If you want to search for a reply you made to somebody you can't just search for part of their name/handle. You need to include the @ and the full handle (but you don't need the server part). The handle in the following example is weird by design to make sure I'm not tagging an account that actually exists:

@someHandle123 from:me is:reply

So - for the first time ever I'm logged out of my iPhone Mastodon app (Mastodon for iOs).

If I log in, it wants me to agree to give it blank check permssions over my account. I don't wanna, and the sudden change concerns me. It also says "This is a 3rd part application."

Was there some change i should know about? Does anyone have a better recommendation? Thx.

#ThoughtfulMastodonInvitations

These days when I ask someone to join me on Mastodon. I like to pair that ask with a recommendation for a great server to join. Obviously they are very welcome to go down a rabbit hole themselves and pick out one themselves, but in my experience a thoughtful recommendation of a suitable server or two really helps them to actually step across and to feel supported in the process.

I see it as this 'first account' divide, once in and playing around, people get much more confident either bedding in with where they started or making additional accounts on other servers, for themselves or their projects/orgs.

It's sort of like recommending a good place to go for dinner or a good wine or movie suggesstion.

Do you have certain mastodon servers you recommend to particular people, would love to hear your thoughts.
