Special shoutout to our administrator @chikorita157 who has been doing a good job keeping our Sharkey instance (server) running smoothly.
Being a system admin is can seem like a thankless job sometimes, and sometimes it means tracking down minor issues, going over logs, and occasionally dealing with user drama too (I do that for a living, it's not fun).
A friendly reminder that the Fediverse instance (server) is run by a volunteer who does not get paid, does not host ads, and is often paying things out of their own pocket. - All so complete strangers can share their random thoughts, views, beliefs, rants, or sometimes just sh*tpost.
This is a reminder to do some spring cleaning in your #Sharkey drive folder and to back up all your #Fediverse data offline. I trust the admins of my server will always do their best to preserve my data but it isn't their responsibility to do so in the event of an emergency.
Tired of missing tags, notifications and directs so I'm trying the deck mode out again. I think I've landed on something I can be happy with. Thoughts? How do you set up your deck mode on #Sharkey?
I kinda wish #iceshrimp and/or #sharkey had a tumblr-style queue, I have a ton of unrelated Thoughts but don't want to spam the timeline with them.
It could work if there was a Iceshrimp/Sharkey compatible external client and if they had support for the post scheduling APIs (or just ran in the cloud).
I do not understand why Mastodon became so popular in the Fediverse. Once you learn about all the advantages of Misskey and the many forks (Sharkey, Ice Shrimp, etc) and how limiting and sometimes uncooperative Mastdon can be (this being an example), it makes you wonder. lol
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.

Ich war auch lange auf der Suche nach einer guten #App für #Misskey und die diversen daraus hervorgegangenen Forks.Mit #Milktea konnte ich mich ebenfalls nie so richtig anfreunden. Inzwischen bin ich aber bei #FDroid auf die #AriaApp gestoßen.Versuche es doch mal mit ihr.Ich kann für mich sagen,dass diese App das Zeug dazu hat,mit großem Abstand mein Favorit für den Zugriff auf #Sharkey zu werden, und ich kann sie nur wärmstens empfehlen.
Wichtig ist zu wissen, dass nach dem ersten Öffnen zunächst nicht nur, wie bei vergleichbaren Apps üblich, das Benutzerkonto mit Aria verknüpft werden muss, sondern auch die gewünschten Timelines (die in der APP "Tabs" heißen) hinzugefügt werden müssen. D.h. diese kommen nicht per Default schon fertig eingerichtet mit.
Have mobile apps caught up with *key forks yet or is PWA / Browser still the best way to experience them?
Bit of an idle question, I'm not an app guy if I can avoid it, but I do know some folks prefer them. Happy with my PWAs, just curious as to the state of the app landscape after a year.
