@Clutha

Someone else just raised this same topic, there's unfortunately currently no way to combine them all into one post.

If you're comfortable using github you can vote for this to be fixed by giving a thumbs up at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8615

If it's just a one-off thread that you want to avoid, maybe use a timed mute on the account?

@taketwo

I guess it's just up to each person to decide whether they create backup accounts?

@ed_beck @stefanie

That's the equivalent of wishing you could log into Gmail with your Yahoo Mail account.

The servers on here are totally independent, even though they allow people to communicate together on a shared network.

@Alper_Celik

I am not a sysadmin, I have a server through a managed hosting service so they handle all the technical stuff.

If there's server downtime, other servers will try again later to contact your server.

@saket

Your posts would still be accessible as long as you don't delete the old account after the transfer.

Also, people clicking on the post's author would be redirected to your new account.

@saket

Ah okay, well then I strongly suggest moving to a different server.

Mastodon.social is totally overcrowded and unable to cope, which is what causes the error messages.

@jaz @_dunnster

Thank you! Excellently fast and complete response! 🤩

@abqralph

I'm really sorry, I cannot find anything in the github about this issue.

Would you be comfortable filing a report about it as a bug? The github is at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues

@saket

It sounds like a problem with your server, which in your case is androiddev.social

If you're seeing these errors on your server, you need to get in touch with your server admin.

support@mastodon.social is just for people on the mastodon.social server.

@lyndaangela

Ahh okay, you're using the advanced interface?

What kind of panel were you trying to get back?

Some of the panels can be made to appear again by clicking the icons on the left of the screen, while other panels (the ones that are hashtag searches) need you to search for the term.

There's no way to automatically bring back an unpinned post, you have to manually bring it back and pin it again.

@kamkol

Ah, I'm not sure, maybe @rysiek has some suggestions?

I don't speak Polish so it's difficult for me, but I've listed a handful of Polish accounts at https://fedi.directory/tag/poland/

@abqralph

Have you tried activating slow mode, then deactivating it?

(Sorry, I know these are very "switch it off and on again" suggestions 😁 )

@lyndaangela

What kind of layout adjustments do you mean?

@helenclayton

Yes, you can!

The new search function includes lots of special operator words which let you choose exactly what you search:

For searching your own stuff, include the phrase from:me in your search. There are more of these operators in the above link, scroll to the bottom of the page.

@_dunnster

Interesting... looks like the image has been hidden for some reason? It's a customised border around it.

Hey @jaz can you help? A user is unable to see images sometimes, and they're surrounded by a hazard-style box?

@abqralph

Does it not scroll at all? Are you able to see new posts or has it got stuck at a certain point?

@_dunnster

Hmm... I wonder if this is something to do with your server's media settings.

I'm not a sysadmin unfortunately but perhaps your server admin could help?

@Tejas

Does this happen all the time?

@_dunnster

Is the user on another server? (You can tell by looking at the last part of their account address)

@abqralph

Yup! The "Enable advanced web interface" option.

Just to make sure, you tried restarting the browser I assume? 😁
