Have Super Fantabulous Day 🥰

lesson learned today ...

I have patiently awaited the arrival of my "vote by mail ballot" ...

Tomorrow is Florida's primary ...

According to the supervisor of elections website, the ballot was mailed on 17 July ...

While looking up the phone number to call the office earlier today, I remembered an email received back in July ...

At the time, I immediately dismissed it as a click bait fishing trap to get me to press the link within ... after all, I've been voting by mail in every election (local, state, and federal) since 2020 ... and the county had never emailed me before...

I searched past emails and found it ...

Turns out Florida now emails the ballot to you, instead of snail mailing it ...

🤯😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Imagine all the voters who dismissed and/or ignored it just like I did!

Grrrrrrr ... this feels VERY intentional ....

suddenly vote by mail means you must have the ability to download your ballot online, print it ❗️ and mail it in with your own envelope .... in time for it to be received no later than 7 pm the day of the vote!

Tomorrow will be a busy day, printing it from work then rushing downtown to get it to the supervisor of elections office in time!

I feel so stupid for ignoring that email ... and have to believe I won't be the only one ... how many will never figure this out? Especially come November (not that Florida will be of any consequence, but still!) 🤨😡😠🤬

she's a BIG one, this Debby!

🙏 Help! Any Pixelfed users out there with technical knowledge?

I am tech dumb. Seriously. 🫣

I tried downloading the new test version of the Pixelfed App 👇

see:
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112789889158603638

And the version replaced the one I was using. Old version was pink Pixelfed logo. New version is black Pixelfed logo.

But the version downloaded looks nothing like the screenshot provided showing some of the updates 🫤

I "think" what I have is version 1.0.0.49 🤷♂️ (see attachment below).

I can't find the notifications from the provided update 😕

All I have is a heart (lists the "like" notifications) and the email icon (lists the messages/DMs)
See attachment below

Did I install the wrong thing? The link took me to Google play store and this screen (see below) which is the app installed

What can I do to download the correct version?
(In detail as if instructing a 5 year old, cause I am not bright when it comes to tech, please) 🙏

I still have a home screen link/icon for pixelfed.social via the web ui ... so I'm still able to do anything needed, but I'm hopeful to also use the correct app 🙏

🫂🫂🫂🤗🤗🤗

Have a Super Duper Day Y'all

Back to the pool for me 🏊♂️

Be kind to one another 🙏

#Pixelfed #Admins #AskAdmins

Is the "counter" for setting limits on how many likes/favorites/hearts can be used at the Admin level?

Is this something each instance can set on their own? Or is this part of the main pixelfed code?

I ask because after 2 hours use today, I am already out of likes ... and must wait till the time limit passes.

As an active daily user, this is increasingly an issue. Is another instance or hosting my own instance a solution?
