A lot of Mastodon's users joined in August last year, so now is the time of many fediversaries.

You can find your first post on Mastodon by opening your public profile with ?min_id=0 appended to the URL!

Pixelfed.de ist jetzt 14 Monate alt, aber heute ist der erste Tag an dem Föderation vollständig funktioniert - es kann jetzt Profilen von anderen Instanzen, und u.a. Mastodon und Pleroma gefolgt werden - Einfach die Profil-URL in die Suche eintragen und es taucht in den Ergebnissen auf. 😀

Update finished.

Everyone hosted by Masto.host is now running v2.9.3

Any issues please let me know.

Thanks! 🐘

I will be starting the update to Mastodon v2.9.3 for all instances hosted by Masto.host

There should be less than 30 seconds of downtime during the update.

You can read more about this release here: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.3

You can view all of a person's posts filtered by hashtag by adding "/tagged/" to the end of their public profile address, then adding the hashtag.

For example, here is a link to all of switching.social's posts tagged #MastoTips:

https://mastodon.at/@switchingsocial/tagged/mastotips

This can be very useful for artists wanting to link to a portfolio, or writers wanting to link to articles about a topic.

You can also add these to your public profile page by going to Preferences > Edit Profile > Featured Hashtags

If you're on an instance running the latest version of Mastodon, you may have noticed the image attachment button has turned into a paperclip 📎

This is because you can now attach lots of different kinds of media: images, video and audio 👍

The supported file types are:

JPEG/PNG/GIF for images

MP4/WEBM/MOV for video

MP3/WAV/OGG/FLAC for audio

There's a size limit of 8 megabytes on images and 40 megabytes on video/audio.
