Would you like to create posts longer than 500 characters on Mastodon?
You can have longer posts by moving your account to a server that offers longer posts. I've done a list of well-run reliable servers with larger post sizes at:

If you're not sure how to move your account to a different server, there's a step-by-step guide at fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma…

Is your Mastodon timeline too empty or too full? Are you seeing stuff you don't want to, and missing stuff you do want to see? Is your timeline overwhelmed by someone who shares too many posts?
These and lots more timeline problems are solved in the "How to customise your Mastodon timeline" guide:

There's now a Fediverse alternative to TikTok called Loops. It's currently in beta testing so it is rough round the edges, but you can sign up and try it for yourself. More info at:
You can follow its official account at:
➡️ @loops
There's an iPhone app just released at:
➡️ apps.apple.com/app/loops-by-pi…
Loops now federates with the Fediverse, there are several Loops servers and Loops accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc (e.g. @dansup).

Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hasht…
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂

Would you like your public Mastodon posts to be as easy as possible for people to discover? If so, you might want to opt into "full text search". This will make your public posts show up in search results a lot more easily.
There's a step-by-step guide on how to activate it and answers to lots of questions about it at:
➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or…
If you don't activate it, your public posts will still be searchable but only by hashtag.
