Fedi.TipsYou can create a poll on Mastodon by clicking the 📊 bar chart icon at the bottom when writing a post (on some third party apps polls may be an option in attachments).You can optionally create polls that allow people to select multiple responses, but only if you're using your server's website or web app or a third party app. The official app doesn't let you create such polls yet.Lots more info and questions answered about polls at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-to-post-a-poll-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-to-post-a-poll-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Fedi.TipsHere's how to see trending posts, hashtags and news stories on your server: - On the official app, click the 🔍 magnifying glass at the bottom but leave the search box blank. Select a trend tab at the top. - On the website, click 🧭 Explore at the right of the screen, then select the tab you want. - Third party apps have various interfaces, usually with the word "Trending".Lots more info and questions answered about Mastodon trends here:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/where-are-the-trending-posts-and-hashtags-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/where-are-the-trending-posts-and-hashtags-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

At the same time you can follow hashtags with your interests, that’s how I started off here :) Look at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feditips</a> for more.

They are inaccessible and generally a bad experience.Please use <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> software that is made for long posts if you want to write long posts.Long multi-part threads on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> are okay, but if they're really long, I would advise you to put a post counter in each post, like this:(2/2)<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/NewHere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewHere</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PSA</a>

Fedi.TipsIf you're using Mastodon through your server's website on a computer, you can type emoji directly:1. Type a colon : and without a space start typing a keyword, this opens a popup 2. Select the emoji you want with the arrow keys and press enter 3. If the one you want isn't there, click the 🙂 icon at the bottom of the post-writing box to open the full pickerThe keyword results are partly based on alt-text names of emoji. Hover over an emoji in the picker to see its name.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

Fedi.TipsMastodon has a built-in translation system for posts in other languages. For it to work, three things have to happen: - Your server has to offer the service - Your language settings have to be correct - The person posting has to use the correct language settingsIf all these are ok, you will see a "Translate" link below the post or in the post's ⋯ menu when you encounter a post in a foreign language.Lots more info and questions answered at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>

FeditipsQuit censoring yourself.You don't have to say unalive or whatever other dumb terms to get around filters. You can say kill, murder, suicide, whatever. There's no algorithm here to punish you for using the actual words for things.You can say swear words too. You are allowed to say fuck and shit and whatever else.Don't say slurs though.Edit: you can call yourself whatever you want. Don't call others slurs though.<a href="https://mastodon.social.fraudulent.link/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feditips</a>

davecyklHalfway through the month reminder that, because of how Mastodon works, it is important to include at least 1 relevant topic <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtag</a> (but not too many!) in your posts. This greatly helps to highlight your posts to people who are following <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> for particular topics of interest to them.Otherwise, posts with no hashtags just go past in the fast flowing stream, and are often only seen by people who were actually scrolling through when you send your post…<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HalfwayHashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HalfwayHashtags</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>

Fedi.TipsIf your organisation needs to be on many social networks at once, there are paid social management services which include support for Mastodon such as Buffer at <a href="https://buffer.com/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://buffer.com/mastodon</a> and Publer at <a href="https://publer.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://publer.com</a>However, if you just want to schedule your Mastodon posts you don't need to use commercial services. Mastodon has its own built-in free open scheduling system available through third party apps (more info at <a href="https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon</a>).<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTips</a>
