I love #Mastodon so much. Last night I posted an #introduction on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on #twitter (refuse to call the #birdsite "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous #boost notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

I link to my personal web-site from my Mastodon account.

On my Mastodon account, that link shows up with the "verification" checkmark and highlight.

I did that by adding special HTML code to my personal web-site.

If you want to do the same — add similar code your personal web-site.

Just replace my URL with yours.

Ex:

<link rel="me" href="YOUR_PROFILE_URL_HERE" />

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

So excited that quote posts are rolling out. It's not a 'me too' copy but a well thought out release that protects user privacy. No other platform has taken the time to be this thorough.

This is a subtle feature and hard to discuss because so many assume quoting is ONLY about dunking. It's not! We've learned by talking to community leaders that it's a powerful tool to build community.

#Mastodon will be better, and safer, with this.

BUT BUT TECH AND UI/UX ARE APOLITICAL!!!

just came across a post with racist asshats complaining that Mastodon will finally turn into Blacktwitter with quoted posts and i want to burn all the things down.

fuck those people and fuck everybody catering to their racist, white supremacist asses by refusing to add features to the software lest the UI/UX becomes too Black and Proud to handle.

#tech #racism #fascism #Mastodon #UIUX

Reppin’ the Fedi:

“I don’t use Youtube, I use #Peertube,
(for uploads, #Invidious for viewing),
I won’t use Insta, it’s #Pixelfed,
I f**ked off Facebook for #Friendica,
X/Twitter, whatever, find me on #Mastodon,
I shed it: Reddit for #Piefed, 🔵
TikTok it won’t take long for your groups, 🩴
to flick flock to #Loops.”

Here's a thought, the more I make my blog compatible with the fediverse, at some point I can just use my blog instead of mastodon right? What would the benefit be to have a separate mastodon account? #fediverse #activitypub #mastodon

Do you want to make sure you notice posts by certain accounts?

If you're using Mastodon, go to the account's profile page and click on the 🔔 bell icon. When this is activated, you will be additionally notified every time that account posts anything. Their posts will appear in your timeline as normal, the bell just adds an additional notification in your "Notifications" section too.

More info at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-be-notified-when-someone-posts-on-mastodon

#FediTips #Mastodon

When people arrive from X:

"I had twenty thousand followers."

After a couple of weeks:

"I made a hedgehog sweater out of moss."

Love timeline improvements in the #Mastodon #iOS beta app, getting there!

Wondering if this is a #QuotePost sighting, a real one, in the wild...

Seen a couple of them, last few days

Supposedly no #Mastodon instance is live yet to be able to create Quote Posts -- needs to be an instance > v4.5.*

В общем, эксперимент с #Firefish можно считать законченным. Там #Markdown не дружит с кириллицей. Поэтому, кто подписался взаимно на мои акки на https://infosec.town и https://dvd.chat — можете, в принципе, отписываться, использовать я буду только второй и только для постинга картиночек с бустом сюда.

P.S. кто пропустил пост про https://dvd.chat — повторюсь: там дают 200 гигабайт (!) места; он не пережимает картинки и не режет EXIF; можно выкладывать вообще любые типы файлов помимо картинок. #Misskey #Fediverse #mastodon

I've always wanted to be able to filter my #mastodon feeds by people I'm following or hashtags, instead of one huge noisy feed of both.

I've got enough working now I'd love for others to give it a shot, everything is stored in your browser, no tracking or servers collecting data.

if you have a few minutes I'd love others try it out or reshare

I really love the catch-up feature on @phanpy. When I don't have time to scroll through my timeline on the Fediverse, I can simply see the most shared, liked, and commented-on posts from the networks *I decided to follow*. I know I'll still miss some good posts, but that's how I discover good ones I missed.

We can select the time range we want to catch up on. 1/2

I love how thoughtful the Mastodon blog post about introducing quote posting is. A really interesting way the team could be even more impactful on the open social web would be to share their research findings and the thinking that went into these sorts of features - that's the sort of body of knowledge everyone could learn from. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/introducing-quote-posts/
