#Octothorpe

#nytimesgames it's an #octothorpe, not a "hashtag"

@pj I think we should take the opportunity to reclaim the #octothorpe moniker

We now have an official dev blog on the docs site. First entry is a roundup of all the things we've added in our first proper release. That includes #webrings, a powerful #api, multi-site rss feeds, and more. Check it out at https://docs.octothorp.es/blog/point-oh-five/ And, using OP, we created a webring to group all the sites involved in development. You can follow a single RSS feed for post from any of those sites using #octothorpe-news to get updates, wherever they come from. Follow here: https://octothorp.es/get/everything/in-webring/rss/?s=https://docs.octothorp.es/dev-webring&o=octothorpe-news

If you #octothorpe is it recursive? #ocotothorpe

Not enough people know what an #octothorpe is.

Just came across an octothorpe in the wild.

> "They were so aggressive in their text!"

< "Why, what'd they do?"

> "They used an ellipsis!"

Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe. [1]

[1] Why yes, Firefox spellchecker, when I typed "octothorpe" I clearly really meant to type "#clotheshorse".

@tylrfishr Stoked to see what you're doing with Sill. We are also workin hard to, like, keep links and browsing part of using the internet. Every #octothorpe is also an #RSS feed, so you can get unified feeds from pages from infinite independent sites, like our fav, #weirdweboctober https://octothorp.es/~/weirdweboctober No AP / AT integration yet, but would love to chat sometime if you're interested.

This is actually a really nice idea:

Another night, another stream... Let's get this bear moving! #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDeveloper #BeingJoblessSucks #Octothorpe https://jddoes.stream

♯←This is a sharp sign
#←This is not

Instead of calling C# »see number sign« i think i will try »coctothorpe« – coc as one syllable.
(Turns out, the name #octothorpe is older than i thought.)

#c# #csharp #coctothorpe #sharp #♯

well now I know about ⌗viewdatasquare too

not yet impressed with explanation of #octothorpe

yeah yeah it has eight limbs

wake at 0140H for no good reason

gives up trying to sleep at 0310, once brain gets to "but what's the -thorpe suffix in #octothorpe its limbs?"

@johncoxon I commend this idea for #octothorpe - or maybe not...

I prefer 🐙 to #octothorpe!

5 months into self-hosting my single-user instance, and I have zero complaints. The cost comes up to $6usd/mo. (~$8 cad, atm), and there’s headroom to spare. I’m running Akkoma on Fedora (which I thought was 38 but is actually 37 so I guess I should probably update it).

This is on a Vultr “Cloud Compute” server, with the “AMD High Performance” option (EPYC CPU + NVMe storage) on the lowest tier: 1 vCPU, 1GB memory, and 25GB storage. As an irritable person who hates waiting for things to load, it’s performed beautifully.

I can’t comment on Mastodon. While I’m told it’s a bit of a resource hog, especially as it scales, it might be perfectly fine for a single user instance, although when I was first considering self-hosting, I was advised that I’d be better off spending $15 or $20 minimum on a more capable server for Mastodon. I can’t refute or confirm that statement, so use your own judgement, but I don’t really like the way the Mastodon project is run, and I like being able to use Markdown, even if barely anybody will see it.

I have joined a dynamic new social networking site, forum . octothorpe . site

It's so new that I added the first forum discussion type: your favorite name for the # symbol.

#One #day i will #learn how #to #use #hashtags correctly #here.

(or at least #remember to #include them #in my #posts.)

#octothorpe #£ #sha1

Oh- it seems you can’t search for arbitrary text strings. (Yet?) Only hashtags. Ok then- hello #Publicis!
