#fediquestion — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone know why the #Mastodon #RSS user and tag feeds don't include the attached post media? Maybe there is a way to turn that on?

Obviously only for public posts.

#FediQuestion #fediquestions

Schon ein paar Tage länger dabei, aber die Frage geht bestimmt noch als #neuhier durch:

Nutze mein Profil um mich zur Schriftstellerei, Self Publishing und Ähnlichem auszutauschen, was auch echt Spaß macht.

Nun würde ich auch gerne mehr zu meiner zweiten Leidenschaft dem Modellbau tröten. Eine Trennung der Themen wäre wohl sinnvoll, oder?

Wie handhabt ihr sowas? Zweiter Account? Doch nur über Hashtags? Was wäre wohl "best practice", bzw. üblich?

Freue mich über Tipps!

Pregunta al fedi:

¿Puede tu jefe obligarte a endender la cámara de tu laptop para verte el careto cuando estais en un meeting 1-1?

No encuentro una normativa muy clara al respecto.

Wenn ich eine Art geschlossene Gesprächsgruppe im #Fediverse einrichten wollte, um mit Leuten mit vergleichbaren Themen in einem einigermaßen sicheren und geschlossenen Raum reden zu können, welcher Fediversedienst würde sich dafür eigenen?

Salut Mastodon,

Je passe enfin de wordpress à neocities, est-ce que vous avez des recommandations pour des services d'hébergement d'images qui soit pas trop dégueu ?

Hi Fediusers~

Anyone around knows about Zerion (@zerionchat)?
https://zerion.chat

Chat/IM application via Tor.

I've just recently been pointed to it. On a first, admittedly shallow look, it really looks pretty good.
… I'd say a little too good, tbh; even if it could be just paranoia speaking.

I'm pretty ok with giving it some chance (… and looking deeper), but since that's going to take me a good while, if anyone's actually used it or knows it better — comments are very much appreciated, whether experiences, points to check first, or whatevers. ^^

ok can someone explain to me how being able to see

"This post is hidden because you've blocked [insert.domain.here]/@[user], show anyway"

is considered "functional and nuanced reply controls" (as someone on fedi described it)

when users I've blocked can't even see my posts or interact with me

AND

I can't even see the posts of, or interact with, users who've blocked me

in the first place?

like

why is the "show anyway" option even necessary?

I feel like it just places "user autonomy" ideals over actual safety and respect

is there a way to hide all boosts on one list (my precious irl ppl list) but not on another (the gardenhose) when an account is on both lists?

#FediQuestion #feditip

Is there a way to keep from seeing boosts of posts that were already on my timeline from showing up as new posts?

Like a story that was posted yesterday and I already saw yesterday, someone else I'm following boosts it and the same post pops back to the top of my timeline. And then if someone else boosts it another day later, it shows up again. There is a "group boosts" setting, but I think that only applies to multiple boosts of the same post close together, maybe only consecutively.

Data visualisation help much appreciated :neocat_reach:

I'm sick of presenting shitty Excel data visualisations as much as I love what eg. D3.js can do. There's some fancy stuff out there but they all require coding to some extent to run or be embedded … all of which proved being beyond me. I need a solution that can interpret simple structured .csv (or .txt or smth similar simple), and outputs vector/bitmap files.

My aim is to create 2D data visualisations (donut chart for data set A, vertical bar chart for data set B). Both data sets are simple tables:
A
NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.)

B
NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.) or VALUE (hh:mm:ss)

Names are people's names and may run a bit long.

Yes, I do run some CLI stuff regularly but I can't code.
No, I don't want to use AI.
No, I don't want to register for a paid subscription to a capitalist platform.

Help and boosts appreciated!

Is there a way to query or plot over time how much activity there is on my home feed?

Are self-reposts a common thing on Mastodon like they are on Bluesky? Or are they not appreciated as much?

Salut, peuple de gauche ! 😝

Qu'est-ce que vous connaissez comme journaux pour enfants, genre Mon Quotidien / Mon Petit Quotidien ?
En papier et/ou numérique.

Si vous avez des suggestions de magazines divers, je prends aussi. J'avais entendu parlé de Tchika mais il ne semble plus être sorti de numéro depuis un certain temps.

