Bonjour !

Pour rappel : vous n'avez pas besoin d'avoir de compte sur Piaille pour discuter avec les personnes inscrites sur Piaille ; et si vous êtes inscrit·e sur Piaille, vous pouvez échanger avec des personnes sur une autre instance !

Le #Fediverse est un réseau d'instances autonomes, mais connectées entre elles, pour que leurs membres puissent échanger. Nul besoin de créer un compte sur chaque instance !

C'est comme les e-mails : si vous avez une adresse chez La Poste, vous pouvez tout à fait envoyer un mail à une adresse Orange, Protonmail, ou une adresse mail professionnelle !

Web apps are one of the best-kept secrets of the internet. If you haven't tried them before, they are worth giving a go.

There are web apps for almost all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon. You can find out more at:

https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse

Web apps are a mixture of website and app store app, combining many of the best features of both. The restrictions imposed by Apple and Google's app stores do not apply to web apps, so web apps tend to get more features more quickly.

Generally most people only need one account on the Fediverse, because the servers talk to each other as if they were on a single network.

However, in some situations and for some purposes you may prefer to use multiple accounts. If you're one of these people, there's a guide to using multiple accounts here:

https://fedi.tips/using-multiple-accounts-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse

Also see the article on why most people don't need multiple accounts:

FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, is now deployed on Github Pages and can be used from your web browser.

If you want to, you can optionally set some or all of your Mastodon posts to self-delete after a certain amount of time. There's a complete guide to how to do this here:

https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period

The guide also answers lots of questions about auto-deletion including its effects and how to adjust its settings.

Bear in mind that deleted posts cannot be restored, they are actually deleted! Be really sure you want to use this feature before you activate it.

Am looking for a new host to move to, not because this one has a lot of down time but because Mastodon . Social refuse to up the 500 character limit and it's getting to be too much of a limitation & too annoying for me, suggestions on hosts welcome (not Aus . Social or Mastodon . Au, I've tried those).

Prerequisites needed:
- Minimum 1000+ character posts
- Minimum 99% uptime

Savez vous si il existe une application #android dans le #Fediverse pour #mastodon qui permet de voir le compte d'une personne même quand un filtre s'applique sur son pouet ?

Parce que ça m'arrive pas mal de fois de vouloir voir ce qu'en pense certains de mes abonnements ou exclure ce qui me vient par #hastag

Je peux le faire sur le web avec mon instance mais par exemple. Et aussi pouvoir replier le masque ... @FediTips

On Mastodon, if you've clicked a "Follow" button and it turns into "Pending" or "Cancel Follow" or "Request Sent", it means the follow hasn't actually happened yet.

Usually it's because the account has follow requests switched on, so you just wait for them to approve your request.

However, sometimes it's due to other reasons, and you may have to do something special to get the follow to work. Lots of info and full instructions at:

Have you seen a rainbow pentagon thing and wondered what it means?

It's the logo of the Fediverse, the overall network which contains Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, OwnCast and other platforms that communicate using a common standard.

There are high quality versions here:

Technically there can be no official logo on a decentralised network, but this is the most commonly-used logo.

Just updated the custom emoji guide so that it also explains how to add custom emoji to your profile name:

https://fedi.tips/what-are-custom-emoji-how-do-i-access-them-can-i-add-new-ones

If you're unsure what custom emoji are, the guide explains all about them and how to use them.

TL:DR - Custom emoji are special emoji added by your server admin that you can use in your posts. People on other servers can see your custom emoji, so you can add cool images in posts that they can't (unless their admin added the same ones)
