After doing a couple of private workshops on how to use #Mastodon, I've decided I could just record a series of tutorials and have everyone benefit from it. 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.
@Gargron Could I suggest uploading those to a PeerTube server as well? I know most people we need to "free" of corporate social media are on YouTube but handing out a link to a federated system feels more appropriate IMHO.

@Gargron Also a little bug: Audio is only on the left channel which is weird when using headphones

@Gargron Apologies for being *that* person straight out the gate, don't want to be an audio-snob, but did you know the audio was completely on the left? 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.@FreakyFwoof Don't apologize, and thanks for pointing it out. I'm surprised that neither me nor my wife noticed it on our PCs. It's my Focusrite, the mic is plugged into the first input.

@Gargron Of course, that makes a lot of sense. I do audio for a living (and I'm blind so particularly susceptible to things like that) and therefore I can't unhear it.

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!!!)

@Gargron Seconding the request for a PeerTube link please? Let's highlight all the capabilities of the Fediverse!

Überzeugte Mastodon-User sollten auch überrzeugte Fediverse- "Bewohner" sein!
Warum nicht Peertube!
Vor allem hinein einladen, aber nicht hinaus locken! (How to use Mastodon!)

@Gargron I've heard something about videos on Fediverse. And also watching those interesting videos clips in the others tube channels. And it can be put there for watching.

@Gargron learned:
- videos without sound are treated like images
- cw without cw text just blurs image/video -

@Gargron I learnt that Jiji is a good boy. (And why it is useful to capitalize hashtags)

@Gargron Thanks! 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

@Gargron I live in a batman cave so I was not aware of the Quote. 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
