Mastodon newbie protip: don't click the "remote follow" button. Just copy the user's URL and paste it into the search bar of your home instance, then click the follow button (the little icon of a person with a "+" on it).

Not only is "remote follow" slower and more awkward; it's a potential security risk, because a malicious instance could trick you into giving them your password (if you're not paying attention to the URL bar).

If you like the work I put into Mastodon, especially now in the role as PM, feel free to throw some dollars at me via Patreon.

One of my goals is to highlight a lot of our contributors patreons or paypal.me links, or at least to help facilitate this somehow. If anyone wanna start a roundup, I'd be much obliged!

Yes, there are languages other than english on the federated timeline, quel horreur!!. This is a feature, not a bug. Insisting that it is only english is horrible for more reasons than I have space to talk about here.

If you do want to suggest something to get a timeline where you can read all the posts don't be a racist dickbag while you do it.

Example: asking for language tags on toots may actually be useful, saying something about escaping the rice and sushi is fucking terrible
