I thought I couldn't quote-toot yet cause the clients I use (tusky and elk) haven't implemented it yet. But I just went to mastodon web and over there I can't quote either? What am I missing? Is it my server? Is it glitch-soc?

Hey y'all. What's up?

I’m trying to install Microsoft Word on Windows but running into issues. Downloaded Microsoft 365 from the official site, opened the EXE, and it keeps saying “could not install.” Anyone run into this before or know a fix?

Also open to alternatives for writing that sync well between phone and computer if Word keeps acting up.

Omg, stop it with the "We're Mastodon support" scams, no one believes you and you just look like a dick. Keep that shit on Twitter.

I'm sick of suspending your asses.

Seeing that the hashtag program is removing CamelCase / PascalCase formatting from
#HowMelaniaMetTrump in the suggestion list, turning it into #howmelaniamettrump

Which is disappointing.

Is this necessary?

In the Mastodon web interface, how do I post a message that has the visibility of a reply, but that isn't actually a reply?

I want to post a message that will be publicly visible, but that is shown by default only to people who follow both me and @ranjit . I can do this by replying to one of Ranjit's posts. But what if I want to start a new thread?

It appears in a post on the Mastodon app.
It appears on mastodon.social
It has no label that it is AI.
This image appears to be in violation of instance rules.

That the aparently AI image is in a link might not exempt the Post as displayed from having to stay inside the boundaries of instance rules.

Is there a way to NOT have infinite scroll on #mastodon ? Like have pagination instead? I've already got slow mode activated, but would like pagination.

How to migrate to a new Mastodon server taking your posts and media with you (in some way):

1. Load you archive in settings
2. Go to https://codeberg.org/oliphant/posty
3. Install or ask a friend with docker experience
4. Generate a PDF with your old posts
5. Upload and post the PDF with your new account

Thx @oli for the great work!

Turn your Mastodon archive file into a standalone static HTML site. Easy to customize, easy to search, all posts also indexed not just chronologically, but on tag pages.

Want to contact the admin of a Fediverse instance? Here’s a quick way to find them.

Most servers publish their admin contact details on the
/about page of their domain.

For example:
https://mastodon.social/about

There you can usually find the
admin’s email address and Fediverse handle.

You can also see the details for our Fedicate Social instance here:
https://social.fedicate.org/about
(Even though it's a Sharkey instance, the page works the same way.)

How do I follow someone on another instance? I click on Follow on their own page and it won't let me sign in*. I search for their profile on my instance and it doesn't appear. #MastodonHelp

*It's not that I can't sign in; I don't get the option to do so.
