Oh god, been there.

The key element in a podcast RSS feed is <enclosure>

@polotek
What's the fundamental difference between quoting a post and simply making a new post with a link in it to the one you're talking about?

Technically, psychologically, philosophically, what's the difference?

@ct_bergstrom
Hey but don't forget all that growth in Japan where <checks notes> they suffered two horrible catastrophes in a few days and Twitter actually prevented them from finding out key information.

> "Mum needs SPOONS!"

It's possible this was the metaphorical use of "spoons" but it's the thought that counts!

@ct_bergstrom
Points deducted for 'literal' but OK

@kristinHenry
What "absolute no commercial posts at all" attitude? I've never seen anyone say that.

@me
Hi I like the app but this is very frustrating. Some posts get cut off both right and left. I'm on a iPhone 8.

@psychictides @ryanhoulihan
Ouch on behalf of the word "literally".

Israel has funded Hamas?

@feditips @LoganFive
Not sure why you're saying it's hard for my "app" to know. My app (IceCubes) never has a problem ever. It's the web browser interface which can't handle it.

And for the record, it's not about any other fediverse service, purely mastodon/mastodon interactions.

@feditips
Maybe it’s intentional — to start showing some replies after 20-odd posts in a thread? To show replies after 10% of the thread? To show replies as soon as they start showing up?

But the fact that there is

• a radically different view for the logged in and the non-logged-in user, and
• no obvious affordance to let the non-logged in user see the rest of the thread

is a major bug, I feel.

@feditips perhaps you have some insight?

I have a pretty big Mastodon question/problem.

I'm trying to link someone who doesn't have an account to this thread:

https://techhub.social/@LadyDragonfly@universeodon.com/110753630156713990

which contains an image for each country in the world.

I can see it at that URL.

But when I go to that thread in Incognito/a browser where I'm not logged in, I get redirected to this URL:

https://universeodon.com/@LadyDragonfly/110753630154110925

which cuts off after Brunei.

What's happening, how can I stop it, and how can I share that full thread with someone not on Mastodon?

This is kind of a blow to my evangelism.

@Mrfunkedude #today I had a conversation with a homeless person. I'm pleased to say they are getting their life back on track and working toward becoming a respectable, productive member of society.

… I had the strangest urge to say "Don't do it! You're FREE!".

#Today I had lunch in a fancy French restaurant, everything dripping with cream and butter, and thought “somewhere my cardiologist feels a great disturbance in the Force”

@Mrfunkedude When I was 12 I was given a book about puberty called “What’s Happening To My Body?”

When I got to 50 nobody gave me a book called “What’s Happening To My Body Now?”

@Mrfunkedude This woman is complaining that it happened without her consent:

@Mrfunkedude It just means “don’t put your food in a cold oven and then turn on the heat”.

#Today I have been rehearsing “things I may say to people one day”.

PERSON A: You know what you did. And if you don't know what you did that's 100 times worse.

PERSON B: I'm not saying you're a bad person—oh wait yes I am, you're a bad person.

PERSON C: You lost your company because you trusted PERSON B, and I tried to warn you about them so. many. times.

I may never say these things, but it's nice to keep them at the back of my mind.
