  1. Looking for a new instance since it seems mas.to can't handle my humour. Need: simple/minimal rules that don't pander to the humourless, long character limit. All sugggestions considered.

  6. @fediverse @rimu @Snoopy @Jerry #piefed is fairly new as a social media platform. There was no piefed instance before COVID if I'm not mistaken.

    There ought to be more #instances of #piefed in order to reach newer users. And you might be aware that #piefed would find huge number of users in geographical areas like #china and #southAsia . What are your thoughts on this ??

    Moreover, the #fediverse has its own neat rules when it comes to federating servers. Please share your thoughts on this each of you.

  7. If you have been on Mastodon for more than a few months and plan on sticking around I suggest you move off of mastodon.social or mastodon.world if you haven’t already. Your experience will most likely be more stable and you’ll be able to explore and search federated feed.

    If you have an instance and are welcoming people I’d ask you comment on and boost this toot!

    Plus it’s what all the cool kids are doing ..

  8. Just to let folks know.
    If you are considering switching instances, ours is a “closed” instance mainly as a way to avoid the spam/bot storms.
    If you live in or have a family connection to British Columbia, you are welcome! ❤️

  9. 🌸 ¡Hola ~ Bonjour ~ Hej hej ~ everybody! 🐸

    Just learned about 🌈 the #Fediverse ✨ & :mastodon: thanks to the super sympa @europeanspodcast 🎀 & we're still trying to find our way around here!!!

    The Fediverse: what a true game-changer!! 🙀 ✨ It's a little strange not to have heard about it until now! 👂

    After learning about #instances for hours ...Will this be the right instance for us yet?! Oh wait, this character limit is too short...!! 🧐 Yet another point to consider! :emoji_squint:

  10. 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.

  11. This is me asking for recommends for a second fedi instance to sort of get my writing out there more.

    Should be:

    - Okay w/ NSFW writing (I CW BC I'm not that kind of bish)

    - Okay w/ me using it mostly to share work (this acct will remain my main obv)

    - Not fash, not bigoted (obv)

    - Medium size?

    I am not like, super tied to Masto for this. I've used Sharkey and it was cool just not for my main. I did like Blahaj, they were nice.

    "Why not [technical thing that I'm not asking abt]?"

    Don't.

    "Just add ppl to ur instance."

    Could. Might. But we're small and group vibe, if ppl want to invite new speakeasers that is fine. But I would not for my own bene.

    "Try Bluesky / Tumblr / AO3 / Other Not Fedi"

    Hn. In order: No, fk Matt, not rly meant for OC, maybe but prob not.

    "Show ur magnificent assets!"

    Pfft they're B class, dummy. And nope.

  12. Is there a Mastodon instance for history/ science communication with a high character limit per post?
    I can't seem to find a good instance search page with filters for content and maximum character length per toot.

  13. Amazing to see the instance grow, Thank you all for joining us on here so far.

    I'm glad to say we are connected to 1k other instances. With this we have more people joining us and glad to see what people are publicly posting, little projects, thoughts and ideas.

    Keep up the amazing work and love you all.

  15. Dear brilliant folks of the Don, I have a very leery of social media friend who is intrigued by what I've been telling him of Mastodon and is looking for an instance to join.

    I am trying to get him here but he wants an instance for someone who is an:

    "Artist, educator, gardener, father, the builders who love breakfast."

    Know of any good fits? #mastodon #instances

  17. @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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

    #Zionism is #barbarism. End ' #Israel ' now‼️ @palestine

    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.

    I'm not angry! 😌

    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

    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

  24. @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

  25. @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

  26. @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.

  27. @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
    misskey-hub.net/en/

  28. @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?

  29. @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.

  30. 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 ?

  31. 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)

  32. 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 😁
