#MASTODONTIPS HUGE THREAD!

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it. πŸ˜πŸ‘

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. πŸ‘πŸΌ

How To Easily Migrate your Mastodon Account to Another Server without losing your Followers

YouTube

Following on from this Initial Mastodon Guide, I have been seeing a lot of people asking for tips on how to find people and content to fill in their Home Timeline.
I decided to make a follow up video on how to best use search and also cover why sometimes you don't get the results you expect.

Any boosts will be appreciated to help others improve their Mastodon experience.

How to Find and Follow People and Content on Mastodon

YouTube

OK, well this is getting far more interesting for me! 😎
Given the open nature of the #ActivityPub protocol, it is possible to pull in the Instagram alternative, Pixelfed, into your Mastodon Home Timeline.
This is great for those looking for an alternative to Instagram, but not wanting to use yet another app.

Here is another short video on how this works and how you can use it yourself!

This seems to be becoming a habit of mine now as I begin to use Mastodon more and continue to learn more about it each day.

This one covers the options available to you when posting content such as Alt Text and Content Warnings but also talks about language settings and using filters to tidy up your timelines.

Any boosts will be greatly appreciated so we can help everyone get the most out of Mastodon.

Yet another short video to add to the list of guides.
This one covers how to make use of the Advanced Web Interface to really tailor your web experience for #Mastodon.

For those that are used to things like #tweetdeck or the app #tweeten on Windows, this will be very familiar to you. And best of all, it is built right into Mastodon natively.

As always, boosts are appreciated to get the message out to all the newcomers.

Take Control of Your Mastodon Feed with Filter Features

I shared a video earlier in this thread about how to #migrate your account to another server and ensure your followers come along for the ride, but how do you move other data such as the people you #follow, #mute or #block?
This video walks through this process step by step to make it as seamless for you as possible.

Yet again, thanks for the #boost and extra thanks to those that subbed to my channel.

I still haven't run out of tips to share...  
Lists are a feature many are used to from the Bird Site, but they function differently here. They are a great tool for you to make your own custom timelines.

Check out this short guide video on what lists are as well as how to set them up for yourself.

Yet again, thanks for the #boosts and subs. I love the culture of sharing here.

Organize Your Mastodon Feed with the Power of Lists

Direct Messages on Mastodon are probably one of the most confusing things for new users as they aren't really like messages on other platforms.

I have done my best to explain what they are in a few minutes for you all here. Check it out and let me know if it helps.
More tips still to come so stay tuned.

Please give it a #boost if you can to help spread the knowledge around the Fediverse.

How To Create and View Direct Messages on Mastodon

I love seeing all the new members joining the platform, but this does mean that with more people, you may feel the need to #mute or #block an account on #Mastodon. That is fine, your experience on this platform should be dictated by you and you alone.
So, I made this short guide to help you better navigate how to use this feature.

Please give it a #boost if you can to help spread the knowledge around the Fediverse.

Take Control of Your Feed with Muting and Blocking on Mastodon

A little known feature of #Mastodon is the ability to create your own personal notes about an account.
This is a great way to potentially remind yourself why you follow particular accounts (or just about any other reason you can think of).

Also, these notes are private. The account does not know what you have written down, nor the fact that you have even made these notes.

Please #boost to help spread the knowledge around your networks. ☺️

@paulomalley only available on browser? I don’t seem to have in app.

@ManicBookkeeper That will likely depend on the mobile app you are using. Some do support it but others at the moment are waiting to be updated.

I don't believe the official apps have support yet but I know that Tusky Nightly on Android does (but it's a beta build currently).

@paulomalley I’m cool waiting. Just wondered if maybe it was on a different spot on app.
