If you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse, please feel free to reply, or mention me, or send a message! 🙂

I'm trying to provide unofficial direct tech support for using this place.

There is no such thing as a silly question, especially keen to help new or non-technical people who want answers in plain language.

If you prefer not to ask, you can find lots of help on the website at fedi.tips

You do not have to use Mastodon through its official mobile app!

There are many other ways of using your Mastodon account, and most people who try the alternatives tend to prefer them.

The most popular alternatives are third party apps and your server's own website. These tend to have more features and faster updates. You can find out more at:

However you access Mastodon, it's still your same account and same server 🙂

There's no algorithm on here so discovering people and posts may take a bit more effort, but it also tends to produce higher quality more humane results.

If I've missed a method let me know 🙂
