   In case you missed it, Mastodon now lets you edit posts ?

   You can edit any post you've made, and it will send a notification to people who have already interacted with it to prevent any hijinks or shenanigans. It also lets people see the previous versions.

   You can access it through some third party apps and your server's website. The iPhone/iPad app Toot! has it for example.

   (The official app doesn't yet support it, so it's another good reason to check out third party apps.)

     @feditips I sure would like to find the answer to this problem so I can start using a different app with these great features. I signed up for Mstdn a couple of weeks ago using the Mastodon app. Replied to confirmation email. Can’t log into browser or Metatext using this email. Should I start over on browser, creating a new account?

     @feditips How do I follow on all sites? There’s people back on Twitter who can’t work out how to use Mastodon.

     @feditips So sorry to necro a super old post, but this is to top search result for how edit notifications work on Mastodon and I just want to clarify that "You can edit any post you've made, and it will send a notification to people who have already interacted with it to prevent any hijinks or shenanigans." is incorrect.

     When posts are edited, ONLY PEOPLE WHO BOOSTED A POST ARE NOTIFIED. Other intractions such as favoriting and replying do not seem to trigger a notification, at least on stock Mastodon v4.2.1.
