FediTips has moved!Jan 20, 2023

There are three main timelines on here:

🏠 Home - Posts from people you follow, plus posts featuring hashtags you follow

👥 Local - Public posts from people on your server

🌎 Federated - Public posts from people on any server

On the official Mastodon app, Local is known as "Community" and can be accessed by clicking the magnifying glass 🔍 and scrolling across to the Community tab.

There are no algorithms hiding or moving stuff. You see all the posts for each feed in chronological order.

@feditips is there a way of pausing the federated feed to be able to scroll through & read it? It is constantly updating, obviously!

Yes, there is! It's called slow mode.

On the website, go to ⚙️ Preferences, tick the "Slow Mode" box, then click "Save Changes".

This will stop new posts from appearing. When you're ready to see new posts, click the link at the top to reveal them.

@feditips hmm, I’ve got it saved to slow mode but it’s still whizzing by 🤔.
