   A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:

   If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!

     I don't see a bell (I'm on the website).

     @Photorat @pippzipp The most direct way to ask the question might be, are you at the URL myinstance.example/web/@theirname@theirinstance.example or are you at the URL theirinstance.example/@theirname?
     
     This even applies for people on the same instance as you: yourinstance.example/@theirname will not have the bell, but myinstance.example/web/@theirname will. I just checked.

     @clacke @darius @pippzipp
     I'm not sure what you're asking.

     I just checked a few more profiles. The bell shows up on some but not others.

     @clacke @darius @pippzipp
     This isn't true. Most of them do not have the bell.

     A few myinstance.example/web/@theirname@theirinstance.example and a few theirinstance.example/@theirname do.

     @Photorat @clacke @pippzipp Wow, I haven't encountered that before. And you follow all of these accounts?

     @darius @clacke @pippzipp
     Hmmm… Now I'm seeing the bell on all instances. I must have been looking at some that I wasn't following.
