150+ nifty tips and tricks for macOS, for system features like the Dock, Spotlight and Mission Control, and built-in apps like Safari, Mail, and Photos.
Last updated for macOS Sonoma.
Je découvre qu'un logiciel tiers permet de faire des groupes sur Mastodon : https://a.gup.pe/
Le gros avantage des groupes est que vous voyez automatiquement tous les messages du groupe, même s'ils proviennent de comptes qui ne se sont pas encore fédérés à votre serveur.
Voir https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/ pour plus d'info sur la fonctionnalité (apparemment une fonctionnalité similaire est en développement dans mastodon)
J'ai créé le groupe du village @latourdaigues.
Lists with free or affordable alternatives to big commercial applications and services…

I'm thinking to migrate my information from #Onedrive into another service (cloud based).. Maybe one that has #LocalFirst as a principle.
Any tip? Please. I ain't techno say and have little knowledge/ capacity for programing and not so much time to learn
@DevonEllington
The way to migrate is built into the Mastodon web app.
Go to Preferences, click on Import & Export, click Export, click Request an archive.
It will take some time, but you'll get a download link. Download to your computer. BTW, this is how you backup your Masto-life. You should do it often.
The page also includes lists of follows, mutes, block, etc. These are CSVs and they are human readable in Excel or Numbers.
Create an account on another instance ASAP.
Return to Preferences on the new instance. Click on Import & Export. Click on Import. Click Upload and specify your downloaded archive.
You can also import "Data." I think (but don't know) that this will restore lists of things like who you follow. Seems dicey to me since following is regulated... Worth a try, maybe it requests that you follow. Try it.
DO THIS NOW. Then toot to your timeline that you have a new account. Those who are interested can follow it.
I may have missed a detail, so the sooner you try this or Google it further, the better off you will be.
HTH

Strooi het plaatje vrijelijk rond als je wil - copy en paste, of een link naar deze post - bij een ieder waarvan je denkt dat die wat hulp kan gebruiken.
Yesterday I achieved a successful instance migration by following the #feditip at
https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/
One little thing isn't mentioned on that page: filters. If you want to keep your filters then you have to note them down on the source instance and then manually add them to the new instance. Do this BEFORE you create an account alias on the old instance, because creating the alias stops you from accessing most of your settings.
Il existe peut-être quelques comptes dont vous ne voulez pas manquer les pouets avant qu'ils ne disparaissent en glissant dans un fil de mastodon.
Le meilleur moyen c'est de cliquer sur l'icône de petite cloche 
qui se trouve sur leur profil. Ainsi vous verrez automatiquement leurs messages dans votre colonne de notifications perso dès que ces personnes publieront un nouveau pouet. (bien sûr cliquer une nouvelle fois sur la petite cloche annule cette sorte d'abonnement privilégié).
#PSA #Writers need to #backup, even their Masto-life†. This is called an #archive. They also need to be able to read the backup archive file WITHOUT migrating to another instance.
Thanks to @s427 (https://eldritch.cafe/@s427@lou.lt/113567190291924023), I can recommend an easy computer-agnostic web app to accomplish this: MARL (Mastodon Archive Reader Lite).
It couldn't be easier to use. On the project page (see below) under the heading Usage, you can click the link next to Accees MARL online here: When it runs, you can drag a zip of an archive you've requested from your instance. You don't need to be tech-savvy. It ought work on your phone with the file picker if it allows you to download archives, but it doesn't on my iPhone 16. It works on my Mac, however.
Here's the project page: https://github.com/s427/MARL
Instead, I downloaded the project. On my Mac, I made an alias of the index.html file found in the downloaded unzipped folder. In Get Info, I double-clicked the icon and used Edit>Paste to paste in a pretty icon I made in Preview. Last, I dragged the alias to the righthand side of the dock where it resides now.
Probably easier just to bookmark the link on the project page, but here it is. And here it is running with my archive. (See attached photos.)
BTW: I found I needed to drag and drop the archive file rather than use the file picker for this to work on the Mac. Also, since Safari can be a helpful Hanna when downloading your archive by unzipping it, you may need to zip (i.e., compress) the resulting folder back into a zip to use MARL on it.

† To backup to an archive, click ⛭ Preferences, click Import and Export, click Export, and then click Request an Archive. Download it when the download link appears. Note, the text of the labels in the web app may vary between instances.
Avec le client Pixelfed @impressia sur iOS, on peut se connecter avec ses identifiants masto, et on obtient une belle mosaïque de toutes les images de son fil masto (et on peut interagir comme sur masto). Très cool (merci pour le #feditip, @meljoann) .

Antes de responder a alguien que pregunta algo pinchad en el enlace de abajo de todo que pone "ver más respuestas en [servidor origen]" para ver si ya le han resuelto la duda.
Llevo ya dos conversaciones donde iba a comentar y ya estaban respondidas.
Wenn du benachrichtigt werden willst, wann immer es einen neuen Post von uns gibt: Aktiviere die Glocke.
(Unser Profil aufrufen, auf das Symbol Glocke klicken, fertig.)
you can also preemptively mute your own threads
(for example, if you feel like you like you want to make a post, but you know it will result in static you just don't want to deal with)
rather than going to notifications though, you just make your post, then immediately mute your own post:

a constant annoyance on #mastodon (or any #socialmedia, this is not unique to the #fediverse) is being tagged in a long running thread you no longer want to be a part of
many times i see people asking to remove their tag from further mentions
(threads i am a part of and not a part of, this isn't about people not wanting to deal with me, i hope 
)
it's fine to ask
but there is an easier solution:
just remove yourself
click the '...' on any post in your notifications and:

@pkreissel made an algorithm for mastodon to free us from the tyranny of reverse chronological order and it's totally awesome.
IMHO a customizable algorithm is the only thing mastodon needs to really take things to the next level.

Hi new #Twitter people. I haven't seen this tip come up in a while so I'm gonna share it here. Long links don't count to your character limit. This means you don't need link shorteners. In fact, many here, including me, won't click on shortened links with link shorteners because I wanna know where the link goes. Plus, you don't need to know I clicked it. You really don't. If I like your link enough, I will tell you. That's better than a number! #FediTips #FediTip
PSA for aspiring new instance members
We *want* to accept you, but ya gotta write a few lines about yourself so we can make an informed decision.
Especially in the current climate, we need to keep our instance a safe place for our members.
"Your instance looked neat", "am gay", "hi", and the like aren't enough of an Introduction.
Give us a few minutes of thought and we'll give you an amazing community and a warm welcome.
I love seeing Fedi get bigger 
it means more people for me to #Welcome and make friends with.
But I feel like I'm seeing a lot less alt-text, and fewer content warnings on things that should have them 
Let's all build a culture of inclusion and accessibility as we grow together. It only takes a moment to make a difference.
Plus, if you like seeing "number go up", I know a lot of people, like me, who only boost posts with appropriate alt-text and CWs (same goes for follows)
