OK, now I understand why I'm seeing all the #JohnMastodon jokes. 😂

A writer misread the Mastodon account that was banned from Twitter as "John Mastodon" instead of "Join Mastodon."

06/12/2022 Update: Visibility assessment for full list complete!

Hey everyone.

I made a list of the top 120 servers on #Mastodon for you to to see where you want to go and interact (or perhaps change server).

The product is completely free.
When prompted to pay, please press $0.

You have:

✅ server
✅ country
✅ population
✅ server details
✅ visibility assessment

You can access the list from here: https://titanborn.gumroad.com/l/top120servers

🔁 Boosts are appreciated. Updated monthly.

The third party Android app Tusky has just been updated to version 20 in Google Play.

The new version allows you to follow hashtags within the app itself, instead of having to log in through the website first. ("Click on a hashtag and then on the icon in the toolbar.")

The third party app Fedilab also supports this.

If you are still using the official Android app, you might want to try Tusky or Fedilab instead.

(For F-Droid users, Tusky should be updated there soon.)

TIP OF THE DAY

A Pinned Thread on Threading and Pinning

While different, threading in Mastodon is actually pretty good. People are familiar with Twitter threads that link one post to the next in chronological order. You can do this on Mastodon too, but it’s a little less polished.

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.
