p.s. Mastodon lets you upload audio files, just use the same button you use to attach images or video. Audio files can be MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A or 3GP files. The maximum file size is usually 99MB, but there is no limit on running time.More info about file attachments on Mastodon at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-post-images-videos-or-audio-in-mastodon-what-can-i-attach-to-a-post-how-do-i-post-gifs

@pteryx I think it's useful to treat technical vocab separately in general and technical contexts? Quite often technical terms migrate into a general use with a related but slightly different meaning.When non-tech people say "algorithm" they almost always mean a manipulative opaque system that messes around with their timeline in unclear ways.Another example is "computer", which almost always means a laptop or desktop but technically it could mean a phone, watch, microwave etc etc.

@jonobie Toot! unfortunately hasn't been maintained for a long while now, its last update was two years ago

@wendyhk If you want more visibility and interaction on any kind of account, there are some tips here:https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse

@ElPamplina Thanks, added it to the list!

@Develix No, but there is a notification bell feature which lets you make sure you don't miss anything from favourite accounts:https://fedi.tips/how-to-be-notified-when-someone-posts-on-mastodon/

@peterwidmayer If there is an account dominating your timeline with too many posts, you might want to put them in their own mini-timeline or perhaps a themed mini-timeline with other similar accounts.You can make mini-timelines using Mastodon's Lists feature:https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

@xuan Thanks, fixed!

@rachel Yup, absolutely. I have tried to mention this in the guide linked above.If a server is really badly moderated, it tends to get more and more isolated as other servers defederate it.
