Here are some of the many types of server on the Fediverse: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/what-other-kinds-of-servers-are-on-the-fediverse You can follow and interact with their accounts from Mastodon, but to access a server type's own special features you will need to get an account on that server type. For example, you can follow BookWyrm accounts from Mastodon, but you need a BookWyrm account to access BookWyrm-specific features such as creating reading lists, using the book database, organising your collection etc. #FediTips #Fediverse

Mastodon is part of a much larger social network called "The Fediverse". That means you can not only follow Mastodon accounts but also accounts from many other platforms such as PeerTube, Friendica, OwnCast, Pixelfed, BookWyrm etc. You're probably already following some non-Mastodon accounts without realising it, because their posts show up in your timeline just like Mastodon posts, and you follow and interact with them exactly the same way.

BookWyrm is the Fediverse's alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. You can find out more about it at https://fedi.tips/bookwyrm-a-social-network-for-people-who-enjoy-reading BookWyrm has a built-in catalogue of books to search, but if the book you want isn't in the results you can optionally add it manually.

How to watch PeerTube videos offline:

  1. Go to the video on the web or the official app
  2. Click ⋯ below the video
  3. Select "Download"

Once it's downloaded to your device, you can watch the video even without an internet connection.

NOTE: This option only appears if the video's uploader has allowed downloads. If you're an uploader you can activate or deactivate downloads at Video > Manage > Customisation > Enable Download (tick or untick, then click Save).

👋 #Introduction I once flew to a city I couldn't pronounce because the ticket was €11. That's the kind of traveler I am. I plan nothing. I overpack. I miss trains. And somehow it always works out. I don't write guides. I don't do "top 10 lists." I just tell you what actually happened. Here to meet people who travel the same way. 💬 What's the most spontaneous trip you've taken? 🔗 Bits and pieces from my travels are in my bio. #Introduction #Travel #Europe #FediTips #Wanderlust

You can delete or edit your own posts in Mastodon by clicking ⋯ and then "Delete" or "Edit". There's also a third option "Delete & re-draft" which is more rarely used but has some very useful niche functions. All three of these options are explained and compared in this guide: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-delete-a-post-on-mastodon The guide also answers common questions about deleting posts, let me know if you have a question that isn't covered. #FediTips #Mastodon
