Mastodon

wgrav,

there really aren't that many good looking desktop clients sadly (outside of but then they all look more or less the same because of , not to say they don't look great)

@wgrav I’ve been using https://phanpy.social and I think it’s phenomenal. It’s a web client, but I think it’s the best design and usability wise by far @phanpy

Yes, Junior is sleeping like this, stretched out on a cool surface on a very warm day! Happy 😻 His tail takes this shape often 😸

I saw two posts today both identical with the image. One had alt-text the other did not. Guess which one got boosted by me?

My old instance/server is shutting down and when I requested my Archieve I see that it does not include my past posts and they didn't migrate over to my new home.

Is there any way to get an archive of my past?

Wenn ich einen account für meinen machen will, wie mache ich das am besten? Einfach einen üblichen account machen und credentials sharen? Oder geht das auch eleganter?

Are there any API clients that only implement the Private Mentions part?

I’ve been curious about an app that looks and feels like a messaging or email app, but just for PM’s. Having played with the APIs before, I feel like a basic thing might not be that difficult to write? 🤔

@darth Sadly, I only have an Android device.

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

@SuitedUpDev @Dianora I've found this page from Perkins School for the Blind has some good basic tips. The graphic at the bottom lives rent free in my head.

@Dianora Adding my voice to this. Until late last year, I was effectively blind due to cataracts. I couldn't really see the images too well, but Alt-Text made them accessible to me. Anything accessible to the disabled is automatically accessible to the abled, so PLEASE use Alt-Text so we visually disabled people can enjoy the pictures TOO!

This site is magical, bitch about the current state of politics, get branded as a Trumper and a bot from the "Self Appointed Evangelist of Mastodon"

Then after people started to call them an asshole for a being a dick, they double down on the trump insult and blocked me.

Love the Internet and boomer libs who think are helping but just pushing people away by telling the younger folks to shut up and deal.

I see you not actually wanting things to really change.

cosvak, (edited )
@cosvak@mastodon.world avatar

@NaturaArtisMagistra not either, I Guess I should of said, "not all boomers"

But the "YOU KNOW NOTHING SHUTUP!" Mentality is not helpful either.

Or just being dog piled on by a bunch of neo libs calling me a fascist for demanding better.

My apologies to anyone who is older and actually tries to connect and has or is actively helping.

cosvak,
@cosvak@mastodon.world avatar

@NaturaArtisMagistra Not trying to be a dick or anything, honestly interested and want a conversation where there isn't name calling.

Why did you feel compelled to respond with what you did? Did you feel as though I was undermining you personally, allies that actually helped in the day, or are you afraid of being lumped in neo-libs who took up liberalism to protect their own assets from facism?

I took huge offense being immediately lumped as a fascist bot troll, got defensive and now this.

This is the way.

I hope @verge and @404mediaco set a good precedent that other media outlets will want follow.

New code on mstdn.social integrates the alt message into the long tap on images, so its included in the Save file etc dialogue.

I'm impressed.

Please let us know what do you think!

This is out first version with full Mastodon support so there are definitely some bugs and features missing:

  • media alt text (coming soon!)
  • private mentions
  • custom feeds/lists/bookmarks

Thank you for understanding, we are working hard on making Openvibe fantastic 🐙

openvibe,
@openvibe@mastodon.social avatar

@mstankiewicz thank you for the feedback!

You can swipe between the timelines (combined following, trending and separated Nostr and Mastodon). We definitely want to add multiaccount support, but right now our main goal is to have Mastodon+Bluesky+Nostr support in a single app. After that we have a ton of fixes and additional features we want to add 🐙

Do you want #Mastodon to look more like #Twitter? @rolle has made a theme called mastodon-bird-ui and it's sick!

@hcj Thanks for the compliment! I actually created it because a) I wanted my profile to look better, b) there was no Android app that had all the visual things I wanted :blob_smile_sweat:

Today, I found a #mastodon .

Billie,
@Billie@social.tchncs.de avatar

@martijn Interesting, the photo was taken inside a house (age unknown, I guess built about 1930) on the isle in northern Germany.

How old might the mastodon be?

martijn,
@martijn@ieji.de avatar

@Billie I'll ask if he knows where they're from, but we've had them since I was little. So they would be at least 30 years old. But my dad used to run a rural hardware / farming store, so they might have come from anywhere. (We are located in Friesland btw)

I'd like to use a workflow where each #Mastodon message that gets bookmarked by me is automatically screenshotted to PNG, archived in a local directory and its text content + image descriptions get added to a text file (preferably #orgdown) together with a link to the screenshot and the original message URL.

Somebody willing to volunteer? 🙇

@mousebot@todon.nl avatar

@publicvoit i felt a little like hacking so i started on the toot > org item bit, but you'd have to tell me how you want the items organized. so far i did headline: CW or timestamp, content (rendered), then URL, then plan to do alt-text(s). no draws or anything so far.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@mousebot That would probably my choice: https://paste.grml.org/3660/

It is annoying in to still keep missing a lot of interesting posts by people in my list, which live in an almost specular time zone. although I have put them in dedicated lists, if I forget to check them regularly, their stuff is just lost to me.
So the only thing is to click on the 🔔 for each of such profiles. That however messes up with the notifications.
ffff....

tsrono,
@tsrono@mastodon.social avatar

@franco_vazza i think an algorithmic feed that populates with very granular settings, that could be turned on then turned off at will, would be great and help with these issues. i’ve started trying to sort via lists too, but lists aren’t available on the main Mastodon app on mobile so… 🤷‍♂️ (i also often forget to check the lists when on laptop browsing!)

Its almost as of they thought about your data is YOUR data and made migrations easy... #Mastodon

@Kancept Welcome to first and foremost.

Glad to hear you had no issues migrating over from your old instance!

If you have questions or anything else, please don't hesitate to let us know!

@cliffwade Thanks! It was one of the easiest migrations I'd ever done.
