@Mastodon

hello,
excuse me ; i am glad that you established an alternative platform.
Just one obvious detail in the german version could be translated different: "Ich folge" (e.g.) instead of not fitting "Folgende"
or.. : "Menschen, denen Du folgst" or: Menschen, denen ich folge" .
Thank You for noticing or even / hopefully changing it, soon !

@Mastodon does anyone know if there is an iOS app that takes advantage of the new features? or is the web app the best bet?

Melinda

@Mastodon Hello. Do you mean that the IOS app is updated? I keep checking, and haven’t seen any updates available since an update 4 months ago. Apologies if I’m completely confused. Thanks much!πŸ˜€

@Mastodon This looks interesting--though I won't do it as the instructions for how to do it--plus the various caveats--make it completely intimidating and an invitation to disaster. Maybe someday Mastodon will make it easy for non-Nerds...but that day is not yet at hand.

@Mastodon ο£Ώ store show still version I.4. Opening App shows error. With an animation of mastodon toon bashing a computer.

@Mastodon just did a completely new install using the official install guide. Not sure if it’s just me but I had to change the Ruby version to 3.0.4 in this step RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.0.3 (change to 3.0.4)
rbenv global 3.0.3 (change to 3.0.4). #install

@Mastodon @davetroy we gonna get this one? I'd love to follow hashtags. 😁

@Mastodon
Just a question: Were other instances already updated to 4.0 or a beta because mastodon.online instance has had those features for at least the last week.

Steffen

@Mastodon

running well so far <3

@Mastodon I did not receive the email to change the password and I have tried a lot of times. In fact, having the correct password I cannot access the account through the website

Cullen

@Mastodon Sounds great, and I've already worked out how to follow a hashtag, but where do I see all the tags I'm following? I'm on mastodon.me.uk #newbie

Abdiwadud Ashraf

@Mastodon my account of mastodon is new, please, help me to get more followers. Als I request everybody to follow me. Thanks πŸ™.

Luchojim

@Mastodon cannot see who other people follow.

ChiefPosh :verified:

@Mastodon wait a minute, why did i follow hashtags before that?

BenTrebilcook

@Mastodon here’s to a good weekend, you guys πŸ™Œ

LauraLindleyRoff

@Mastodon I have three questions.
1. I've forgotten my password and when I asked for a new one and a resend, no email came to me.
2. I'm getting notices about a release 4; I think I'm only on release 1 point something. Do the new releases self load or doI have to upload manually and if so how?
3. How do I change the instance I first joined? It's not what I thought it was.
Thank you.

Dippy

@Mastodon are we locked in to the community we picked at the start? I just kinda picked a random one and if I can change, add, remove communities as I wish, it's a very dead feature

des

@Mastodon please welcome to me. I'am imigran from twitter 🀣

Dodo

@Mastodon When will there be more languages?

ElenaF1

@Mastodon When we'll be able to have lists for sorting our various interest subjects?

Brad Brown Jr

@Mastodon translations would be really nice!

Fundamentalfund

@Mastodon I can’t find my community from Twitter is it because of the server? How do I change my server? I couldn’t find it on settings.

Jackie S

@Mastodon
Where can I find some help? Been trying so hard to use this site since it seems like its where a majority of the people I follow on Twitter are flocking, but for the life of me I can’t figure this place out
Tried uploading pics & it fails every single time. On iPad, get a 502 server error, on iPhone, the PUBLISH button is greyed out
Tried switching to @mastodon.social server but it says it says access denied
Why is this all so complicated?

Konstantinos Mih Mih

@Mastodon you should also add full GIF support, just posting the link for another person to click on spoils all the magic and it’ll usually be ignored 😊

Dodo

@Mastodon Can someone send me a link to some video that how to use Mastodon? I don't know how to navigate it at all. How to change the server and such. All in the iOS app.

Constance

@Mastodon why is my account on mastodon.sdf rather than mastodon.social?

Rainbowboystaiwan

@Mastodon nice. We need something new to replace garbage like fb and twitter.

Amol :verified:

@Mastodon It would be good if people can migrate with their posts to another server.

Eleanna Of Tundar

@Mastodon Yeah, I’m having trouble uploading a header image. How do I do that?

Adrian Morales

@Mastodon You have a real opportunity here to make Mastodon the #1 alternative for those looking to join a place that actually respects their privacy and doesn't bombard them with dank memes and intrusive ads. 
But the app itself hasn't been updated since July. You still can't edit your posts. There's no option to see blocked users and domains, either. Unlike the desktop version, it's missing a lot of features. 
Please work on improving the app. I see a lot of potential. 
Thank you.

Bison Curieux

@Mastodon Hello Mastodon team,
I would like to ask you to insert in the application a link to Deepl translation in each pouet as on the Mastodon website. It's really very convenient.
Thank you.

Sir Purr

@Mastodon does Mastodon have plans to move into web3?

FIXIE βœ”οΈ

@Mastodon This is just my 2cents but you guys should add a section to the main webpage that shows that you have a Patreon! Its kind of tucked away, and with so many new users i dont know if people realize that you guys are supported by donations.

Gerben Wierda

@Mastodon How do I follow you when I'm on another server?

humblehobo

@Mastodon I like how we can just look at the version number at the bottom to see which version of Mastodon each server is on πŸ˜€

Kev

@Mastodon what's the status on porting profiles to new servers? Refollowing people is a bit of a pain to do one by one.

For_the_Joy_of_It

@Mastodon Is there a current project working to translate posts from popular non-English languages?

DELETED

πŸ‘‹ Hey there, @Mastodon! Just a nifty suggestion, it'd be great if we get the option to see fewer Reblogs from the people we follow. That would remove a considerable chunk of β€˜unwanted’ content popping up in our feeds. ✌️

Other than that, I'm having an incredibly great experience here on Mastodon. Keep it up! πŸ‘
