@feditips something I don’t understand yet is why the favorite button is not used nearly as much as the reblog button on most posts

Hi fedi.tips. how do you pin a toot such as a longer intro toot on your bio? If it's on your page, just lmk. Don't want you to have to do more work. I haven't figured it out yet. Just point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

@feditips I'm a little flummoxed by lists - how to set them up and what are they for?

@feditips There was one time I tried to follow an account and then there was a message saying "This action is not allowed". The account is not locked; I can see a lot of posts. What was happening there?

@feditips appreciate all the fedi tips.

One thing I just don't get is when I look at someone's profile I can't see their follows/following - it feels like that should show up with a simple call to the other server.

Also told to use # tag search but that only works on your local server, right?

@feditips thanks.
Two issues so far. I'm finding search just doesn't work. Putting in the mast handles doesnt link to people I know on here and also try names yet the response is blank.
What to deals?

Also no translate?

@feditips Thank you so much! Is there a way to set my posts to default to public sharing? I keep forgetting to change it and I’m just talking to myself 😀

@feditips I just had one question: how do you follow a hash tag? Your FAQ has the answer: this is a new feature just being rolled out, available in some servers. That's quite surprising because it's the prime time use case for a tag, you would think. You can't tell your users "Follow Us on Mastodon, hash tag Acme" without this. You'd need to create a separate account that can be followed for each category that has independent updates.

@feditips Thank you for this! I'm a newbie. Do you know why I can log into the desktop version and not the app? It's making me choose a server to login to on the app but I don't see any familiar ones I originally signed up with. If I choose a random one it says my login failed.

@feditips I'll ask here in case someone knows the answer. Is there anyway to prioritize federated messages from specific mastodon servers in the explore tab?
