Is there a command-line tool that takes arbitrary UTF-8 text and formats it into 72 characters per line with linebreaks set properly and two spaces after a period? #AskMastodon#AskFedi :BoostOK:
Has someone explored fully replacing the Mastodon frontend with another web app? I am going to try it soon but maybe someone did already. #askMastodon#askFedi
Does anyone have #recommendations for a low chair or pillow for my desk? Right now, these three pillows are almost perfect to be able to sit on the floor, but it’s a bit unstable. I have been looking for floor pillows and poufs, but maybe I need something else?
🗺️ Is there an app that keeps track of where you’ve walked on a map, so you can seek out streets you haven’t been down yet? Sort of a gamification of exploring one’s neighborhood (or someone else’s while traveling).
EDIT: Looks like https://citystrides.com/ is exactly what I was asking for. Also, Personal Heatmap in Strava subscription may work too. Thanks, everyone!
This is for a post helping people understand and use the Fediverse - I want to give some examples of a variety of hashtags and groups that will spark interest for lots of different people.
I know people get punished for playing copyrighted music on Twitch or YouTube... but if I do it on my own PeerTube instance, how likely am I gonna be in trouble? #askFedi#askMastodon#askFediverse

So questions of the day!
I generally like to ask this of older or experienced people in life.
Disclaimer a fun post, so if you troll it at least make it relevant
If today was your last day alive. #spring
In a paragraph or phrase what do you feel is the most important message to pass on to future generations?
I’ve thought about it for awhile. How would you choose, or prioritize a paragraph or so on the most important message for them that you value personally?!!🙏🥰
#BritsOfMastodon if you wanted to set up a “British restaurant” abroad, to which people would go to, much like they go to an Indian or Chinese restaurant, what dishes would you include on the menu as quintessential British gastronomy?
If you're just joining fediverse welcome to Mastodon. Cat is not happy about all this work even on caturday. Why?
I had to mute over 200 posts in the last 30 minutes or so. Cleaning up the feeds so you can get to a few good posts will take lots of effort because there's no algorithm
You'll notice many posts come from sources like dlvr ... review them and use filter/block
Can one import and use a follow list from one account to another regardless if an account is formally "moved" or not?
I started with an account on mstdn.ca... is it possible to "reactivate” that account after the transfer/move so that it no longer redirects to the 'new' account?
So it's finally happened. I'm tired of ☠️-ing Adobe software. With its shift to AI and other dubious practices I'm finally switching to #FOSS alternatives.
For photoshop I'm using #Krita; Illustrator, #Inkscape, tho now I'm looking for an indesign alternative. So far #Scribus seems the most popular. And I might have to get a free trial of indesign to export my existing books into XML format 🙃
Anyone know any other alternatives? #OpenSource#software#windows#askmastodon#opensourcegraphics
#askmastodon#askfedi#bots#botstuff - since i dont see an option for subscribing whole server and i would love to be able to see some random stuff from certain server on my feed, would it be considered malicious if i would have a bot that would boost all post on such server? Or maybe there is more elegant solution apart from persuading all server’s users to use certain hashtags?
I have been waiting for @frameworkcomputer to ship to my country with my language keyboard layout for ages, today I bumped into @novacustom and at glance they seem quite nice and also European based, does anyone has first hand experiences with these laptops?
My +10 years old laptop is really getting impractical to use and a new purchase decision must be made.
🆘 🚨 HELP REQUEST 🚨 🆘
Does anyone know of or how to locate Steinfeld comic strip history? Comic strip name? Author's full name? An official website? Please BOOST for greater reach.
I use to see it in the newspaper in the 1990s. Now I'm struggling to find anything more than what I have archived of the comic strips itself.
Question:
I know there is ask fedi!
Which is very cool and yes you can use hashtags to help your post be found.
Is there a hashtag tally index page?
Meaning top fedi hashes?
Is there a fedi statistics page that shows the information flows in between connections.
Would anyone be willing to do a live stream(Upto date) on the technicalities of how the whole network and information topologies and logistics and how it works. Also one for activity pub?
Good addition even if it's on the Threads side ... and I'm curious why many fediverse apps still can't get the correct post and follower count but it works with threads? Is it compatibility between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey apps? @Gargron
