Hey new people!

Check your post visibility when you're posting. I've just messaged with several new users who thought they'd posted but their posts were hidden accidentally.

Click the link for a complete guide to post visibility on here, including how to set your default post visibility:

Let me know if you have any difficulties.

@feditips Aliases. We need to know about aliases. SOMEONE on here has 4 accounts on different servers. 😆

@feditips I have a question about posts you see in your timeline (including your own). How can you tell, just looking at them, whether they were published as Public, Followers Only, or Only Mentions?
(I should add that I haven’t yet used the browser to access my account, only the official ios Mastodon app.)
Thanks in advance for any/all answers.

@feditips I wasn't sure how I had the post visibility thing set, and had to chase around looking for the setting. As usual, it was another thing that hid in plain sight. (Hint: Preferences (the gear) -> Other -> Posting privacy).

@feditips What's a big UX problem: You can turn a regular reply into a direct message.

I was posting something and got a reply on that post.
Researched for some time and wrote a reply to it.
A few days later I clicked on "Direct messages" and only then realized that my own reply wasn't seen by anyone else because I replied to a post with the post privacy "Mentioned people only".

I though I made a well researched public post. Instead it was wasted time.

Don't know about you but I've spent most of the festive period on my phone.
As in running around #Torn in a Scary Clown Mask mugging people with a Chainsaw and running around #FallenLondon going insane with Nightmares, getting Wounds and gathering Scandal.
Mobile gaming is not dead. Nor is it Raid: Shadow Legends.
