@feditips I have read somewhere that you can have content from other platforms show up in your timeline. But I haven't found a way to link my mastodon and peertube accounts to make that work.

Have I misunderstood the technology, or ist that actually possible somehow?

@feditips

I'd love to know if it's possible to create lists that comprise nut just of accounts but also hashtags? TIA

@feditips is there a #crowdfunding platform inside the #fediverse ?

@feditips Global users search among all instances in mastodon and pixelfed by username or old twi username without login into twi and without going to each instance separately.

@feditips what are these constant network errors about, each time the session needs to fetch parts of a thread?

@feditips What are the advantages of using lists? What do people do with lists?
(happy you invited to ask questions even if they sound silly to oneself)

@feditips
While I'm scrolling down my timeline, I sometimes pop into settings to, for example, update my filters to remove unwanted content. When I hit "Back to Mastodon" or hit the back arrow in my browser I end up right at the top of the timeline again. So annoying

@feditips
Sometimes I might look back at another users timeline, but after a certain history all the images disappear, why is that?

@feditips i often get a 502 or 503 or 4something when i try to add a photo or film to a toot (android phone, wifi, server social). Then it won't load. Why? And what can I do?

@feditips Is there a ‘FediTips’ for server administrators? I’m sure there are dozens of things even experienced admins don’t know!

@feditips

Most people I follow do an excellent job of posting, where 1 post=1 thought they have.

However, there are some people (including some people with lots of followers) who treat this place like a blog, who post looooong articles broken into, say, 20 or 30 posts (i.e. "Long post 1/30). I find that incredibly irritating. Short of temporarily muting them, is there a way to compress those series of posts so I just see the first post? Thanks.

@feditips ya is there an offline backup tool that I can point at my masto and have it periodically download my followers etc in case my server goes tusks up?

@feditips do you know anything about how the Pixelfed account migration is supposed to work ?

@feditips
I am using the advanced web interface and slow mode is not on. The column I use to view the local timeline stopped auto-scrolling yesterday without any preference changes on my part. How do I get it to return to auto scroll? Thanks

@feditips Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question. I am not the sharpest IT knife in the drawer so……here goes. I want to link my Mstdn.ca account with my Wordpress blog and back again. On my profile I have created a link to my Wordpress blog. On Wordpress, at the bottom of my published post, I have a Mastodon button that allows me to export my post onto my Mstdn.ca account. Is there anything else needed to qualify for verification or are further tweaks required? Thanks.

@feditips one question that’s been bugging me is whether it’s possible to search within one’s own toots? The new search function is great but it doesn’t seem to have that functionality. Thank you!

@feditips I find it difficult to set up and adjust the layout of Mastodon on web (Chrome). Is there an instruction page for that somewhere?

@feditips
I don't think you can help with this, but in Poland Mastodon is not that popular, so no posts from friends or most people I want to follow. Maybe you got list of some big / interesting accounts here?

@feditips
How can I convince more X users to have an alternative social media account in the x bio as backup?
Dming them and mentioning them does not get me any feedback

@feditips
If someone I follow posts multiple consecutive posts I have to scroll over if I’m not interested in the subject, is there a quick way of avoiding this?
