Hey, I’ve been wondering this. How come you can sign in with a #Pixelfed account using a Mastodon app, and not vice versa? Design choice on the Pixelfed app? Or is there a some technical reason?

It’s just the apps themselves deciding whether to support multiple #ActivityPub projects, is it?

Woahh ok. You can sign into @impressia ios app with your Masto or Gotosocial account. Beautiful photo view for your feeds!

Nice! Now the Android people need something like this.

My Xmas gift to you, Fedi, is a glamour shot of the worst looking cake in the world.

@priryo @ComicContext poor guy 😢

@daria Oh definitely, I’ll be trying everything I can! The kicker is having to get another random job though, so less than half the time needed to do the work

It’s a sort of a chicken and egg thing, crowdfunding… first some kind of marketing budget because not enough people know your stuff exists?

The PRS grant would have got a radio plugger (my manager is great at Irish radio but beyond that we need help).

Already feel I’m being super annoying with self promotion on Fedi 😂

I have to postpone tonight’s stream, sorry to anyone planning to come 💜

I have to get an flight back to Ireland today, family emergency.

@tobi
…aaaand that’s why allowlists exist

Sooo… I don’t have this month’s rent. Hesitantly asking for #mutualAid — if you have more than you need right now.

Looking for yet another minimum wage job, don’t have the 🥄 … halving the time I need for music, videos, finding new listeners, Fedi community stuff & SysAdmin.

I’m super frugal and can live on £300 extra per month.

You can listen again to the gorgeous radio show by @fadimat about self-hosting music with #faircamp:

Featuring a (DE language) interview with its dev @freebliss — and top notch music from myself and loads of other faircampers!

I tried to join the Rocket.chat a few times, but my phone won’t load it 🥲 That’s how I do all me chattin’… keep meaning to do it on the laptop

@gabek aw thanks! It doesn’t load at all on Firefox iOS (just the spinning loading icon), and on Vivaldi iOS the “Create Account” link just redirects back to the login page…

#Owncast music streamers!

On New Year's Day Parade, we were chatting how to find each other on the directory... Maybe using a tag, like this? https://directory.owncast.online/tags/bonk

Although I haven't YET submitted one of my many #bonkwave tracks to a comp, I like #bonk as a tag! What do yous think?

@ke7zum I think it could really work, if a whole group of us choose a tag! Then, whenever we feel like watching something, or we’re finished our stream and would like to “raid into” our friend’s channel, we could just use the directory?

Maybe one for music, one for games, one for coding streams? Those are the three categories I like to watch, anyway :)

@ety @gabek @ke7zum wahhh! I need to see this in action ✨🫡

@ety @ke7zum @gabek oh interesting! Well I guess if we all use the “group tag” idea we were discussing, that means we’re OK to be raided?

Also, I remember a late night convo on NYD about using “Glide” or something instead of “Raid” haha! Sounds friendlier 😆 But will people know what we mean?!

@lislegaard @ety @ke7zum @gabek yeah definitely, I think the promise of a side income is what keeps a lot of people on Twitch.

I had an idea a while ago for something that would parse commands like !cheer in the chat, so that people could pre-pay a little bit to the server’s Opencollective or something. And then you could see from the time the command was issued which streamer to apportion the “bits” to.

But I have no idea how to code that 😆

@twistylittlepassages I’m finding protonmail the closest experience to Gmail: nice phone apps, spam detection etc. Their free tier is working out fine, only limitation I’ve found is just one inbox/account on the phone app.

They have a thing now where you can double your free storage if you forward from your gmail, if that’s something you would be doing anyway

Are there any nerdy #singers on here? Recording vox now and find myself wanting to shoot the shit about cricoid slippage and false vocal cord relaxation techniques and that

Was looking for IRC channels about #singing but like… so far eleventy million channels about Linux (hooray!) and none about singing (boo!)

yayyy! it's the first stream from a spirit of gravity member that isn't me! http://stream.gravitons.org - Rashamon (IDM/techno vibes), live now

@dansup @pixelfed yayy! That’s not showing for me though. Maybe I’m on an old version somehow
