Notices by Fedi.Tips 🎄 (feditips@mstdn.social), page 33

@spacewizard @nick

Posts made after you requested it should stop showing up, but posts made before that may still be visible.

I don't know which one takes priority if you hide one list and not other though. Let me know if you find results!

@languageservicesco

The tags suggested are ones that your server has noticed from itself and other servers.

Your server will notice things on other servers when at least one person on your server has interacted with it.

Following tags will only work on posts that your server has noticed anyway, it won't actively pull new posts to your server.

However, there is a differnet system called groups which does actively pull new posts to your server. More info at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

@PatrickEmmick @nick

Yeah, that's where the public list would be.

Sometimes you may see the list if you log in on the website, might be worth trying?

If it still isn't visible and you have a particular query, ask your server admin about it.

@teamtuck

You can't add hashtags to lists (yet) but this is a very popular request. If you're comfortable using github you can vote for it to be added at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7692

As @ButterflyOfFire said, one workaround is to use hashtag pinning instead of following hashtags.

Pinning is only available on the web in advanced mode, or on certain third party apps such as Fedilab.

Tag pinning is similar to following but not quite the same thing. More info about it at https://fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mastodons-tweetdeck-style-advanced-web-interface/

@astro_ray

If you can't see all the replies in a thread, it's usually because your server hasn't noticed the people who wrote the reply (more info at https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/).

It may also happen if a person or their server are blocked by your server, or vice versa.

@fkaOctaviaKeats

I hadn't noticed this, maybe @Tusky can help?

@bippzy

"Favourite" is the nearest equivalent to likes, the one that looks like a star ⭐ .

Boost is like re-tweeting, it shares the post to the timeline of all your followers.

@luism

Yes, I have a website full of help for beginners on Mastodon and the Fediverse at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips

There's a section at the top with the most essential tips, and the complete contents under that.

@quoidian @nick

And the same password works on your other app?

Are you logging into the correct server? (Your server is mastodon.online)

If you can't remember the password there's a password reminder link under the login page of your server. In your case that is at https://mastodon.online/auth/sign_in

@spacewizard

Yes, it was implemented in the latest version, more info at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

@Breezy

Mona is good too apparently.

@Mikesolon

You might find that third party apps have more of the features you want?

The third party apps tend to be better, the official ones were only introduced because new people were so used to there being official apps.

On iOS you might want to try Ice Cubes, Toot!, Ivory or Mona for example?

@WildSolcte

It depends on your instance, the admin has to pay for an integrated translation service (usually an open source one such as LibreTranslate).

Ask your admin if they have this activated on your instance.

As Matte says, if the service is active there will be a "translate" button below posts in other languages.

(Note that for this to work correctly, you have to set your own language settings correctly, more info at https://fedi.tips/setting-your-language-preferences-on-mastodon-and-filtering-out-posts-in-other-languages/)

@Breezy

Have you tried third party apps Ice Cubes or Toot! ?

@Thumptastic

Have you tried uploading from a different connection, for example on mobile network?

If several connection types are all slow, then it is probably your instance being slow. Ask your instance admin about it, they may be able to help.

@olabreche

You can't change a post's visibility once it has been published. All you can do is delete it (optionally using "delete and redraft" if you want to repost the same content with a different visibility).

@abuabdillah

Not as far as I know, sorry, but you could bookmark the thread and check it later?

@serenebabe

Aww, cheers! 😊

That's really nice of you!

@olabreche

Not really, sorry.

If you have a public post, it's best to assume that anyone will be able to see it, because public posts can be seen by anyone without even logging in.

Nearest is to hide your profile from search engines, but that will not hide your public posts as they will be on threads and feeds outside your profile. (If you do want to hide your profile from search engines: Edit Profile > Privacy & Reach > Search > Include profile page in search engines, untick this and save.)

@calum

I've been playing too much Zelda BOTW/TOTK, stealing honey on my mind 😁
