The crosshair icon in #Fedilab may be the most unknown feature, what do you think? It completely changed my perception of the size of #fediverse / #mastodon Look at this example (screenshot), on the first one it looks like the post had only minimal reach, after pressing the crosshair icon all the data is fetched from all fediverse servers (which can take 1-3 seconds), also the discussion below the original post is much larger 😮
Did you know that voice chats have also been available for #Mastodon for some time now? The whole thing is called #Audon and can either be used via the servers that are already connected, or you can set up your own servers for it. I think it's a shame that it's so underused as it definitely deserves more attention. Try it out for yourself and maybe we'll hear each other there sometime: #Audonaudon.space/
Did you know you can use your fedi account to #voice #chat with followers or other fedizens? The software is called #audon (for #audio on #mastodon I guess) and works pretty well.
And if you're the sort of fedi person who likes DIY and self-hosting, the project is free software so you can do that, too. Give it a shot, if voice is something that interests you at all.
Wusstet ihr, dass es Voicechats auch seit einiger Zeit auch für #Mastodon gibt? Das ganze nennt sich #Audon und kann entweder über die bereits angebundenen Server verwendet werden, oder, ihr setzt Eure eigenen Server dafür auf. Ich finde es schade, dass es so wenig genutzt wird, da es definitiv mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient. Probiert es doch mal selbst aus und vielleicht hören wir uns dann auch mal dort: audon.space/
Dnes je to přesně rok, co jsem spustil svou #Mastodon sólo instanci u masto.host. Jak vypadá využití prostředků? 0,6 GB databáze a 9 GB mediálních souborů. Nevkládám sem videa, takže jde jen o obrázky, několik MB veliké fotografie nedávám moc často. Nemám nastaven zatím žádný limit na mazání souborů. Nefederuji s žádnou jinou instancí. Aktivní jsem denně.
It’s been almost a year since I stopped using Twitter on a regular basis. It was a big change given how large a role Twitter played in my professional life – connecting with public servants across Canada and around the world and learning from their e…
Nevím, zda o tom víte, ale je k dispozici Tangerine UI - alternativní skin pro webový klient, který hodně přibližuje Mastodon k Xku a je pro nově příchozí mnohem přívětivější.
Zkuste na to mrknout a zvážit, zda by to nebyl způsob, jak nově příchozí úplně neodradit a svým stávajícím uživatelům zpříjemnit život.
I’ve now been using it for about two months and I am here to tell you that it is, in principle, what we should want the internet to be. If you have been remotely interested in Mastodon but had reservations about joining because you thought it would be difficult, confusing, or otherwise annoying, it is not.
Here is how you make a #Mastodon account: You go to this website. You agree to not share #disinformation or be an asshole. You select a username and password. Then, you have a Mastodon account.
I wrote about my first two months on Mastodon. I was a Mastodon hater because I thought it would be weird, complicated, or dead. It's been none of those things.
I'm ashamed I didn't join earlier and I'm ashamed I haven't been telling people to join it, because it's a version of the internet and social media I've long advocated for with my reporting: decentralized, portable, user controlled, not corporate:
Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?
Tento týden společnost Automattic oznámila dostupnost pluginu ActivityPub na Wordpress.com. Tento plugin si ale můžete nainstalovat i do vlastní instance Wordpressu, udělat ze svého blogu součást sítě Fediverse a přímo komunikovat nejen s uživateli Mastodonu. Přečtěte si, jak na to.
hi @Tusky. I'm trying to move over to using Tusky instead of the web app for my instance, @dice.camp, but I notice that I'm missing quite a bit of my timeline, see attached screenshot. It probably comes down to me not yet really understanding how #mastodon works, but is there anyway I can see those missing toots? TX

🚀 The Mastodon Auto-installer script has just been UPDATED! 🚀
Gone are the days of modifying code in the script. It's now fully interactive! 🎊 Just follow the server prompts during script execution, & you're all set.
PLUS, for an even smoother experience, we now have ONE-COMMAND installs! 🎉
But there's more... A GUI installation wizard might be on the horizon! Stay tuned. 🔮

