I’m fairly new to Mastodon. Is there some secret to editing a post? I can’t seem to get it to work.
I posted using Ice Cubes, which doesn’t seem to support edit.
I then tried Ivory (after subscribing), but when posting the edit it gives an error “coudn’t find what you were looking for.”
Next, I tried directly on my instance in Safari. There is no edit button for the post there.
Delete works in all cases. And, “delete and edit” or “delete and redraft” seem to work.
Any suggestions?
@coperob Check to see if you can edit on the full web interface on laptop/desktop or the official Mastodon app. It might not be enabled on your instance.
Editing works flawlessly via Ivory on Mastodon dot Social.
@ianRobinson Thanks. I tried to edit with the official app, but tapping “edit” doesn’t do anything. The full web interface on my instance does not show an edit button.
Perhaps you’re right and it’s not enabled on my instance. If so that’s a shame. Maybe I need to find a different instance.
I appreciate the help!
@ianRobinson Good idea. I’ll see what they say.
@coperob Ask the admins. That are at @QOTO
