Fedi.Tips<p>If you accidentally share sensitive info in a post, delete it as soon as possible.</p><p>Do NOT edit it, because editing leaves the sensitive info visible in the previous versions of the edited post. (The reason previous versions are visible on edited posts is to prevent "bait and switch" abuse tactics from editing.)</p><p>If you want to keep most of the post intact when you delete it, select the "Delete &amp; Re-Draft" option. This deletes the post but puts a copy of it into the post creation box.</p><p><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTIps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTIps</span></a></p>
Paul<p>Any idea why I can’t see all the replies to a post? The little reply icon shows 4, but only 2 replies show up. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feditips</span></a></p>
Fedi.Tips<p>Every server has a "Local" timeline which shows all the public posts made by members of that server. You can browse the Local timelines of most servers by going to their websites and clicking "🌎 Live Feeds". You don't need to be a member of that server or logged in.</p><p>You can also follow Local timelines of other servers on certain third party apps including Fedilab and Subway Tooter on Android, Ice Cubes on iPhone/iPad.</p><p>More info about this at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-browse-the-local-timelines-of-other-servers-on-mastodon-can-i-follow-other-servers-local-timelines-from-my-account" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/how-do-i-browse-the-</span><span class="invisible">local-timelines-of-other-servers-on-mastodon-can-i-follow-other-servers-local-timelines-from-my-account</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a></p>

Maikel 🇪🇺 🇪🇸<p>I think the fedi is the platform that you use with "public" as audience of your toots until you find your crowd and start scaling back to settle happily on "followers only". </p><p>...With just some toots being knowingly published as public. </p><p>I've also noticed one thing, those who do "followers only" for most of their toots are never people using the fediverse to advertise themselves. </p><p>🤔 </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feditips</span></a>?</p>

Arbutus 🇨🇦<p>Just a reminder: like many creepy corporate services, open Mastodon shares who you follow with the whole Internet. If that is against your threat model or your values (or you are an Old Web Person and never imagined that a service would do such a thing) you can turn that off under Preferences &gt; Public Profile &gt; Privacy and reach <a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/fediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediTips</span></a> <a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>

Fedi.Tips<p>Just to put into context the "copy &amp; paste" trick on the Fediverse:</p><p>- If your server has already noticed an account or post, you can search for it and interact with it totally normally without any copy-pasting.</p><p>- If your server *hasn't* noticed an account or post but you know it exists, you can make your server notice it by copy-pasting the account or post address into your server's search box.</p><p>Copy-pasting is just meant as a last resort for stuff your server hasn't noticed yet.</p><p><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a></p>

Paralhax 👾<p>About groups in Fedi:</p><p>How about we tag the group we are writing in only in the first post, and remove the tag in the replies?</p><p>Context:<br>Like many others here, I have a problem with an excess of random information. I do my best to sort and filter it, but it's not always technically possible. When a group is tagged in every post and every reply, we see replies without context boosted by the group in our feed. To understand the context, we have to click on the reply to see the entire thread. But often we end up in a thread we've already seen because we entered it through the first post or one of dozens of other replies. Or we simply weren't interested in the question in the first post, so why should we scroll through the replies? <br>If groups were only marked in the first post, we would see much less information on the feed, but we could still read all the replies by entering the thread. I know that there are people who like the current form and want to be notified of every reply in every thread, but there is another function for that - the bell icon (Notify me when group posts). Besides, if you consider a reply to be important and it makes sense even without the context of the thread, you can still tag a group in it, or if it's someone else's reply, you can boost it. </p><p>What do you think about this, fediversians?</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediIdea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediIdea</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GuppeGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GuppeGroups</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediGroups</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyadhd</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/adhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>adhd</span></a></span></p>
