@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
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

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.
@FediTips
it works. But why there is no option to "open URL in mastodon", like..it should be done directly: Peertube share -> open on mastodon. Also I cannot dislike video from mastodon? -

Also I cannot dislike video from mastodon?There are thousands of Mastodon servers and people may have accounts on multiple different servers, so PeerTube doesn't know exactly where on Mastodon you want to open it. Such an option would require you to type the name of your Mastodon server, so it would still be a bit fiddly. But this is how Mastodon share add-ons work on websites, so this feature could be added, good suggestion!
You can't dislike from Mastodon because Mastodon has no interface for sending negative votes.

How are you posting GIFs? Are you uploading GIF files or copy-pasting addresses from GIF services?
@FediTips I’ve tried it both ways. Let me copy one first and see what it does. https://media.tenor.com/ZG_GeJrT6_gAAAAM/ioneemno-word.gif

@FediTips vs uploading

@FediTips vs uploading
Yeah, neither of those work
Can you try doing the same methods via your server's website too? (For you that would be https://techhub.social)
It might be a bug in the official app.

@FediTips i'm still pretty new to this stuff. I have a question about stickers and emojis. Why do my stickers not appear on my keyboard when I'm on the mastodon app for iPhone? And how do people make their own emojis? I'm guessing it's because they have their own servers but I was hoping there's another way

There is no compatibility with stickers on Mastodon so the keyboard doesn't show them. I've just had a look at the Mastodon github for more info, it seems that because Mastodon isn't a messaging app the stickers aren't a priority. A workaround for this would be to manually upload images that correspond to the stickers.
Custom emoji are made by the admin on your server. If you would like more custom emoji added, ask your server admin about it (for you that's @seano ).

Hiiiiii
Oof, thanks for reminding me about translation. That worked when masto.nyc was running out of my apartment but we haven't prioritized getting it up and running since we moved to the cloud
As for emojis- honestly tons of people have requested emojis and we haven't said no to any of them yet
so just let us know what you want added and it's as easy as that! -
Yeah, translation is an optional feature activated by the admin (it's optional because it costs more for the admin to host such a service).
