 I've tried to list everything I could think of, let me know if I've missed anything! 🙂 #FediTips #PeerTube #Fediverse
In case you missed it buried in the replies, I've done a guide to using Mastodon's new quoting feature: ➡️

 The guide covers how to quote, how to consent to being quoted, how to go back to single-click boosts etc and answers lots more quoting-related questions. #FediTips #Mastodon
Another nice feature on the Mastodon 4.5.0 update: more emoji! If you click the picker in the web interface you should see a lot more emoji to choose from. There is now for example 🦣 which is a lot closer to a mastodon than 🐘 #FediTips #Mastodon
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 this. If the option isn't there, it means the person posting hasn't given permission to be quoted. image
There are two ways that servers on here can accept new members: -Sign-ups where you join instantly -Sign-ups where the server moderator has to manually approve your membership Approval sign-ups make moderation much more effective, but some people seem to find them more difficult. If you are someone who finds approval sign-ups more difficult, could you explain the main thing putting you off? (By the way, this isn't meant to be judgmental, just want to find out what the main barriers are! 🙂 )
A number of people have asked what happens to your posts if you move your account to another Mastodon server. If you follow all the steps in the transfer guide at
Transferring your Mastodon account to another server | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse

 your old posts will stay visible on the old server, they will let people know you've moved and they will redirect people to your new account. As far as I know this is the only account transfer guide that includes steps to make sure that your old posts redirect people. Other guides seem to skip this. #FediTips
Mastodon users, you might want to check out the "timed mute" option, it's really useful! It lets you set a period (6 hours to 30 days) when an account is muted. It's handy for taking a break from someone. To make a timed mute, you'll need to be using the website, web app or some third party apps. Mute as usual but before confirming the mute click "show options" and select a time period. If you want to still get notifications from them, untick the "hide notifications" box. #FediTips #Mastodon
Mastodon includes support for automatic translation of posts. If it's working, you will see a "translate" button below posts in foreign languages which you can click on to translate them. If you're not seeing the "translate" option, here's a guide which covers all the reasons why not and what you can do about it: ➡️
