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 ?
This magazine is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

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...
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....
Hi everyone,...
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...
When I look at mastodon.social/@RimWorldPorn there is a group, but nothing ever appears there when something is created on /r/rimworldporn...
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...
Looks like this is still not implemented. But are there Android apps with this feature?
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....
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...
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...
The title says it all.
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.
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 just downloaded the app to see what’s all the hype about, and once again, I’m asked to pick a group, in this case, a server....

I’ve yet to make an account on Mastodon and I’m wondering, how good are its consistency guarantees? Do posts get lost? Will they eventually get to all federated instances?...
With the recent influx my instance is barely able to keep up. I am talking about loading times of 10 seconds and more for thread comments which are near instantaneous for smaller servers. Search is technically unusable....

I’m new to mastodon, never had twitter. But I’m open to trying something new after leaving reddit....
Hello, I want to switch to mastodon from twitter can anyone suggest me the best app on iOS to make the transition.
I know this has been the norm on Twitter, but I’m getting tired of seeing people use mock names like “Melon Usk”, “the Muskrat” when referring to Elon Musk, or “the Cheetoh”, “the Grump” when talking about Trump, and so on....
Can you browse and post on Mastodon using lemmy? I have been able to suscribe to magazines on kbin from here- is the same true for mastadon's instances?
Android - I like Fedilab but it deleted my username/pw on upgrade. I have Tusky as a backup.
