Better YouTube links for mastodon posts via iOS.

A simple edit to the shortened link YT spits out will return the thumbnail and description back to its former glory, as well as removing google tracking bullcrap.

Apologies if you knew this already.
Intended for dummies, like myself.

Enjoy!

For those of you who understand how Website verification in Mastodon works, can you look at this and tell me why it's not working? I keep expecting a checkmark to show up on my profile page, but one never does. Thanks!

@FediTips any ideas?

If you want to search for a reply you made to somebody you can't just search for part of their name/handle. You need to include the @ and the full handle (but you don't need the server part). The handle in the following example is weird by design to make sure I'm not tagging an account that actually exists:

@someHandle123 from:me is:reply

Amazed at how smooth #Elk (elk.zone) is as a Mastodon client. Replaced the official app with the Elk PWA on mobile and it’s butter.

So - for the first time ever I'm logged out of my iPhone Mastodon app (Mastodon for iOs).

If I log in, it wants me to agree to give it blank check permssions over my account. I don't wanna, and the sudden change concerns me. It also says "This is a 3rd part application."

Was there some change i should know about? Does anyone have a better recommendation? Thx.

Is there a way to NOT be notified when a boosted/liked post is edited?

Mastodon Tip:
Replies aren’t tucked away like on other platforms—they’re full posts. Your comments can appear in timelines, get boosted, and be seen by people outside the thread.

Write replies like you're part of a public conversation—because you are.

#ThoughtfulMastodonInvitations

These days when I ask someone to join me on Mastodon. I like to pair that ask with a recommendation for a great server to join. Obviously they are very welcome to go down a rabbit hole themselves and pick out one themselves, but in my experience a thoughtful recommendation of a suitable server or two really helps them to actually step across and to feel supported in the process.

I see it as this 'first account' divide, once in and playing around, people get much more confident either bedding in with where they started or making additional accounts on other servers, for themselves or their projects/orgs.

It's sort of like recommending a good place to go for dinner or a good wine or movie suggesstion.

Do you have certain mastodon servers you recommend to particular people, would love to hear your thoughts.

Mastodon Pro Tip: Ever miss "that good post" you made a while back? Just search for it! Type in the search bar:

from:me word

And there it is.

Recuerdo que si tienes un enlace en tu perfil y este es tu página web, puedes verificar el link poniendo un <link rel="me" href="el link de tu cuenta en el fedi"/> para que salga el campo como verificado

Más info: en la página oficial de mastodon. Esto también funciona igual para Misskey

(Otros softwares del fediverso no los he probado Akkoma Pleroma, sé que en pixelfed no funciona todavía...)

Put this in search field:

Hey fediverse, you got better ways to search for videos on the fediverse?(FediVideo)

I think this may even beat Sepia Search! (to some degree)
