Meta-question: if I boost a post, sometimes I end up seeing all the replies to it in my mentions, and I have to mute the thread.
It only happens sometimes though. How do I stop that happening?

Hey all - I'm unsure how many other #fediadmin accounts I reach out here, but if you didn't know, here's a #feditips for admins - you can now exclude certain text substrings from account names that users create when they sign up.
SO those of you running open-door registrations and not keeping […]

#New here? No one is going to give you money for posting. Don't click on any link promising that. Report it instead.
There's a new wave of spam - all around the Fediverse.
Please remember, there's no "Mastodon Moderation Team" sending out strange verification messages.
That's all spam.

[Original post on mastodon.social]
I LIKE MAKING NEWSLETTERS and I want to start making a print \ electronic zine that showcases different fediverse servers and different accounts across the fediverse to showcase the cool things they're working on - whether that's music, art, technology, grassroots journalism, or activism.
Each […]
Ik heb iemand een grote dienst bewezen en mag nu een #restaurant uitzoeken. Budget: onbeperkt. Regio: Nederland. Btw: Ik eet vegetarisch.
Welk restaurant moet ik dan nemen? En waarom? #feditips
Your occasional reminder that a large share of the fediverse actually exposes RSS feeds
Try adding .rss to any account, like https://mastodon.derg.nz/@anthropy.rss
Or to any tag, like https://mastodon.derg.nz/tags/test.rss

FediTip: When creating a new post, it's a good idea to make sure that your post is set to the language in which you are writing. Doing so makes it possible for language translation to work in the reader's home instance.

Want to add hashtags to a list?
While we wait for the official feature, I have a workaround for you. Hashtags in lists is possible!
All you need to do is
1. search for "@tag-hashtag" (remove the quotes, replace "hashtag" with the tag of your choosing).
2. This will pull up a user, their […]
Question for all Fediverse sages out there. Is there a way to access a list of the accounts of a given instance?
Use case: an organization decides to run its own Masto instance. This takes care of verification: if my account is `@alberto@organization.world`, it means I am actually affiliated to […]

I have always used Tusky for Mastodon, don't remember why. Could someone suggest a good client for Android that allows me to see toot translations if I want, and plays videos without the alt text covering everything? Before I start trying all the apps I can find on Droid-ify.

I am having so much fun seeing this list grow. Very tempted to subscribe to many more hashtags now 🤓

#PSA #FediTips continued, this is also the reason why moderation doesn't like when you change the spelling of words to try and get around detection. We aren't censoring legitimate discourse here, so you can say words like "death" or "sex" without some algorithm stopping you: all you're doing […]
#PSA reminder to the #Fediverse that you can #block certain topics from your timeline, so they're either behind a warning or don't show up at all. This is is great if you have an account where you don't want to engage with distressing subjects: I have another account with several hashtags […]
Mastodonin web-liittymän asetuksista voi vaihtaa toistotööttäyksen siten, että se ei kysy haluanko lainata. Nyt toistotöötätään sekunttia nopeammin.
Lainaus löytyy edelleen pistevalikon kautta.

#FediTips if you spot a spelling error or some other obvious mistake in a posting, and you think the author of the posting would appreciate having the error pointed out to them so they can correct it, it's a nice thing to do, but do it _privately_. Only the author needs to see your correction […]
