Zarton, HelpdeskOk, going to 🧵 some getting started on Mastodon stuff for my own sake...
So far, the absolute #1 place to start is this single (but lengthy) page:
/Apps/
There are many ways to consume Mastodon.
So far, I've tried to the 'official' Mastodon app, Tusky, SubwayToot, and via browser (mobile).
Atm, by far the best is browser. It's the only way to access certain features, like edit post...and the only option with translation.
About translation...
So far, the only option I've seen is to use Mastodon in your browser...
BUT...
I believe it matters which server/instance you're on. For example, I get a translate option on mastodon.social but not on ohai.social
Ah, so you can filter out languages in the timelines:
"filter timelines by language by going to Preferences > Other > Filter languages, tick the boxes for languages you want" - https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#SettingYourLanguagePreferences
