⚠️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.

There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.

Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.

You can see examples of this scam in the thread at https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699

(Thanks @markwyner for the warning about this! 🙏 )

Antes de descansar, use Moshidon se você está no Mastodon via celular, apoie criador brasileiro aê https://lucasggamerm.github.io/moshidon/ (Tem na Play Store, F-Droid?, Talvez iOS, não sei, nunca usei Apple)

Os gringos chamam isso aqui de Fediverse (Fediverso) mas os brasileiros chamam de Jeferson #feditips

🚀 PikaPods tip for keeping hosting costs down

A lot of people don’t realize how much they can save just by right-sizing resources.

What works well for most users:
✅ start with the smallest setup
✅ watch how your app actually behaves
✅ scale up only when usage really grows
✅ scale back during quieter times

People cut their costs by ~40% just by doing this.

How do you manage your hosting or cloud costs?

You can pin posts to your Mastodon profile if you are using Mastodon's web interface, Mastodon's web app or a third party Mastodon app:

1. Go to one of your posts which you want to pin
2. Click ⋯ on that post
3. Select "Pin"

You can unpin a post by repeating this but selecting "Unpin".

The lack of a "Pin" option on the official apps is yet another reason to switch to an alternative: https://fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use-should-i-use-the-official-app-or-a-third-party-app

Remember how everyone got into baking their own bread during lockdowns? If you can feed yourself by turning flour, water, and yeast into bread like a grain alchemist, you can cultivate your own digital garden as well!

- If you ever forget your Mastodon server's name, you can look it up by searching your email for the word "Mastodon". This will show your sign-up email which includes the name of your server.

- If you ever forget your Mastodon password, go to your Mastodon server's website, click "Sign In" and then "Forgot your password".

- If you have any problems with signing in, contact your server admin via the email address on your server's website. More details at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-contact-the-people-who-run-my-server-how-do-i-find-out-what-my-servers-rules-are

Why you should use tags on @Mastodon

1. Excellent for content discovery.

2. Allows people to filter out posts for topics they don't want to see.

#FediTips

For the love of Tiamat, can we PLEASE add context to posts and stop posting ONLY links?

Not all clients will render the content of a link, nor will the title always give useful information.

It's not hard to write 2-3 sentences to let people know why they should care about what you posted, is it?

#feditips

You can use Mastodon's filters feature to hide posts containing particular words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji. There's a guide to using it at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon

If you specifically want to block hashtags:

- Make sure the filter for the tag has the "whole word" option UN-ticked (not ticked). If this is ticked it may not work against tags.

- Don't include the #, just write the tag's word on its own.

- If the tag is a phrase, write it all in one word without spaces.

> Welche #Fediverse Software eignet sich am besten für geschlossene Gruppen?

Du meinst ein ähnliches Setup wie google+ oder diaspora*?

Was wäre denn die Zielrichtung Idee dahinter?
(wenn mensch fragen darf)

#feditips #fediHelp

“hetznered” is such a good word. (if you’ve ever seen the emoji some instances have you get what i mean)

you can iterate on it indefinitely to make new words to use when a corpo/whatever annoys you

“cloudflaznered”

“amazonznered”

etc.

I'm starting a couple hashtags to help certain creators find one another.

#CreativeResisters for people who are contributing their creative skills to overcome abusive governments and economic systems.

#Hopecore for people who are creating works whose purpose is to portray the creating and maintaining of a world worth hoping for.

Please use these whenever you see anything that fits the bill!

> Wir müssen mit der Föderation mit Diaspora* höllisch aufpassen. Das ist zum einen genial, zum anderen funktioniert nicht alles wie es sollte.

Beispiel eines Gesprächs Zwischen diasporianern und friendicanern:

note:
Diaspora kennt keine nachträglich Bearbeitung von Texten. Fehler können nicht korrigiert werden. Das bedeutet u.a das es eine ledger ist der sicherstellt das Themen oder Antworten nicht manipuliert wurden.

De laatste week zie ik vaak dat mijn berichten vaak op English staan (en die zet ik uiteraard op NL). Dat komt doordat ik reageer op anderen, die de verkeerde taal voor hun berichten gebruiken.

Tip: Controleer of je wel op de juiste taal staat voordat je verstuurd. Zo kunnen anderen de vertaalfunctie gebruiken.

Hey mastodon. Here in a rare mastodon only post. haha On the website, we can block all retoots in the timeline? In the official masotodon app, I don't think we can. Anyone known an android app that allows that? I like the toots, but I also like seeing everyone's original thoughts!
