Hey there
If you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, it is totally fine to ask! I'm an actual human being here, and I'll try to help answer any questions if I can!

@FediTips Thanks for offering your help! I am using Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 and occasionally get a "rate limited, try again after HH:MM" message when trying to post or reply or favorite a post. I will then get about a one minute window to post and then get locked out again. Is mastodon.social too busy, or do I have too many mastodon tabs open?

I've seen that bug too, it occasionally happens on my own server's website as well.
In mastodon.social's case, they are using the experimental branch of the software so there may be new bugs introduced as well.
I had a look on Mastodon's Github for more info but there wasn't an obvious single cause.
It might be best to contact your server's admins for support, for you that is @Mastodon or email them at staff@mastodon.social

@FediTips Thank you, I will check with those admins.

Okay, glad to hear it's back to normal! 🥳
I don't think it's your fault, have seen this too occasionally without an obvious cause.

Hi, question about Pixelfed. I have set up an account on pixelfed.social, but ever since then the login-page (https://pixelfed.social/login) gives an 'Sorry, this page isn't available.' error. Is there a different login-page I should use? Or just an error? -

Can you try it again and confirm it isn't working for you?

@FediTips Hmm, that's weird. I keep getting a 'Sorry, this page isn't available':

Very very odd... I've attached the page I get when I go to that address.
Try going to the same address on a different ISP, for example try using your phone's internet connection instead of your wifi?
