Viele heiße Diskussionen bezüglich des Fediverse drehen sich rund ums Thema Moderation. Es geht darum, unangemessene Beiträge zu entfernen, Verfasser ggf. zu sanktionieren, Themen auszublenden, Nutzer ggf. zu sperren oder zu blockieren... es geht um die Kontrolle, ob Gesetze eingehalten werden oder ob die Community- (Server-) Regeln beachtet werden...

Solution found! Thanks @Kitty

(But if you've got any other suggestions - keep them coming!)

I saw a toot recently suggesting it was possible to blur selected images - I think the example was pictures containing spiders.
Is this a thing, and how is it achieved?
Is it app specific?

Tell me again, please, what's the code I need to insert on my own web site to make it cool and green and verified?

Do you post in more than one language?

Mastodon's web interface now automatically detects which language you are posting in and suggests switching to it in the posting language indicator.

For example, if you have your posting language set to English but you start writing in French, the language indicator notices this and starts glowing yellow. Also, French appears at the top of its language list.

Mit der Version 10.4 haben sich die Ansicht und das Handling der Threads im Stream verändert...

In response to feedback, I've tweaked the Fedi.Tips guide to transferring your Mastodon account to another server:

https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

It's still the same instructions but I've tried to make the language clearer, and spread them out over a few more steps so that each step is as easy as possible.

Also added some more answers to common questions about transfers.

If you have any questions about transferring your account, no matter how simple, feel free to ask

Mentioning an account is also known as @-ing because you type @ and then the name of the account. It's also known as tagging a person.

I've done a full guide all about mentions on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:

Hopefully this answers all the questions people have about this topic. Let me know if I've missed something

What's a good way to limit searches on #Mastodon to one's own posts? #feditips

Good morning, almost time for the weekend to start.
I'll visit two elderly aunts who are having problems with their android galaxy mobile: any tips to make it more accessible for our elders? Thanks!

OK Fedi-hive-mind… am I missing out here due to using a ridiculously outdated app, or is this what linked BlueSky posts look like to everyone: just a hyperlinked URL? If this is what it is for everyone here; is this because BlueSky isn’t playing nice, or because Mastodon development isn’t keeping up?
@feditips

UPDATE: after a few comments and some backtracking… what I’m looking at is a Bsky quotepost by a Bridgy account, and the quotepost is reduced to a URL, I suspect, because the OP account is not bridged.

NOW I’m curious if the quotepost would show through if the OP was a bridged account?

Hi Fedi, I have an opportunity to create a new social community, but for people that are not "libre-savvy". Most of them are skilled professionals, artists in their 30s, but also lively people that might want to share family anecdotes or funny stories.

What software would you recommend? I was thinking about using :
- Mastodon Chuckya
- Iceshrimp

I see a lot of people going for GoToSocial but I feel like the UI is very bland and lacking. What do you think?

How do I do proper alt for video on here?

#Mastodon pro tip: If you visit a user profile who belongs to a different instance than you, tap on the 3 dot icon and then “Open original page” to view their profile on their instance.

This will show all of their posts. It’s good to remember if your local server limits remote content.

Used @dansup as the example

do not install nixos ever #feditips

If you want to post photos, videos or audio on Mastodon, here's a guide all about it:

https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-post-images-videos-or-audio-in-mastodon-what-can-i-attach-to-a-post-how-do-i-post-gifs

The guide tries to answer common questions about media attachments on Mastodon, including which kinds of files can be uploaded and how large they can be.
