Urgently. Please read this.

We owe 4 months rent for the land our tent sits on — $150/month. The owner is threatening to evict us. In Gaza. With nowhere to go.

A kind friend covered one month. I still need $450 in the next 48 hours.

$450 is the difference between having ground under our tent — or nothing.

I have never been this scared of losing what little we have left.

#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.

Get your daily dose of gothy poetry from @Aphelion a creator and honest force of light here on our #fediverse - you will love to have them on your #feed and support their #creativity

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?

In just 10 months we will be celebrating 10 years on #mastodon when we moved from GNU StatusNET in May of 2017. Thank you for helping us build our part of the #fediverse here at SDF.ORG #thanks #community

@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?

The annual #SocialWeb Operations Survey from @iftas is open!

With over 8,000 active installs, we want the #Mastodon community's voice to be heard. Whether you're running a single-person server or a larger community hub, your feedback directly shapes the tools, resources, and advocacy IFTAS takes on. And they've rebuilt the survey on Tally this year, so it's EU-based and mobile-ready.

Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey: https://tally.so/r/81MW6k

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 would never waste time online for a dopamine hit... Oh! Someone gave a me a favorite on #Mastodon!

What features do you miss in Mastui? Because you do use Mastui right?

A tip for users of our experimental instance mementomori.social:

You can enable the algorithmic "For you" feed from the top right corner of the Home feed. When you turn it on, it will instantly switch to a ranked feed that prioritizes posts based on who you follow, who you comment on, and what you like or boost. If you also toggle on "Include posts from people you don't follow," you'll see trending content across the Fediverse based on your interests.

Unlike Trending tab, For you -feed is personal. The logic is similar to pre-Musk Twitter but user-focused and not corporate-owned.

The Trending tab remains unchanged, and /explore shows posts from roughly the past 6-12 hours, with a strong focus on the most recent ones. A post that gets massive engagement might stick around a bit longer, but most cycle out within half a day. Your own For you page changes every time you click the menu, refresh the page, or return.

This is ongoing, experimental work. The PR draft and source code are available here: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mastodon/pull/4

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
