't get much engagement. It could just be that they aren't good posts! But I get a lot of engagement from strangers over at pixelfed and almost nothing here.

I'm using the official #Mastodon app for #Android, where some posts get duplicated when I browse the timeline. Does anyone have the same problem?

Long ago, when I used Twitter, I never tried lists. And Tumblr I don't think ever had the feature. I'm using them now on #mastodon to make lists for vibes, lulz, pol, etc. The only thing I wish I could do is add certain hashtags I'm following to a list. Or have some way of quickly jumping to a fav hashtag to peruse. Maybe I'll just have to be content with making a pinned post with all my fav hashtags then. Do you have a way of perusing your fav hashtags?

@mastodon How is the number of statuses in the last 4 hours 130 times more than the number of users?

There have to be some #bots sending a lot of spam. #MastodonQuestion #mastodon #spam

Is it possible to follow the Explore > News tab at journa.host, either in a Mastodon app like Tusky, or via RSS?

I noticed a while ago that it appears my Mastodon instance defederated Threads.

Which fine.

But today, I noticed that it looks like that resulted in my account silently unfollowing everyone on threads. Is that how the Mastodon software works? So even if I move to another instance, the list of people I once followed is lost forever?

Can someone fill me in on the meaning of #Fensterfreitag / #WindowFriday ? I keep seeing it every week and I love the pictures! Though I feel like I am missing out on something not knowing if there is something more to it.

Can we talk about the "Long Thread 1/X" problem?

I understand the need for character limits but it is:
- A bad reading experience with having to scroll to find the 1 in the series then being interrupted with other posts in between
- Floods your feed
-Annoying for a poster to manage and edit

Can we get a feature that allows for a longer post and "click to expand" button?

(and yes i know i can mute. I genuinely want to hear what they say, just not like this)

Hey #mastodonhelp

Je fais le #blackoutmeta et j'aimerais trouver des ressources sur le Fediverse pour suivre l'actualité de la #Palestine et ce qui se passe à #Gaza

Idéalement des sources en français, par exemple comme letstalkpalestinefr sur Instagram

Merci ☺️

Why do we have to opt out of porn (in too many ways to catch it all) when it should be opt in? Are ACE and kids encouraged to join Mastodon or not?

Porn is just as much of an obnoxious timewaster as AI.

I've been on mastodon for a while and there's one thing I still don't get: what is the star actually FOR? #MastodonQuestion

Is there a way to add hashtags to lists? For example, I want to make a local list by adding hashtags for all the nearby cities.

Just saw on #Bluesky the ability to import your tweets from x. Is that possible here? #MastodonQuestion

Why am I seeing, in my normal timeline, posts from a bridged bluesky account that I am not following?
And also when I try to mute it (just mute, not block) it says that this will block all of the bridge domain (bsky.brid.gy) and remove my followers from that domain, when I just want to mute the 1 account 🤔
Oh and also the posts are shown as being 8y old🤔🤔

If I ever try to look at my notifications I get bounced out of the app. This has been happening for the last week now. Is anyone else experiencing this?
