Update: Already implemented on #Mastodon, partially implemented on #GtS: https://chaos.social/@nordern/116857153076615091

There seriously needs to be a way to say "Show me my toots from 2026-05-02" or whatever on #fedi.

Paging down through pages and pages of results feels silly, and is an unwarranted tax on the server.

Romanian is one of the Romance languages i haven’t studied that have always been difficult to decipher due to its Cyrillic-esque orthography.

am learning to read it with #Mastodon’s translation feature.

humans #network thru #languages. if you want to grow the #fediverse, you must make it easy to translate what dazzles yet cannot be easily read.

yet another reason to love @Gargron’s vision of what the platform could be and the elegantly forward thinking work of the @MastodonEngineering team.

@82mhz @steeph @daj @stefano

#Glitch does have that, and many other great features (like Markdown support), but there's a reason why it's called Glitch ;)

I will add the criticism that #Mastodon by and large gets to unilaterally decide what #fedi looks like by fiat. No discussion, and not a whole lot of caring about the AP spec itself, from what I'm hearing.

@daj @82mhz @stefano

The arbitrary limits in #Mastodon are a little infuriating.

And I really want to like Mastodon. It was my first experience on the #fediverse, and I actually like the UI/UX, for the most part.

@stux

Stux, my love, the Fediverse has a freeloading problem that is going to have to be addressed. It's not sustainable.

It's time for *all* instances to start telling their members if they don't give at least $5 a month, their account will be suspended, and 30 days after that, it will be deleted.

There is nobody who can afford internet access that can't afford $5 a month.

(If someone is REALLY in bad shape they can apply for a *temporary* deferment from donating.)

#Fediverse #Mastodon

I'm using the extended web interface of the Mastodon instance I'm on. This allows for multiple columns with different content. I created one column to follow hashtags, by searching for a hashtag and then selecting "pin" in the column in which it shows the resulting posts. This column offers the option to include additional hashtags, and then I get a field where I can enter additional hashtags I'd like to show up there (see screenshot).

I can enter four additional hashtags by entering the name of the hashtag and pressing enter. If I enter a fifth one, when I press enter it just disappears. It doesn't stick.

So apparently this is limited to a maximum of five hashtags per hashtag column.

This feels like a bug to me, or a rather arbitrary limitation that doesn't make a lot of sense. Before I create a bug report, I was going to ask, is this normal? Is this deliberate? Is it a feature? Or is it indeed a bug?

For reference, the current Mastodon version on this instance is 4.5.13.

@stefano Any idea?

#mastodon #mastoadmin

@mstadmin
#Yacy allows searching any #Mastodon post from any server.... IF it has crawled it. I have my server set up to crawl certain feeds on a schedule, so the search results will be up-to-date. And Yacy is not for Mastodon only, but for any web page that has been crawled.

Regarding #Elasticsearch, is that a search option available on your Mastodon instance but requires you to be logged in to use it? You can search only your posts, and not those from other accounts, right?

Posting online is like an open diary, or a log of your life, if you want it to be. And yes, it is helpful to have it documented so you can come back later to refresh your memory.

#Elasticsearch is not something I know about, but that is good if it works for you.

I use #Yacy when I need to search my own posts. Example: Yacy finds the last time I mentioned #Mary in a #Mastodon post....

There's a trend in #SouthKorea called " #dopamine sites"

Fake shopping websites for deriving pleasure just choosing and ordering

"One popular site, FoodNeverComes, mimics a food delivery app where you can compare menu items, read reviews, pick your favorites, fill your cart, and even watch a virtual courier make progress toward your house on a live map"

I feel like there's a problem with hashtags - if you don't already know a hashtag for a topic how would you ever figure out what the people talking about it are using?

And if you see a cryptic hashtag, there's no definition anywhere to help you figure out what it means, the best you can do is search for posts using it and try to figure it out from context

Just curious...what are the benefits of using a different #Mastodon web client?

@elk

@AwetTesfaiesus Da stimme ich Dir zu, für mich wird an zweites Merkmal aber immer wichtiger, was mir allerdings auch erst in den letzte Wochen und Monaten bewusst wurde: Wie einfach ist es, mit den Vertretern der Partei in einen Austausch zu treten? Zu meiner Überraschung funktioniert dies in meiner Bubble nur mit zwei Parteien, den @GrueneBundestag und @dielinke .  Spannenderweise ist es bei meiner Familie ebenso, und die treiben sich nicht auf #Mastodon.

Ich sehe von daher noch nicht ganz schwarz, Pun intended, wenn es um das Wahlverhalten der Menschen im #Fediverse geht.

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use?

Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

So how do they think it can be enforced everywhere?

• They'll simply tell you to do it.
• They'll lecture you about it.
• They'll call you out if you don't do it.
• Once they've caught you not doing it repeatedly, they'll insult you as ableist.
• They'll block you. Before they block you, they'll announce in public that they'll block you because you're an ableist swine who refuses to add alt-text to his images, and they'll mention you so that you can see it.
  If you're only here to get and stay in contact with a select few people, none of whom are on Mastodon, you might not care.
  But if you need a certain amount of reach especially on Mastodon, this is bad.

I've not yet seen any posts, attacking or otherwise, taking this stance

Right now, this feature is only available in a development version of Mastodon and only on mastodon.social. Next will be the daredevil servers that run development code to be ahead of release in features.

But eventually, a new stable release will be rolled out with this feature. More and more servers will be upgraded to this new version with this feature. Once typical activist servers like beige.party introduce it, my prediction will come true.

I have family who have varying levels of blindness who consume media from all over the internet. All of them have been quite thrilled about the state of these new robot assistants we all now have such easy access to.

Specifically assigned "alt-text" is never necessary.

In fact, however, image-describing AI is just barely better than nothing, if at all. It describes stuff that doesn't matter. It doesn't describe stuff that does matter. Most importantly, it's unreliable and inaccurate. It hallucinates and describes stuff wrongly. However, people who aren't sufficiently sighted don't know. They can't verify whether what the AI says is true because they can't see the image well enough to be able to compare it with the description.

100% hand-written alt-text is always more reliable, more accurate and more fit for the context than AI-generated alt-text will ever be.

I know from first-hand experience. I've tasked an image-describing AI with describing an image which I've described manually with no AI help first, and then I've analysed the AI description and compared it with both the actual image and my descriptions. I've even done that twice. The results were abysmal.

I've recently migrated to this personal / single-user #Mastodon instance and finally got around to writing about that "journey”, explaining how and why I did it.

https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social

It is but one more way in which I am pushing further into adoption of #indieweb #ownyourweb #ownyourdata #ownyoursocial ideas.

Honestly, the hardest part about the move was emotionally leaving infosec.exchange, I explain why in the post (https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social#thanks-to-infosecexchange). Thanks for everything @jerry 🧡!

@aral @_elena i'm very pessimistic about the future, globally. A small part of me was still putting hope in #Europe . Hoping we would have the chance to do things better, differently.

Adopt more officially #fediverse , #opensource , #ethics solution. It wouldn't have been hard to leverage on the great strength and potential of #mastodon , #matrix and #element , ...

This might seem out of proportion, but all my hope is gone 😞 All of it.

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".

A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.

If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.

When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?

The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.

They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?

If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.

You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.

• snac (very minimalist fedi server, see https://snac.bsd.cafe)
