@FediTips To thou who has offered to help the unwashed masses, I make this plea:
I'm using Mastodon on my phone, via the webpage of my host server, not an app. Whenever I rotate to landscape (usually on accident), it moves me from my home feed to "Getting Started", but it doesn't move me back when I return, meaning I lose my place.
Is there a setting to turn off that behavior? Is it secretly helpful in some way I'm missing?
Are you using the advanced web interface? You can check by going to
️ Preferences and seeing if the "Enable advanced web interface" option is ticked.Generally it's better not to use the advanced web interface on phones as it's mainly designed for large wide screens.

@FediTips yep, so if someone wants some help, they can come in and ask you a question.
I have one but probably you won't be able to answer, any blind gamers on here? -

@podcast is a long-running podcast and account about blind gaming.
@Ericbomb is an indie game developer who makes blind accessible games.
@WeirdWriter is a blind writer and video/audio maker who sometimes covers gaming.

Yeah, he mainly covers other topics. He does occasionally do things about games like this let's play video of Last of Us part 2 https://spectra.video/videos/watch/67c55bd6-7f9b-4065-a283-c29142b57614

@FediTips Any tips on posting gifs? I can’t seem to figure out how to efficiently do this on the official mastodon app, sometimes they are animated and sometimes they are still images and I can’t really figure out why

@FediTips Awesome. Thanks for your service and time! I am pretty new on Mastodon and still trying to get the hang of a few things. I'm currently thinking of moving to a new server but I read this is not a straight process if I want to transfer my posts/followers/following, etc. Could you direct me to a comprehensive source on transfering my account to the account on the new server? Is it possible? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

@FediTips How to comment Peertube's videos with mastodon account?
Copy-paste the video's web address from the browser into your search box on Mastodon. This will make the video appear in your Mastodon timeline and you can comment by replying.
You can also subscribe by following the account and like the video by favouriting it. If you follow, the videos will start appearing in your Mastodon timeline and you won't need to copy-paste to comment on them.

There isn't currently a direct equivalent to Facebook Groups in Mastodon, but if you're wanting general tips on moving to Mastodon I'd recommend the "Quick Start" section at the top of the page on the website https://fedi.tips

How are you posting GIFs? Are you uploading GIF files or copy-pasting addresses from GIF services?

There's a full guide to moving your account to another server here:

It's pretty long because it combines several processes into one list, and answers lots of questions
