I'm sorry, I don't provide Bluesky support, the people who run it seem a bit dubious (https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/113364985280012085)

@FediTips How can I follow accounts in other fediverse socials from my Mastodon account? Is it possible?
-
Yes!
You follow them exactly as you would follow any account: just click on the name and click "follow".
For example, this is a Pixelfed account:
If you click on it within Mastodon it will look like a Mastodon account, but it's actually a Pixelfed account.
Another example, this is a PeerTube account:
You can follow it just like any other account. If you reply to a video in Mastodon, it appears a a comment in PeerTube.
-
-
You can see the accounts you follow from your profile page. Click on your profile picture or username to go to your own profile.
Once you're on your profile, click on "Following" to see who you follow.
-
@FediTips another one: how can I browse accounts I may be interested in (for ex. on peertube), always from my Mastodon app?
-
There are lots of ways you can discover accounts, most of them work in a cross-platform way.
For example if you do a search in Mastodon, the search results will be from a variety of platforms, not just Mastodon.
Here's a guide for how to discover accounts to follow:

@FediTips Thank you so much for all the awesome support you bring to newcomers joining us FediTips! You're the best!

@FediTips Do you know of any app/website that searches for people you follow on Twitter/X on Mastodon? There were a couple but none of them work.

There used to be lots of them, but Musk shut them all down at his end when he took over Twitter
There's nothing that can be done about this unfortunately.

@FediTips Damm
and what about an app to schedule toots? 
️ -
@FediTips Thanks for all that you do! I just supported you on #Liberapay – I figure I recommend your accounts and site so often I should help with the running costs.
-
Ah that's much easier! Mastodon has a built-in scheduling system supported by many third party apps and sites (though weirdly the official apps don't yet support it).
There's more info here: https://fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-mastodon/

@FediTips
Is there an android client where you can reverse the scroll direction?
It doesn't make sense seeing the very end of long posts first. Quite peculiar.
Thanks for the really helpful work. -
