FAQ

Why does ProToots need permission for all websites?

The addon needs to determine whether or not the site you are currently browsing is a Mastodon server. For that to work, it requires access to all sites. Otherwise, each existing Mastodon server would have to be explicitly added.

Why can't i see any ProPlates?

It is likely your instance is not supported. This is because forks of Mastodon all work slightly differently and we cannot account for every version out there. If ProToots isn't working on your instance please tell your admins to contact us here on Github.

ProPlates don't have a background/low contrast on my instance.

Mastodon does not provide set variables for element colors, so we have to adjust the plate styling to each theme. If they're not displaying correctly please tell your admins to follow these steps to style ProPlates

Somebody has added/changed pronouns, why is ProToots still showing no/their old pronouns?

In order to strain your instance less pronouns are cached for 24h, so it might take up to a day to see this change reflected.

When an author only provides their pronouns as a pronouns.page link we display that instead. In the future we'll be able to extract pronouns from the given link. (See #7)

How do I style ProPlates to correctly display on my themes?

You can set their background-color and color attribute for each theme. To do this simply add some CSS to your server. Here's how. See our default styles for reference.
