@Leisureguy

They're also in the full Getting Started menu on the right of the screen 👍

@otheorange_tag @rljenk @bunnyhero

Could you block them?

@Leisureguy

Yeah, good point. On the Advanced interface the Federated and Local links are still there.

I'm sorry but Zuckerberg has behaved in a consistently appalling manner for 20 years. He describes people who trust him with personal info as "stupid fucks".

Why should anyone trust him now, just based on some vague non-committal PR public interview?

He collects data on people who don't even use his products at all. It's impossible to browse the internet without handing data over to him. Why?

There is no reason at all to believe what he says.

@Xanatos

Yeah, I should add the original post only applies to Mastodon 4.2.0 and newer 😁

@mho @tchambers

The danger of depending on large instances is you are more at risk of them doing something bad, perhaps accidentally or deliberately.

The only way to guarantee your control over your server is to own your own server.

News organisations need to think about what their priorities are, and what their accounts are for before deciding to just sign up somewhere large.

@mho @tchambers

1) You can make even a single user instance have a wider reach through relays, especially targetted ones that are on the topics you're interested in. (More info at https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse/)

2) Your own server's view of the Fediverse doesn't affect the visibility of your accounts to other people. For example my account @FediFollows has 60k followers despite being on a single user server with no relays.

If you're using Mastodon through your server's website, the Local and Federated timelines are now available through the "🌎 Live Feeds" link at the left side of the screen:

- "This Server" shows the latest public posts on your server, the equivalent of Local.

- "Other Servers" shows the latest public posts from accounts on other servers that are visible to your server.

- "All" shows all posts that are visible to your server, the equivalent of Federated.

Apps will have their own interfaces.

When you enter each tag, you type the word or phrase in the video's tags section on PeerTube, and when you've finished you press enter to turn it into a tag.

It requires an enter press because you might be putting spaces into the words for a single multi-word tag.

p.s. If you want to see this actual video it's at https://makertube.net/w/vjpXZBrAW2b7WaujoXf5ZZ

And you can follow the creator's video account at @michellemay

Their Mastodon account is at @thegiddystitcher

All highly recommended! 👍

@thegiddystitcher

Great question @ricardoharvin , I just had a play around with uploading a new file with capitalised tags and CamelCase on the original as well.

Nothing worked 😞

No matter what you do on PeerTube, it will remove the capitalisation from combined words, even if you've written it in CamelCase to begin with.

I'll file an issue about this on the PeerTube github if there isn't one already.

@Oliviastarstuff

Here you are:

@BOOKidealist

Is this on the default website interface?

It should expand all the way down to the bottom of the page, with the whole text visible?

@BOOKidealist

On the web interface? It should expand downwards as you're typing?

@mirabilos

Ah, okay, fair enough. I'll do a post about it, it can't do any harm to choose a good centre anyway 👍

@mnf

Yup, that's how Mastodon used to handle them!

But the latest update of Mastodon's web interface does actually show the tags, which should avoid confusion int he future.

If you're uploading to #PeerTube, it's important to include tags, because these will make it a lot easier for people to notice your video.

PeerTube tags automatically appear as hashtags on Mastodon, so people searching or following those hashtags will see your video 👍

If you use more than one word in a tag, it will automatically be converted into a single phrase.

(PT tags have always worked as hashtags on Mastodon, but starting in Masto 4.2.0 the tags are actually visible below the video.)

@mirabilos

At least on Mastodon, the images are no longer being cropped.

Is GoToSocial cropping?

@ollie_francis

I think you'd have to ask your server's admin about that.

It sounds like the part of the server that powers the full text search isn't active?

@flohw

Well, it is very hidden! If you don't already know, it is difficult to discover 😞
