Mastodon feature request:
Filters should work on trending article headlines
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/37816
Filters automatically hide posts from Mastodon users that contain the words you're filtering for.
This feature should work on articles on the /explore/links page, too.
If you agree, please click through to Github using the link above and add your 👍 at the bottom of the first post. You'll need a Github account, so if you don't have/want one, please boost instead.
My top tip for getting into Mastodon is:
1) Make a post that says "hi, I'm interested in..." followed by like 10 hashtags about your interests.
2) Click and follow all the hashtags in your post.
3) People will boost your post and it'll go further because of the hashtags, due to the nature of the fediverse. Follow all the people who boost you; you can unfollow later if it's too many people.

What happens if you boost a toot from a Mastodon server that has gone offline (perhaps forever)? Does it work as normal, unless you try to visit the original website? Or do weird things break?
Below I will link to the test toot (that is currently unreachable). Next I will boost it.

Another reason instances (like .social) really should consider not having open signups is the sheer amount of dickpics posted in their public, federated timeline.
Same with porn.
There's a lot of (mostly) dudes who don't give a damn about the rule about marking NSFW content as sensitive, and I report stuff pretty much every time I browse the local timeline, and I assume the mods aren't just waiting around but are proactive too, so it's a continuous problem.

Today I had to unfollow someone because they posted a link to an article and a word I had filtered was in the article preview (but not the post text or the link URL), which was frustrating and sad.
Here is a feature request/bug report on the Mastodon Github issue list asking that filters also be applied to preview cards of links in posts:

Add a thumbs-up or a comment to the Github issue if you also want this to be fixed! :) (If you don't have an account but still want it to be fixed, maybe a boooost? 🚀)
Pitch When a term that is on a user's muted words list appears in a link preview (but not in the post's own text), that post should be filtered from the timeline. Motivation I'm a big fan of timeli...
YESSSSS someone's adding the ability to import/export filters to Mastodon!!!!
GIVE THEM SOME LOOOOOOVE
This PR adds import/export handling for custom filters in the same way that it works for other things like mutes or lists I recently moved between instances and had to manually recreate my many fil...
Mastodon has code for scheduling posts, but it's not in the default Mastodon user interface as an intentional choice.
If you'd like the ability to schedule posts ahead without using a third-party service, please add your 👍 and maybe a comment to this feature request on the Mastodon official issue list on Github:
I'm migrating the Gender Census account from @gendercensus to @gendercensus and I have to say, it is going much smoother than last time I tried to migrate accounts on Mastodon. :)
Nice one, developers!
