Mastodon has a lot of features, and sometimes even long time users aren't aware of all of them! The first episode is about making posts on Mastodon--going over every aspect.

I assumed the post simply doesn't get a CW at all (the same you don't get any when you don't have any media present), since the CW placeholder text says "Optional".

It does feel like a hidden feature, and I wonder if we can get a setting in the alt text / image edit modal, to be able to mark each media piece as sensitive instead.

Pic unrelated.

Thanks 😺

Maybe interesting to mention footer hashtags in next editions. I've discovered these recently and I enjoyed so much. That is exactly something not self-documented and easy

I must ask 😺 can the video has "Creative Commons Attribution" license?
It's the only Libre license available in YouTube. The default is "YT standard license" which impede legal download.
Thanks! so we can easily import the video in PeerTube 🤩

Edited: I mean, is a video option

- videos without sound are treated like images
- cw without cw text just blurs image/video

And also watching those interesting videos clips in the others tube channels. And it can be put there for watching.

Überzeugte Mastodon-User sollten auch überrzeugte Fediverse- "Bewohner" sein!

Warum nicht Peertube!

Vor allem hinein einladen, aber nicht hinaus locken! (How to use Mastodon!)

That's a wonderful cat. How could I not watch it???

(Oops. I've got to go off to get my shingles looked at. I'll try to watch it through the pain later today. As a medium term user, I don't know squat about the details of Mastodoning, so thanks!!!)

I do audio for a living (and I'm blind so particularly susceptible to things like that) and therefore I can't unhear it. 😊

I can fix it in-post on my end, and I have to or I get ear-strain but if you could rectify that for the next tutorial it would be wonderful.
Thanks.
