i am considering moving our social instance to mastodon (shutting this one down, warning users for about 1-2 months to migrate over, etc.) for a better mobile experience. I don’t like mastodon’s web UI, but i can make a ton of changes there if needed. i want to hear your opinions and takes

i do like iceshrimp rn tho, and i don’t want to break what works. but there needs to be a better mobile solution, and i do kinda miss my push notifications + a dedicated mobile app

josh,

@Skunk @tournesol and that’s mainly the point: i prefer to have push notifications as that’s kind of a basic / standard feature. main reason why im considering jumping is uploading videos seems to be slightly problematic. i may need to spend time trouble shooting, but if it continues to be an issue ill be reluctantly looking at mastodon.

josh,

@Skunk @tournesol iceshrimp + misskey web experience is unparalleled, but trying to play videos seems to be a bit of an issue, even though ive been updating the container (might have to update again). its been an issue ive been tracking + trying to fix for quite a bit

It's times like this that I really wish was self-hosted and had a larger character limit for each post.

Relaying a point with more characters often allows you to express the point better and much more clearly for everyone to understand.

Mastodon please, change the character limit site wide, or allow it as a feature in the admin panel.

josh,

@cliffwade can you not increase the character limit in mastodon?

josh,

@cliffwade ohhhhh, sounds tough 😬

josh,

@cliffwade 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

josh,

@cliffwade @beardedtechguy just reached out 🙏🏼

There needs to be apps for , , , , and any other misskey forks that support reactions and full push notifications on iOS. While the webapp im using on my iceshrimp instance is okay, it cannot be a permanent solution.

Or, it would be great if @IceCubesApp supported push notifications for iceshrimp/misskey forks, but i'm guessing its a server side issue :P

wait how do you download videos on sharkey 🧍

josh,

@kalayo do you guys have the download button on videos?

josh,

@kalayo hmmmmmm. I hope to not be un-intuitive, but i wonder if yt-dlp works...

josh,

@kalayo when in doubt, use command line. what device are you on?

josh,

@kalayo download button doesn’t show on mobile, using a shell emulator on mobile is how to download videos

josh,

@kalayo ofc! i have to do this with youtube on mobile too :>

This is something we need so very badly here in the Fediverse on Mastodon as a whole.

Whenever you exceed your character limit of a post on your instance, it automatically splits into multiple posts or have it like Twitter/X where you can choose to add another message before sending it so that you can send them all together instead of making a post, publishing, making a comment on the original post, rinse and repeat.

josh,

@cliffwade or use a server that exceeds your post by thousands of characters

@beardedtechguy @cliffwade Hello hello 👋 reply back if you can see this, testing out something new

josh,

@cliffwade @beardedtechguy perfect 👏🏼 means my server is working with mastodon. i’m using a fork of misskey called iceshrimp, which are basically mastodon replicas but much more modern. you’ll see what im talking about if you go to my source profile
