#instances — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #instances, aggregated by home.social.

  1. In not so secret news, I'm working on a #fediverse #search #index service that pulls in posts from all known #instances of #content that is public across thousands of servers. I'll let you know when it goes live.

  2. Since the geekdom instance is closing down I'm looking for tips on where to migrate to.
    So, if you know of a friendly, geeky instance with some predeliction towards reading and writing, let me know, I'd appreciate it 😁

  3. @zvavybir If you switch #instances you would lose every contact on an instance blocked on the new server, correct?

    So for example, if I moved the #Madeindex project to a server that has defederated Mastodon.social, every contact from mastodon.social would be gone, right?

  4. @zvavybir
    You raise an important issue with the #decentral / #federation idea of the #fediverse.

    The concentration of power might become an increasing issue looking into the future. If, e.g., #Mastodon gGmbH decided to threaten blocking #instances unless they remove certain users, content...

    Thinking about switching there are concerns of losing: SEO-wise, reach, contacts/followers, character & poll limit (😜)...

    PS
    #Misskey seems to have a "fairer" signup process

  5. If you're not with the #resistance, you're neither with #Palestine nor with #Lebanon.

    If your #Fediverse #instance is not with us, then call them out for it and move.

    In any case, #boycott everything connected to #Gargron ", " #stux ", " #tchambers " and their likes and strictly avoid all #instances under the book burning regime of the European Union and #Germany in particular!

    #Liberation can't tolerate #genocide and liberation does not compromise.

    AI modelling? The big/bug thing to go wong. Are we gonna plant trees now?

    I personally prefer trees to people. They reach for the grounding/skies and nurture our welfare.

    I likes them videos. I need videos of hackers in the final frenzy of saving the planet, cyber verse and their tin foil beanies on beam me up NSA sponsored corporate ferenghi mode. I won't laff they might have super powers like hitting buttons, installing mall wear or speaking in (translated) tongues …

    Lot of rain and wet trees where I am, woodpeckers, I hope are about but unheard. New variety of woodpecker for constant acid rain, the silent woodpecker … Is acid rain, with high levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to dissolve, still a thing?

    Anyways … thanks for pic

  12. Dear friends of the unmentionable,
    As we may know, never give away too much if your are spooky. Fortunately I prefer ‘Free as in Free
    #wer-lobster’

    I have finally decided on how I will have a
    #mastodon server to start with. I am too stupid to start with #firedfish! Matrix or some sort of dank, dark, Web building, #spiderdom that I know nothing about …
    I will be using LINUX (come all ye
    #penguins and rejoyce)
    not Widow, BEOS, FreeDos,
    #Reactos, yAPple etc.

  13. @mairin It's #unfortunate, and I hope you do whatever lets you use the #language(s) of your choice freely.

    To give them the benefit of the doubt, many #instances have English-only (or other single-language-only) #rules because they fear #legal #liability because of their inability to effectively #moderate or respond to complaints about #content posted in a language they cannot understand.

  14. Lack of #commitment to #decommissioning a certain group of #instances. So of course it became critical that there weren’t enough of those instances ready to go in the cloud. And their #token #expired so we had to find a better one. And they took their sweet time to actually consume the work we delegated to them.

  15. Oh, no. masthead.social (the home of @podquiz and @starringthecomputer ) seems to have gone away! 😞

    Anyone have any idea if it's going to return, or should I cut my losses?

    Another great feature in apps like #Megalodon and #Fedilabs is the ability to hide replies in timelines.

    This promotes the feature of #threads. Because you only see the original top post and no posts out of context. So if you see a post and you are interested in the content and replies, you can click on it and go down the tree of comments. This is way better on #Mastodon than #Twitter.

    I really like the idea of threads here on Mastodon. It allows for an idea based conversation, where every post is a single topic but is tied together to a larger conversation by the top post.

    Similar to these 4 posts I've made now.

    #timelines #boost #boosts #favorite #favorites #Mastodon #Twitter #retweets #Likes #Algorithm #Tweets #fediverse #instances #favourites

  17. @maxleibman

    The problem, however, with these #timelines that aren't governed by some algorithm, is that you can easily see the same post over and over.

