Just a reminder that if you change your device, #Fedilab has an export/import feature in settings.
It will generate a file that you can even import from the login page just after installing Fedilab on the new device. You will have an exact copy of Settings and authenticated accounts without any extra efforts. #fedilabTips

@apps Dude, you have been working hard on #Fedilab and other project for so many years. Thank you very much! 💚 The work must be worth it though. #FreeSoftware should not be a one way street.Asking for help is fine.

I'm not an active Fedilab user right now but I am still keeping an eye on your work and I am very thankful for all the stuff you have been doing. Look forward to the future, donation is on its way.

With #Fedilab you can see profiles or conversations remotely with a simple tap. That means the app will use the public API of remote instances to get all data that might not be known by your instance.
This is really useful to get all messages especially for small instances.

⚠️If you made the choice to enable remote conversations and/or remote profiles by default in settings, it will bring edge effects with the coloring of action buttons such boost, fav, etc. (1/2)

Here's an accessibility tip for Fedilab, an Android app for Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, and GoToSocial.

There are two settings that hide the top bar and compose button when a timeline is scrolled down. This helps to make the UI less cluttered for sighted users. But it makes these controls unavailable to screen readers. (Continued in reply.)

If you want that #Fedilab displays your pronouns close to your username in messages, you just have to create a field with the key "pronouns" (don't translate it) and what you want in the value field.
This might not be limited to the Fedilab app.

Wer benutzt hier noch Fedilab (Mastodon) ?

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass wenn ich mit der App einen Beitrag sterne, kommt das häufig nicht an, denn wenn ich z.B. später mit einem Browser am PC nachgucke ist da gar nix passiert.
