Hey there, really really appreciate all the follows and recommendations
But, can you also tell new people about the site at https://fedi.tips too?
The site address is exactly the same as my username with a dot in the middle. You can make it clickable on here by having https:// at the beginning.
I'm very happy to help people directly on here, but it would help A LOT if you can tell people about the site too! Thank you!
@feditips will give it a look see and pass it around.
@feditips I've been using it as a reference and it's been very helpful. Thank you for creating it!
@feditips Bookmarked it! Will share widely.
@feditips I have mentions flagged for notification but not sure where to find quickly, didn't see on your beginner page?
@feditips did boost you
@feditips Thank you for building that site. It definitely helped me get started here.
@feditips This site is really helpful!
@feditips Would you have the possibility to put automatic translation on the site? Perhaps it is not the most pertinent and it would be necessary to make the site in other languages, but for the migration of Spanish-speaking people it would be a great help at least the translate button from google that not many people do as a practice to access content in other languages.
@feditips Hope it's okay to ask this here, but if I cancel a redirect, will I return to my original instance? Will followers come with that?
@feditips this is gold
@feditips will do, and will have to check it out myself
@feditips hey you
@dazbardo You'll find a 'Federated Timeline' option on most Mastodon sites (the icon is often a
@denny Thank you.
@feditips Can I just throw it out here that text descriptions for images is critical (aka ALT text), but the inability for anyone not using a screen reader to read those descriptions is a killer. I put a lot of useful info in descriptions that don't need to be in a pithy toot, but noone can see them - at least they can't using mobile apps or mobile browsers. I just want to be able to tap/click on a button or hotspot to see that content.
@Allyoutoo @feditips Nice! I wonder which app does on iOS? Too bad the ALT text function doesn't work in a mobile browser.
@feditips thank you from an old dinosaur over Herr. At least it feels like that. But an old dog can learn new tricks type of mentality helps me keep trying.thank you for the info.
@feditips Thanks, this is so helpful!
@feditips Thank you for this resource. I'm not terrified to post something. Now I'm only scared.
@feditips this site is SO helpful, and informative, particularly for those of us new to this amazing open source resource. What I’ve been looking for for ages
@feditips this is super helpful!!!!!! Thank you!
@feditips how do you follow people on other servers without logging into all of them separately?
@KatLoveland @feditips you can follow them by either clicking on their profile and clicking follow, or by entering their username in the search bar.
If they are on a different server, like feditips is, the username consists of @ username @ serveradress (without the spaces in-between)
For feditips it would be @ feditips @ mstdn.social for example (again, without the spaces)
@feditips I figured out how to change my profile picture, but darned if I can figure out how to change my banner/header. The big, grey space is soooo void-y.
@feditips
I got on to the wrong server. I’m on sdf and I wanted to be on social. I don’t know if I can change. Could you help me please. I’m an older person and my comprehension isn’t as good as it was but I am missing all my old Twitter friends.
@feditips this is great! Thank you.
Can you add a question and answer? How can you find out what people are saying about what shows on the News feed??
