Is it just me or am I not the only person not seeing the number of re toots or likes on posts unless I click on the post to view it ?? #Mastodon#Fosstodon
One thing I wish #fosstodon had is a longer limit on message length. I am often envious of people on other instances that can post much longer messages. When I first joined #mastodon I didn't realize that instances could set their own length limit so it's not something I paid attention to. I love the content here, don't get me wrong, but having the ability to post longer messages rather than having to break them up into multiple messages might be nice.
@sotneStatue I "broke up" with my now "ex" instance, fosstodon, less than a month ago ;). We actually had a pretty amicable "divorce" (I moved in with floss.social ;), so I don't have any need to talk smack about fosstodon. Still, I can go for some drama...
Is it silly that I seriously considered changing to another Mastodon server just to get access to additional #emojos? 🙈 Drooling for the options in #wikisworld and #fosstodon (though I'd probably go way overboard with them anyway). Btw, hat tip to https://emojis.in for the excellent emojo browsing service!
The issue's pattern: you have a #cloudflare DNS service routing traffic to your Meshcentral instance, often behind an #nginx reverse proxy. The main website works, but the remote connections start failing half the time. Now they always fail at a 0 sec timeout.
#Fosstodon users - if you step outside fosstodon - have a bit of a bad reputation in fediverse for being typical techy-know-it-alls lacking social skills. I'm not saying that's true, but it's true it's a perception/experience.
I recognise the arguments for going #inviteOnly are complex, but closing the borders seems to imply some level of satisfaction with the group itself.
Are we the best versions of ourselves here? Do we have enough representation to help us grow in a healthy direction?
#Fosstodon , the instance I'm on, is now invite only. The reason is to slow its growth and avoid becoming a huge server.
This is good! The point of the #Fediverse is to have lots of different instances, after all, not a couple of giant ones.
And yes, huge instance == huge problems. Problems with moderation, with funding, and with culture. Stay a reasonable size and it's still all manageable for a small team.
Couple of recent changes that fellow Fosstodoners may have missed:
English-only public toots policy has been dropped (which I am pleased by).
Sign-ups are now invite-only (slows growth, which I think is a good thing - I would rather be on a mid-sized instance than something like mastodon.social).
@kev@fosstodon You're wanting Fosstodon to grow 'via recommendations', yet asking users to invite their 'friends'. Hopefully all users will consider if their friends would be useful contributors to Fosstodon, before inviting them.
I am seriously considering migrating my personal project repositories from GitHub to either Gitlab or Codeberg. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for either of these options? And which one to choose?
Hello! I've moved the official #CodeStats account from #Fosstodon to my self hosted instance social.ahlcode.fi. All of the followers should have been migrated automatically.
The website still lists the old account, I will change that soon. For now you can follow the chain of trust since the website lists the old account and the old account redirects to this one. So you can trust you are getting 100% authentic Code::Stats posts. :)