There's an alternative version of Mastodon called "Mastodon Glitch Edition" (aka "glitch-soc" or just "Glitch"). Glitch is totally compatible with normal Mastodon, but adds experimental new features.
For example, Glitch instances let the admin alter the character limit, allow local posting, text formatting and lots of other stuff.
Many features in Glitch have eventually made their way into normal Mastodon after proving themselves stable and useful.
If you run your own Mastodon instance you can switch to Glitch, and switch back again if you don't like it.
(You may be wondering how this post is so long? It's because FediTips is on an instance that uses Glitch, and the instance character limit has been extended to 1000.)
“The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.”
There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.
Meine Damen und Herren. Auf dem ersten Bild sehen Sie die Daten, die die App #Threads von Ihnen speichern und einem Profil zuordnen möchte. Das zweite Bild zeigt die App #Mastodon und welche Daten dort erhoben werden. 👇
Meta's plan for the Fediverse and ActivityPub is likely no different. At first they will play nice and lure in #Mastodon servers and users. Mastodon will see a meteoric rise in activity - but most of it will be from #Threads.
Meta needs Mastodon to seed activity in Threads. By federating, they can show how "active and flourishing" their app already is, with activity from servers showing in their app.
It's much easier to kickstart a platform when you have years worth of content already.
Svět #fediverse není jen Mastodon. Možná někdo využije náš PixelfedCZ, který byl vytvořen jako open-source alternativa k Instagramu, která by umožnila uživatelům sdílet své fotografie a videa bez zásahu externích společností. Nebo díky ActivityPub, je možné sledovat uživatelé třeba s Pixelfed na platformě Mastodon. #pixelfed #activitypub #mastodon #tip_mastodon pixelfed.cz
От себя тоже поприветствую всех пришедших и дам несколько советов.
✅ Заполните профиль и поставьте аватарку. Неплохой идеей будет указать там ваши увлечения или вид деятельности. ✅ Напишите что-нибудь: приветствие, пост о себе (тут используют тег #introduction ✅ Листайте ваши локальные и глобальные ленты, и подписывайтесь на тех, кто интересен - тут нет алгоритма, который будет подсовывать вам контент. Набрать свою ленту нужно будет самостоятельно. Также возможно вам будет полезно зайти в настройки и установить языки контента, которые вы хотите видеть в ленте. ✅ Общайтесь с людьми. ✅ Не бросайте как только Twitter опять даст заднюю - дайте свободным соцсетям шанс, они могут вас удивить.
Эти простые советы могут помочь вам не заскучать и заинтересовать других людей подписаться на вас.

- If you’ve joined mastodon.social because it was the default option in the app, please look to move to a smaller instance so mastodon.social doesn’t grow to become Twitter 2.0. (You can use instances.social to find a new instance or ask folks on here for suggestions.)
- Please add alternate text to your images so people who use screen readers can join in too. (accessibility.huit.harvard.edu…)
Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage. It is read aloud to users by screen reader software, and it is indexed by search engines.
@MMB Já chápu, že přechod z Twitteru může být pro uživatele složitější. Proto jsem udělal hashtags #tip_mastodon . Snažím se tam přidat odpovědi na nejběžnější otázky, aby pro všechny byl přechod na #mastodon co nejpříjemnější. Klidně mi můžete i napsat, když budu vědět rád poradím.
Dobrá věc, díky. Já teda zatím nevyužiju, ale sdílím to. Docela mi vyhovuje ten klid před bouří, než zase v průběhu dne krátce spustím #Tusky a naskáčou mi všechna oznámení 😁 #Mastodon
Remember that you can use the "Advanced Web Interface", accessible from your Mastodon account settings, for a TweetDeck-like interface on desktop!
This makes it way easier to see stuff at a glance. If it isn't your thing though, you don't need to use it.
Also note that you can adjust which columns are pinned, so if your local and federated timelines move too quickly, you can just unpin them to only see Home and Notifs, or only open them up manually when you want to see them!

Integration of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon Identity standards into the software that powers #WikiPedia & other Wiki's is so important I find it hard to express.
It is the first big step of integration between the Wikipedian and Fediverse communities, and it has been massively under-noticed and not gotten nearly the attention this deserved.
I'm all for it, want to find ways to help & hope this is the beginning of much more integration to come. 🔥
