Tip: If you can download a CSV list of accounts you want to follow, you can upload it in your Mastodon web settings. For example, https://mastodon.social goes to mastodon.social on the web. Sign into your instance and go to (gear icon): Import and export. Import lists, export backups.
Is there someone who can help me about #friendica?
I'm kinda hopeless 🌚
Basically I can't open the settings of a forum account of mine on venera.social, all I get is a "Forbidden" alert. The thing is Friendica is a bit weird to me so I literally don't know how to reach the admins
is there a way on #mastodon or specifically on #icecubesapp to follow a thread, that is, to make all replies appear on the home timeline?
or, put differently, how to you follow conversations? #fedihelp#askmastodon#feditips
Ich bin überfordert. Kann mir irgendwer sagen, wie ich das heruntergeladene #Mastodon#Archiv öffne, bzw. auslesen kann? Hinweis auf eine #howto-Seite reicht. DANKE
If you could point me to different people who were part of developing these software solutions, that would be great. I got some of them, I would like to feature the champs that started/continued developing.
I promise it's nothing more than the straight-up promotion of this wonderful place.
With a mostly free calendar today, it's time to make some Fediverse shifts.
I'm leaning heavily toward migrating from my current #Mastodon account (which is shuttering in a couple of weeks) to #Calckey (which federates and has some other features beyond Mastodon).
But I want to do it properly so that not just my followers are migrated, but my posts as well.
The migration doc I was going to follow is now 404'ing.Can someone #FediHelp me with a good link?
Does anybody know if the #Mastodon#API allows attaching arbitrary personal metadata/notes to individual toots? I'm still thinking about my idea of a newsgroup-style client for Mastodon (or even better the Fediverse), and some way to track “read” status across clients/devices would be very nice. I know there's a marker API now, but I'm looking for something a bit more sophisticated.
OK maybe I can try this in English too. I'm looking for a #horror#comic or short #graphicNovel that was published in the #eighties or earlier and was a graphical representation of the well know “boyfriend's death” story (Sheriff finds the girl variant) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-boyfriends-death/
It was published on an Italian comics magazine in the 70s or 80s, but I'm sure it was American. I can't find the issue anymore. Anybody knows it? Boosts welcome for reach.
#fedihelp question: is there a special hashtag to post about commissions and browse other people's comes offers? I don't remember seeing one but I could be mistaken 🤔
Wie kann ich von einer Festplatte den Inhalt grafisch z.B. als Pixelbild darstellen? z.B. jedes Byte als Grauwert? Ich möchte eine formatierte Festplatte grafisch analysieren. Sind überall Nullen oder Einsen, oder Rest von Inhalten.
Gibt's da was? Oder stichprobenartig z.B. mit 'dd' einen Block lesen und darstellen?
#fedihelp Does anyone out there use the scriptwriting software Celtex? I have a 13 year old file on my computer and I can't open it anymore. I read somewhere that one could re-export it or something. Any ideas, hints? It's a short film script which is important to me, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Some people complain about the lack of an algorithm to surface posts on #Mastodon, because when they open up in the morning, they have to scroll back to see everything that was posted during their night.
I understand the temptation to do that, but I'd say, don't. One of the very best things about pre-algorithm Twitter was the immediacy. The "you snooze, you lose", "if you miss it, it's gone" philosophy. Losing that urgent, immediate nature of Twitter was one of the biggest reasons I raged so hard against the introduction of said algorithm, and one of the things I still miss the most -- and consequently, one of the biggest draws to Mastodon, and why I so wish I'd discovered it years ago already.
So when I sit down at my desk in the morning, I fire up @sengi_app (my Mastodon client of choice), and I start there. With what I can see in my timeline without scrolling. That's it. What happened before that is gone forever (unless someone I follow boosts it).
Similarly, I might quickly glance at Mastodon during the day, and I might interact with the posts I see there, but I won't scroll back. If I missed it, it's gone.
To me, that's one of the biggest joys of the network.
(Obviously, this excludes notifications. I will scroll through my notifications and respond to those that need response or some sort of actioning) :-)
I have a @Mastodon account on mastodon.social with followers I would like to keep. But I also have my own website at FredRocha.net, running ActivityPub. How do I keep both while having my posts on my FredRocha.net WordPress install be federated as john_fisherman@mastodon.social?
Is this a thing? Are there aliases on the #fediverse that are easy to setup?
Or it’s expected to have multiple ids over here and just boost’em from instance to instance?
As an individual user, if I block a whole instance does it stop my toots from going there (so my toots would never appear in that instance's view of the federated timeline)? Or does it only stop people on that instance from interacting with me?
Does anyone know how the tagging function works. I've got a column that was originally just tagged with #bikeNYC and I added #WildFlowerHourNYC and #pawPaw and I know I've messed it up. There are three categories and I don't know what they mean. Any of these, All of these, None of these. Actually the latter makes some sense. Maybe an logical expression would help. Time for #Fedihelp.
Is there a way to move followers from one #Fediverse service to another, for example from #Mastodon to #Calckey? Within a service (e.g. Mastodon) the move from one #Instance to another is possible without any problems. But across services?

I have an #eWaste problem that I would like to solve: two #dell laptops that refuse to boot. One lights up for a couple of seconds, before shutting down again. The other seems completely dead, even after replacing the battery. The laptops are otherwise in decent conditions and I would like to revitalize them for my kids as they come of age.
Any suggestions on disposing of this foam packing material? This isn't styrofoam, though I doubt that the local city will take it. Boosts welcome. #FediHelp#Recycling#Disposal
