As you might have noticed earlier today, I accidentally reset the poll from yesterday 😳
So, here's a warning for poll creators:
If you edit a Mastodon poll, changing the options at all will reset the poll to zero, even if people have already voted on it. It will do this automatically without warning, so only edit options if you're okay with resetting the poll.

Today, a very niche tip for RSS fans 
As well as Mastodon's built-in hashtag following system, you can also follow hashtags through RSS instead:
1. Search for a hashtag on a Mastodon server's website
2. Add .rss to the end of the URL
3. Use this URL as the feed address for that tag
For example to subscribe to #Dogs on mstdn.social you would use this address in your feed reader:
You can make posts appear on your Mastodon account at specific times using the post scheduling feature.
Scheduling isn't in the official apps or web interface, but it is available through third party apps such as Tusky and Fedilab, and through third party websites like plan.fedilab.app and buffer.com/mastodon
The feature is built into Mastodon, but for some unknown reason there's no official interface for it yet. That's why it is only available through third parties.
For those that might be new to the #Fediverse and to #Mastodon in general, I've written a few tips and tricks to help you get started.

While this isn't a complete list, I feel it's a great place to get started and what can help you find good content and to help others find you and what you are interested in.

So 162 people voted on this poll, and 56 boosted and many participated in a really good discussion.
The hashtags (#)FediHelp and (#)MastodonHelp were top, with 45% and 36% of the votes.
The most important new suggestions were, in my opinion (#)FediTips and (#)MastodonTips.
I'll explain why.
It's a really good idea to have a pinned introduction post saying a bit about your account, maybe including some relevant images, audio or video attachments if possible.
Pinned posts are automatically backfilled, which means even servers that have never seen your account before will display your pinned introduction, and your timeline will never look blank.

I got carried away over lunch and wrote a "How to get started with Mastodon" post for people who haven't signed up yet.
Attention fedizens, it has come to our attention that more trolls are causing a ruckus on the #fediverse. Beware of users who use acronyms like lgbtq/lgbtqia in posts or on their profiles.
LGBTQ/LGBTQIA stands for Let's Get Banned Today Quickly (by) Instance Admins, is used to refer to a group of trolls who like to block evade or "speedrun" getting defederated.
They will make inflammatory posts such as the one below to see how quickly they can get on #fediblock.
If you see any #lgbtqia individuals please block and federate safely.
