In case you missed it, you can edit your posts on Mastodon. Just go to the post you want, click ⋯ and then "Edit".

This should work on the web and all the apps. (Some third party apps may have a slightly different interface.)

Whenever you edit a post, it sends a notification to everyone who has interacted with it, and a link (usually labelled "edited") will appear below the post showing all previous versions. This is to prevent "bait & switch" shenanigans.

@feditips I tried to edit a post on pixelfed.social yesterday on the web and couldn’t figure out how to do it. 🙁

@feditips I've used it a couple of times on Web. Didn't know it sent a message, that's very cool.

Thanks for the tip!

@feditips If you're a good faith actor you'll only use this feature like me, where I am kept awake by a missing comma.
