Als Admin eines Mastodon-Server kann man "Ankündigungen" an die User/Konten seines Server senden. Um z.B. über Downtimes oder Änderungen zu informieren.
Das klappt auch, sofern die User das Webfrontend des Mastodon nutzen. Dort erscheint oben rechts ein Hinweis, der gut zu erkennen ist. Klickt man drauf, erscheint dder Text der Ankündigung.

Apps wie Fedilab oder Tusky informieren die User leider nicht.
Man muss es selbst erahnen und dann aktiv nachschauen. 🤔😐

English:

As an admin of a Mastodon server, you can send "announcements" to your server's users/accounts. For example, to inform them about downtimes or changes.
This also works if the users use the Mastodon web front end. A clearly visible notice appears in the top right corner. Clicking on it displays the text of the announcement.

Unfortunately, apps like Fedilab or Tusky don't inform users.
You have to guess for yourself and then actively look for it. 🤔😐

@isAutonomous
Announcements are displayed in the main menu. There is a bubble counter for unread announcements.

@apps Who opens the main menu without a specific reason?
For daily needs, everything is on the main page. But there is no visible hint of the announcement.

@apps jepp, that's what @isAutonomous said.

@isAutonomous @apps @Tusky Yes, that is quite annoying. But Pachli, a Tusky fork has this.

@isAutonomous Check Out of you see it in Tusky as well es Pachli is a fork but with improvements.
On the picture you see it. Unfortunately still no notification, but at least you get the announcemens.

@geco_de
Yes, I know that the Announcement is on the menu of Tusky, visible when scrolled down. But most people don't check that on a daily or weekly basis.
So, for an Server-Admin it is difficult to reach all the users of a server.

@isAutonomous I agree, that the apps should give you a notification in case of any news posted on the announcements channel. @apps @Tusky

@geco_de
We will work on that to make new announcements more visible.
