Microblogging Commented

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....

So is there any apps that fetches new posts on a tineline when starting the app?

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....

Elon Musk-owned social media company X could lose as much as $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as dozens of major brands pause their marketing campaigns, the New York Times reported on Friday.

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....

Android - I like Fedilab but it deleted my username/pw on upgrade. I have Tusky as a backup.

I HATE :...

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...

Yet another petition against Twitter’s name change, but it’s poorly written with bad English.

I am trying to get into Mastodon (never really used twitter before but I am curious about the fediverse) and it has been noticeably difficult to search for topics and content. Most search queries turn up blank or only with one or two posts. Some hashtags appear as suggested with “0 people talking” and indeed, they are empty....

damn :/

Mastodon.social is down. Pretty rare. What do now?

The recent excitement surrounding Thread’s arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don’t roll out the red carpet for them....

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...

The title says it all.

Does mastodon support groups or communities? like lemmy the users can make groups or communities and manage them.

Every day, they seem to be pretty much the exact same....

I found this blog post useful for explaining how to interact with Lemmy via Mastodon.

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?...
