Everyone says subscribe to hashtags to get content. I have no idea how to do that on the official Mastodon Android app. If it’s that obtuse, it’s not going to catch on easily.
Microblogging was never my preference and as it wasn’t easy enough to figure out in the app itself, being a casual user, I never looked it up in a guide/video.
I use fedilabs. Works very well. Allows hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions
This is a pretty good example tbh. consider:
make a twitter account, you can see what’s popular and tweet insults at celebrities
vs
make a mastodon account, you can use fedilabs to allow hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions
This is getting posted a lot which is too bad because it’s worse than useless.
Do people not understand how technically useless 80% of users are? They CAN NOT REMEMBER THEIR PASSWORDS. (No, they didn’t write them down. Password management software? lol.)
I’m saying the height of their technical ability is to remember their password. And we want them to switch platforms, away from a fascist right-wing brainwashing troll factory to- what is it called again?
Yeah. It needs a guide with this title, but actually useful. Well-written, with the context that people reading it are already well above and beyond in making an effort.
Why are so many people still on Xitter? I have a fucking idea.
The question is … do we care about THAT 80 % of the people. I would be more then happy if we can have that 20 % of more technical-oriented audience :-)
That 80% is important. We need non-techies, because they remind us that there’s more to life than just computers.
