Cum să vizualizați și să eliminați metadatele fișierelor

Ori de câte ori creați un fișier nou, fie că folosiți o aplicație de birou, o cameră digitală sau un editor video, un set de metadate este - de cele mai multe ori - creat și el în noul fișier. Aceste câmpuri de metadate sunt ascunse și nu le puteți vedea în fișierul propriu-zis, dar ele ar putea dezvălui o mulțime de informații despre dvs. și despre modul în care ați creat fișierul respectiv.

Tips And Tricks For New Mastodon Users

What Is Mastodon?

Mastodon was founded in 2016 by German software developer Eugen Rochko. Unlike Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or most any other social media site, Mastodon is a nonprofit, meaning that it’s not owned or run by one individual or an individual company like the sites listed above.

Mastodon might look like a clone of Twitter at first glance, and in some ways I guess you can say it is, but those similarities don’t go very deep at all. In fact, the underlying system behind Mastodon is way more complex than that of something like Twitter. Mastodon is considered a “decentralized platform” and is defined as a “federated network which operates very similarly to email.”

When you first create your account, you choose a server; similar to how you choose to open an email account at Gmail or anywhere else, which generates your profile’s address. So, for example, if you sign up for Mastodon via the allthingstech.social server, then your Mastodon address will be @[your username]@allthingstech.social. For example, my account is cliffwade@allthingstech.social or allthingstech.social/@cliffwade Both links point to the same URL, so you can click it and see my profile.

But no matter which server you sign up with, you will be able to communicate with users from any other server, just like how Gmail users email Hotmail users and vice versa. However, some servers might have blocked other servers (perhaps if it’s an unsavory group), which would mean you can’t communicate with anyone from the blocked server.

But all of this is for a completely different post as I want to focus on tips and tricks for new users that will help get you started and hopefully get you connected with others in a better, quicker way.

Tip 1: Upload A Profile Picture

This should be common sense on any new social media platform that you go to assuming the site allows you to. It doesn’t have to be a selfie or a picture actually taken of you. It can be something that helps others quickly identify your posts. This can be anything you want it to be. Just pick something that you enjoy, that you feel represents you or that has a story behind it.

People associate profile pictures with a name, and they get used to it. This will help you build an audience quicker and make it to where anyone you follow or interact with more likely to click on your name to read your bio and possibly follow you back.

To enhance this a little further, I strongly recommend you add a profile banner as well like you see at the top of my profile in the image below. Again, make it what you want. Just remember, little things like this show other users that you’ve taken a bit of time to let others know a bit about yourself.

Tip 2: Fill Out Your Bio

This and tip 1 likely go hand in hand. Without a bit of information provided in your bio to let others know who you are, what you do, what you like or anything else of importance, you’re less likely to get interaction or follows from others. While this certainly doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get interaction or follows, it’s the best place to start when it comes to Mastodon, or most any social media platform for that matter.

Tip 3: Make An Introductory Toot (Post)

Again, just like on every other social media platform, introducing yourself helps others get to know a bit about you. There’s no specific guidelines as to what you need to say in this introductory toot (post), so feel free to say what you want. Make it serious, make it funny, whatever you feel is best.

This introductory post is something that can be shared every couple of weeks so that the newer users to Mastodon might get a chance to see it as well. It’s also recommended that you pin it to your profile as you can have up to 5 posts pinned on your profile. That number may however vary depending on what instance you are on.

Tip 4: Follow Anyone On Mastodon That You Followed On Twitter

There are several websites out there that can check your Twitter following and follower list and find out who of those have a Mastodon reference in their profile there, leading you to find their account on Mastodon itself. This is obviously a great way to start off your Mastodon journey by following some familiar people.

A couple of websites you can use for this are FediFinder as well as MastoFind. There are likely many others but I’ve personally used both of these with good success when I first came over to Mastodon several months ago.

This doesn’t necessarily mean you need or should follow everyone that you followed on Twitter, as you might very well want to start fresh and only follow new folks you find on Mastodon. However, most of us have people we have become really good friends with or interact with regularly and if some of those have moved over completely to Mastodon, then it’s often important to keep those relationships going.

Using the sites above will help you find others who have added a Mastodon link to their Twitter profile and you should add your Mastodon profile link to your Twitter profile for this same reason.

Tip 5: Use Hashtags When You Toot (Post)

Since there is no algorithm on Mastodon, the best way for users to find things they like is via hashtags. Using hashtags in your posts gives everyone the ability to not only search for keywords of things they like or want to see, but you can also follow hashtags within Mastodon which can really add to the overall experience of the platform.

Some people say to only use up to three hashtags, others say to use as many as you want. I’m not sure if there is a “correct” way to do this or not, but I’d say use what you want and judge changing it based on interaction or lack of interaction.

