I have to be so careful with my filter settings because there are things I don't want popping up on my home feed at random, but I don't want to exclude people casually talking about specific topics. I don't like seeing inflation art, but if I filter the word "inflation" or "inflate" then my home page can't show me a cool time lapse of a bouncy castle blowing up or something, idk

Word filters are very useful and better most of the time, but I think we should be able to do the same to specific hashtags without filtering the words within them.

Immer wieder verpassen User*innen hier, dass neue Features in Mastodon eingebaut wurden und sie ihre Einstellungen anpassen sollten, um davon zu profitieren.

Ich habe ein Issue geöffnet, um anzuregen, dass Mastodon für Updates mit neuen Features den Instanz-Admins einen Entwurf für eine Server-Ankündigung mit den wichtigsten Inhalten zur Verfügung stellt:

So I spent a lot of time writing a post...which I think was kinda irrelevant but I wrote it due to me being excited with a Mastodon feature.

This can be seen in this screenshot I'm adding here:

Not a complaint comment: It would make more sense to me if the Fedi users showing up were mutual follows...just saying! No judgement!

I don't like that I can't close filtered posts again once opened :/

Looking for a solution to filter out AI-generated images on Mastodon. Any suggestions?

I'm not going to lie: automatically expiring mutes are how I've managed to keep several people in my feed.

Don't get me wrong, I like reading what these people post. Most of the time. But sometimes they overwhelm my timeline, and I need a break. The ability to mute these accounts for a couple hours is why I can keep them around. If I couldn't do that I'd have to drop them.

Great feature!

Hello everyone! Nicholas is back with another post, and today I want to dive into some valuable features on Mastodon that you should definitely consider enabling to increase your visibility and engagement.

Let’s start with your profile visibility. If you're looking to expand your reach and get more followers, there's a key feature you need to activate. Head over to the "Privacy and Reach" settings on your Mastodon account, and make sure to click on the option labeled "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms." This feature plays a vital role in boosting your presence within the Mastodon network by making your profile and posts easier to discover for users who are browsing the platform. By enabling it, your content becomes more likely to appear in people’s feeds, which in turn can help you attract more followers and interact with a broader audience.

But that's not all! If you’re hoping to have your profile and posts appear beyond Mastodon—especially on popular search engines like Google, Bing, and others—there’s another setting that you’ll want to toggle on. Make sure to enable the option "Include profile page in search engines." By doing this, you’re allowing your profile page to be indexed and show up in search engine results, which can be a game changer for expanding your reach outside of the platform. When people search for your name or keywords related to your content, your Mastodon profile could pop up, offering a new way for potential followers to discover you.

Taking advantage of these features will give you a much better chance to connect with a larger audience, not only within Mastodon but across the internet. It’s an easy yet effective way to make sure your profile stands out and gets the attention it deserves.
