It seems like to get my followed-notificationsed friends' toots, I have to visit their instance, find the new toot, whose hashtags I'm also following, copy that url, then search for it on my instance.
Was it always like this? Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to accidentally-part-ways with a bunch of people in different time zones to me.
When I toot a toot, see a typo, edit the toot and update it, it'll disappear from my home timeline. Is that just a display issue for myself, or does the toot vanish from home for everyone who follows me?
Question about Mastodon etiquette: I've been thinking of switching servers, and have chosen one I want. However, it's currently set to invite only. I don't personally know anyone in the server that well, but I do have some mutuals there (which is how I found it in the first place).
Would it be rude to just ask them for an invite? Or should I just keep hunting for another server?
#mastoquestion if someone toots a link to a toot, is there a way that the mastodon web interface can interpret this link as being to the instance you are using?
For several reasons I'd like to start preparing my transition away from Signal, not necessarily abandoning it entirely (most of my family is on it, now), but at least starting to move my own usage to a #Matrix or #XMPP #bridge.
I see two main possibilities:
- host my own bridge
- use #ElementMatrixServices
Would anyone recommend any of the two (or another possibility)?
I'd also be interested in any review/feedback on #Element in general.

For archive purposes, I need a small tool (script, Firefox add-on)
for printing one or more toot/s in a nice form ; and/or create a pdf
with the options:
to include the 1...4 images or video preview image
to include image description text/s.
Is there any way in a quick glance to tell if an image someone posted has ALT-text? (Or can I turn on a feature that shows that?)
Mhh, just saw this instance [0] that says they use an #h2o #webserver with quic (quick?) http/3 thingies that's supposed to be awesomely fast. Sounds interesting but I'm no idea what this is about...
Could anyone tell me what's behind and whether/why it's interesting, or point me to some easy-to-grasp summary about it?

Bemerke in meinen #toot s (leider immer zu spät) mehr Tipp- und Grammatikfehler als früher in meinen #tweet s. Gibt's dafür eine technische Lösung (außer, es einfach bleiben zu lassen)? #mastoquestion
Is there anything like #Bookwrym for scientific/academic papers?

Hey #inkscape folks, a #mastoquestion...
I have an SVG that I want to export into a PNG for use as an icon, which means the image must be square. But the aspect ratio of the original SVG is not.
How can I export the SVG to a square image without stretching it, or else how can I get inkscape (or some other tool) to draw the void space around it?
I'd like to avoid using PIL just for this but will if necessary.
Hey Fedi, I'm looking for a fun short comics about ecology that goes something like:
How to protect the planet?
(in roughly 4 distinct steps)
Cycle to work
Eat less meat
Decapitate the capitalists
Sort your waste
I'm fairly sure I saw it here, but I just can't find it again...
Anybody knows where to find it?
Hi there fedizens, I'm asking again for your help in these dark times: with the latest mobile #Firefox (well #Fennec) update to 95.1, I am no longer able to access the menu of addons such as #NoScript or #uBlock
Before, I would just click on the hamburger menu (3 vertical dots), click on addons and this would enable me to acces each addon's menu/settings for the current page. No more.
Any idea how to fix this?
Hey there, I'm looking for a website that compares the size/loading time of pages with and without ublock (or some other tracker blocker).
Does that ring a bell?
Basically it was showing how much space was taken by #ads and #trackers and how much faster the site would be without them.
I know I used it at some point but I stupidly forgot to bookmark it and now I just cannot find it again...
Hi #Fediverse, I have a #FediQuestion (well mostly a #MastoQuestion but I'm interested in answers for other platforms).
When I search for hashtags, does the server query:
1. all servers it knows?
2. all hashtags available in the federated timeline?
3. something else?
I'm sure I found the answer to this a long time ago but I cannot find it again...
Thanks in advance!
Hey #Mastodon, I'm searching for an old post of mine, is it possible to list only the posts I wrote? (as opposed to both original posts and boosts given by the "Toots" tab)
Is there a setting or configuration change in the latest mastodon release(2.6.1) that keeps content posted from a connecting app like the @crossposter from showing up in the local Timeline?
I'm seeing lots of cross posts show up on my profile page but not the local timeline.

#MastoQuestion is there an easy way to download the #followers list? I want to check for obviously duplicate accounts on different instances.
