#Mastodon Questions from a Total Noob:
- How do I post a gif?
- How do I change the header image on my profile?
- Are brands and publications over here?
- What’s the best way to find conversations/posts that are very active in real time?
- What should I know to make the most of this channel?
- What’s considered poor form here?
- Am I able to make lists similar to that feature on Twitter?
Doing my own research but would love to hear directly from the #mastodoncommunity! Thank you in advance! 🤘

@alanajoy Hello! And welcome to Mastodon. Been here for a week, and my anxiety has gone down. Anywhoo,

Gif: You best bet is to use Metatext for iphone to get the BEST Mastodon experience on the go including posting gifs from giphy.

Header image: Profile settings. Edit Profile

Hashtags are the way to go over here! You can also follow Hashtags. So Hashtag it out!

@alchemystic I’m using the app however do not see where to edit my header image… 🫣 Under profile settings there is no option and when I click Edit profile there’s nothing there either: what am I missing? 🙏
@alanajoy which app are you using, and on is it on iphone or android?
@alchemystic It’s the Mastodon for iPhone app
@alanajoy ahhh yes....no. use Metatext for iphone. The official app for iOS is horrible I heard and they are busy working on it.
@alchemystic THANK YOU!! Will download now 🙏🙏🙏
