If you could point me to different people who were part of developing these software solutions, that would be great. I got some of them, I would like to feature the champs that started/continued developing.
I promise it's nothing more than the straight-up promotion of this wonderful place.
Any suggestions on disposing of this foam packing material? This isn't styrofoam, though I doubt that the local city will take it. Boosts welcome. #FediHelp#Recycling#Disposal
I want to write a top-like tool for my server software (i.e. I want it to emita table of running requests), and also a structured access log (not persistent, only to display it while amonitoring tool is attached).
Is there some kind of standard protocol to transport such information to a monitoring tool, e.g. over a Unix socket or Websockets?
I have a @Mastodon account on mastodon.social with followers I would like to keep. But I also have my own website at FredRocha.net, running ActivityPub. How do I keep both while having my posts on my FredRocha.net WordPress install be federated as john_fisherman@mastodon.social?
Is this a thing? Are there aliases on the #fediverse that are easy to setup?
Or it’s expected to have multiple ids over here and just boost’em from instance to instance?
is there a way on #mastodon or specifically on #icecubesapp to follow a thread, that is, to make all replies appear on the home timeline?
or, put differently, how to you follow conversations? #fedihelp#askmastodon#feditips
Why is it that sometimes I'll see a toot with replies but I'm unable to see the replies? Or I'll see a reply but be unable to see the original post? It feels like pieces of the conversations are just missing.
#Mastodon has an "automated post deletion" built-in feature. But is there an automated way to undo boosts after a certain period of time? If so, is there a way to keep those boosts that were also starred? #MastoHelp#FediHelp#AskFedi
Some people complain about the lack of an algorithm to surface posts on #Mastodon, because when they open up in the morning, they have to scroll back to see everything that was posted during their night.
I understand the temptation to do that, but I'd say, don't. One of the very best things about pre-algorithm Twitter was the immediacy. The "you snooze, you lose", "if you miss it, it's gone" philosophy. Losing that urgent, immediate nature of Twitter was one of the biggest reasons I raged so hard against the introduction of said algorithm, and one of the things I still miss the most -- and consequently, one of the biggest draws to Mastodon, and why I so wish I'd discovered it years ago already.
So when I sit down at my desk in the morning, I fire up @sengi_app (my Mastodon client of choice), and I start there. With what I can see in my timeline without scrolling. That's it. What happened before that is gone forever (unless someone I follow boosts it).
Similarly, I might quickly glance at Mastodon during the day, and I might interact with the posts I see there, but I won't scroll back. If I missed it, it's gone.
To me, that's one of the biggest joys of the network.
(Obviously, this excludes notifications. I will scroll through my notifications and respond to those that need response or some sort of actioning) :-)
As an individual user, if I block a whole instance does it stop my toots from going there (so my toots would never appear in that instance's view of the federated timeline)? Or does it only stop people on that instance from interacting with me?
Is there someone who can help me about #friendica?
I'm kinda hopeless 🌚
Basically I can't open the settings of a forum account of mine on venera.social, all I get is a "Forbidden" alert. The thing is Friendica is a bit weird to me so I literally don't know how to reach the admins
Hello! I'm a Science Fiction writer interested in realism in my stories, which means plausible people having remarkable adventures in a physically plausible universe. I picked this universe because I think "space" or "physics" would be places where I can come to get my facts straight. This is my first time checking out Mastodon, let's see if I do it right.
Wie kann ich von einer Festplatte den Inhalt grafisch z.B. als Pixelbild darstellen? z.B. jedes Byte als Grauwert? Ich möchte eine formatierte Festplatte grafisch analysieren. Sind überall Nullen oder Einsen, oder Rest von Inhalten.
Gibt's da was? Oder stichprobenartig z.B. mit 'dd' einen Block lesen und darstellen?
Trying out Lemmy and kbin… And the #fediverse interoperability has lost me 😥 please #help !
