Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?
You can ask questions by replying or messaging, and I'll try to find you some answers 🙂
Don't worry if a question seems simple, there is no such thing as a stupid question.
If you prefer to look stuff up yourself, there is lots of help for using Mastodon and the Fediverse on the website at https://fedi.tips (new people might especially like the "Quick Start" section at the top).
It's not your client, it's the structure of a federated network where each instance is properly independent: https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/
There are things you can do about it, and things your admin can do about it, I've tried to list them at https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse
If you just want to do one thing, follow as many relevant accounts as possible, you can discover them with many methods: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends
If your timeline is overwhelmed, use Lists: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon
Thank you! 🙏 I'm very glad if it's useful.
p.s. Just to make absolutely clear, I am a human being! 😅 I do not use any AI/LLMs.
You may be a human being, but by this time, you've also become an institution!
🌹 Thanks for doing what you do! 🌹
Aww, thank you very much! It's very kind! 🙂
Yeah, bots by themselves can be very useful. They usually don't use AI/LLMs but instead use human-written software to fetch particular info (for example a weather forecast bot) or interact in a particular way (for example a chess game bot).
I've listed good bots on here at https://fedi.directory/tag/bots
BTW thanks for what you do. I'm quite new to fediverse and your really help me a lot !
Aww, thank you! 🙏 It's really rewarding if these posts and guides help people!
Cheers, that's very kind of you to say so 😊
