Here you can choose whether the timelines will automatically load new toots or not, whether gifs automatically move or not, whether there are animations displayed e.g. for boosting or liking a post, whether you can use swiping motions to interact with Mastodon and whether Mastodon will display it's own fonts or fall back to your system's default fonts. | |||

====Sensitive content==== | ====Sensitive content==== | ||
The sensitive content settings let you hide or reveal all media or all media marked as sensitive by the poster.<br> | |||

This feature is enabled by default. Disabling it may result in your home timeline showing the same post multiple times in a row if many people boosted it. | |||
====Posting defaults==== | ====Posting defaults==== | ||
Here you can change the default privacy setting for your toots, what language your toots are written in (if you only post in one language) whether all your media is by default marked as sensitive (e.g. if you post a lot of nudes) and whether to disclose what application you are using in your posts. The last option will not do anything if you are just using Mastodon in the browser. | |||
====Filter languages==== | ====Filter languages==== | ||
Here you can filter out toots in languages you don't understand. Select the languages you do understand and leave the other boxes unticked. | |||