Another thing I did to enhance this when I first joined Mastodon was to create a toot (post) with regards to the hashtags I like to use, view and search for. This too allows others to know a bit more about you, who you are, what things you like and what things you might be posting or commenting on around Mastodon.

Come Join Us On AllThingsTech.social

With all of this said with regards to how to setup your profile and make the best impression from the get go, and you’re looking to join the Mastodon platform, we at AllThingsTech.social would love to have you!

Regardless of which Mastodon app you choose to use, or if you decide to create your account on the web version of Mastodon, you can enter the instance name above and then click Ok/Enter or whatever, and then you should be able to create an account on the AllThingsTech.social instance.

Final Thoughts

These are just five of the first tips and tricks that I learned and preached about when I first came over to Mastodon and I feel it helped and still helps me greatly today even after 3+ months of being on the platform.

There are many, many other things you can do to make your experience better and to possibly grow quicker and I’d be more than happy if you would share those with me if you’d like. Maybe if I get enough suggestions of other tips and tricks for new users, or even experienced users, I could make another post here and list them and give you credit for your suggestions.

Tips For Picking The Best Mastodon Server

Mastodon has gained a lot of traction over the past 2 – 3 months alone due to Elon Musk taking over Twitter and really stirring things up. I won’t get into any of that here as that’s not what this article is about. What I will tell you about is a few things for you to think about when it comes time for you to pick a Mastodon server for you to call your home.

Joining Mastodon isn’t just about picking a username, entering your email address and then simply joining the conversation. There are thousands and thousands of “instances”, or servers, that you could possibly join and today I’m going to give you a few things to think about prior to joining. This will hopefully help you join the best instance for you from the get-go so you don’t have to go through the transfer to another instance process.

What Are Mastodon Servers?

Mastodon servers, or more correctly called, instances, are individual communities that each have their own rules and often their own culture. A server can be owned by a single individual, a group of people or even an organization and those are the people who dictate the community’s guidelines.

One thing to note is, when you join an instance, you’re not limited to only interacting with people from that instance alone. You’re still able to interact with others around the Fediverse. However, the instance you do choose can possibly impact your overall experience in various ways.

How To Pick A Mastodon Server

At the time of this writing, Mastodon currently has 13,110 servers with about 9.3 million users and growing considerably each and every day. With this many servers to choose from, it might seem a bit overwhelming on what you should pick to join. That’s where this article will hopefully help you. As stated above, you can always transfer to another server if you feel the one you pick originally isn’t best suited for you or you find something that is better suited for you after you start using the platform.

Write A List Of Server Requirements

Before you dive in head first, I highly recommend you make a list of your wants and needs you’d like about a server you might join. Things to think about are as follows:

Moderation Policy Or Community Rules: What types of content are allowed and what types of content are not allowed. This can range from memes, NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content, hate speech and so on. You should always be able to find this information via the servers About Page.

Age Of The Server: If the server is brand new, that’s something to think about. It could possibly end up not surviving very long, forcing you to transfer to another server. It could go inactive as the owner(s) thought they had time to maintain it but realized they don’t. Older, more established servers are more likely to stay around and have a bigger, better and more stable community.

Other Servers You Might Want To Interact With: You can interact and follow users from other servers in most cases. However, some servers can block other servers around the Fediverse for various reasons such as their political stance, not agreeing with a servers moderation policies and so on. This is certainly something to keep in mind when thinking about joining specific servers.

How Quickly You Want To Start Using Mastodon: Some servers you have to request to join or even be invited to join them. This process can often take a couple of days. If you’re looking to join in on some conversations immediately, this might not be where you want to try and join as you might be forced to wait a couple of days before actually getting into Mastodon and seeing what it’s all about. One thing to note here, most servers that are invite only do so for a good reason and are often better communities or goal oriented communities so it might be that it’s worth the wait.

Consider The Types Of Posts You Want To See

Mastodon servers can be very general servers or they can be pretty niche, depending on the server itself. Depending on what posts or content you want to see plays a big part in the server you decide to choose.

For example, let’s say you are an artist who wants to be on an art centric server as you will be posting a lot of your own art, but also want to see mostly art from others. You’ll want to find yourself a specific server with that in mind and trust me, there are several to choose from. If that’s what you’re wanting, then you most likely don’t want one of the larger servers like mstdn.social or anything similar.

I know you’re likely asking, why does the server matter if I can interact and see other users from all over the fediverse? The reason is because your HOME server is the best place to find like-minded people who will also be sharing content from outside of your server of like-minded content.

Here’s a breakdown of the three feeds you will have the option of viewing once you start using Mastodon.

Home Feed: Shows content from the people you follow regardless if they are on your server or a different server.

