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:

➡️ fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use…

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

Is your timeline a bit empty? Do you want it to be filled with interesting posts and nice accounts?

Here's a simple non-technical guide to all the different ways you can discover accounts to follow on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:

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 🙂

The amount of disinformation, deep fakes, and other misdirection I hear about from friends and relatives that they get from traditional social media is insane.

They have to tell me about it because I am almost always completely unaware, even though I am “on the Internet” just as much if not more than them.

This is a deep advantage of using Mastodon/the Fediverse right now. And it is not because fake stuff doesn’t exist here.

It is just not automatically sent to me by every owner, bot, and user. And if it is, it is generally swatted down hard.

Mastodon now has a quoting feature, you can find out how to use it in the guide at:

The guide also answers lots of questions about quoting in Mastodon.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined forces with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.
