Masthead

Masthead is a Social Networking Platform. With our new features, users can wonder posts,connect with each other, post photos, videos, earn money from their content, plus live stream. Plus we have introduced MobAds, also with this your content can be monetized. Added to this , their will be a Suggestions Tab at the top of the page , if there is something that you want to see , suggest it there , and we will look at it , SuperChat is already on the top One thing we were unable to do with the previous version was to develop, that's not the case with the new version , the sky is the limit!

@maxkennerly so much great info! This is exciting, building a new community where we can all get together and trash our terrible Supreme Court together. I really need to know where to commiserate about upcoming abominations from #SCOTUS

@maxkennerly is there a way to have these show up on or otherwise added to your Mastodon app without manually visiting them and/or creating an account on them?

@nemobis @martin @maxkennerly … this seems to me very problematic … it’s fundamentally too complicated to access various servers and feeds … it strikes me that this would be a good moment to make Mastodon a lot more user friendly/less complex…
Show threadCasey Glass, MDNov 8, 2022
@martin @maxkennerly same question …
Show threadGabriele PollaraNov 8, 2022

@Casey @martin @maxkennerly same question here too. Not seeing the benefit of the separation as it's so difficult to move between them, and it doesn't massively affect your own timeline that is dependent on who you follow.

Keen to learn more how to manage this issue and what the benefits are. Thank you.

@gpollara @Casey @maxkennerly turns out some apps let you do this (though not the official Mastodon one) — from https://transponderings.blog/2022/05/21/eight-mastodon-apps-for-iphone/
Eight Mastodon apps for iPhone

An in-depth comparative review of eight Mastodon apps for iPhone: Fedi, Mast, Mastodon, Mercury, Metatext, tooot, Toot! and Tootle.

@maxkennerly Whats the point of different servers? Am I supposed to bookmark the econtwitter instance when I feel like I need a dose? Or is it just to find people more easily that I can follow for the topic?
Show threadSethNov 19, 2022
@maxkennerly these links give you the federated feeds, but if you'd like to see what people on those servers only are posting, add "/local" to the end, example: https://journa.host/public/local
Journa.host

The server for working journalists and news outlets on Mastodon. Home to active & retired journalists, media scholars, and a variety of news and journalism adjacent professionals. #Newstodon

Mastodon hosted on journa.host
