@pixelfed was mentioned in a Daily Show skit. Hopefully we can all take a joke, but a mention of a fediverse platform on a popular syndicated show is something!

An interesting thing is happening on TikTok. Creators are pointing people to their websites and newsletters as ways to follow them as it become more likely the ban will happen. NOT directly to Instagram or YouTube.

Sure, they recommend following on those other platforms, but over and over again, they say the BEST way to keep in contact is through their own personal domain.

I like it.

Got my tinkering mastodon instance up to date with version 4.3.3, finally. I had customized my instance with Tangerine and Mastodon Bird style options, and it meant altering my upgrade scripts.

It's probably laughable to most of you, but this was scary! lol. I broke my instance a few times before getting it working. Now I have a documented process moving forward...I hope. Thank goodness for Digital Ocean droplets, it was easy to restore and try again...over and over.

@Gargron I refuse to believe that dapper little gentle person could do anything detrimental. You must be mistaken.

Today I learned Tumblr limits you to 250 posts per day, or 500 if you pay extra. Does Mastodon or any fediverse platform have similar?

U.S. healthcare sucks.
I spent a good chunk of my vacation attempting to hoard medications. Pleading with nurses to just gimme one more refill of the good stuff before my insurance changes, because I have no idea if it will be covered going forward.

@_elena You might want to check our CherryPick.

IceShrimp.NET is definitely under active development. The backend is excellent, and if you want to use a third party front end like Phanpy or Akkoma FE it’s great! The UI is a work in progress.

Really nice touch for alt text on Phanpy. As your mouse hovers over an image, the corresponding alt text is highlighted below.

It’s a difficult time for some as we head into the holidays. Know you’re not alone, and use the #JoinIn hashtag to find others needing a supportive community. I’ll be here!

So much buzz about Bluesky's Starter Kits and trying to emulate the same on Mastodon. There's a myriad of valid reasons the BS version isn't acceptable here.

I still believe Mastodon lists that allow you to exclude the associated accounts from your main timelines is a better option. Just needs a management app for a searchable public list, import, moderation and consent.

I don't see why I would throw thousands of randos into my finely curated timeline without any kind of vetting.

On Mastodon, you never see all replies, especially if you host a small instance.

GoToSocial and IceShrimp.NET do a fetch all replies when you open the detail of a post.

This feature may finally be on its way to Mastodon!

Hoping it gets a UI indicator showing the reply retrieval progress. Right now, that is lacking in other software, you have to refresh the screen after a bit of time has passed and then see them, not ideal.

@tchambers @stefan Consent and moderation have been a recent discussion around a fediverse version of this concept. A balance of simplified creation and comprehensive consent management are a must for acceptance in the fediverse. Not quite as simple to build as Bluesky's version!

@andycarolan Well I’ll be. Maybe there’s hope for this world after all. 🥹

Yay! Another music platform adding support for the fediverse. 🎶🎶

This is surprising. I heard the Tim Berners-Lee had created a fediverse account, guess we know why now!
