Posting hints and tips about Mastodon and the Fediverse 🌍

There are lots of answers to common questions about Mastodon and the Fediverse on my website at https://fedi.tips. If you can't find your answer, @ or DM me and I will try to help! There's no such thing as a silly question!

The Fediverse is a network of thousands of independent social media servers of many different kinds.

The most popular kind is Mastodon, but it wasn't the first and isn't the only one. Some of the accounts you interact with are on other server types, e.g. @Iancylkowski is on Pixelfed and @theatticdwellers is on PeerTube. There are many Fediverse server types:

Whichever type you're signed up on, they connect together to form a social network called the Fediverse.

update:

  • The https://kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @todayilearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest

  • There's a new Kbin server at https://readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".

p.s. If you are browsing a magazine, thread or account from Kbin (or anywhere else on the Fediverse!) and you want to interact with it somewhere else on the Fediverse but you can't find it by searching, here's how to make your server notice it:

  1. Go to Kbin in your web browser
  2. Copy the web address of what you want to interact with
  3. Paste that address into the search box on Mastodon (or any other Fediverse server type)

It will then appear on your own server where you can interact with it.

p.p.s. Several people asking in the thread about how to appear on the microblogging sections of Kbin magazines.

As far as I can tell, just include one of the magazine's listed tags in your posts on Mastodon etc. For example to appear on the Apple magazine's microblogging section include or or one of the other tags as shown at on the right side of the screen at https://kbin.social/m/apple

Microblogging is a separate tab from Threads, you need a Kbin account to start a new thread.
