Some of y'all might have noticed that there is a bug where links are not being rendered properly. I have some good news and some bad news about this bug. The good news is that this bug has a fix; the #Misskey core team and contributors have already fixed this bug for Misskey back in November of last year. The bad news is that this fix may not come to #Calckey by the time this instance needs to be ready for wider use; the bug report I am following was opened in December, and TBH, I don't see a bug fix by the time Calckey v14 is released, which may be later than this instance will need be ready for wider use.
Either way, I'll still be tracking the bug report, and I will keep y'all posted.
What I like about Mastodon so far: great (iOS) apps and some good interactions. Sometimes it feels like the “good old days”.
But there seems to be a lot of negativity, too. Posting on Mastodon that you don’t like Twitter, Musk, Bluesky, BigTech, etc. doesn’t make this an interesting thing imho. And decentralization is great, but not the number one thing for most of the users. It’s interesting content and culture. And that’s what I still have not found unfortunately…
Hello! @diymusicchat I'm tryin out a new thing, hoping to get more participation and engagement across the #Fediverse for weekly #DIYMusicChat, Sundays at noon, central time zone in the US.
Did you know boosts help federate the hashtag across servers, fam?
I have been trusting CNN for years and years - still remembering the guy with the shopping bags, stopping the tanks... The Arab Spring... and so many other stories.
Last few years, they're not standing up for anything, it seems. The end of trust is scary - and not only CNN, sadly.
Just noting that the real fun comes when @donmelton boosts this post and you come in the next morning wondering why it suddenly has 70 replies, 240 boots and 892 favorites.
Sorry to probably start a holy war, but I don't understand that movement against quoted posts in #Mastodon. "Like in #Twitter" doesn't mean "bad inherently". If cooked correctly, it can be done with privacy and threads in mind. Just my opinion.
@menelion The operative word here is "if", and a lot of us just don't trust that they will be implemented in a way that will avoid the crap we experienced on Twitter.
