@Mastodon شكرا لكم ..ولجهودكم🌹

@Mastodon Wonderful additions to really help provide communities with better control.

I would love for you to add an optional age verification method to allow better control of what content the user wants to interact with.

@Mastodon Anyone can fake their age but please add some good custom emoji to this server. 95% custom emoji sucks here. And can you please add some more custom field in profile like Fedibird? It has 8 custom field while Mastodon has 4.

Thanks

@tasinone @Mastodon Why not try a different server? The whole appeal is you get to pick. Also this is their announcements profile, & you might have better luck asking the admins or moderators for your server, which you might be able to find a list of at https://mastodon.social/about
@Mastodon Will it include an update of Dutch translations, too? Because there are a lot of errors.
@EllenB we appreciate any community support with translations! You can take a look at https://crowdin.com/project/mastodon to propose improvements to individual languages. Our team speaks several languages, but we do not cover every possible language option between us.

@Mastodon I looked, but didn't find where to correct wrong translations.

@EllenB @Mastodon

@benroyce @Mastodon How? When I tap on Dutch I get a list of things. None of them "Correct wrong translations".

@EllenB @Mastodon

I'm a guy who speaks only English (and embarrassing tourist Spanish) so I've never used it

There's features you can access but I don't know if they're enabled for everyone (probably to prevent vandalism). But there is a contact a manager feature and maybe they can enable it for you:

@benroyce @Mastodon Thanks Ben. I'd love to help out instead of complain. When I find out I'll share with fellow Dutchies.

@falken thank you! Will check on that.
@falken fixed, many thanks for letting us know!

@Mastodon When do we finally get those algorithms to decide what we need to see?

And when can we expect ads?

@Mastodon hello, just did a reseach about social media that isn't about making people rich and maybe this result is useful to you too. If you can strengthen SEO, you might get far. :)
"compared to an average post on facebook, what is the ranking...google among the relevant topics? ChatGPT said:
Google ranking: because Mastodon instances aren’t optimized for SEO, even highly boosted toots usually fall on page 2–3 (positions 15–30) in Google results for related keyword searches

@shopdgloria @Mastodon Ideally SEO should be a per-instance, or per-user choice. Some users might not want to optimize their content for SEO, because they don't want that.
