In case anyone missed it, my accounts are not automated! I'm an actual human being sitting here typing this 🙂

If you want any help with using Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, feel free to ask! To get in touch you can mention me or DM me or reply to any of my threads, whatever you find easiest.

This account is mainly meant to be about helping people directly rather than just doing mass audience posts. I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people.

@FediTips To thou who has offered to help the unwashed masses, I make this plea:

I'm using Mastodon on my phone, via the webpage of my host server, not an app. Whenever I rotate to landscape (usually on accident), it moves me from my home feed to "Getting Started", but it doesn't move me back when I return, meaning I lose my place.

Is there a setting to turn off that behavior? Is it secretly helpful in some way I'm missing?

Are you using the advanced web interface? You can check by going to ⚙️ Preferences and seeing if the "Enable advanced web interface" option is ticked.

Generally it's better not to use the advanced web interface on phones as it's mainly designed for large wide screens.

@FediTips you're the best, that was totally it!

Thanks a million

@blargyblargh

Yay! Brilliant to hear it worked 🥳

@FediTips @blargyblargh

Is it wrong, that I feel like I just witnessed a miracle? Sorcery! Truly lovely that, tho. 😍
