Hey there 👋
If you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, it is totally fine to ask! I'm an actual human being here, and I'll try to help answer any questions if I can!
I didn't set up this account to be one-directional or mass audience, it's meant to be about helping people directly. 🙂

What does „favouriting“ or „liking“ (for me it is a star-symbol) actually do?
Does it increase visibility of someone‘s toot if i click it?
ps: generally: Thank you for your effort and knowledge sharing!!

I'm really sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "evidence"?
Could you give an example?

Als Antwort auf Fedi.Tips • • •Given that we are talking, I also ask you this: what is libera.site? I found some accounts with that server but Mastodon doesn't put it in its list of servers.
Thanks again 🌺

Libera.site is a Hubzilla server, it's part of the Fediverse but uses different software to run. Mastodon is part of a wider network called the Fediverse: fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-wha…
By the way, the Mastodon list of servers is just a tiny fraction of all the servers. There are thousands of servers on the entire Fediverse, no one is sure how many there are.
The idea of the official list is just to help people find a good server to start on.

First thing, you can DM by setting a post to "mentions/specific people" visibility, more info at fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts…
The content warning system is totally separate to the filtering system. The CW is just when people hide their own posts behind CWs, the filter system is when you hide posts behind filter warnings.
You can make filtered content hide completely in your filter's preferences, select the "Hide completely" option.
