Tired of missing tags, notifications and directs so I'm trying the deck mode out again. I think I've landed on something I can be happy with. Thoughts? How do you set up your deck mode on #Sharkey?
I kinda wish #iceshrimp and/or #sharkey had a tumblr-style queue, I have a ton of unrelated Thoughts but don't want to spam the timeline with them.
It could work if there was a Iceshrimp/Sharkey compatible external client and if they had support for the post scheduling APIs (or just ran in the cloud).
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
Have mobile apps caught up with *key forks yet or is PWA / Browser still the best way to experience them?
Bit of an idle question, I'm not an app guy if I can avoid it, but I do know some folks prefer them. Happy with my PWAs, just curious as to the state of the app landscape after a year.
@Uraael I keep using the old Subway Tooter 5.518 nofcm Android version downloaded from their Github.
The newer Subway Tooter versions have long dropped Misskey support, so this version is the last one where it works.
The old Subway Tooter lets you use an API key to sign in, and you can use Reactions and see existing Antennae.
There are quirks with how favorites work differently from reactions, and the user interface is not everyone's style, but there are also display options like hiding boosts on local and federated columns.
It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
@BeAware It’s so much better on Mastodon. People on X/Twitter/Muskapp would rarely hold conversations, just chime in with “well actually” or a whirlwind of trolling or insults.
Here, everyone seems genuine. Everyone is approachable. I’ve only blocked one person so far, and even then, I found out that almost everyone does 😅
@BeAware I guess I’m lucky that I don’t have a lot of followers 😂. I bet if there were more, I’d have a larger blocklist. But I’ve been lucky here… only really witnessed a lot of really awesome people. This is definitely much better than any other platform I’ve used.
Wait, #Sharkey doesn't support the $crop [#mfm either? I'll bet at ruins a bunch of old stuff.
Oh well; that's what I get for trusting a screwy undocumented markdown language without a reference spec. If I cared about consistency, I'd find something that lets me post raw CSS and HTML.
So....I keep thinking about this Sharkey migration and as I see it, I have 2 options:
Attempt to re-migrate to beaware.live (my main domain) even though I briefly already had an instance there and risk potential federation issues.
Migrate to beaware.social (new domain) and redirect beaware.live to it which shouldn't cause issues.
In all honesty, if I could be almost positive I could do the first option with little or no federation issues, I'd rather go that route. BUT, if I can't get a definitive answer on if that would work or not, the second option is always there....any advice?
@nigel unless someone can suggest me a really good and kinda low-key subdomain, I'd like to avoid that if I can🤷♂️ social is the only one I could think of that I liked and continues to be. I don't want to do something like Sharkey.beaware.live because I just don't like the idea of having project names in my domain😬
