The "unlisted" or "quiet public" post visibility setting on Mastodon is often misunderstood.An unlisted post DOES NOT show up in search results, trends, hashtag follows or the Local/Federated timelines. An unlisted post DOES show up in the Home timelines of your followers, including when you make a thread with replies.If you want to avoid your own long threads cluttering up followers' Home timelines, use a Fediverse server or platform that supports very high character limits.#FediTips

Do you have a friend who has joined a different server and you want to follow them, but their account doesn't show up in searches?The surest way to find each other's profiles is to exchange account addresses with your friend and paste these into the search box in your app or server. You can find your account address on your profile page:️ https://fedi.tips/whats-my-accounts-address-how-do-i-follow-other-peoples-addresses-how-can-people-follow-my-addressPasting an account address causes that account's profile to show up on your server, you can then just click "Follow".#FediTips
