Is someone posting about something you don't really wanna see in your feed right now? Boosting too much? Generally making you anxious?
You can mute someone for a few hours or days, after which they'll show up in your feed again.
There's a lot of new people joining right now and if all the new energy is making you a bit stressed or anxious, don't be afraid to mute people for a while 💚🌻🍂

Thank you to everyone who pitched in with suggestions of improvement (all visible in the thread).
You can download PNG and PDF versions on my blog post, which also has a bit more info and links to the applications.

The many branches of the Fediverse
As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse.Per Axbom (axbom.com)
But do you know about all the different types of applications that run on the Fediverse?
I made this visual to give myself and others something to point at when explaining "the big picture".
You may be surprised by how many services beyond Mastodon there are to explore.

That post also has links to all the different applications.

This means the user who created the post is currently in or out of their chastity cage. Usually this is used as a sign to whether a user will reciprocate flirting or if they wish to stay abstinent.

This is because most Fediverse servers don't "backfill" new profiles, i.e. if no one followed them at the time a post was made then their post will not be visible from other servers, even if people follow them later. Followers of new users will only see posts made after they follow them, and the oldest posts will remain invisible.
You can see all of a profile's public posts by clicking on the profile's avatar to open it on its home server.
You can also force any post to become visible from your server too by copying the post's public URL and pasting it into the search box on your server.
(If you think this is crazy, and you'd like Mastodon to automatically backfill posts when people follow an account, please give a thumbs up to the issue at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34 so that the developers realise you want this.)

Here are their answers:
"share funny memes, interact with (most) who interact with you, be gay, and you too can become a niche micro internet celebrity"
"Hate computer, post funnies, simple as"
"post cock pics. No, post ball pics"
"post memes"
"Meta, post meta."
"Hmmmm It think that by having presence.
Like certainty of your personality
Like no one can be
[REDACTED]Or no one else could be or post like
[REDACTED]People that are memorable are the people that get most follows"
"Cumposting"
And what do these all have in common? The word POST. That's right the best and ultimate way to get the most out of the fediverse is to post and post lots.
The more you post the more likely people will find you and engage with you. So goodluck and get your e-clout

Pleromas after their 7th hellthread: "Seems fedi is kinda quiet today"
Misskey users:
How tech smart is the average fedizen? See if you can answer the question below:
Your #pleroma instance is not receiving deactivate and reactivate activities correctly; meaning a remote user who has been suspended or unsuspended on one instance may not be shown as such on yours.
What is the best way to approach and solve this problem?

Mastodon
Mastodon is an open source decentralized social network - by the people for the people. Join the federation and take back control of your social media!joinmastodon.org
If a website ever leads you to a #github, #gitlab, or #gitea repository immediately close your browser and run your anti-virus.
Git is a malware that makes a copy of your files and code and lists them on these repositories without your consent!! Named and created after the infamous hacking group GitYourCode.
If you want a legitimate copy of #mastodon you can find installation instructions on the official site here: https://joinmastodon.org/
Practice safety fedizens!!

https://watch.owncast.online
It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.
If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.
OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

You can mute that particular conversation thread so that you don't get any more notifications about it.
On the Mastodon web interface, go to one of your posts in the conversation and click "...", then select "Mute Conversation".
(You can cancel this by doing the same thing again and picking "Unmute Conversation")

-It helps protect us all against Elon Musk scenarios. It's very difficult for anyone to buy a network made of thousands of independently owned servers. (It's the same reason why no one owns the world's email network, because there are so many independent providers out there.)
-If your server misbehaves (or sells out to a malevolent billionaire), you can move your account to a different server, or even to a brand new server. Decentralisation means you're never trapped on a site you hate.
-Mastodon is an open platform where anyone can start their own server, and they don't need tech knowledge if they use a service like https://masto.host or https://federation.spacebear.ee
...and there are lots more good reasons too, to do with servers using alternative Fediverse software etc, but I'll save that for a future post 😁

Masto.host - Fully Managed Mastodon Hosting
Masto.host was built from the ground up to make running a Mastodon instance easy.Masto.host
-Create a normal message, set its privacy to "Direct" and then @ mention whomever you want to receive the message. If you mention more than one person it becomes a group chat. This works on all apps and versions of Mastodon.
OR
-If you're logged in through the website, or if you're using a third party app, you can click on the "..." menu on a post or a person's profile and select Direct Message. This then automatically creates a direct message just like the one in the previous method. You can also look at your previous DMs by clicking on the envelope or the "Direct Message" link in the menu.
The official apps don't currently have any specific DM features, but you can use the first method in them and it works fine.
The end result of both methods is exactly the same.