Local Feed: Shows content only from the people on your server.

Federated Feed: Shows content from people followed by those on your server. Remember, your server might block other servers, so you won’t see content from those servers if your server has it blocked.

Utilize Mastodon’s Server List

Mastodon offers a partial list of servers that you can browse to get an idea of what server you’d like to join to get started. You can find that list here: Server List. Remember, this is not a complete list of all servers available.

You can filter this list by geographic region, language, registration process (invite needed or no invite needed) and host/ownership type (individual or organization). You can also sort by topic of interest such as: art, music, technology, LGBTQ+, sports, books and so much more.

One really good thing to note here is that all of the servers that are listed on this have all agreed to follow the Mastodon Server Covenant, which is basically the best practices of Mastodon. This is pretty important as it ensures you are going to find good servers that have good rules in place such as:

Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.Daily backups to prevent the loss of user data and even server data.At least one person, other than the admin themselves, with emergency access to the server infrastructure. This is extremely helpful if the admin is away and there's some kind of emergency that needs to be dealt with.The admin and those who run the instance have agreed to provide at least a three month notice to all users in case the server will be shutting down. This allows all users to find other instances to move to.

Take The Server Quiz To Find What Fits You Best

Believe it or not, there is even a server quiz  you can take to find what server(s) might fit best as to what you are looking for and wanting from a Mastodon server. The good thing about this quiz is, you don’t need to provide any personal or private information.

The quiz will ask you simple things such as, what language(s) you speak, your preference as to how many users the server has to have and the rules that you care about most. This tool is very helpful to get you started in what servers to look at based on what you want from a server you are about to join.

What Servers Do Your Friends Use?

Your friends from other social platforms or even your real-life friends are possibly on Mastodon already and you can always ask them what server they call home so that you can take a look at it and see if it fits your needs and wants.

This also can include your Twitter friends, assuming you use or have used Twitter.

If there’s certain people or organizations you simply don’t want to miss information from, then finding these users can be very important to make your Mastodon experience that much better from the start.

There are numerous services out there that allow you to scan your Twitter follower/following lists and see if they are on Mastodon as well. It will search for keywords in their bio or even a link to their Mastodon profile.

MovetodonTwitodonFedifinder and Debirdify are just a few resources to look at for finding users from Twitter that have Mastodon accounts. I’ve personally used all four of these with great results.

Join A Completely Random Server

If you’d like to simply dive in headfirst and not really do a bit of research and just get a feel for things firsthand, you can always just pick a random server, click it and join it. This allows you to check out the community and the types of posts you’ll see from others and then you can make the decision yourself if it’s the place for you or not.

Always remember, if it’s not, you can either create a new account on another server or transfer to another server. The choice is totally yours how you handle it from there. There is certainly no consequences if you feel you picked a server that isn’t quite right for you.

AllThingsTech.social Is Always Looking For New Users To Call Home

I actually happen to own and run my own Mastodon instance called AllThingsTech.social that is a public instance, though it requires staff approval of all accounts.

While the name is AllThingsTech, we don’t restrict posting to just tech related stuff in any way. That’s our main focus, but we want to provide a safe, fun, friendly place that anyone can call home and post the things they enjoy. Such as their daily routines, their cats, dogs, llama’s or whatever else. If you want to post about food, we encourage that just as we do your daily gym workout information.

We are currently doing the approval of users who sign up for the instance as this allows us to ensure that our instance remains safe for everyone involved. So, if you’re wanting to move to AllThingsTech.social from another instance, when you sing up we ask that you provide a link to your current/previous instance so we can check it out and see what types of things you like to post about so we can get a feel of what you are about.

Joining Multiple Servers

You are also free to join multiple servers if you’d like. There are lots of people who do this for various reasons. You can join an art server so that you get posts about art related stuff and where you can post your art. Then you can join a server that’s more focused on something like iOS. This allows you to post iOS related stuff but not mix in your art stuff you want to post or see.

There are many reasons you might want to have accounts on several different servers and there’s certainly nothing wrong with this as long as you feel you can keep up with having multiple accounts.

Final Thoughts

In the end, it’s all up to you how you decide which server to join. You can base it on one thing or multiple things listed above, or you can base it on your own thing completely and not follow any of what’s listed above. Again, there’s no right or wrong way to choose what server you join. Choose what works for you and if you feel you made a bad decision, then start over and do it again until you find a place to call home and what fits all of your needs.

Once you get your account setup and if you’re looking for some tips and tricks on how to get started using the platform, you can check out my Tips And Tricks For New Mastodon Users post that will give you some ideas of what to do to enhance your Mastodon experience from the start.

Once you do pick a server and you get to using Mastodon, feel free to drop me a follow if you’d like.