What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

#American peeps - How well do you track with your registered political party? #PleaseBoost
For the purposes below, identifying as something OTHER than what you are registered as includes... for example... a registered Democrat being a Democratic Socialist for example. Or a registered Republican being a Libertarian for example. Or a Green, Socialist, Communist, etc. Basically anything OTHER than Democrat (for registered Democrats) or Republican (for registered Republicans).

Hello ^__^

I thought if anyone knows this it would be you:

Is there a way / link where I show someone my Mastodon profile with only my posts (not including toots I boosted?)

Thanks for all your good work!

Is there a Mastodon (or equivalent ActivityPub microblog software) instance that blocks both Threads and Bluesky?

Bonus points if it’s a long-standing and stable instance that would be expected to be around for a long time.

I am using a 2012 MacBook*** Pro OS 10.14.6 - it is full of important and also (secret) private information.

Is it safe to use WebEx for an online meeting?

And if is so important to be hydrated how they weren't in a state of constant dehydration?

#fediTips I a mail, can I link someone to, lets say @ele film on #peertube, explaining the #fediverse - and ensure that subtitles is turned on and set to Danish.

All right, Fedi-mavens:
Do fibre-optic internet speeds slow down on holiday weekends from heavy use like they used to do in the cable and DSL days?
Or can we relegate that inconvenience to the past?

Dear #mastodon power-users: Is there a way in the "advanced web interface" to hide those "hide" and "alt" buttons? Or just to move them *away* from the image? I find it a really poor design choice this already tiny image content by active buttons.

#FediQuestion #MastodonQuestion

Question to the #fediverse: what can be used as a replacement to Facebook groups? A Mastodon instance? Something else?
The only reason i still use fb is because of the many support groups that are active there.
Some have migrated to Discord but i don't like it as it doesn't have *indented* threaded replies like fb or Masto have, and thus making it hard to follow conversations.
#FediHelp #FediQuestion

Anyone else seeing a rise in new followers with no bio, no avatar, no images and no posts? A couple of my new followers appear to only follow me, just one account - mine. Is this a #bot invasion? Should I be automatically blocking these types of accounts? I’d appreciate your opinions on the matter, so any decisions I make are thoughtful and studied. #Fediverse #FediQuestion

Anybody know what "firefish.social" is? Looks like I have an account on there, but I don't remember signing up. Domain appears to be a Korean-language blog about sports betting. WTF? #Fediverse #FediProblems #FediQuestion https://mastodon.social/@7sleepersmusi[email protected]

Cooking question for #FediCooks :

Has anyone ever by accident or intentionally left out bay leaves when cooking baked beans? If so, did you notice the difference?

I have so far left out
1. Tomato paste (by accident, it was noticeably absent)
2. Apple cider vinegar (by accident, it was also noticeably absent)
3. Jalapeno pepper (obviously by accident and also obviously could tell the difference)
4. Onion (last time, also by accident and definitely was not as good).
5. Beans. (Just kidding)

But the bay leaves? So far never forgot to add them.

Anyone?

I was just wondering again:

What does setting the location on #Pixelfed do?*

It's not tagging the image with the location (or does it?) so it doesn't seem to turn up in searches for the tag? And if you search for a town in Pixelfed you only get accounts with that name and tags containing it.

*Is it like the (very prominent) boost button that doesn't seem do anything if you're only on Pixelfed?

#fediQuestion il m'arrive souvent d'avoir des comptes qui veulent s'abonner à moi qui ont des MILLIERS d'abonnements, perso ça m'intéresse pas de me faire suivre par ce genre de personne donc je réponds non. Mais souvent, ces personnes redemandent le lendemain, encore le surlendemain et les semaines suivantes ce qui fait que je fini par les bloquer (!)

Il existe un moyen de refuser à quelqu'un de s'abonner à mon compte définitivement ? Je veux dire à part bloquer leur compte ?

a friend of mine would like to join the fedi. he'd like to post drawing he does and prefers an "imageboard" UI, so i advised him to go to a pixelfed instance.

does anyone know a good pixelfed instance for him (or an instance of another software with a similar UI)?

Question for my fellow RSS nerds; Are there any platforms (either clients or servers / providers or consumers) that implement and use the RSScloud API system for a push rather than pull notification setup?

https://www.rssboard.org/rsscloud-interface

Seems like a neat way to avoid having feed readers spam your server looking for updates ( see https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/08/02/fs/ ). Basic RSS is brilliant, but been looking a the additional optional features lately.
