FediTips has moved!Woo, edit button just went live on mastodon.online! 🥳
Apparently it will be rolled out to all Mastodon servers in the next update.
(This only works if you're logged in on the website by the way, not the app.)
Dave Warnock@feditips will people know the toot has been edited and which boosts were before the edit etc?
Yes, there will be a label saying it's been edited and when it was edited. Also people who replied before the edit will get a notification. Don't know about boosts yet, only just saw this 😁
@feditips awesome, thanks
Velocipede Rider@feditips Impatient instance admins can enable it earlier using this tip from @josh if they so desire

I wrote up some instructions on how to enable the "Edit button" on your Mastodon instance, if anyone's interested. Basically edit 1. app/javascript/mastodon/components/status_action_bar.js 2. app/javascript/mastodon/features/status/components/action_bar.js Uncomment menu.push({ text: intl.formatMessage(messages.edit), action: this.handleEditClick }); Do a yarn run build:production and restart your Mastodon services and that should enable it! Boosts appreciated 🔁 https://phocks.notion.site/How-to-enable-Mastodon-s-secret-edit-button-on-a-v3-5-3-instance-8c63841befec40a090f44eb85967bc8b

Synth Morxemplum@feditips mastodon.social has this already. Maybe mastodon.social got these features because it's Gargron's instance?
Yes, mastodon.social and mastodon.online are both owned by the Mastodon developers. They often use them for doing final tests on new features just before release.

Luc@feditips It does work in the Metatext app on iOS though!
Word_Whiz@feditips Great start! Would be nice to have an edit function on the app too.🙂
Chedim@Word_Whiz @feditips ahahahha, lol, never!
But seriously, that would be nice. The number of times I had to decide whether to delete a tweet because of a typo or leave it is just crazy!

Nice, but it does need to be on the app too.
Nice, but it does need to be on the app too.
Yes, definitely. I assume the official app will get this when it's updated.
I think someone mentioned a third party app that already has this? It's worth trying out the third party apps because they generally have more features than the official one.
Third party apps are listed on the official site at https://joinmastodon.org/apps
Tuxicoman@feditips what is the difference with delete and repost?
Daniel Sohl@tuxicoman @feditips Delete and repost would create an entirely new post. If anybody replied or starred or boosted the original, that would be lost. Editing keeps those responses.
Edit - Edits the post
Delete & re-draft - Deletes the post, and pastes a copy of that post into the editing box. You can then make changes and re-post, but it will technically be a new post. (Yes this is complicated, the only reason this exists is because Edit didn't exist then. They might remove this option in the future.
Delete - Deletes the post
