Hehe, clever me (not). I use Fedilab as mobile client, for context.
For couple of weeks I was thinking, why some my followers not posting, like, its servers went off or something, don't know.
Then today though invide my mind - what if they were all muted!
And yes, fedilab has poor icon buttons without descriptions and i was muting, thinking i was setting notifications for followers XD
It wasn't I was ghosting you all, I wasn't see you XD

Wie geil ist Mastodon bitte, dass man einen Tag abonnieren kann. Habe seit kurzer Zeit den Tag "GoodNews" abonniert (absichtlich nicht als Tag geschrieben hier, weil ich den Tag mit meiner Meinung nicht missbrauchen möchte). Mein Feed ist so viel positiver jetzt. Hammer! Und danke an alle, die diesen Tag sinngemäß nutzen und den Feed somit einfach wundervoller machen. ♥️

Remember: Mastodon has a notes field for profiles afaik they are not shared with the other person (I imagine your admin might be able to see them though but do NOT quote me on that) And yes, if they follow proper account migrating procedures (as in: make a new account they transfer their follows to, not an alt for like baseball or gamedev or something) the note migrates too and prefaces the note by noting they migrated from [previous handle] You can do things like: * Write down that this person is older than you by 3 years * Write down this person's favorite color * Write down the names of their pets * Write down the grievances and judgments you have with them I personally don't recommend it for birthdays (As Calendars work better for that in my opinion) but if you have something you don't want to forget about them, like their favorite movie or something, Add it to the personal note!

If you want to use this feature, make sure that you are on a #Mastodon instance that updates fairly regularly.

My previous instance, for example, was stuck on 4.2, and the admin made clear that he had no interest in putting in the effort to maintain it further.

You can see your current version on the bottom of the web page. If the version is too old, you might consider migrating to a new instance. Sure, your old posts will remain on your old instance - but your connections and bookmarks will move with you.

#feditip don't just block me, defed my whole instance we are all like this
Here's something really useful I've found.

One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.

But.

If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.

This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.

Here's the solution.

First, follow @_followback

It will follow you back.

And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.

So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.

Here's where the magic happens.

The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.

So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.

And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.

And it works for all hashtags.

Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub

So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.

Or @news follows all posts using #news
