Masto / Fedi Advice please!
On Desktop Mastodon's 'home' tab there is an overwhelming amount of general World information-too much somedays.
The 'Live This server' tab has only my local stuff-too little somedays.
The 'Live Other servers' tab is back to too much and seemingly a random selection.
Is there an easy way to have a feed which shows info from selected servers? eg my home one, my parent's local one and beige.party because that's reliably amusing?

If someone is asking for help with using this place, could you let them know about my account, and also let them know about my website? 🙂
I have a website full of easy-to-understand guides for using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse at:
The section at the top of the page marked "Quick Start" is especially designed for new people who want to find out the basics.
I'm an unofficial account, so new people only find out about me by worth of mouth. Thanks! 🙏
@FediTips
Bookmarked and boosted.
Here's an account that provides excellent Fediverse tips and guidance.
Pleez let all your friends know about Fedi.tips.
Especially good for people new to Mastodon!

MTV died. All the cool, unique artists like off “120 minutes” are now fighting the blandest algorithms imaginable.
We wanted a place to watch weird stuff you can’t see on mainstream channels. So….
Fedi MTV goes live in ONE HOUR.

Oh, hey.
Circumstances compel me to remind you not to boost stuff that confirms your priors without checking first to make sure it's true.
Just because you like the sound of something, just because it's plausible, doesn't mean it's true.
People say things that aren't true. They have lots of motives for doing so, but regardless, misinformation and disinformation are harmful, and the more they spread the more harm they do.
Please be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Thanks.

You may have heard that the maintainer of med-mastodon.com, a large, prominent Mastodon server, recently decided to shut down the server without warning, leaving his users with no access to their data.
[EDIT: it's back up! Ref: https://mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/115844028613413319]
This could happen to you at any time.
If you care about this, you should be backing up your data regularly.
Here's a post I just wrote about how to do that, and about what you can do with your backed-up data.

I have a filter here for various US political words like Trump, MAGA, etc. Those have been getting a great workout today. What I really like is I could tell something was happening this morning and pick WHO I wanted to see hot takes from, instead of getting everyone’s. And tonight, as I’m tired and as well informed as I’m going to be for now (there’s no real new info), I can scroll past the CW’d posts from the filters and read other things. A+, recommended as a feed management method. #feditips

Est-ce que la charte de Mastodon m'astreint contractuellement à poster des photos de mon nouveau petit chat si mignon ? #droit #juridique #feditips

@outraspalavras @daltux boa! Poderia colocar um texto alternativo na imagem??
E pior que falta descrição de todas as imagens do perfil. Talvez isso seja uma violação dos termos da instância do perfil, inclusive. Inclusividade é o que quem vem de outras mídias não costuma observar por achar dispensável.
Aliás, não há necessidade alguma de anexar imagem a cada publicação que já possui uma ligação a uma terceira página, né? Na maioria dos programas que as pessoas usam para visualizar suas linhas do tempo, isso até faz com que uma previsão da ligação deixe de ser exibida. Ficam enchendo o armazenamento do servidor de origem e de cada um que faz cache, à toa.
