<p>One of the most overlooked but useful features on Mastodon is "Notes". These let you add private info to profiles which only you can see:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/what-are-notes-on-mastodon-what-does-click-to-add-note-mean-on-mastodon-profiles" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/what-are-notes-on-mastodon-what-does-click-to-add-note-mean-on-mastodon-profiles"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/what-are-notes-on-ma</span><span class="invisible">stodon-what-does-click-to-add-note-mean-on-mastodon-profiles</span></a></p><p>A lot of people use notes for keeping track of why they blocked or muted someone, but there are also lots of other purposes.</p><p>Notes can be created on the web interface and some third party apps. Just click on the "Add note" section of a profile and type what you want.</p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/notes/" rel="tag">#Notes</a></p>

<p>If you want to, you can set your Mastodon account into follow request mode, so that any follows you get from other people have to be manually approved by you.

<p>If you block a server using the "domain block" feature on Mastodon, this will cause you to lose any follows or followers you have on that server. The exact number of follows/followers you would lose are shown at the top of the warning when you do the block.</p><p>However, if you have done the block accidentally or if you have changed your mind about the block, here is a guide to how you can unblock the server and restore your follows and followers:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/help-ive-accidentally-blocked-a-server-on-mastodon-what-do-i-do-now" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/help-ive-accidentally-blocked-a-server-on-mastodon-what-do-i-do-now"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/help-ive-accidentall</span><span class="invisible">y-blocked-a-server-on-mastodon-what-do-i-do-now</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>

Click ⚙️ in top right corner of the Notifications section<br>4. In "Unsolicited private mentions" click the dropdown menu and select "Ignore"<br>5.

<p>If you have a public Mastodon account and want to reach the widest possible audience, you should opt into the full text search system:</p><p>1. Log into your server’s website<br>2. Go to your profile<br>3. Click "Edit Profile"<br>4. Click on "Privacy & Reach" tab at the top<br>5. Scroll down to section marked "Search"<br>6.

<p>Mastodon has a built-in translation system for posts in other languages. For it to work, three things have to happen:</p><p> - Your server has to offer the service<br> - Your language settings have to be correct<br> - The person posting has to use the correct language settings</p><p>If all these are ok, you will see a "Translate" link below the post or in the post's ⋯ menu when you encounter a post in a foreign language.</p><p>Lots more info and questions answered at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-language-translation-system-on-mastodon"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-</span><span class="invisible">language-translation-system-on-mastodon</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>
<p>If you're using Mastodon through your server's website on a computer, you can type emoji directly:</p><p>1. Type a colon : and without a space start typing a keyword, this opens a popup<br>2. Select the emoji you want with the arrow keys and press enter<br>3. If the one you want isn't there, click the 🙂 icon at the bottom of the post-writing box to open the full picker</p><p>The keyword results are partly based on alt-text names of emoji.

<p>It's really important to add text descriptions when you're posting images, video or audio files. However, it's not always easy to remember to do it, so there is a special account which reminds you if you forget:</p><p>➡️ <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@PleaseCaptionBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>PleaseCaptionBot</span></a></span> </p><p>Just follow the account, and it will follow you back and DM you if you post something without a description.</p><p>To stop getting reminders, unfollow the account, then block and unblock it so that it unfollows you.</p><p>More info at: <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-remember-to-add-text-descriptions-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/how-do-i-remember-to-add-text-descriptions-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/how-do-i-remember-to</span><span class="invisible">-add-text-descriptions-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a></p>
