#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
What account should I use as my first experimental login to convert to using passkeys?
PayPal?
I know you don't know what systems I use, so this is a bit of a meaningless question. But do you know of any popular systems that a lot of people use that now support passkeys?
Preferably ones that can be stored and used by 1Password 8. Maybe I should do 1Password first if they support passkeys.
So my right joycon of my Switch is causing me issues that I've never run into before.
Been playing SSBU as my mindless pick up and play game forever. Oddly enough, when I launch the game now, my right joycon doesn't wanna work so long as it's plugged into the Switch. But if it's in wireless mode it works fine.
Also seems to work fine when connected to the unit when in the Switchs regular dashboard menus, but the moment I launch Smash Bros, the right controller just...Stops.
I’m genuinely interested in finding the original source for my avatar pic. I found it years ago and just thought it was cool, so I saved it without much thought at the time. Does anyone know how to do a reverse image search, or some other way to find the artist who created this image?
Thinking of switching to another instance.
I need something with big/no characters limit. Current 500 is not enough.
The place must be LGBTQAI+ friendly, neurodivergent friendly, generally diversity friendly.
Plus if it’s European.
Interests: nature, science, books
Any recommendations? Recommendations where to ask or where to check the list of instances with characters limit and other technical features of each? #askfedi #askmastodon
It looks like Mastodon Groups are in the works. I wonder what that would look like. Would it cover services on ActivityPub other than Mastodon? Does any microblogging platform out there already offer a similar feature?
I've had my general ham license in the US for a while but living in an apartment/lacking an HF transceiver means that I really haven't done much with it yet. Any recommendations on low footprint HF setup to get started?
Elder Millennials and Young Gen Xers – did you ever use Yahoo Chat / Messenger?
I’m trying to remember something and it’s driving me crazy…
I swear back in like ‘00-‘01, you could browse Yahoo for random people to chat with? Like they would put what they wanted to chat about (e.g. “The Beatles”), and you could choose to message them. I met a lot of fellow fans that way. Anyone else remember this??
Nobody: Hey Chris, does searching for really specific words actually work on Mastodon?
Me: Apparently yes! I was trying to remember the type of Apple my columnar tree was. I went to my web view and in the “Search or Paste URL" box I typed (no spaces after @ which I have used here so it would be visible):
from:@ chris@ mstdn.chrisalemany.ca “columnar”
It immediately (<1s) returned yesterday's post followed by the post I made back in August with the variety! Blushing Delight! Woot! #AskMastodon
There are a few ways that I can mirror my iPhone screen to my MacBook but is there any way that I can just have my iPhone open as an app on my desktop and just control it from there?
I just want to get into work, plug my phone into the computer, and not think about it - and then can reply to messages and access all the apps I need to via the desktop.
Anyone knows of a Mastodon client for Linux,
that allows message splitting across multiple toots automatically,
and published at once?
Something like Fedilab for android has.
Tried mere website, and Tokodon but didn't find it there.
Tried installing Tuba, but it didn't open the browser, and didn't give me a link to paste. so couldn't log in.
Sto lavorando a un progetto grafico e chiedo a chi vuole (e puole) di partecipare a un sondaggio, e magari farlo circolare nel Mastodon che parla italiano.
