Sounds like a server problem maybe?

What are you using to view their timeline?

@Tejas

Which server were you trying to translate it on?

@abqralph

Have you tried setting it to the default single column interface, then setting it back to advanced?

@nick @Frieke72

Yeah, it sounds like mastodon.social is just unable to cope.

You will find smaller servers more reliable as they're not overcrowded.

@alexhammy

Sounds good, let me know if you come up with something and I'll give it a shoutout 😀

@stefanie

Yeah, all I can suggest is letting them know it's a problem via the github. Sorry!

@Crates

Do you mean migrating between Pixelfed servers?

I'm not sure it's finished yet, @pixelfed do you have any updates?

@alexhammy

I don't know of any automated tools, though as it's an open platform it should be possible.

All I can suggest is regularly downloading the CSV files and requesting an archive.

@stefanie

Okay, that's the issue then. Either PeerTube needs to change how it displays links on profiles, or Mastodon has to change how it handles verification...

@Tejas

That's a bug, but it should have been fixed:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22398

Are you seeing this bug still happening?

@tim888

There's nothing built in at the moment.

There's an open issue about this at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8615

I have replied to the issue to ask for an update and emphasised how this is causing people to mute accounts they actually enjoy reading.

@stefanie @petrescatraian

Ah ok!

I wonder if the problem is PeerTube using javascript? According to the post in that issue, Mastodon doesn't render javascript when checking verification links.

@shanie

I'd strongly recommend going on the code forges / githubs etc for the specific server project you want to install. There are normally lots of experienced people on there who will respond to issues.

I'm not a sysadmin, my servers are done through managed hosting, so I'm not right person to help with server setup issues 😁

@Alper_Celik

The domain name on your handle comes from the server you signed up on.

If you want to have your own domain name on your handle, you would have to set up your own server and then link it to your domain.

This is not actually as difficult as it sounds, you can do it through a managed hosting company which will do all the techy stuff. It costs about $10 a month including all hosting costs.

@stefanie @petrescatraian

The link back by itself isn't enough, the site you're linking to needs a specific kind of link which includes a piece of HTML code called rel="me".

PeerTube doesn't currently include this, but I've posted your request in the relevant issue on the PeerTube github:

https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5947

@hamlin81

There's no obvious way except guessing, but there is another option now available in the latest Mastodon update.

If you're comfortable with it, you can optionally allow people to search the entire contents of your posts, which would include all of the words and phrases and not just hashtags:

https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon/

(By default people are opted out of the system, for safety and privacy reasons.)

@unnameduser

That depends on your settngs for autoplay, and what interface/app you are using to view the post.

@_dunnster

This is a known problem, there is already a system for remembering timeline position for some reason the official website interface doesn't use it.

If you're comfortable using github, you can give a thumbs up for this at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23677

@silverhuang

Not possible at the moment, unfortunately:

@stefanie @petrescatraian

You can't link accounts, because each server is totally independent.

People with multiple accounts normally list them in their profiles on all the different servers, so people can see they are the same person who runs them.

If you want to share content from one account on another account, the easiest method is to follow it and then boost it from your other account.
