Finding interesting people on Mastodon has been my biggest challenge 😅, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. If you're an author, aspiring writer, book lover, fantasy reader, tech lover, roleplayer, tabletop gamer, or anything in between, feel free to follow me! I'd love to connect and follow you back 😄📚🎲 #Mastodon#fantasy#rpg#ttrpg#gaming#tech
Is there an #activitypub or #mastodon developer hangout place that people think is useful?
(In particular I'm trying right now to figure out if there is a protocol magic I can do to make infosec.exchange stop continuously telling me about the deletion of a particular profile I have never interacted with.)
We are back with the second episode of our NikkahNama series! In this week's episode, we will be sharing the findings of a diagnostic study jointly published by Centre for Human Rights, Musawi, and the National Commission for Human Rights.
little #mastodon protip: due to how posts federate there's no guarantee someone will see a link/video preview when they see your post, especially on small servers. this means that you'll probably want to add some kind of relevant description in the post where you're posting the link, like repeating the headline or quoting a relevant excerpt
Do you find the 500 character limit on #Mastodon limiting? I sure do.
I thought I saw somewhere that one or more servers allowed 2000 characters, but that was long ago before I started posting much of anything.
Anyone know what I am referring to?
The max_id, since_id, and min_id parameters in #Mastodon's Timeline API assume that the post ID is a sortable number. (Is this correct?) #Hollo, the #ActivityPub implementation I'm building, uses UUIDs for post IDs internally, so I'm stuck on how to implement a Mastodon-compatible API.
#Mastodon's inability to properly thread through absent messages (e.g. deleted, or not federated because of privacy configurations) is rather obnoxious.
I will take reporting on anything at all numeric by #SocialMedia , #Mastodon , and the #MainstreamMedia seriously when each post or article clearly states if an "average" or a "median" was used, and if it is average, what the skew and kurtosis are
folks, that last bit about [#skew and #Kurtosis is a lame inside joke ]
Ok I should really know this but can’t find the setting for the life of me. How do I get a little icon on the bottom right hand corner of my profile picture? #mastoadmin#mastodon just like below
I'm enjoying #mastodon more and more every day. Compared to #bluesky, which only provides a limited amount of features, this instance has granular control of the algorithmic impact of my own posts, explicit opt-in read receipts, and even mini-picture reactions! (I'm still holding out for #memoji support)
The biggest social media transformation is happening in our lives right now, and we shouldn't waste it on inferior platforms who are holding out features and ignoring their principles.
I hope that this trend continues to push out industry forward into making better software, for humans!
The best thing that could ever happen to Mastodon is if someone, someday builds a great instance coupled with a great client and hardly anyone cares that it's built on Mastodon.
If that where to happen it would be the moment that Mastodon fulfills its true potential. #mastodon#fediverse
The problem with Mastodon is that it's software not a service. That's where all the confusion starts. @Gargron shouldve called the flagship instance something completely different. [insert platform name here] built on Mastodon. But of course hindsight is 20/20 and no one could've predicted the great migration. Perhaps people would've joined a Mastodon site as they previously browsed web sites? #mastodon#fediverse
The next version (1.10.39) of #IceCubesApp will include a option to use Apple Translate as your primary translation source. If you had „always use DeepL“ set in the previous version this should be reflected after you’ve updated. @IceCubesApp #iOS#Mastodon
Mastodon should allow uploading and posting images when creating polls so the poll can have a visual representation of what the poll is trying to survey.
