It feels like the long-tail is gone from Google Search.

"Gems" that I used to be able to discover from Google Search results, by looking at page after page after page of results — are gone (from the Google Search results)!

Including stuff I know used to be there — gone!

❦

I even checked some "gems" that I discovered many, many years ago (from Google Search).

The URL for those "gems" still work.

But they seem completely gone from Google Search.

Thoughts #Nex protocol much native for Yggdrasil ecosystem than #Gemini, because at least does not require TLS/DNS and CN/SNI as extra dependency.

So, I’m curious: there’s a growing number of hosting platforms specifically for the . For those involved in this, who are comfortable with answering: is there a particular set of tools you use for managing, monitoring, and spinning up instances?

Are those tools open source?

I’m mainly wondering about whether there’s some kind of open platform / dashboard / infra tools that could serve a particular need for hosting / managing / provisioning Fedi servers, and whether the existing hosts in the space would benefit from a shared project of some sort.

@reiver@mastodon.social avatar

@deadsuperhero

SpaceHost has some custom tools we created, BUT —

We still have more work to do. There are still a number of more tools we need to create. It is on our (internal) road-map to create them.

But we haven't created them yet.

...

For example, we still need to create a tool that monitors when a server's drive space fills up, and do something about it.

Right now it is @rjbasitali manually monitoring things. Which is not ideal.

It needs to be automated.

Which will happen later.

Let's talk about

Akomma is Fediverse software — like Mastodon, Misskey, Lemmy, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and many others.

is a fork

But —

What is an "akkoma"‽
Where did that name come from‽

Why is the tag-line for Akkoma:
"magically expressive social media"‽

And what is the meaning behind the Akkoma logo‽

reiver,
@reiver@mastodon.social avatar

2/

The TL;DR version of —

• what is an "akkomo"‽,
• where did the "akkoma" name come from‽,
• why is the tag-line for ‽, “magically expressive social media”‽,
• what is the meaning behind the Akkoma logo‽,

… is this (in the attached image).

🙂

If that isn't enough of an explanation, keep on reading.

Let's focus on the "Akkoma" name first.

is named after a fictional anime character nicknamed Akko.

“Akko” is the nickname of the fictional anime character named: Atsuko Kagari.

Atsuko Kagari is a fictional anime character from the anime: Little Witch Academia.

So, what about the Akkoma logo‽ —

@reiver@mastodon.social avatar

Look at the logo.

Now look at the Atsuko Kagari (a.k.a. Akko) — the fictional character from Little Witch Academia anime.

❦

The Akkoma logo is a stylized (upper-case) letter "A" with Atsuko Kagari's witch's hat on it.

By this point, you probably already have a sense of why the tag-line is:

“Magically expressive social media”.

BONUS №1 —

Do you remember my "Happy Halloween" post from the year 2023 🙂

The image I attached was an homage to both and Akko (Atsuko Kagari).

Look at the hat 🙂

It looks like the hat in the Akkoma logo.

But it also includes more features of Akko's hat than the Akkoma logo includes.

BONUS №2 —

There are some Internet-memes based on Atsuko Kagari (a.k.a Akko) — i.e., the inspiration for the name, logo, and tag-line of the Fediverse software.

It is very easy.

You could get an Akkomane server up and going on SpaceHost in about 5 minutes:

Go here:

https://spacehost.one/akkoma

And then just tap/click some buttons, fill in some forms, etc.

Gaptangle, to Birds

Hey Fedi help me out? Someone made a meme I think a long time ago, and shared it some time last year, and it was the whole structure of a bird with silly labels for everything, and it had perfect alt text except it was a bit hard to tell what was where. I'm trying to find this for a friend I mentioned it to ages ago. Can someone link me to the post, or op if you see this can you post it again?

Was it the annoyed-bird meme?

@Gaptangle

With the Annoyed Bird meme, you would add whatever text you want.

...

Are you more interested in the text someone had, rather than the meme image?
