If you know someone who wants help using this place, I can answer their questions directly.

@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.

Aww... cheers! That's really kind of you!
Well done for the support you're providing too!
-
@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/

Aww, thank you so much! That is really generous and greatly appreciated, it makes a huge difference in keeping these all going! Thanks!

@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. -
@FediTips VIP=Very important post
Tyvm for your work, do you need support?
-
Aww, thanks, that's very kind of you to ask.
I have a Ko-fi and Liberapay to help cover the bills from the sites and accounts, any kind of support is appreciated!

Since 2020, I've been trying to help people use the Fediverse, and encourage the Fedi to grow, through five accounts and five websites:

I'm not sure, I'm going to boost your question in case others can offer suggestions.
By the way, when you say "end of long posts first", do you mean the final posts of threads?
-
@FediTips On the timeline or home, posts appear bottom first. In a thread, it's OK. Newer posts are at the bottom.
-
You mean the newest posts appear at the top?
-

-
@ianp5a @FediTips you want new posts to appear at the bottom, and then to scroll up to read them?
note: I still don't think I understand, because this seems to contradict your first description, as far as I could understand it. I'm not trying to be difficult -- just trying to understand, and perhaps help others understand too. that said, if you find my questions annoying, feel free to tell me and/or stop trying to answer them. maybe someone else will respond in a more helpful way!

Most apps show the latest posts at the top like Mastodon does?
Is that not happening for you?
-
@ianp5a @FediTips I just read thru your exchange with feditips, which wasn't there yet when I started. I'm still confused but maybe getting closer!
so, you're scrolling along down, and at some point you see the last post in an extended thread, of which you haven't previously read the earlier posts? not ideal. you'd like the feed to handle extended threads differently so that you could more easily recognize them and start reading them from the beginning.
maybe? -
