Mastodon

I curate/mod !tycoon@lemmy.world. It's dedicated to "tycoon simulation" and management games. Things like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Transport Fever and Project Highrise.

When searching for relevant accounts, I often come across users on Twitter/X with a birdsite mastodon bridge such as @firefox@birdsite.monster, which seems to be the most followed Firefox account on mastodon.

SOLUTION IN COMMENTS (by @just_another_person@lemmy.world)

So, just to say immediately: I guess if I went deep into the frontend code, this will of course be possible, but I am in this case just talking about an easy way from the admin settings as such.

title says it all. i can register lemmy and matrix account on certain instances without email address, but im yet to find one for mastodon.

Is there a way to up the char count on a self-hosted (redundant I know) Mastodon that I control?

So, if you want to follow a Lemmy community from your Mastodon account you can simply do so as you would follow any other account. It will treat both posts and comments on that community as boosts. This quickly clogs up the feed and is very confusing to navigate.

Has anyone ever considered the potential creation of a Labeler similar to Andrew Lisowski's Bluesky Politician Labeler, but for the Mastodon platform?

A little procedure I follow to help noobs get seen by others. I used to do what most people do and boost their # introduction posts, but I think most people want to see more natural engagement and sort of glaze their eyes over when they see the intro tag, so here's what I do:

I am mentally preparing to be called an idiot and/or causing a shitstorm, but I really want to get the answer.

Apparently openvibe isn't open source, you might say sorasns but my iPhone 8 doesn't get iOS 18, I can't be bothered to Download an app for both Mastodon & Bluesky each

Several times per day, i get a message with “Load missing posts” besides the usual “New posts”. If I click the message the app seems to get confused and I’m not anymore on the last missing post. Is this some sort of bug?

I had no prior knowledge of what these #mastodon app numbers were but found myself pretty surprised at

In the Mastodon app, there is a News tab, why is that ? Is it a way do monetize the service or just a help to check up on the hot news going on on Mastodon ?

I never used Twitter. Reddit was the only social media I engaged/posted on for years, moved to Lemmy a couple months ago. I made an account on Mastodon, downloaded moshidon, followed a bunch of hashtags, now I don't know what to do. Do I just start posting "Facebook status" type posts? Is Mastodon basically like individual Lemmy comment threads with hashtags being the main post?

I'm thinking about joining mastodon, but I don't know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I'll open an account on mastodon.social.
