Glad it got sorted!

You can filter hashtags by just filtering the word (without the #) from that tag, but make sure the "whole word" option isn't ticked. Whole word may be preventing it filtering hashtags.

You might want to ask the cable company why they're blocking the site, as I can't see anything unsuitable on it.

@khunkai@mastodon.social @KhunKai@stranger.social

Works fine for me. Is it possible your computer or network has blocked that site for some reason?

If you can't log into an account but the account still exists, ask the admin for help. You can contact them by email even if you can't log in.

Their public email address is always on their website, on the About page. If your original profile is on stranger.social, then the About page is https://stranger.social/about

@sbrl

On Chirp groups there's a log of past posts on that group's website (open the group's "original page" to see this, more info: https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon/)

On Guppe the only way to see past posts is to browse the group's account's profile, and you'll see all posts from the moment someone on your server followed that group. (If no one on your server has followed it before this will be blank, unfortunately.)

@daveshuken

Okay, let me know if you want some help!

@HeyLaiverd

It's up to each server to decide what is necessary, but it does seem common sense that bots should use the "automated" label?

By the way, many servers will block servers and accounts that do auto-posting from Twitter, especially if it's without permission of the account holder.

If you enjoy using Fediverse groups powered by Guppe, you might want to donate to the volunteer group that makes Guppe's software and maintains the flagship server:

➡️ https://opencollective.com/guppe-groups

If you're a techy person, you might want to set up an alternative Guppe server to spread the load, so that we aren't totally reliant on a.gup.pe. Installation instructions here:

If you just want to know what the heck I'm talking about, see here:

I use Firefox on Linux with a cheap laptop and hadn't noticed problems, which OS is this on?

I'm wondering if it is behaving badly on some setups... 🤔

About the chromium spinner problem, looks like this has been reported before and is fixed on the updated version of PeerTube:

https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5927

Unfortunately my managed hosting provider hasn't updated to the latest version yet, I will ask them about updating.

@number6 @DeShawnFranco

Hmm... weird... 🤔

Thanks for the feedback and testing of this 👍

Was this on a computer?

@HollyCo26588808 @adminkirsty

I'm not sure... I think it shouldn't affect transfers, but if you run into any difficulties you could ask your admin to remove the limitation so you can move?

@blogdiva @SocialistStan

Blocks are supposed to remove follows in both directions, is that not happening?

@daveshuken

Sorry to hear that, is there a particular error message when you try?

@DeShawnFranco @number6

Could you give some examples of the devices this happens on?

@kd8bxp

I select specific video accounts or channels to follow from fedi.video, and if they accept the follow then the videos are visible and searchable on the fedi.video webite.

I don't follow entire servers because I want to curate each account that is visible on the site.

@cmorris

As far as I know, the quote function would be opt-in, so only people who actively ask for their posts to be quoted would be quotable.

@number6

Hmm... that's odd. Are you viewing on a phone or computer?

@johnshirley2024 @cmorris

Fedi admin.

Are you getting email notifications from Mastodon that you don't want?

You can change your email notifications by doing the following:

1. Log in on your server's website
2. Click ⚙️ Preferences (or ⚙️ on mobile website)
3. Click on Notifications (on the mobile website you may need to click ☰ and then Notifications)
4. Un-tick the boxes marked "Events for e-mail notifications" to remove the notifications you don't want
5. Click the "Save changes" button at the top of the screen
