We’ve been amazed by the support the Fediverse has shown us after we launched our Community Feeds. Thank you.

Don’t forget, if you want to subscribe to our Community Feeds, we recommend you add them to a list and remove from your home feed. @FediTips has made a useful guide you can see here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

@ellane Yes, as has been said already (sorry to repeat), one can follow the hashtag and have lots of lovely posts come up in your home feed that one may not have seen otherwise.

But what I'm thinking of, is because I like to curate my intake of content, it would be great if we could add the obsidian tag to one of our #MastodonLists , and then set that list to only show those posts when you are on your list page, but not in your home feed.

I feel like this would free up the home feed a bit more, and allow one to consume certain content at times that are personally more suitable. Like not getting posts about work related topics when I am enjoying my time off for example :P

I do this with news accounts here, so that my feed isn't filled with news but instead with real peoples posts. But I can still pop onto my list page and get the news when I want to.

On an Android:
You can insert gifs by going to your emoji icon (next to the space bar). Along the bottom, you will see "gif". Choose that. [See image below for an example.]

Then you can search for a gif. When you find one you want to insert, just tap it once. You might not see it, because it might be hidden behind the gif examples in your search. Don't worry.

The gif examples will not go away until you tap on your phone's "back" button. Once you do, you should see your gif.

I'm told there are other ways to do it, but this is the one I know best.

(Also, don't forget to use hashtags, so people can find your posts. There is no algorithm here, like there is on Twitter, to push things into your feed.)

I was thinking someone needed to write such a book. I was tempted to start one myself.

Glad to hear you beat me to it! Congratulations on making it to the B&N bookshelf!

One piece of advice: ALWAYS post your #Amazon link on any #author #book promo thread. 😉 Plus, hashtag the heck out of it:

Does anyone know if there’s a way to make the news feed more appropriate for me? It’s incredibly USA centric. A historic thing happened today with the Northern Ireland protocol and not a peep on the news page

Can't believe I've made over 1000 posts here already, in just a few short months! I know the majority of those must be reblogs though. I would really like more separation between own content and reblogs btw.. is there an app where it's easier to sort? I'd like to see my whole stream with just original posts, sometimes - I know I can set that option per user followed, but does any app allow that as a view for the whole stream?

I stumbled on the Moshidon @moshidon android app for Mastodon on F-Droid and so far I think it is my favorite android client I've used so far. It's a fork of @megalodon that adds Material You.

Hadn't seen it mentioned in any lists of recommended android client so thought I'd share.

I think this could be really helpful for people who are having trouble adapting to Mastodon from Twitter. Pardon the incoming keyword spam. Trying to reach as many new people as possible.

Have you got #FOMO? Worried that you miss out on toots from your favourite people as there is no algorithm feeding you theirs? Simply set up a list with people you do not ever want to miss toots from and, et voila, no more FOMO.

✨ One more Mastodon tips for beginners:

▶️ The verified symbol anyone can use

▶️ Majority of the official handle will be unregistered like debian in your server. People can impersonate official accounts(I already seeing people are doing it)

▶️ I created "debian" handle in famous Mastodon servers including Infosec and checked 😂 (of course i deleted all of them). So watch out.

▶️ One way to verify if the account is verified by checking the profile link has verified. It is verified by Mastodon server. More on: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification.
(Thanks to @effy for this tip)
