I've asked for help with setting up a mastodon server before and gotten nothing.
Asking AGAIN. PLEASE
Its running and I can login with the admin account but its not getting anything from the fediverse, my other 3 accounts on different servers are not connecting. Please, someone help me.
At long last, beamship is LIVE!!! Thank you ALL. It was a DNS resolution error, was using our internal DNS 😭 so, THAT has a problem to... Next problem is the email system.
Update (10-27)
All is working up to the email confirmations. Still not sending messages to confirm new accounts and probably notifications.
Has anyone on this or other servers worked on the open source code for Mastodon? Issue 34 seems particularly problematic. I’ll pin this post to my account to make people aware but just because you can’t see a person posting doesn’t mean that they are inactive. Mastodon won’t show you posts a person made before you follow them (if they aren’t pinned). So follow people even if it looks like they aren’t posting and spread the word! #mastodon#mastondontips#mastodonhelp

Elon Musk, whose 2022 acquisition of X (then known as Twitter) included major cuts to content moderation around hate speech, drew a fresh wave of backlash this week by endorsing an antisemitic social media post that he described as “the actual truth." #AureFreePress#News#Musk#Twitter#Mastodon#socialmedia#mastodonhelp#Mastodonnews
@beardedtechguy and myself are still actively looking for a moderator for our instance AllThingsTech.social
We're looking for someone that has ideas on how to make the instance bigger and better, is very energetic and willing to help grow the instance and the community as much as possible.
We'd prefer to have someone that has had previous moderator experience within the #Fediverse
If we're supposed to use camel case for our HAsh Tags so screen readers can parse them, why do all the "suggested/autocorrected" hashtags on the website and the apps exclusively use lowercase letters?
There's some synergy missing here and it's frustrating, especially given how hashtags are basically mandatory
Finding a mastodon desktop client is hard. anyone got any recommendations? I'm fine with most features, but I want something where I can see someone's original posts without combing through all their boosts.
Can someone explain to me why I’m seeing posts from people I am not following in my “Following” feed on Mastodon?
They’re not boosted from people I follow. They’re straight up just posts from accounts on other instances I’m not even following. Is anyone else experiencing this?
EDIT: I am stupid. Found a single hashtag I forgot I was following. Feel free to ignore lol
