Tips for when you're requesting technical help:
Don't just say "I'm having trouble with this." tThat is 100% unhelpful. Provide /as much/ information as you can. Screenshots, error messages, everything. Be absolutely specific.
(Yes I am banging my head against a wall right now trying desperately to help someone with a problem but gosh I am not having an easy time of it, which sucks because I want them to not have a problem as I'm sure it's frustrating for them too :( )

a while ago i heard "hippies are mean people pretending to be nice, and punks are nice people pretending to be mean" & i've been thinking about that ever since

#FediTips : Please don’t use “fancy text” in your display names, bios, or posts. Screenreaders can’t read these symbols as normal latin characters. Unless you want your name to be read as “mathematical script small I, mathematical script small R” and so on, use standard symbols in your display name.

For real, though, when I was new to the Fediverse (and, to be fair, it was a slightly different Fediverse back then), one of the more frustrating things was people explaining the Fediverse by comparing it to Twitter, so I, having never used Twitter, had to figure out what, like, the various Twitter conventions were in order to be on the Fediverse.

This is a joke about Fedi culture
Anyway, welcome to Fedi, which basically means you signed up to become a member of a local anarchist collective, you have been given a fursona, and you've been assigned an episode of Deep Space Nine to write a 1500 word essay on (yes this will be on the quiz)

Hello new people! A friendly reminder that image descriptions help make this site accessible to all sorts of people! They can be as short or as descriptive as you want them to be, but including them with your visual posts is important.

A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:
If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!

new people I do promise that outside of new user influxes, we do talk about stuff other than just activitypub design and how twitter is bad, like, uhhh, jorts and meowing

listen, i'm glad everyone is here/back but platform metacommentary alone won't be enough to make this stick. you need to start posting inane nonsense
what did you eat today. did you see any cool bugs

Don't you love it when you do the first 90% of the problem in planning only to find out there's another 90% of the problem left in finding out what the problem actually is and yet another 90% implementing it

okay nog een paar vragen rondom mastodon:
1 wat is een beetje de cultuur rondom favourites, 'k zie mensen van twitter elke reply favouriten zoals ze op twitter deden maar mensen die mastodon langer gebruiken schijnen het conservatiever te gebruiken, althans ik zie constant posts met meer boosts dan favourites?
2 hoe te verdelen welke info in bio, metadata en pinned posts te zetten?
3 kan ik dat bloep geluidje van notifs uitzetten (ik zit direct op het webadres van todon.eu, die ik op m'n telefoons home screen heb gezet, en kan het in settings zo gauw niet vinden)
