cragsand, (edited ) Welcome new 🐘 people!
Some #feditips 👇:fedi:To disable the #notification sounds in #mastodon:
- Click the bell 🔔 on the right hand sidebar
- Then the 3 knobs 🎚 icon and uncheck sound
If you miss the #twitter look try the custom user interface called #elk #elkapp:
- https://elk.zone
- Some servers have it locally but it can connect to others as well
Words:
- Post/Toot = Tweet
- Boost = Retweet
- Favorite = Like
Boosting a post shows it on your feed. Favoriting a post will show it to the author:
- Others can only see your favs by clicking that post
- You can't lookup others favs so use them freely
- You can search posts you've fav:ed from the #️⃣ explore button on the right sidebar
Some instances allow longer messages. This depends on each servers settings.
To make posts #searchable by others:
- Use #hashtags
- Only a few servers like https://infosec.exchange and https://mastodon.social support #FullTextSearch
- This feature is coming for all servers soon in V4.2.0
Cheers!
