@erazlogo Again, thank you SO MUCH! This is a very good resource and I was really struggling to find something that I thought should be easily available. I’m adding your search method tips to my list of “to dos” when I’m on the hunt for hard sources!

@JeromeySims @histodons @histodon First, look for an out-of-copyright version of the book (1921 edition not 1969). Copyright-free and government publications are often on archive.org - search there first (your book wasn't there). GoogleBooks sometimes also includes full pdf of government publications but it did not in this case. Then just do web searches on variations of [title/author "pdf"] & see who else might have it. Library of Congress and HathiTrust are possible sites but there are others.

@erazlogo @histodons @histodon OMG This is perfect!!! Thank you! Ok - in the interest of trying to learn how to better find these things - how/where did you search for this? This is so awesome

Hey #histodons @histodons and @histodon - Anybody have a good online link for this government document? I’ve only found physical books printed by private press, and I just don’t even understand how it’s not available online somewhere. (Any digital version is fine - this link is just for clarity. I’m looking for the transcript of the US House Rules Committee hearings on the KKK in October 1921.)

Details for: Hearings on the Ku Klux Klan, 1921. › John Bulow Campbell Library catalog

Can anyone recommend a desktop app for Mac that will do what Metatext did for my phone? Smoother, simpler, DMs separated out? Mastonaut maybe?

This may be obvious tip but I really didn't start taking advantage of this until today.

Mastodon has a clean URL structure. Until it becomes possible to follow hashtags easily (in v4?), I found it easiest to save URLs for them in my bookmark bar. This looks like http://[your instance server]/web/timelines/tag/[hashtag]. So for ex., for me on social.coop, my #histodons bookmark is:

https://social.coop/web/timelines/tag/histodons

if not logged in, it converts to:

https://social.coop/tags/histodons

#histodons

These are public posts tagged with #histodons. You can interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

@janasanchez Hiiiiiii !!!! I’ve switched to MetaText app on my iPhone. I found it more user-friendly. If you still have trouble and want to chat, send me a text or msg on Signal and I’ll do my best! Glad to see you here, friend!
