@ChrisWere not sure, that stuff is all hard-coded, but let me see if there's a command I can run or something. I see you've added more followers, that stuff can take a few days as I understand it.

@ChrisWere yikes! not sure I can do anything from my side to help, but keep me posted if you think there's anything I can do.

@ChrisWere ahhhh ok, phew. Everything going ok with the migration?

@multiverseofbadness I remember exactly two things from my CS course in comp, but they have stuck with me and served me well.

1. A computer is exactly as smart as the person telling it what to do.

2. A computer can make the same mistakes you can, but a million times faster.

@ChrisWere solid option, great people to work with, very friendly, knowledgable, and hosting us as well as many other Fedi services. And they're right here! @beasts

@ChrisWere "snip advisor"

At a minimum get the domain....

@ChrisWere @FediThing @ozoned and it's almost #DefaidodonDay !

@ChrisWere @alexisbushnell I have the exact same issue personally, and it was one of the motivating factors for starting this service up. Both to normalise and help create a bilingual space online, and to support code switching as and when appropriate.

@ChrisWere

Starting to play with the #Mastodon 4.3 CSS, adding a few minor tweaks here and there. Here's what I've got so far, comments and suggestions welcome.

Anyone else doing anything fun with styles?

@jaz@mastodon.iftas.org Thank you all for voting and for the comments. Significantly fewer on the "open social" and "indy social" than I would have predicted.

Of 854 votes, half sometimes say "Fedi" or "Fediverse", 75% prefer to simply use the name of the platform they're using, like Masotdon or Pixelfed or Lemmy.

no more than 5% said they use "open social", "social web", "indy social" or "independent social media".

Thank you all for the input!

I'm in #Kyoto #Japan about to watch the Welshpool... I mean Deadpool and Wolverine movie, just been told it is expected I remain silent for the entire movie and must sit in silence until the credits end.

Must. Not. Laugh.

This true? How bad is it if I giggle?

@multiverseofbadness I haven't, but I'll check it out later!

One week in Japan and I'm now pricing smart toilets in the USA because I don't think I can return to my caveman toilet life now that I've been, ahem, exposed to better things.

Hey #Fediverse I just want to say despite all the things we'd like to improve, I love what we have, what we've built. There's more to do, but I'm so happy to browse the timeline and see people sharing photos and snippets of their lives. We have something incredible here. That is all.

I would pay good money to watch this race

Fantastic range of answers, thank you everyone! I see a few recurring themes among all the great responses:

1. People really enjoy knowing they have a chronological feed that won't hide or downrank content from the people they follow. I'll add the "there's no ads" into this group.

2. Engagement is better. More engagement, better quality engagement, real people, real conversations.

3. Local or community governance and moderation. Rules that work in your local context.

Thank you everyone!

👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

How flippin' awesome is that!?

In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.

And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

"Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd."

Tomorrow, March 1st, is #DyddGŵylDewi or #StDavidsDay - a day the Cymry celebrate #Wales and its culture.

The quote above translates to "do the little things in life", a reminder that even the tiniest interaction can make all the difference.

I look forward to an abundance of leeks, daffodils, mwsig Cymraeg, hopefully some #Defaidodon, and more!

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus i bawb!
