@matthiasott It won't really matter when as I will inevitably get around to reading it regardless of the day. That said, Monday's are optimal because it gives me all week to pore through the great material, get a bunch of ideas and maybe add things to my site before the weekend rolls around =).

big downside to Mastodon is you can't say "go back to mastodon, dork" to a pedantic dumbass in your mentions

@ancient_catbus what's funny is people say "go back to where you came from" all the time to people who are in fact right where they came from ๐Ÿซจ

Although at least at present, posts seem to show up in the Fediverse pretty slowly. Also not sure how threading will show upโ€ฆ

Is crossposting frowned upon in the Fediverse? I like the idea of Mastodon but find myself using Threads more, so I wonder if cross-posting allows participating in both places, or just makes me a dick.

sass,
@sass@mastodon.social avatar

@mriechers well u can now enable fediverse sharing in threads and it will come here natively! That's about all it can do now but in time it will be effectively the same as any other fedi server.

@ivory I noticed if I use the "reply from" picker and choose to reply from an account on a different instance it doesn't carry over account suffixes (I.e. @[instance]).

For example: if I find a post on posted by someone with an @ mastodon.social handle and reply to it using the picker from my handle on infosec.exchange, it will only carry over the @[handle] and not @[handle]@[instance] which is needed to properly address that account from the infosec.exchange instance.

Thanks!

What's the status on that whole thing? I forget the name of it / dev behind it. Crazy to think that could go live around the same time threads enables future bidirectional federation...

If there's a bright spot in federating it's being able to follow Soren. He publishes daily (running for over a year straight ๐Ÿคฏ) "funny app ideas" and is almost the sole reason I've even popped onto threads over the past few months. Now, I don't need to! (Unless of course to send him a message)

OK, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my confirmation emails to send using on a vanilla install. Halp!

The test email sends just fine during the setup wizard but then nothing from there =(.

I didnโ€™t buy that Meta was hiding Pixelfed references the last time they were accused of doing it, either.

It would just be so petty for something that has a sliver of the userbase Instagram does.

Meta does not see Pixelfed as a threat.

How do we think will play with single-user instances in the Fediverse? I'm considering standing one up and using it as my main point-of-presence but curious whether future threads users will be able to see single-user instances or if Meta will simply auto-mod those out for some reason...

sass,
@sass@mastodon.social avatar

@benpate yeah I don't know. Maybe they would see it as a vector for less-moderated bad actor types and figure they wouldn't be cutting off too many folks by mass blocking? I haven't heard anything about them doing this nor do I have any reason to think they would but was curious what others felt.

sass, to selfhosted
@sass@mastodon.social avatar

Is there a really solid tutorial on getting a Mastodon server up and running (on a VPS or self-hosted at home) that someone could recommend? Interested in running a single-user/small instance long-term.

@nadiaalbelushi@mastodon.social avatar

I don't for the life of me understand why doesn't just become a instance or an alternative. It should ditch ATProto and embrace the ActivityPub . It can't sustain itself this way without turning into another enshittified version of down the road. Just join ActivityPub so that we can have 5 mil more users; so that Bsky users can communicate with ppl on Lemmy, Mastodon, etc; and so that you can become crowdfunded a la Wikipedia and Mastodon, etc.

@nadiaalbelushi I don't have the toot in front of me but I think i remember seeing something from AP devs about improving account portability stuff which if so, would solve for bskys main reason to have shipped ATproto instead of going with AP. But who knows how far off fixing that at the protocol level for AP is if it is actually on a roadmap somewhere.

Headโ€™s up! In a week, Iโ€™ll be migrating @atomicpoet to my Akkoma server. That is, Iโ€™m consolidating that account with @atomicpoet.

In my experience, while most followers get moved during account migrations, not all of them do so. Therefore, if you want to ensure that you continue to follow me, pre-emptively follow @atomicpoet prior to the migration.
