You might have an active Home timeline, unfortunately, #Mastodon instances won't keep all messages. So you might lose/miss some of them.
#Fedilab introduced the ability to cache your Home timeline in the background. This is also useful if you have a weak connection, the app will read them later from cache. #FedilabTips

@apps
I have been using different #mastodon apps.....and it all comes back to fedilabs having the killer features. Thank you for the efforts, dev team!

I really love the catch-up feature on @phanpy. When I don't have time to scroll through my timeline on the Fediverse, I can simply see the most shared, liked, and commented-on posts from the networks I decided to follow. I know I'll still miss some good posts, but that's how I discover good ones I missed.

We can select the time range we want to catch up on. 1/2

We might be a small team but we're the right team.

Using our past experiences, we're propelling the Newsmast Foundation forward, helping social media pioneers make the move away from Big Tech towards owning their community.

So, I finally figured out what happened to all those followers who vanished.

Turns out someone blocked me from an entire instance—just because of an issue I had with one person. That’s not just petty, it’s straight-up over the top.

That block stops me from interacting with everyone on their server. Quite a bit on your community chose to follow and engage with me. And you just decided, unilaterally, one day for them that they shouldn’t be allowed anymore?

That’s not moderation. That’s control. And it’s ridiculous.

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

I guess followers on the Fediverse are listed in reverse order by time. This morning I scrolled to the bottom of my followers list and clicked on the oldest 150 of them to see what they have been tooting in case I overlooked them. This is what I found, which probably will not surprise anyone:

1. More than 90% are inactive profiles with toots being years old, or empty feeds that may result from a setting for older toots to expire.
2. Some profiles are defunct profiles on old instances that have been abandoned and replaced by new active profiles.
3. Some profiles contain new toots I missed, perhaps because they contain no hashtags.

I think many members lose interest for various reasons, including if they do not get much interaction from others—this surely also happens on other social media platforms. What to do, if anything? Guapo, my dog, is meanwhile dreaming and making muffled barking sounds in his sleep.
