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
A note about translation on Mastodon from @feditips ...
"Is there a built-in language translation system on Mastodon?
Yes, but it is currently still in testing on various servers including mastodon.online and mastodon social. It should be part of the next update once it’s released, which would make it available to all servers."
