@chrisoliver @CWSmith Ghost have already added it, more info at https://fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse and https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-fediverse-on-your-ghost-powered-site/

@irene The full text search option only affects Mastodon searches.However, if you post something with a public visibility setting, that means it is visible to anyone who browses your profile. There's nothing technically stopping outsiders from scraping public posts into search engines or wherever.If you want to keep a post safe from search engines etc, the best option is to use followers-only or mentions-only for its visibility.

@Guillotine_Jones Sorry to hear As far as I know, if you've wiped them they're gone, and cannot be recovered. However, more notifications will show up from now on.

@joshua First thing to do is check their profile to see if they have any preferences about being contacted (or not contacted).If they have a link to a personal website in the profile, it's worth clicking on that and seeing if it has a contact page.If there's nothing about this in their profiles and they don't have a contact page, you can try sending a private message by using the mention-only post.

@evgandr @FediTips and moderators don't remove them.

@kyonshi Not really, it's just an option at Preferences > Other > Group Boosts which you can switch off or on. You still see the same boosts either way, it just determines how often you see them Technically anything running on a computer is an algorithm, but most people don't use that meaning?

@Katherinesalom Welcome Katherine!You can find lots of guides for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips and there's a section at the top of the front page marked "Quick Start" which has the most relevant guides for newbies.Feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific, I'm trying to provide an unofficial support service on here

@gumnos It's a discussion group similar to email discussion groups that used to exist in the 1990s/2000s. Members send posts to the group, the group relays it to the rest of the group's followers.If you're following/posting then it is available on every server.If you're creating/managing then it does indeed require signing up on a specific server.

@blindcoder There's currently no direct way to do this, or for the poster to hide their self-replies.Usually the best solution is for the person posting essays to use a server or platform that has extremely long character limits, which automatically hides most of the post in Mastodon.If you are following Cory Doctorow, he has a workaround by using a specific phrase in each post of his self-replies. You can use Mastodon's Filters to detect this phrase (more info https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/).

@Chancerubbage If you follow an account that boosts too often, you can hide just its boosts:1. Go to the account's profile page2. Click ⋯3. Click "Hide Boosts"

@Guillotine_Jones Aww, thanks for taking the time to say this! It is really rewarding if someone finds a guide useful!
