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 you can upload to peertube too

If you learned something you didn't know from the video, please comment!
@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

@Gargron Are you also interested in a few pointers on the tutorial itself?

@Gargron I didn't know that not writing a CW text simply just sets the media as spoiler / sensitive.
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.
