@FediTips I believe that there is another case, which is somewhat a special case of the third point: the post *contained* a hashtag you follow, but was later edited so it no longer does.

The initial hashtag pushed the post into your home feed, but the later edit does not *remove* the post from your home feed.

If people abuse this, block them. 🙂

In case you're #NewHere, your fediverse app can only find posts stored by the service hosting your account. Which is all the posts from all the accounts followed by people using that service, including posts they've Boosted.

So if you see a post you think is worth seeing, for any reason, think about Boosting it. So it becomes discoverable on any fediverse service where someone follows your account.

Noted about the bridged accounts:

If I'm following an account which primarily replies to contacts, I don't see much of it over here, but if I were following from bsky then replies show up.

The void construct seemed quieter from here/I miss a lot. but that's because void doesn't initiate contacts and spontaneously shares unprompted posts infrequently

If you want the conversations, follow 2-3 accounts which tend to interact on Bsky (if they allow)

Oh right I should #feditips that. 😆

@FediTips @Aprazeth Welcome. And thanks for all your #FediTips.

Mastodon has suddenly started showing me a "who to follow" post. Some of the posts are labelled "personalized suggestion". Is this a recently added feature? I see that I can click "Don't show again", but I'd like to know where this is coming from before I disable it.

Hey, does anybody know what this means? These turn up periodically in my mentions. I'd assumed they were a notification obscured by a filter or something, but when I click on them, they just go away. No additional notification appears or anything.

(When I do block topics or people, I try always to click "Hide completely," not "Hide with a warning", & I think I always leave "Notifications" unclicked in Contexts.)

(Could this be a server-level filter?)

Why do all the toots on my timeline say they were posted "now" and yet reveal the true date/time when I hover over the "now"? After some scrolling, the "now" toots go back as far as 10 hours ago.

#FediTips: Ask your instance admin to increase the character limit!

The default is 300 and it is silly and annoying.

Good arguments need space for explanations. Lets leave this useless Twitter relic in the past!

No more "Thread:" or "2/13"

I need to create a Mastodon routine as I've noticed that I seem to be missing a lot of posts from those I follow.

Wondering what tips or tricks others on here use?

I need me a checklist or I'll never remember whatever routine I come up with. Now, how to come up with the time & dice to come up with that 🤔

Yes, I'm at least 50% lurker & a quick look often just turns into a Home feed doom scroll, meaning I forget all about the other feeds & checking any hashtags that I'm supposed to be following.

If you're someone I follow but I'm never boosting, starring or commenting on any thing ever.
Sorry, I'll try & figure this out but might still take a while.
If I figure a quick fix to this it will be amazing. If I keep that fix working for longer than a day it's bordering on a miracoil! (Like a miracle but bouncier.)

A friendly reminder that when you Boost a post, you push a copy to the fediverse service of every account that follows you. Making it discoverable in searches to everyone else on those services. If you wouldn't print it out and post it on a public noticeboard, maybe don't Boost it.

If you want to draw attention to a shitty post for purposes of criticism, maybe just link to it in a post where you make your criticism?

The picture I want to put at the top of my profile, but I can't figure out how to get it to display without cutting off the top or the bottom.

I've tried making it taller, wider, narrower, etc. but can't get anything to work. What am I missing?

Edit: Doing this in a web browser on a PC, not any app.

Are there any good news/journalism/Toronto/Ontario/Canada related hashtags a reporter should know about on this platform?
