Fedi.TipsIf someone's profile looks blank on here, don't assume it is actually blank. Some accounts, especially newer ones or ones with few followers, may look blank even if they aren't.There's more info about this, why it happens and how to check what the profile really looks like in the guide:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/why-does-someones-account-page-look-completely-blank-is-it-really-blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/why-does-someones-account-page-look-completely-blank-is-it-really-blank</a>You can prevent your own account ever looking blank to anyone by pinning up to five posts or five threads on your profile:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-pin-my-posts-on-my-mastodon-profile" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-pin-my-posts-on-my-mastodon-profile</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Fedi.TipsYou can create a poll on Mastodon by clicking the 📊 bar chart icon at the bottom when writing a post (on some third party apps polls may be an option in attachments).You can optionally create polls that allow people to select multiple responses, but only if you're using your server's website or web app or a third party app. The official app doesn't let you create such polls yet.Lots more info and questions answered about polls at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-to-post-a-poll-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-to-post-a-poll-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Fedi.TipsHere's how to see trending posts, hashtags and news stories on your server: - On the official app, click the 🔍 magnifying glass at the bottom but leave the search box blank. Select a trend tab at the top. - On the website, click 🧭 Explore at the right of the screen, then select the tab you want. - Third party apps have various interfaces, usually with the word "Trending".Lots more info and questions answered about Mastodon trends here:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/where-are-the-trending-posts-and-hashtags-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/where-are-the-trending-posts-and-hashtags-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

i686-powered liaPlease avoid trying to scoot around the character limit by posting images with text on it, especially if they don't have <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AltText</a>. They are inaccessible and generally a bad experience.Please use <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> software that is made for long posts if you want to write long posts.Long multi-part threads on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> are okay, but if they're really long, I would advise you to put a post counter in each post, like this:(2/2)<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/NewHere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewHere</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PSA</a>

Fedi.TipsIf you're using Mastodon through your server's website on a computer, you can type emoji directly:1. Type a colon : and without a space start typing a keyword, this opens a popup 2. Select the emoji you want with the arrow keys and press enter 3. If the one you want isn't there, click the 🙂 icon at the bottom of the post-writing box to open the full pickerThe keyword results are partly based on alt-text names of emoji. Hover over an emoji in the picker to see its name.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Fedi.TipsMastodon has a built-in translation system for posts in other languages. For it to work, three things have to happen: - Your server has to offer the service - Your language settings have to be correct - The person posting has to use the correct language settingsIf all these are ok, you will see a "Translate" link below the post or in the post's ⋯ menu when you encounter a post in a foreign language.Lots more info and questions answered at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

FeditipsQuit censoring yourself.You don't have to say unalive or whatever other dumb terms to get around filters. You can say kill, murder, suicide, whatever. There's no algorithm here to punish you for using the actual words for things.You can say swear words too. You are allowed to say fuck and shit and whatever else.Don't say slurs though.Edit: you can call yourself whatever you want. Don't call others slurs though.<a href="https://mastodon.social.fraudulent.link/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feditips</a>

Fedi.TipsIf your organisation needs to be on many social networks at once, there are paid social management services which include support for Mastodon such as Buffer at <a href="https://buffer.com/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://buffer.com/mastodon</a> and Publer at <a href="https://publer.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://publer.com</a>However, if you just want to schedule your Mastodon posts you don't need to use commercial services. Mastodon has its own built-in free open scheduling system available through third party apps (more info at <a href="https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon</a>).<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>

Fedi.TipsIf you want to add extra security to your Mastodon account, you can optionally use "Two-Factor Authentication" (2FA). When you have this feature activated, even if someone else finds out your password they will be unable to log into your account.There is a complete guide to activating 2FA on Mastodon here:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/using-two-factor-authentication-2fa-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/using-two-factor-authentication-2fa-on-mastodon</a>This guide also answers lots of common questions about two-factor authentication 🙂 <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#2FA</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/TwoFactorAuthentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwoFactorAuthentication</a>

Fedi.TipsThe most common questions asked by new people on here seem to be about how to make more connections with other accounts. Here are a couple of guides that might help:How do I discover accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse? ➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends</a>How do I make my own account and posts more discoverable? ➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse</a>You don't have to do all the suggestions on the lists, but the more you do the more effectively you'll make connections with others.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>

Fedi.TipsAccount verification works totally differently on the Fediverse. The most popular method is to link to your own website from your profile and then use Mastodon's verification system to prove you own the site. Once the link is verified it turns green to prove you're the owner.There are complete instructions for verifying your account at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account</a>If it doesn't work, there are also lots of troubleshooting tips in the same guide, below the instructions.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Laura 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈Is there any way to set up automatic cross-posting between 2 separate Mastodon accounts (on different instances)? All I can find is tools that let you cross-post to other platforms like Bluesky, X, etc. 🤔 I can only think of maybe 2 specific use cases myself, so perhaps no one's bothered to make a tool for this... Or maybe I'm missing some really obvious solution? 😄 <a href="https://gaypirates.club/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> <a href="https://gaypirates.club/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>
