If you want to let people know about your account on here, it's important to include your full account address (also known as a "Fediverse address").
If you paste a full Fediverse account address into the search box on any server, it will always make the account profile appear, even if previous searches drew a blank.
You can exchange account addresses with others just like you might exchange email addresses or phone numbers.

I think that's the term used by developers and sysadmins? Webfinger generally isn't mentioned at all in user guides.

@feditips Im pretty sure I've heard "webfinger ID" come up more since I think this is the first time I've heard "fediverse address". YMMV, and my brain is toast from this morning.

@feditips just curious, you seem to be big on small servers and self-hosting (you have an instance called growyourownservices) so why is the fedi.tips account hosted on a semi big instance like mstdn social, nothing bad about that server but why not growyourownservices?

Good question!
Mstdn.social was much smaller when I joined it! (Also, incidentally, it is totally different to mastodon.social, it has a different owner).
When I set up my own server at GYOS I moved all my main accounts there except FediTips as I didn't want to have all my eggs in one basket. If my server goes down or gets damaged somehow, I don't want it to wipe out all the major accounts.

@feditips Las imagenes estan bien, pero no se, ya que has empezado con las imagenes de tu identidad del fediverse que es >>>> @feditips las otras imagenes creo debian seer las mismas y no una de pixelfed, sin acritud, es para que se entienda mejor.

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

p.s. This works for addresses from Mastodon but also addresses from other Fediverse platforms too.
You can copy and paste addresses from Pixelfed, PeerTube, BookWyrm etc into Mastodon's search box, their profiles will appear and you'll be able to follow them.

If you include the @ at the start, mailto will not think it is an email address.

@feditips also it is important to share the account URL outside of here (or both), else e.g. a mail. program thinks it is a mail address. Maybe should have used % or so.

If you repeat the search it should work, unless your instance has blocked the account or its home instance.

@feditips This search shows nothing on various instances every now and then.

I'm not sure what you mean? It should work fine in the search box if you include the @ at the beginning.

@feditips @brie psst, there IS a web outside the fediverse ;)
FediTips has moved!
Ah, okay...!
I'm not talking about web addresses. I mean the address on the profile itself.

@feditips I hope someday we can untie our identity from our current host. The fediverse should find a way to incorporate Nostr relays into the network.