    I follow a few accounts that are interconnected with each other. We all interact with the same content. So when they all #boost a post, I see the original and 5 #boosts.

    This is, however, fixed with clients, allowing me to hide boosts from my timelines. Which isn't the best solution. We should rather be allowed to hide boosts of accounts we already follow because I've already seen that post or eventually will in my timeline.

    #favorite #boosts #favorites #Mastodon #Twitter #retweets #Likes #Algorithm #Tweets #fediverse #instances #favourites

  18. @maxleibman

    I've actually thought about it a lot. I want to see the posts that people that I follow #favorite. I want to see what they are up to and doing.

    But if we allow this, it goes against the principle that #boosts are for you and #favorites for the original poster.

    If the people that I follow want me to see something, they would reply to a post or boost it.

    With #Mastodon not sorting our timelines by favorite count and number of boosts, I actually see all of the posts of people I follow and content doesn't get lost, and I love it.

    #Twitter #retweets #Likes #Algorithm #Tweets #Mastodon #favorites #boosts #fediverse #instances #favourites

  19. @maxleibman

    #Twitter, on the other hand, has a problem with #retweets and #likes. People don't use them correctly and often use both.

    This paired with the #algorithm leads to a few #tweets being spammed across the entire site and other posts getting lost in the ocean of tweets.

    My experience on Twitter over 10 years had far less interaction than my 3 months on #Mastodon.

    On Twitter, my posts just disolved into nothing, where I now get many #favorites and #boosts on all my posts.

    I also get replies and interaction here because people actually see my content and aren't obsessed with one or two celebrity accounts.

    #Mastodon #boosts #fediverse #instances #favourites #favorites

  20. @TheJewberwocky One thing about #mastodon is that you need to use #hashtags to get into a certain #topic.

    I agree with you that the problem is that they can easily be #hijacked and also become irrelevant. This post will be listed with any posts involving #hijacks or #news.

    One way to join #communities relevant to your interests is to join #instances dedicated to your interests. I joined a #technology #instance, and I am looking for something relevant to #3dprinting because it is the main topic that I publicly discuss on #socialmedia.

    For more specific and isolated #topics and #communities, I use #reddit.

    So I would recommend researching for relevant groups discussing something like #chronicpain and joining their #instances, or maybe just join a #subreddit. Which might not be the answer you are looking for, but #reddit is great for specific and longer posts regarding such topics.

  21. #StuffAlcea
    I think #Mastodon #instances are 200% more sane than

    #Misskey / #Calckey / #Akkoma / #Pleroma instances

    Ppl on there often think #everything is a #joke - and #emoji bring #worldpeace

    Gimme Masto.
    Much more #efficient ..

  22. Nice question @Squirrel ..
    The web experience is almost #flawless for me, even better than with Tusky!
    Just, I find a bit #irritating when I open the #emoji tab and also the keyboard opens.. both occupy half screen and overlap each other.. So have to close the keyboard and then choose an emoji, but it also hang everything a bit..
    For the rest, I would highly suggest it! (I am in the #qoto instance, which is a modded one, might be different with normal #instances)

  23. #Mastodon please do your thing to break #server boundaries and let all the #instances know, a fully funded #PhD project at #Manchester #University is on #offer for a suitable candidate.

    The project will introduce #sebum collection that has never been demonstrated on #smart #sensor patches and will act as a showcase for the beyond-state-of-the-art sensing using #wearable sensors. #Deadline 9th #December. #academia #academic #research #BBSRC #DTP #UoM

    Is the server slow? #ServerDown?

    Keep calm and carry on ☕

    Some large #instances have problems with long response time / #lagging due to the huge rush of new users recently.

    But:
    👍 We know that it's just a temporary technical issue that has a technical solution in increasing capacities.

    👍 The possibilities and philosophy of #Mastodon and #Fediverse are worth the temporary limitation of comfort!

    👍 New users can still #register on various other general instances.

  26. Page from #mastodon #instance #writingexchange (writing.exchange) #monitoring #access to account.
    Questions:
    - How do they know from what device the user is logging in?
    - How do they know that the user hasn't logged in "for a while"?
    - Are they #monitoring the users' #devices and #logins?
    Without acknowledging the user?
    - Is this #commonpractice on #mastodon #instances ?
