Hello 👋 We feel very lost!! Don’t even know how to add a pic to this 😭😭😭😭😭 #dogsoftwitter #dogsofmastodon #catsoftwitter
@OrchestraDog Helloooo from the Eastern Shire I have been copying and pasting pictures but on this Metatext app have found a paper clip that allows me to attach a photo from my photo library. I am using an iPad.
@OrchestraDog @jane63c
Yes….& if you have a Tenor gif keyboard, you can post gifs, too! You can download it, if you don’t have it! Olls x😊
@parsleysmum @OrchestraDog ooohhow do I do that?
@OrchestraDog @jane63c
Go to the App Store & type in Tenor GIF Keyboard…. this is it on the left…..
@jane63c @OrchestraDog
Just follow the instructions about updating your settings….when you’ve done it, you will have a globe on the bottom left, instead of an emoji! You can use it for gifs & emojis! Olls x😊
@OrchestraDog @parsleysmum @jane63c this seems like a bit of a red flag?
@OrchestraDog @lesp88 @jane63c
I just go onto settings & toggle the access off, when I’m not using Mastodon! Olls x😃
@jane63c @OrchestraDog
So I see! I've done my first edits too! Olls x😁
@OrchestraDog @parsleysmum have you worked out how to add folks to lists yet?
@jane63c @OrchestraDog
I haven’t tried that yet! I never used lists on Twit, either! Olls x🤔
@OrchestraDog @parsleysmum I didn’t either but wondered if it might make life easier
@OrchestraDog @jane63c
Right….click on your thumbnail pic, top left….on the Metatext app….& Lists is one of the options! Follow it’s instructions! Looks quite easy! Olls x😊
@OrchestraDog @parsleysmum I now have a list name but no idea how to add anyone to it! I shall Google
@OrchestraDog @jane63c
You should be able to add! Olls x😊
@parsleysmum @OrchestraDog yep, went to my following/ers and clicked on each one then on the three dots top right on each profile and found add/remove from list. Easy when you know how!
@jane63c thanks Jane 😀😀😀 I haven’t tried an app yet but am also using an iPad!
It’s like arriving in a foreign country to attend a course and gradually finding people who feel equally lost 😂😂😂
@OrchestraDog @jane63c
It’s much better on the web browser! Olls x😌
@OrchestraDog Click on the paper clip icon at the bottom when you're composing a post, then add alt text for accessibility. You can also move the white circle to adjust the area that shows in preview.

@OrchestraDog HI Scooby and Luna!! We are so happy that you are here. 😊 We are using our computer because it is easier. On the computer, you can see it on the upper left "Edit Profile". You attach pictures for the banner too.

Then when you create a post, it is on the left side of the screen. You can click on the paper clip so you can attach a picture from your computer. 😊 😆

@ChewbySnowTheChihuahuas I’m on an iPad but not using an app.
It’s only day one though 😂😂😂
@OrchestraDog Hi Scooby!!! I am attaching a picture now.
@ChewbySnowTheChihuahuas
Thanks guys 😘😘😘😘😘😘
@OrchestraDog We are here for you Scooby . 🤗 😊 😆 😄 😁 😀 😁 😄 😊 😃 😃 😆 🤗
@ChewbySnowTheChihuahuas
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@OrchestraDog Oh no, you will be able to do this Scooby. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗
@OrchestraDog I’m here 👋🏻👋🏻 I’ve worked out how to have a profile pic, but can’t work out how to get a banner photo like you’ve done. I’m soooo confused!
@DavidWilding271 @OrchestraDog
Are you on the browser? Most things are easier on the browser! Olls x☺️
@parsleysmum @OrchestraDog no…I’m in the app as I’m on the road…
@DavidWilding271 @OrchestraDog
Probably easier to wait till you can get on the browser! Now is it the actual Mastodon app you are using? If so, it’s not great! If your phone is iOS, you are better with the Metatext app…..or, if Android, the Tusky app! They are both designed to be used with Mastodon! Olls x😊
@parsleysmum @OrchestraDog oooh! Will take a look!
@OrchestraDog @DavidWilding271
Yes, the Mastodon techies all say not to use the app, but to use either of those! Once you get home & can use the browser, you’ll find a big difference! Olls x😊

@OrchestraDog

Hope this gets to you

@ThomasTomCat @OrchestraDog
It should do! Hopefully, nobody gives up! Olls x😊

@parsleysmum @OrchestraDog

We agree it does seem a nice place 😺x

@ThomasTomCat @OrchestraDog
It does….& Scooby is one of my best friends! I am his sister Luna’s honorary uncle! Olls x😊
@parsleysmum @ThomasTomCat
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@OrchestraDog Hi Spitzes! Nice to meet you and welcome to Mastodon. You'll soon figure it out, in the meanwhile, here's a photo of Pinkie the dog and Ford the cat having a cuddle.
@MizzBassie lovely to meet you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

@OrchestraDog

Hello good to meet you. We are also a little lost. There was some good advice yesterday about using a web browser or Meta app which I will forward to you when I work out how to, apparently easier than using the Mastodon app 😺🐾

@ThomasTomCat @OrchestraDog
Yes, on iOS, the Metatext app is far better than the Mastodon app! Olls x😊
@OrchestraDog hi there, it is a bit scary...
@JethroDog
Thanks pal! I just don’t know where to look for anything 😂
