How to block Threads on Mastodon (privacy.thenexus.today)
Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords? Opinions differ! If you’re one of the fediverse influencers who sees Threads arrival it as “historic” and “a glimpse of the future” … well, you might want to skip this post....

Why does mastodon show news ?
In the Mastodon app, there is a News tab, why is that ? Is it a way do monetize the service or just a help to check up on the hot news going on on Mastodon ?
How do I engage?
I never used Twitter. Reddit was the only social media I engaged/posted on for years, moved to Lemmy a couple months ago. I made an account on Mastodon, downloaded moshidon, followed a bunch of hashtags, now I don’t know what to do. Do I just start posting “Facebook status” type posts? Is Mastodon basically like individual...
What server should I join?
I’m thinking about joining mastodon, but I don’t know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I’ll open an account on mastodon.social....

What's a good Mastodon instance focused on videogames? (meaningful discussion & news, not memes)
The way I used Twitter was by aggresively muting, blocking & managing the interests functionality through the years until I pruned my home page to mostly show me meaningful discussion about videogames (and a bit of other media), some relevant news, including a good balance of AAA and indie stuff as well as a a balance of...
Why don't my Kbin posts appear on mastodon?
When I look at mastodon.social/@RimWorldPorn there is a group, but nothing ever appears there when something is created on /r/rimworldporn...
Newbie on Mastodon: where is an overview of my subscriptions?
I did not use twitter, but i decided to check out mastodon. One thing is a mystery to me; i can’t find an overview of the accounts i started following, when i use mastodon on the web. Here on Lemmy, for instance in the Photon app i use on the web, my subscriptions are neatly positioned in the sidebar; one click and i’m...

Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.

Looks like this is still not implemented. But are there Android apps with this feature?
What happened to c.im?
Maybe I missed something, so my apologies if this is a stupid question— but what happened to the c.im instance? I’ve periodically checked the last 24 hours and haven’t been able to connect....
Is there a way to filter posts that are only in your language?
I follow a few hashtags and occasionally I get posts that aren’t in English on my feed. It’s not that big of deal but it’s be nice if there was a way to ignore posts that aren’t in my set language or a way to auto translate them since I only speak English. I’ve been using the official mastodon app and it can give me...
Fantasy football or just sport related servers?
I’m wondering if there are sport related servers, or more specifically fantasy football(USA). I couldn’t really find any but I’m hoping someone else might know of one. I tried fantasy football hashtags but there just doesn’t seem to be much activity but idk if those are just ones located on the server I chose. Or if the...
Even though your account is not locked, the mastodon.world staff thought you might want to review follow requests from these accounts manually. (lemmy.world)
Never seen this before and thought it was interesting, a feature of Mastodon apparently? Wondering if this feature might allow the moderator to note why they took such action against the account in question? I’m mainly curious. The account that brought this up is @alt_Budget_cuts and appears to be a person or bot to be bot...
If I have already signed up to a specific server, and want to change which server I'm signed up to, how can I do that without deleting my account?
The title says it all.
Automatic boosting of secondary account?
I would like to split my Mastodon acctivity to two accounts because I have german and english speaking followers. The english speakers don’t need the german stuff but I would like to have the english stuff on the german one so I need some way to auto boost all posts from the english account with my german one.
Is there a Mastodon instance that scraps Twitter like Nitter?
It would be interesting to see Nitter integrated in a Mastodon instance. There are some accounts in Twitter worth following in all this noise, and getting their feed natively in Mastodon would be super nice without all the ads and algorithm crap.

I don’t think this post is anti semitic or promoting a hateful ideology, it is me expressing a known fact that Israel and its lobby groups heavily lobbying the US. Simple as that....
