Next to the “compose” button at the top left is the last button, with a magnifying glass icon – and it’s a really useful one! This allows you to see exactly what your post will look like, so you can be sure you’re happy with it before you actually post it. This can really help with correcting errors, and especially with text formatting. More on this below.

Place a # (hash) symbol in front of a word and it becomes a #tag. What’s the use of this? Well, #tags are a great way of finding content that interests you, and of bringing content to the attention of people who are likely to be interested in it. You can search for tags by typing them in the search field in the header. You can also follow tags, so that any posts containing those tags appear in your stream – in fact, if you filled out the “Describe yourself in 5 words” part of your profile page, you’re already following those tags!

Plasser et #-symbol («hash») foran et ord og det blir til en #tag. Hva poenget er med dette? Vel, #tag-er er en super metode for å finne innhold som interesserer deg, og for å gjøre folk oppmerksom på innhold, som antagelig vil være interessert i det. Du kan søke etter tag-er ved å taste de inn i søkefeltet i overskriftslinjen. Du kan også følge tag-er, sånn at alle poster som inneholder de tag-ene dukker opp i stream-en din – faktisk, hvis du har fylt ut «Deg: i 5 #tagger»-delen av profilsiden din, følger du allerede de tag-ene! -
Say you like cooking and you post a message with “#cooking” in it. Anyone who follows the #cooking tag will now see your post appear in their streams. Of course for any follower of #cooking to see your post, you’ll have had to make it a public post; if you made it only to one or more aspects, only people in those aspects will be able to read it. You can also search for “#cooking” in the search bar, and you’ll be presented with a list of all posts tagged with “#cooking.” That includes your own posts, posts by friends and public posts by other diasporans. You can see how this can be a fantastic tool for finding and sharing content with people who share your interests.

Si for eksempel at du like matlaging og at du poster en melding med #matlaging i. Enhver som følger tag-en #matlaging vil nå se posten din dukke opp i stream-en sin. For at enhver som følger #matlaging skal kunne se posten din, må du naturligvis ha gjort den til en offentlig post; hvis du postet den til bare ett eller flere aspekter, vil bare personer i de aspektene kunne lese den. Du kan også søke etter #matlaging i søkefeltet, og du vil bli presentert for en liste over alle poster tag-et med «#matlaging». Det inkluderer dine egne poster, poster av venner og offentlige poster av brukere av diaspora*. Du kan se for deg hvordan dette kan være et fantastisk verktøy for å finne og dele innhold med mennesker som deler dine interesser. -
If your post might potentially cause offence or get someone into trouble for viewing it at work, please add the <span class="click">#nsfw</span> (“not safe for work”) tag so that it will be hidden on people’s screens unless they choose to view it. We’ll cover this in %{part_link}.

Did you know you can grab someone’s attention by “mentioning” them? Simply type a @ symbol followed by the name of one of your contacts. As you start typing their name (their screen name, not their user name) it will automatically be completed by diaspora*. Hit enter or click the name in the auto-completer and you’ll notice that it has changed to their full name, and the @ symbol has disappeared. Don’t worry, though; this will become an @mention once you have posted the message. The person you are mentioning will receive a notification of the mention on their notification page, and by email if they have asked to receive email notification of mentions.

Visste du at du kan skaffe deg oppmerksomhet hos noen ved å «nevne» de? Helt enkelt tast inn et @-symbol etterfulgt av navnet til en av dine kontakter. Etterhvert som du taster inn navnet deres (skjermnavnet deres, ikke brukernavnet deres) vil diaspora* fullføre det automatisk. Trykk på enter-tasten eller klikk på navnet i auto-fullføreren og du vil se at det har blitt endret til deres fulle navn, og @-symbolet har forsvunnet. Men det er ikke noe å bekymre seg for, dette vil bli en @nevning når du har fått postet meldingen. Personen du nevner vil motta en beskjed om nevningen på sin beskjedside, og via epost hvis de har bedt om å motta epostbeskjeder om nevninger. -
You can @mention people in both posts and comments. Likewise other people can @mention you, and you’ll receive a notification in the header bar (and by email if you have set that option).

Note that you can only @mention people you are sharing with.
