Weird behaviour in the app (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/mastodon@lemmy.ml
 
 

When I select to log in to my account, I get sent to a page with which I log in. After that, it doesn't switch back to the app, but it saltays within that website page and goes into the -change the password- section. Does this happen because I have not yet been accepted on the server (as stated in the yellow box)?

I recently suggested Mastodon to a friend and she is using it on IOS. She sent me a picture of her visiting an account and the name shows as @username@herusername@mastodon.social

This doesn't happen for all accounts and I personally never noticed it. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be that way ?

Edit: She is using the "official" Mastodon app

Followgraph for Mastodon (followgraph.vercel.app)
submitted 2 years ago by spaduf@slrpnk.net to c/mastodon@lemmy.ml
 
 

Followgraph looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon, and then the people they follow. Then it sorts them by the number of mutuals, or otherwise by how popular those accounts are. It then shows the list with Mastodon links to follow them.

The fascinating thing about PeerTube right now is that the frontend experience actually seems to be best on other services. This is primarily because discoverability between instances is fairly poor due to both federation mechanics and due to the nature of bootstrapping social. Because Lemmy and Mastodon feature their own human driven mechanisms for content discovery this problem is largely solved so long as you are browsing through another platform (the same mechanisms do not seem to transfer well to a youtube like frontend, although nobody has tried yet). Comments made on Lemmy and Mastodon will also federate back to PeerTube so you're not segregated based on what service you follow from.

You can subscribe to channels from both Lemmy and Mastodon. Check out some popular channels:
!veronicaexplains_channel@tilvids.com
!letstalkphilosophy_channel@tilvids.com
!alliterative_channel@tilvids.com
!kde@tube.kockatoo.org
!lofiorchestra@makertube.net
!random_retro@makertube.net

NOTES:

  • All of the above are channels. On Lemmy you can only subscribe to channels while on Mastodon you can subscribe to both channels and users. This is important as some videos get federated under the channels and some under the users. I believe this is up to the individual creator.
  • Whitelist only is still fairly popular among PeerTube instances so you may not be able to access all creators from your Lemmy instance.
  • Federation does not backfill so if the channels appear blank don't panic. It will fill in with future videos.
  • If you follow these channels from Mastodon and then put them in a list you have a feed that is analogous to Youtube's subscribed page.
  • Major advantage to following from Mastodon in these early days is it puts you in a better position to help these channels grow, If the boost button is right there things are a lot more likely to gain traction.

The list can be searched by any of the fields. You can add your Mastodon account to the list and declare your interests.

So is there any apps that fetches new posts on a tineline when starting the app?

@mastodon is growing but it can never replace #twitter. The day Mastodon will make things commercial it will flip.

Just curious to know the different possible use cases.

This feature is half enabled. You can select accounts to feature, but they never show up anywhere right now.

I built this little app that lets you manage all your selections in one place.

I created an account on mastodon.social a few days ago. A day after creation, my account was suspended. My appeal was denied and no reason was given. So I assumed mastodon.social was not accepting new accounts, so I moved over to mastodon.online and created an account there. Today that account was suspended as well, again without reason. I didn't post anything from either account. My only actions were to follow a few people within tech.

Looking at previous posts here, people are laughing at complaints about difficulties of joining mastodon and pushing it away as a simple task. I have now attempted to join two of the highest suggested servers of mastodon and gotten suspended from both. I am uninterested in shotgunning servers until I find one which doesn't suspend me without reason.

How is the onboarding process of mastodon supposed to work if the top suggested servers are suspending new accounts without warning or reason?
