FerretFor those of us who aren’t neurotypical, especially those who also have other mental health issues, I strongly recommend using the filters that can be found on your server’s settings page.

If you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse, please feel free to reply, or mention me, or send a message! 🙂 I'm trying to provide unofficial direct tech support for using this place. There is no such thing as a silly question, especially keen to help new or non-technical people who want answers in plain language. If you prefer not to ask, you can find lots of help on the website at https://fedi.tips #FediTips

I know the more corporate side of the Fedi really don’t like considering how they post but try to do better than this guy, who I consider to be a bot at this point. The Fedi culture for us old hats though is about consideration, care, and community aware. I’m sure you bristle at those words because to you, you want to be a brand, not a community member but if you take the time to practice some of the below #FediTips I can promise you that you won’t feel so lonely out here.
Consider who is here. There are many kinds of people with all different kinds of lives very different from you. Consider how they are able to read your post. If they are unable to read it, due to a lack of a content warning, or a completely inaccessible picture like this, you won’t get the “engagement” you’re looking for.
Contemplate how you want to appear to others and why. It’s okay to slow down and or not post at all.
I’m guilty of being human. I rant. I share stuff I make or read. I read the timeline more than I reply but I consider who might be following me. That’s why I’m never afraid of the content warning, especially when making long posts such as this or when I’m talking US stuff. I consider not every phone has a huge screen so I put it behind a content warning. This is also why I do not reply to everybody even though I might be reading your posts every single day. I just do not have anything of substance to contribute so why should I flood your notifications?
Consider there are blind people and Deaf people here.
Care about the access of your post.
Engage with your community.
Everybody I see here that wants to transform this place to be more like mainstream social media isn’t taking the time to learn about the people on their own instance.
I know about the absolutely rampant racism on here, but there are good communities and good neighbors on here. Meet them. Slow down and learn about your community!
Now I’m off to mute this guy. I know he’s very popular, but I get more out of his Substack than whatever this account is and I HATE #SubStack but the bigger point is this quoted toot is an example of the kind of accounts I tend to just mute.
Oh and boost a lot! Boosting is caring! It's how my instance can see other smaller instances. I love boosts, reading boosts, and boosting others!

You do not have to use Mastodon through its official mobile app! There are many other ways of using your Mastodon account, and most people who try the alternatives tend to prefer them. The most popular alternatives are third party apps and your server's own website. These tend to have more features and faster updates. You can find out more at: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use-should-i-use-the-official-app-or-a-third-party-app However you access Mastodon, it's still your same account and same server 🙂 #FediTips #Mastodon

stibMeta-question: if I boost a post, sometimes I end up seeing all the replies to it in my mentions, and I have to mute the thread.
It only happens sometimes though. How do I stop that happening?
