On Mastodon, if you've clicked a "Follow" button and it turns into "Pending" or "Cancel Follow" or "Request Sent", it means the follow hasn't actually happened yet.
Usually it's because the account has follow requests switched on, so you just wait for them to approve your request.
However, sometimes it's due to other reasons, and you may have to do something special to get the follow to work. Lots of info and full instructions at:

We at Vivaldi are the only browser company with a Mastodon server. We have chosen to support the Fediverse in every way we can. We will continue to do so as we need options away from Big Tech.
Quite some tech journalists and "influencers" out there keep on telling us that #Mastodon (and the whole #fediverse, because they typically don't know that there is more than just one service ;) is losing users after the last wave of newcomers.
Weird thing is: I keep on getting more followers and my timeline is getting better and more diverse with a lot of inspiring content and respectful discussions.
So, I guess, smaller is better :) Thank you all for being awesome!
Mastodon Now Sends Referer Headers! Hurrah!
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/12/mastodon-now-sends-referer-headers-hurrah/
Back in 2022, I wrote this rather grumpy post on Mastodon, the federated social media platform.
@Edent@mastodon.socialTerence Eden
Mastodon enforces a "noreferrer" on all external links.
I have mixed feelings about that.
As a blogger, I want to see *where* visitors are coming from. I also like to see (and sometimes join in) with the conversations they're having.
But, I get that people want privacy and don't want to "leak" where they're visiting from.
Is it such a bad thing to tell a website "I was referred from this specific server"?
❤️ 61💬 16🔁 2907:09 - Fri 11 November 2022When you click on this link - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news - your browser says "Hey! BBC! Please can I have your /news page? BTW, I was referred here by shkspr.mobi. THANKS!" This is called the "Referer" and, yes, it is mispelt.
One the one hand, sending the referer is good; it lets the linked-to server know who is linking to it. That allows them to see where traffic is coming from. On the other hand, this could be bad for much the same reason.
If you run a server anarcho_terrorists.biz, you probably don't want the FBI knowing that your members are sharing links to their pages. If you run a small personal server, you may not want anyone knowing that you personally linked to them. If you run a server for a marginalised community, you may not want a hate-site to know your members are linking to you.
But if you're a large-ish, general purpose, non-private site - like Mastodon.social - where's the harm in allowing referer headers?
Anyway, for historic reasons, Mastodon blocked the referer header. This, I believe, was sensible for smaller servers but a miss-step for larger servers. As I pointed out last week:
@Edent@mastodon.socialTerence Eden
Two years later.
Want to know one of the major reasons Mastodon didn't catch on with journalists and large website owners?
It is *invisible* in referrer statistics.
Here's my blog from the last month.
BlueSky now sends me more traffic than Bing.
How much traffic does Mastodon send? It is impossible to know due to the "noreferrer" header in all links.
(I'm not saying your privacy isn't important. But you can't grow a community if no-one knows you exist.)
❤️ 305💬 57🔁 24812:48 - Sat 07 December 2024I'm not the only one to make this point - it has been a popular complaint for some time.
A few days ago, Mastodon changed to allow this to be configurable.
This is excellent news. Website owners will be able to (somewhat) accurately see how much traffic Mastodon sends them. That way they can determine if there is a suitably large audience to engage with on the Fediverse.
It is, of course, slightly more complicated than that!
Instance owners can opt-in to allowing Referer headers (it is off by default).
The policy means that only the domain name is sent; not the full page.
Mastodon is federated and there are thousands of sites. Even if they all opted-in, their statistics will be fragmented.
Apps can set their own Referer header - leading to more fragmentation.
Even if they do opt-in, users can set their browsers not to send Referer headers.
Nevertheless, I'm delighted with this change. Hopefully it will allow the Fediverse to grow and attract more users.
Hey @apps
Is it possible to hide boosts and replies in the Fedilab app? If yes, how? If not, is this in the roadmap?
Thanks!

📚 Mastodon History
Back in February 23rd, 2016 — Mastodon first described itself as:
“Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project.”
The history of Mastodon is tied to GNU Social.

If you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.
Mastodon.scot is a Mastodon server mainly intended for people in Scotland or those who identify as Scottish:

Hi, friends.
I wrote an article on being a Mastodon moderator. I talk about the process, our mental health, the challenges of mutual aid, and more.
It leaves me a little vulnerable, but I think it’s an important story to tell.
If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Okay, here goes…

Let it snow! ❄️
I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.
Here's the source code for server admins: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon/commit/9bf1563af50842a5f61b34b7cc095fb746e5d15b#diff-5fcd1b6168ec33e0eff0a05fcdeacfab68e261215bbdb719be6b3526173be770

Not many people know this, but Mastodon has a built-in official post scheduling system which can publish posts at pre-arranged times and dates.
Unfortunately there's no official interface for the scheduler yet, so you have to use a third party app to access the scheduler. These third party apps let you use it:
Android: Tusky, Fedilab, Moshidon & Subway Tooter
iPhone/iPad: Mona
🌐 Web: https://plan.fedilab.app
