    A reminder to anyone looking for Christmas presents, the hashtags to browse are #FediGiftShop and #ArtForSale

    These are used by independent artists on the Fediverse, you might find some unique gifts that cannot be bought in any shop.

    (And if you're an artist, you might want to use these tags for any sales posts!)

  • Did you know Mastodon has a post scheduling system?
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    Did you know Mastodon has a post scheduling system? You can write a post now and set it to publish in the future:

    ➡️ https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon

    Weirdly, the scheduler is built into the Mastodon server software but the developers never got round to making an official interface for it. That's why it isn't in the web interface or official apps.

    However, Mastodon is an open platform and third party apps are able to provide the interface so that this feature can be used 🥳

    p.s. You will only see these features if your server has updated to 4.5.0, you can check your server's version by going to its website and (if you're on a computer) looking in the bottom left corner or (if you're on a phone) clicking ☰ in bottom right corner, selecting "About" and then scrolling to bottom of screen.

    Some apps may not yet have these features as they've only just been released a few hours ago.

    You can choose if you want a post quoted or not in its visibility settings.

    Okay, bonus post today! Mastodon v4.5.0 has just been released! 🥳

    This brings many improvements, most significantly:

    - Fetch all replies, threads are now the same for everyone no matter which server they are on. If new replies are detected in the thread you're viewing, a box will appear that lets you load them automatically.

    - Quote toots, click 🔁 boost on a post and select "Quote" to use it. If the option isn't clickable, it means the person or server hasn't given permission to be quoted.

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

    @ericwickham

    I don't know particular hashtags other than to suggest following as many different ones as possible. You can always unfollow a hashtag if there's too much.

    If you're wanting to discover Canadian news on here, I've tried to list some good accounts at https://fedi.directory/tag/canadian-news/

    There are good Ontario accounts at https://fedi.directory/tag/ontario-canada and Canadian accounts at https://fedi.directory/tag/canada

    Okay, some really bad news but also a suggestion for a way forward.

    The Guppe groups domain name was sold by their registrar before they could renew it. This means all Guppe groups are broken, and their web addresses point to a spam blog 😞

    However, there is another group provider called FediGroups, you can find out more on their site:

    ➡️ https://about.fedigroups.social/home

    FediGroups has features that Guppe never had, including private groups.

    ⚠️ More scam posts are spreading lies! (see attached screenshot below)

    To set the record straight:
    - You do not need to verify on Mastodon
    - No legitimate Mastodon admin will ever demand you verify
    - No legitimate Mastodon admin will ever ask for your bank card details
    - There are no monetisation features on Mastodon
    - There are no extra features for verified accounts on Mastodon

    If you see a scam post, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", and select the option to forward the report too.

  • ⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    ⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:

    Mastodon.cloud no longer seems to be moderated. Its admin account hasn't posted since Feb 2023, its code of conduct is blank and there are vile racists posting from there. The racists have been reported many times but their accounts are still active.

    Because of this, other server admins are starting to block mastodon.cloud completely.

    If you're on mastodon.cloud you might want to move to another server ASAP: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

  • ⚠️ If you see a post or DM saying "your account is currently suspended for verification purposes", do NOT click on the link.
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    ⚠️ If you see a post or DM saying "your account is currently suspended for verification purposes", do NOT click on the link. It is a scam.

    Fediverse servers do not ask people to verify their identity. There is an optional self-verification system, but that's just for those who want to use it. No one is ever asked to do it.

    If you are in ANY doubt about ANY official-looking message, contact your own server's admin directly using their public email address on your server's website's "About" page.

  • Boosting is really important on the Fediverse because it makes whatever you boost federate to the entire servers of all your followers.
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    Boosting is really important on the Fediverse because it makes whatever you boost federate to the entire servers of all your followers. A boosted public post appears on your followers' timelines, but also becomes searchable to everyone on the servers of your followers.

    Instead of an algorithm, the Fediverse relies on human beings sharing stuff they find interesting. This process creates a wonderful chain of discovery.

    To boost something here, click the 🔁 or 🚀 button below the post.

  • Bluesky are openly welcoming, verifying and hosting accounts of prominent far right politicians.

    @ainmosni @stux @mastodonmigration

    Trump's media org stole Mastodon's software code in order to build their own centralised platform.

    I wouldn't personally count them as part of Mastodon.

    Bluesky are openly welcoming, verifying and hosting accounts of prominent far right politicians. Trump's VP Vance is now on Bluesky:

    JD Vance (@jd-vance-1.bsky.social)

    Christian, husband, dad. Vice President of the United States. jdvance.com

    favicon

    Bluesky Social (bsky.app)

    "We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky" (Bluesky in their email to Fox News)

    More 🚩: Bluesky is centralised, run by a for-profit corporation, its CEO has blockchain background, it is partly owned by VCs & Blockchain Capital.

    Bluesky are going down exactly the same Nazi Bar path as Twitter.

  • You don't need to use your real name on the Fediverse.
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    You don't need to use your real name on the Fediverse. It is totally fine to use a nickname or made up name, as long as you're not impersonating someone else.

    You also don't need to use a photo if you don't want to. You can put a picture of something else on your profile, or don't have a picture at all. (Many blind users have no image on their profile, for example.)

    The only info you need to give when you sign up is an email address, and only your server's admin sees this.

    Ah, okay, that's not supposed to happen.

    It's possible that your server has run out of translation requests on the service they use, or it's possible that there's some kind of glitch.

    Your server admin would be able to give you a better answer to this, for your server that's @stux

  • You don't need to use weird spellings or algospeak for any topics on the Fediverse ("unalived", "seggs" etc).
    Fedi.TipsF Fedi.Tips

    You don't need to use weird spellings or algospeak for any topics on the Fediverse ("unalived", "seggs" etc). There is no automated moderation or algorithm on here, moderation happens entirely through human beings and posts are shown in chronological order.

    In fact it's better that you use the correct spellings for difficult topics so that people with genuine traumas related to them can filter them more easily.

    In case anyone missed it, my accounts are not automated! I'm an actual human being sitting here typing this 🙂

    If you want any help with using Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, feel free to ask! To get in touch you can mention me or DM me or reply to any of my threads, whatever you find easiest.

    This account is mainly meant to be about helping people directly rather than just doing mass audience posts. I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people.
