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 don't think this post is anti semitic or promoting a hateful ideology, it is me expressing a known fact that Israel and its lobby groups heavily lobbying the US. Simple as that.

My account was just suspended, I highly recommend anyone who has this viewpoint to simply not express it here. The fediverse and Mastodon and Lemmy are all a sham.

Really disappointed to be honest. I was hoping I could post my opinion and not have the left wing brigade show up to censor me or "educate" me. Fuck censorship and fuck Israel.

UPDATED: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when I try to appeal on mstdn.ca....lol talk about spiteful. Must be a Montreal server. Big Jewish population in Montreal. Makes sense....added their API to my blokada Blocklist.

Hi,

I ran an instance of Mastodon end of last year but took it down a moth later.

Now I'm getting back into Mastodon with a new instance, this time running it from Docker.

The last time I ran my Mastodon instance, I pretty much got an e-mail every day to approve new trending hashtags.

Now in my new instance, I got one email and approved one hashtag (#introduction), but since then I have gotten no emails. Also the trending hashtags list is empty. I checked the postgres database and the tags table is full of records.

Am I missing something here? Or should I wait a couple more days?

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

Coming from the bird site where you could actually get a gauge on what was happening in the world right now, Mastodon's trending hashtags seem so ... banal?

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 suppose it's like Lemmy instances, so, is there a general one, or an equivalent of lemmy.world in terms of size, interaction, and so on?

My mistake if I'm understanding things wrong, thanks!

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?

From my Lemmy experience, posts do get lost here, from time to time. Is it the same on Mastodon?

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.

So how is your experience with that? Have you had to migrate your account because of that?

My primary account was made in 2017 on mastodon.xyz and the instance appears to be down. Does anyone know what is going on with it? Is this a temporary thing or is it gone forever?

This is one from many examples.

I understand that this bot account mirrors the tweets into Mastodon, but how is it normal that it also mirrors the number of followers? Is it a bug?

If you check their followers list, they have a few hundreds at most.

I'm looking for accounts posting random an silly stuff similar to twitter accounts

• fuckedupfoods
• There is no cat in this image
• medieval reactions
• crap taxidermy
• ancient memes
• PunHub

Any kind of light, shitposty, wholesome, meme or pun accounts.

I'm new to mastodon, never had twitter. But I'm open to trying something new after leaving reddit.

Mastodon looks like it has plenty of content but I want to browse it in a specific way and I can't figure out how. I don't really care to follow individual users, but I want to browse hashtags based on my interests.

It would be great if I could create a group of them to have custom feeds I could browse. For example: a hobby feed could consist of #3DPrinting #woodworking #diy #makers #diyprojects etc etc

The lists feature would be perfect if you were able to add hashtags to it. Maybe there is a non-native solution I haven't seen?

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.

First of all, there is no need. There's no central authority in Mastodon who will hide your post because you criticize a notable person.

Second, if you don't want shills to find your post based on the person you criticize, you don't need to worry about it, this is precisely why full-text search is disabled on Mastodon: to protect you from dogpilers.

Third, because distorted names mess up people's filters. I know folks who explicitly add "Elon Musk" or "Trump" to their filters so these posts won't appear in their timelines. By trying to be clever, you accidentally make those people's online experiences worse.

Just use the actual name of the person you're criticizing or insulting and let the filters do their work.

BTW, if you're extra worried about people finding your post, just set your post's privacy mode to followers-only🔒.

Thank you.

Like the number of character limitations, that sort of thing, or because they are posting here, are they then able to post more?
