I'm using the #toot app and very much appreciating the function that hides replies and comments from my (local) feed.

I can't seem to be able to do the same in the federated feed tho, and this really bothers me to the point that I don't look there at all, since I can't easily follow the conversations that pop up without context.

I tried to find another app but I'm using an old-ish iPhone 6, meaning that e.g. IceCubes is not available, among others.

Any tips on how to work around it?

ΩΩ
New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:

1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)

2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers

All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

For now you still need to use the command line to run it (it's easy tho). If there's interest I can deploy the demo publicly.

If you're using the Fediverse's reading platform BookWyrm, here's how to transfer your data from Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary or Calibre:

Update: test complete! Thank you all for helping

This was a test of content warning mechanics.

Findings:
- The search tab trending system excludes posts with content warnings from trending.
- Posting, and then editing to add a CW, also stops a post from trending.
- Removing the CW later will make the post eligible for trending again.

Note: I did not test if adding a CW would remove an *already* trending post from the trending list.

Thoughts: The way trending formula interacts with content warnings actively discourages accessibility by creating a situation where reach and accessibility considerations are at odds.

If you ever have trouble accessing your Mastodon account, you can always email your server's admin to ask for help:

1. Go to your server’s website
2. If you're on mobile, click the ⋯ icon on the right, if you're on computer click the “About” link at the bottom left. (Note that there are two “About” links on the desktop website, click the one next to your server’s name.)
3. Your admin’s public email address is listed under “Contact” near the top of the page

Tip para #mastodon.

A veces hay gente a la que te gustaría seguir pero se la pasan retooteando demasiadas cosas y te saturan el timeline.

Desde su perfil, podés silenciar sus retoots para que no te aparezcan, y así vas a ver solamente cuando publican un toot propio.

If anyone is still looking for a Quote Post like experience here, I recommend trying @moshidon. When I link to another post, the interface displays the contents of that post in an indented box under the post I linked it in.

#FediTips but it's just people posting pictures of their glans

does anyone know whether filters catch words within alt-text or not? (I think they catch body text and cw text, though I'd live a correction if I'm off on that )

(edit: thank you everyone, it seems the answer is yes )

Hey Fedi, what's everybody's opinion on replying to threads? Which post should I reply to? The first, the last or the one to which the answer relates most?

It's really important to add text descriptions when you're posting images, video or audio files. However, it's not always easy to remember to do it, so there is a special account which reminds you if you forget:

@PleaseCaptionBot

Just follow the account, and it will follow you back and DM you if you post something without a description.

To stop getting reminders, unfollow the account, then block and unblock it so that it unfollows you.

If someone's profile looks blank on here, don't assume it is actually blank. Some accounts, especially newer ones or ones with few followers, may look blank even if they aren't.

There's more info about this, why it happens and how to check what the profile really looks like in the guide:

https://fedi.tips/why-does-someones-account-page-look-completely-blank-is-it-really-blank

You can prevent your own account ever looking blank to anyone by pinning up to five posts or five threads on your profile:
