  6. Am I the only #Polymaths social user whose notifications feed has just gone blank, I only have one in there.

  7. @px64

    Well, I'm obviously a big fan of this group of crazies here on #polymaths, administered by @amin!

    Also a big fan of the folks at bsd.cafe, administered by the very wise and very kind @stefano

    Other than that, just find interesting people by looking at hashtags! ;)

    Also, it's not possible to not find interesting interactions by just looking at what I'm up to day-by-day on #Fedi.

    I'm not sure if that's a humblebrag or an apology. 😂

  8. Hey #GtS peeps / #Polymaths,

    How do you edit your filters without using a mobile client? :E

    Solution: Enafore has it: https://polymaths.social/@kabel42/statuses/01KFEQ16Y7231TFR5K4ZQZ9ZVT
    Correction: Enafore's UI for filters is kinda b0rken. Phanpy works, though! ;)

  9. Innovators throughout the ages have found ways to apply knowledge in one area of expertise to another domain to create breakthroughs. This series makes a strong case for "reasoning by analogy". See if this shift in perspective unlocks your inner genius. #Polymaths #Genius #Innovation #Musk

    In fairness to the #Polymaths community, our federated feed is actually pretty sane, but it was definitely more political.

    The federated feed on a BIG instance like Pixelfed.social?

    Not. Safe. For. Existence. 😂

  11. Wow the #Polymaths federated feed is actually not horrifying.

    Its almost as if this instance is full of reasonably well-adjusted people.

    What a strange phenomenon! 😄

  12. @joel @amin @samuel @diego

    I'd be curious to know what percentage of #Polymaths have real pictures of themselves as avatars. I'm sure it's very low. XD

  13. Welcome all the new people here at #Polymaths ! It's great to see all the new faces :)

  14. Scrolled the #polymaths local feed again a bit ago, and remembered why I’m here. So much varied and weird knowledge, articulated in ways that can be followed - it’s fantastic.

  15. Hello and good day #Fediverse and buddies over on #polymaths!

    I hope y’all are having a grand time today.

  16. Yo #Polymaths,

    Is there a way to follow bsky accounts on here?

    I promise to mainly use it to needle a friend of mine to join the fediverse. XD

  17. Something very strange is happening. I'm not automatically receiving any new posts from folks that I follow. The only way to get new posts is to refresh the browser page. Anyone else on the #polymaths instance seeing this or is just me?

    Amin's the glue, we're the flakes, and together, we make the [MDF] of nerdy insanity that IS #Polymaths!!! XD

  19. @corvus

    Dude, the dad jokes are just the fuse to light the powder keg of nerdiness that is #Polymaths! XD

  20. I love how a snarky back-and-forth thread spontaneously turned into a light-hearted Monty Python-quoting fest

    I love this community. XD

    Yes, please join #Polymaths so I can encourage you and more frequently confront you with your intrinsic value.

    I promise to be quite merciless.

    A dream. But mostly just vaporware. 😄

    P.S. It's an idea that some of us #polymaths had to create a new fediverse client (particularly for #GtS) for the terminal, likely in Go/#Issue9.

    @dusnm gave us the inspiration to write it in Go, then quietly left before anyone assigned him any real work. >:)

    (Just kidding, we all sat around, threw around some cool ideas, and then promptly did next to nothing. I think @sunarch did all the real organizational work; good on him)

  27. Hey all #polymaths / #hellthreadists,

    I've got a bash one-liner (should probably work in ksh and possibly zsh) for importing lists.csv into your polymaths account.

    It requires toot (can be had from your rolling release distro's repo, or pipx install toot), and for toot to be logged into your (not alpha) polymaths account.

    Export your lists.csv from polymaths alpha and run this in the same directory.

    Check the error messages carefully. Just FYI, it will create any list found in your lists.csv, so if you run it more than once, it'll try to re-create the same list and generate an error, but it's not catastrophic.

    It will also follow each account in the list, just in case, and it also converts @alpha.polymaths.social accounts to @polymaths.social, so if the account hasn't been created yet, or has a different name (*COUGH* @joel), you'll have to fix that manually.

    It's far from foolproof, and not even in the same parsec as FAST, but hey, it's something. XD

    IFS=$'\n'; for list in $(grep , lists.csv |cut -f1 -d, |sort -u); do echo "::: ::: -> $list"; toot lists create $list; for user in $(grep "^$list," lists.csv |cut -f2 -d, |sed 's/alpha\.\(polymaths\.social\)/\1/'); do echo "::: $user -> $list"; toot follow $user; toot lists add $list $user; done; done
    

    Let me know if it works for you.

  28. Hey @mirabilos just FYI,

    @amin and several of us #Polymaths are trying to get our heads together and come up with an idea for a new fediverse/GoToSocial TUI client.

    One of the ideas is to fork @tut which seems unmaintained (by about 2 years now), but I know you're not into #Issue9.

    If you have any ideas, I'm sure the guys would love to hear them. I don't know if you're on Signal, but I can pass it on if you feel like replying with a public toot.
