@spytfyre oh, should ass that I’m in LA at the moment, so 8 hours behind the UK
@stephenfry @spytfyre i am told that you can edit posts (toots?) So you can fix typos apparently... But maybe there wasn't a typo at all...

@syps @stephenfry @spytfyre

It is called "delete and re-draft". Hit the three dots (...) at the bottom of your toot, pick "Delete & re-draft" from the pop-up menu. Note that the original toot gets removed, but the contents gets copied into your edit-box-thingy so you can re-write it.

Kinda cool, but, as mentioned, the drawback is that the original toot gets deleted, so bear that in mind if you have already had other people interact with it.

@Bro666 @stephenfry @spytfyre yes, I read here, https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/

“Can I edit my posts?
On Mastodon, post editing will be available in the next update but it’s not here yet. The feature has already been written and is in the code, but it hasn’t been activated yet.”
Apparently it is available in mastodon v4.0

@Bro666 @stephenfry @spytfyre and I see the option in the webinterface at mastodon.social

@Bro666 @syps @stephenfry @spytfyre

For servers running the very latest mastodon code there is actually a true “edit” option alongside delete and re-draft 😁

@wiredfire @syps @stephenfry @spytfyre

WHAT! 😍 That is huge.

@Bro666 @syps @stephenfry @spytfyre
Good, isn’t it 😁
You can also “follow” a hashtag on the latest software as well, which is fun (if used judiciously, can lead to an excessive timeline..!).

@syps @stephenfry @spytfyre

Turns out **you can** edit your toots on instance with the most recent version of the server software.

My bad, my apologies, but it is new and not yet available on all instances.

@stephenfry please be aware that Teamviewer gives the same access to the remote person as if they are using the same device you gave them access to. All your saved passwords, links to bank accounts, pensions etc!
@stephenfry @spytfyre You can edit your posts in the desktop version. Just an fyi.

@stephenfry @spytfyre I didn't meant this in a sexual way.

@stephenfry @spytfyre I'm in Llanarmon-Yn-Ial, so we're several centuries behind every one else.
