@feditips They're all going to sod off again when Musk relents and makes Twitter even a little bit usable again, so I wouldn't get excited.

@feditips Do you you any tips geared towards folk've never done microblogging? Cause I just escaped a certain link aggregator site for Lemmy, which made me want to try Mastodon.

@feditips One problem I have is scrolling with a browser (Firefox). The space bar works OK but sometimes skips part of a toot. The up and down arrows, which should move the feed in smaller increments, are not reliable and often jump you way up in the feed you've already seen so you have to find your place again. If you have or can make a solution for this I'd appreciate it.

@feditips hello, I have read on some infos about Mastodon and the articles says this platform has CW and NSFW buttons for blinding such contents. But I have tried posting a picture and it doesn't appear? I'm using iOS.

@feditips made an @ and subscribed to mastodon.nl. Installed twidere. 90 following there.

Wanting to move to mastodon app. Trying to log in with existing @. It didn't "know me". Made same @. Entered here and empty account (no bio, no 90).

What am I missing? Both are working but I can't find how to handle that multiple - server stuff.
Any links to user guide? Tips very welcome ๐Ÿค—
