This is what I get for you on the Mastodon app on Android
@ParkinJim @podgyfingers@mastodonapp.uk @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS@mastodonapp.uk @jneill
On the desktop I just clicked mention [insert name] for each person I wanted to mention i9n a toot, using advanced web view. Nothing even close to that on Tusky.
@The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @jneill same on Mastsdon app
@ParkinJim @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @jneill
This is how you open it on Tusky
@Dunningkruger @ParkinJim @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @jneill
But does that let you just click the name to add to a toot, and allow you to repeat for lots of other people? No copy and paste?
If I'm on Tusky I do it that way, which takes a while!
Be good if there was a better way.
@The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @ParkinJim @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado
Now this is interesting. People on mastadonapp are unavailable in the Tusky preview for me and removed when I click the post. I'm on mas(.)to.
@jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado however if I add in @podgyfingers@mastodonapp.uk and @JohnWest_JAWS then you will see them.
It's because the initial post was from @The_Colbobs who's on mstdn.social and mstdn.social has blocked mastodonapp.uk
The "joy" of decentralised social media.
@ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS Hold up. Why has mstdn.social blocked mastodonapp.uk ?
@Gargron
@stux @Stuxhost
@stux@mstdn.social is this something you can answer/help with? Seems to me these federated instances all need to intercommunicate?
@LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @podgyfingers@mastodonapp.uk @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social they do communicate, but they also have their own policies as to what is acceptable.
For example, there are instances like kiwifarms and gab, which are blocked by most of the "Fediverse"
@LittleGreyRab @ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social It's nearly impossible as a new user to know which server to pick so I just picked one at random. This server could be blocked by a server with my favourite users on and then we can't interact
@Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social
So long as you don't sign up for an explicitly abusive server, you're fine.
If it's advertised on joinmastodon.org, then it's very unlikely to be widely blocked.

mastsdonapp.uk is advertised there, however it has subsequently been blocked by mastodon.social
I think it is something to do with JK Rowling
@ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social Feeling a bit tech-thick here but why is not the poster @ the instance who is blocked - the whole instance seems a bit counter-productive..? Or have I misunderstood? Apologies if so..
