Excellent!

One thing I am looking for... It was rumoured that we would be able to choose a setting where those posts we have in our notifications, especially those from people we have followed with the notification bell on, would be sifted out of our home feed.

Can't find it. :sad_cat:

@feditips

Having touch-typed since I was 17 (a "couple" of years ago), I actually prefer using the shortcode instead of stopping to click on the emoji and find the icon.

this is :slight + Enter
🙂

This is :heart + Enter
❤️

Much faster!

@feditips

Can you tell me what on earth is going on with these Rate Limited lines?

I had opened my tab - not even clicked on anything in the page and I get this black line about 6-7 times. I have had it covering the whole left (input) column at times, even though I am answering maybe my second post in hours.

Incredibly irritating. Sometimes it even starts up while I am in the middle of playing something on my tab and haven't touched the computer in over 30 minutes! 😮

@feditips

This is on the web interface. Any post given as a URL will open in a new (not-logged-in) window.

@feditips

It will open it in another window, where, for some weird reason, you aren't logged into the Fediverse, so you can't like or comment anything - IF there is a link. I think I have seen that a couple of times, but it is not the rule.

@feditips @FediGarden

Is it possible yet to move your whole account?

I won't move again until it is and I find it frustrating when I see "new" accounts where I may be interested in following, but nothing shows up about them because they moved recently and, sadly, haven't written (another) intro.

@feditips

On the web interface, you can follow a hashtag if you click on it and then click an icon in the next picture.

BUT you can not filter it by clicking on an icon! And THAT sucks!

Please #Mastodon !!!! Add a filter icon next to the follow icon!

@aral

No. There are some lines you don't cross.

You would not call a black person the N word. Why on earth would you generalize and call anyone on a site "your" N word?

I am European. We KNOW what a Nazi is! My country was occupied by them.

I am not on the bird site, or I would not be writing this as politely.

And I suspect you lost any German followers you had.

Find another word.

@aral

It will become that, but it is still, for many, the only place they can keep in touch with their circles. I know, because I have the same problem leaving FB. Potters are not the most IT-adventurous people.

Convincing huge groups of people to move to a different platform is not done in a day or a week, or even a month! It needs users who are willing to move - and it needs leaders who are willing to look elsewhere for "their people".

Labelling all people there Nazis is way over the line.

@aral

Thank you. One question, though:

Why that and not Vivaldi?

@aral

May I ask... Which browser do you prefer?

Someone has recommended Vivaldi to me, but not sure. Getting a bit tired of Chrome "guessing" what I am searching for.

@aral

You are using Windows ELEVEN??? 😮

Scrub everything and install Windows 10 if you have to use Windows. 11 is FUBAR.
