I tried going into profile settings via web on my phone, it shows me a whole new set of options. I have a few questions wrt options and usage.
1. What is profile metadata supposed to be? It says Label and Content, where does this show up?
2. List account on directory (that I checked on recommendation) - where can this be seen? How do I access said directory if I'm looking for interesting accounts to follow?
3. I read somewhere that specific hashtags can be followed by clicking on the follow button that appears next to the hashtag upon searching. I tried this on both web and Android app and somehow cannot see any option to follow a hashtag (eg #photography), is there something I'm missing here?
@NehaKhazanchi seeing that people have answered 1 and 3 already, 2 means the explore tab openable via web on your phone (the hashtag on the right) will show your profile in the different tabs, directly in the For You tab for recommendations to others and within hashtags
@mehluv ah, that isn't available on the mastodon official app I suppose
@NehaKhazanchi oh the official app is actually the worst one, Tusky and Fedilab are better alternatives and the easiest best one is the web browser version
@mehluv I'll go with Tusky then. I think when moving from bird app to here the natural thing to do is to goto the app Store and download the official app. Takes a while to understand this space and how it actually works.
@NehaKhazanchi yeah but if you want to try Fedilab I'd recommend getting it from F-Droid, otherwise Tusky is the app of choice, easily has the best UX of the bunch
