I tried to be a good system admin and update to the latest v4.1.x, but even after restarting everything, the main web service fails to load. Doing this via iPhone is not ideal, so troubleshooting is annoying.

Meh.

UkrainianAstronomyProject, to Wikipedia

Dear friends, on July 1, 2023, our first project with Wikimedia Ukraine to support Good and Selected articles started 🌟

We also decided to hold a contest based on this project 🚀

Its logic is quite simple: edit articles →accumulate points →receive prizes.

⏳ The duration of our plan: six months (from July 1 to December 29)!

To know more, read an article https://uk.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%96%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%96%D1%8F:%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%94%D0%BA%D1%82:%D0%9F%D1%96%D0%B4%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%85_%D1%96_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%85_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9

On android, I have installed Tusky, Megalodon, Moshidon, besides native Mastodon app. I haven't yet decided on a favorite. Ice Cubes is my preferred app on IOS.

Opinion: Meta's Threads app isn't ever going to connect to Mastodon, so stop pretending that it is (knollslaw.substack.com)

When Meta announced Threads, their new Twitter competitor, they claimed in the very first paragraph that it would interoperate with Mastodon and other social networks based on the open-source ActivityPub protocol: The official Mastodon site responded with their own blog post to address frequently asked questions

I've never considered following hashtags on before, but after reading up on it, I'm not sure I want posts from them to populate my "Home" (i.e., Following) feed (if I understand correctly). :bunhdthink:

Assuming I continue to find more cool people to follow, it'll get harder and harder to keep up w/ everyone, and introducing noise from a hashtag will only make it worse.

I think it'd be nice to have a separate "Followed Hashtags" feed, or even better, have lists of hashtags like "ACGN Hashtags" or "Live Service Games Hashtags" so I can keep up w/ different interests, though that's a much larger technical leap to make I'd imagine haha

Most of my tips for having a good experience on aren't at all technical:

  1. Get on a small but active instance that's related to your interests.

  2. Add tons of people. Seriously go nuts.

  3. Follow lots of hashtags.

  4. Post an

  5. Post stuff! Use hashtags everytime you do!

  6. Don't miss the Local timeline. Especially if you did step 1.

From the Dept. of Contrary Opinion: "Meta's Threads app isn't ever going to connect to Mastodon, so stop pretending that it is"

Money quote:

"Threads is already many times larger than Mastodon. They’ve already won. They don’t need to play at being the good guy who supports open standards anymore. There’s no angle in it for them but there’s all sorts of downsides."

"You need to change instance just because the one I'm in is making poor decisions lately" is not something I envisaged when I joined Mastodon.

Social media is different things for different people.

Some may believe their business and/or career necessitates a presence on a variety of platforms for promotional purposes. It's at least a stance I can entertain.

Fortunately for me, I'm not looking for anything more than a small piece of the internet to civilly interact with other curious and sociable people. I don't need what's trending, just what's healthy and positive.

My SO asked me why he doesn’t see from at his fave political crowdsource site. He does, course, see plenty of embedded tweets.

Resulting conversation about protocols for embedding and supporting code to make all that happen.

I’ve seen some discussion of some connective tech for share this post TO mastodon. Does “embed a mastodon toot” tech exist?

Been experimenting on a feature that shows the first post which have been replied to, on main feeds. What frustrates me a lot is to see those replies that I don't know context of. I have to click myself through the conversation to the first post.

It would help tremendously to see the first post directly.

Working on a blog post: Listing benefits that try to avoid nerd shit

  • No ads = no incentive to tolerate hate and abuse for the sake of ad revenue
  • Healthier moderation - Vast majority of the Mastodon network has blocked the far-right hate trolls and communities
  • Use any apps you want
  • Find a community that shares your interests, engage with the global community—only if you want
  • Communities set their own rules around accepting new members, sensitive content, etc.

What else?

Hi @BakerRL75 and @ai6yr

Question.

I wonder if a server could be created using the various protocols available in the for alerts etc. (just day dreaming). I don’t know much about the tech part of this.

The does the only sensible thing and no longer wants to use a commercial actor like . They installed their own on social.overheid.nl . Of course! They have their own e-mail service, it's only logical you have your own micro-blogging/information service as well. 🙌🏼👏🏼

What do I really think about ?

Both as a and a big fan of and the I see Threads as a way to preserve existing social hierarchies, decrease the quality of content on the platform, and convince users (yet again) that they should view social media as a place to consume "media”... instead of being "social”

@mariyadelano This is fantastic. I appreciate that you transcend the vapid debate around buzzy features to focus on why we go to these platforms to begin with.

Your newsletter provides a nice framework for evaluating what we hope to achieve on social media. It also makes me feel happy about being (only) on .

If I'm following you twice and you wonder why.... I bailed off Twitter on Election Day, 2022. After a satisfying six months on home.social, I had to choose something else since that server was closing. I test flew Calckey since late May, and still have an account there. But It's not working out all that well for me, and I'm leaning toward making my primary account elsewhere. Possibly here. Time will tell! ⏰

Is there a way to copy the alt text from an image to the clipboard?

There are probably lots of reasons for doing this but a common one for me is seeing a photo with alt text in a language other than English. I'd like to copy the text so I can use a tool to translate it.

I'm using the web interface for mastodon right now but if there's an app that has this feature please let me know.

@Stark9837@techhub.social avatar

@ahimsa_pdx

yeah but then you could just select the text with a mouse if you are using a browser, because you are always able to access any text. In other apps it might not be possible and the developers should add a copy button.
