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 Any tips on posting gifs? I can’t seem to figure out how to efficiently do this on the official mastodon app, sometimes they are animated and sometimes they are still images and I can’t really figure out why

@kmstrube81

How are you posting GIFs? Are you uploading GIF files or copy-pasting addresses from GIF services?

@FediTips I’ve tried it both ways. Let me copy one first and see what it does. https://media.tenor.com/ZG_GeJrT6_gAAAAM/ioneemno-word.gif
@FediTips vs uploading

@kmstrube81

Yeah, neither of those work 😞

Can you try doing the same methods via your server's website too? (For you that would be https://techhub.social)

It might be a bug in the official app.
