Some tips for new members:

-Third party Mastodon apps are better than official apps. On Android try Tusky or Fedilab. On iPhone/iPad try Toot!

-If you're looking for people to follow see here: fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-

-This place isn't normally slow! There's a massive influx of new people today, the servers may be slow/buggy while they get upgraded.

-Servers are all independent and run by volunteers out of their own pocket, there are no ads or investors or trackers. Support your server!

@feditips the site works perfectly as is on mobile. I found it much more convenient than any of the apps

@feditips i love Metatext. It’s by far the most accessible…………. And most like the bird app.

@feditips Tried the official app, Tusky, Toot. Finally settled on Megalodon. It is a fork of the official app. Worth a try.

@feditips that first point needs to get addressed. That’s embarrassing.

@feditips if the website is telling me my password doesn’t work and is not letting me use my confirmed email address to change it, is that just a function of how overextended everything is right now and I should wait it out? or am I screwed? (I have access to my account via the official app, which is indeed painful to use, but I can’t sign in anywhere else.)

@feditips I prefer to access Mastodon (and others) via website on a laptop. Any special tips for browsers?

@feditips #mammoth on iOS is my favorite. A lot like TweetDeck.

@feditips does this mean that advertisers never will come here?

@feditips Thanks for the info. I used to use Andstatus on Android. Reinstalled it and it happily handles both the bird network and Mastodon. Kind of nice having one app to deal with the firehose, yes?

@feditips Thank you for running this instance! I was wondering; is there a way to embed selected Flickr photos here, rather than burden your server with uploads? (And is there a way to include alt text if so?) Let me know and thank you again.
