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.)

Welcome to Fedicate, We are an invite only Sharkey Instance built to help bring friends and family into the world of the Fediverse.

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.

how smooth is the process of changing an account handle? e.g. If I rename one of my Mastodon accounts, will there be followers on other servers who don’t receive the update?

Soyons précis, c'est un mot-croisillon

#️⃣ Petit sondage sur votre mot favori pour les hashtags quand il s'agit d'en parler en franchouillant gaiement. Techniquement, le caractère # est un croisillon et pas un dièse. Mais sur Mastodon on parle de...

Quel est votre app Mastodon préférée en ce moment ?

Pour ma part, j'en utilise trois sur mon smartphone : l'app "officielle" Mastodon pour mon compte perso, l'app @moshidon pour gérer les autres comptes que j'administre (ça m'évite de me tromper de compte quand je poste), et l'app @trunksapp parce que l'ergonomie est très sympa et assez originale.
