@shadowfals @Gillinger You need to log into your server's website to do this. Don't use the app.Once you've done this in the website, you can go back to using the app.For your server the website is at https://mas.to

@ramu Each server on the Fediverse is totally independent, so each server decides and implements its own defederation policy.

@colo_lee Yes, it was added in 4.6.0 I think!

@timtfj i see understood i still wish there was a better wwy to solve that issues but i take what i can get.

@micdan5boringtoots Oh no... Well, I don't want to generate notifications for people who boosted it without good reason so I'll leave off editing it.Thank you for pointing it out though!

p.s. You can find other guides to using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse at https://fedi.tips/what-do-i-do-next-are-there-any-other-guides-to-mastodon-and-the-fediverseIf you find text guides difficult, scroll down the page a bit and you'll also see links to helpful videos about using Masto and the Fedi.

@timtfj Fair enough, it sounds really frustrating!And yeah a web app would store data separately from the main browser, which is how it stays logged in even if you reset the browser.

@PVTejas Main thing I was trying to get across with the "techy" comment is that there is nothing in Mastodon's own software that allows admins to view DMs, there is no admin tool for doing that (I was saying this because some people thought there was). You have to step outside Mastodon and look at the raw database directly, which requires tech skills and database access.And yes that does mean the hosting company would have access, so it's always best to avoid sensitive data.

@deirdrebeth @BlueDot Yeah, I think by active they mean posting rather than boosting. I agree that's not clear, I guess if they did it the other way round some people might complain that it doesn't ignore boosts? Also, some people may not boost or post but are still reading posts and following accounts.By the way, just out of interest and please feel free to ignore this question if it's too personal, is there some particular reason for pruning follower lists to remove inactive accounts?

@nicholasbuzzred Do you mean like the current transfer process but simplified? ( https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/ )I think the developers do want to make it easier, but they also have a lot of other things to do too, and very little money. So, I don't know where it is in the priority list.

@muzicofiel They did close the website, in effect. They stopped its domain name working, which they can do because all domain names run through infrastructure in the US (which obviously needs to change).https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/117200308433923512

@darth_hideout Oh nice! Never noticed that before, thanks!
