Zwei #Physiker der @tuberlin haben einen Artikel zum Einstieg bei #Mastodon verfasst.
Im neuen #Physik-Journal beschreiben #MarioBirkholz und #HendrikWeimer die Aktivitäten der @DPGPhysik und laden alle Mitglieder der #DPG ein, dort mitzutun.

Tipp: #Physik, #physics oder #DPGPhysik in die Posts mitaufnehmen, so dass sich alle an Physik Interessierten im #Fediverse wiederfinden.
@neuSoM @tuberlin @DPGPhysik
Sehr schön!
Was ich im Artikel jetzt nicht gesehen habe: Man kann nicht nur Accounts, sondern auch Hashtags folgen! (Hilfreich, eben weil es keinen Algorithmus gibt.)
Und wie ich kürzlich lernte, ist es Screenreader-freundlicher, wenn man die Hashtags statt in den Fließtext unten drunter setzt.
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:
https://fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-size
If you're not sure how to move your account to a different server, there's a step-by-step guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server
One possibly simpler solution is to try asking your instance admin nicely if they wouldn't mind upping the limit. That worked for me on mastodonapp.uk, because @wild1145 is a total star 🙂

I'm guessing you've tried browsing the #PeerTube hashtag and searching for your interests on;
... and ...
Some other discovery methods are discussed here;

#HatTip to @FediTips for the diligent work they continue to do on these guides.
FYI there are bots that can help with alt text for images. You follow the bot, it follows you back, and if you post an image without alt text, it replies with suggested text (no idea how it's generated). Then you can edit the post with the image and copypasta the suggested text into the alt text field.

How to make Mastodon less US-centric? I wanna engage with LatAm, European and Asian politics probably more than US ones.
With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?
#fediTips
> What could be done to .. the increase the user base ..?
Our problem @taylorlorenz?
The fact that influencer like you refuse to setup their own instances.You can do that with a few clicks from where you are right now, for example with @mastohost and offer your followers a profile on your server. They become your community member, supporting your work with a modest yearly fee.
And don't go big is beautiful!
Exclusiveness is key and moderation the bottle neck of healthy social media.
Hi Mastodon! I'm looking to migrate to a new instance from .social in an effort to strengthen the fediverse (through growing diverse instances) and hopefully build my community here. If you have recommendations for instances currently open to signup that focus on #solarpunk #permaculture #urbanHomesteading #antiCapitalism and the like, I'd love to hear them.

Many thanks to folks using the content warning (CW) feature on posts as needed (especially violent photos or videos). Thanks also for adding hashtags, helpful for filtering / searching / following ❤️
FYI, a CW does not hide information, it adds information. It only takes one click to reveal the body of the post. It gives folks with PTSD or other issues a chance to prepare.
Anyone who finds CWs annoying can set an option to expand all CW posts - see attached image.
There should be a “starter pack” for this thing #forkiverse

Have you got registrations set to require approval? If you're concerned about the population growth on your service, you are allowed to turn down some people's requests for accounts. You also have the option of switching to invite-only registrations for a while.
To make room for newbies, maybe encourage existing members to consider migrating to another service, where they've found others who share their interests.
