  • official list of third-party cohost tools: userscripts, userstyles, browser extensions, etc
  • unofficial list of useful stuff for cohost: more customization, tools, and guides
  • tag your stuff! explore others' tags!
  • don't use the "cohost global feed" tag you might see, i invented it by accident (people took a joke seriously) and it turned out to be a bad thing (causes various technical and social problems, goes against the spirit of the site)
  • be kind to others
  • you can put CSS in posts using inline styles and various HTML tags that accept a style attribute
  • you can mix markdown and HTML. cohost's layout engine is a work of fucking art
  • cohost is community-supported and if you pay $5 (or more) a month for Cohost Plus, you get benefits like being able to upload 10-megabyte images. cohost doesn't automatically recompress or resize your images, which is lovely for things like grain-heavy photographs that get shrunken and murdered by JPEG recompression on other social media sites (especially bluesky and tumblr)
  • You Can Post Porno On Here. just make sure to mark it 18+ and use CWs for things that are likely to seriously bother someone.
  • check the settings pages for options including: silencing or muffling posts with given tags, silencing posts with particular CWs, or automatically expanding CW'd posts by default if you'd prefer to mainline that shit
  • you can embed all kinds of things that iframely supports by putting the URL on its own line, with an empty line above and below it. if you run into a tweet you can't embed (because it's NSFW or for other arbitrary twitter reasons), fxtwitter and vxtwitter both work
  • the website is run by a small group of queer communists. if you see any sort of transphobe, fascist, or nazi on here, report them and they will be ejected basically instantly

in reply to @atomicthumbs's post:

I definitely use tags for discovery! I have several bookmarked tags that I check regularly, and if people aren't using the tags for those topics then I'll miss out on all the discussion about them because it's literally the only thing search looks for.

Days late, but same here. It only happens when I "allow this media" for twitter, and stops if I actually scroll down to the embedded tweet, so I'd guess it's a bug with loading those off-screen or something.
