Every morning, an instance administrator wakes up knowing they need to keep the infrastructure running smoothly for their users, ensuring a good and free social experience.
Every morning, a Fediverse user wakes up knowing they will find many people eager to socialize and interact, who strive to keep the Internet a place for the free exchange of ideas and opinions, away from the dynamics of closed protocols and Big Tech monetization.
It doesn't matter if you are a server administrator or a Fediverse user, thank you for being here and for contributing every day with your efforts to keep the Internet a free place.
How do people meaningfully search and/or export their #Mastodon favourites? I've been favouriting (not bookmarking) a bunch of useful and/or interesting stuff since I came here, but the data seems difficult to access in a useful way.
When I use my instance's website, there's no search facility on the Favourites page. It only loads a subset of favourites upfront, so without pressing the "load more" button hundreds of times, I can't use my screen reader's find feature either.
When I try the favourites timeline of Semaphore, it also only loads a subset of my favourites, but apparently without a means of loading more of them.
In Mona on iOS, I would likewise have to keep finding, and then pressing, "load more posts".
When I try to find information on the internet about possible qualifiers for searching my own favourites, I get results about API calls and installing Elasticsearch as an instance owner.
In the "import/export" section of my account preferences, it doesn't say anything about favourites, and doesn't make it clear whether my posts archive would include them.
I'm not exactly sure how it's happened, but it's pretty cool I can see Bluesky accounts talking on here.
It seems a shared interest in the misfortunes of the Nazi Bar has bridged the technical divide somewhere. #Twitter#Mastodon#Bluesky
@Lazarou One very hardworking open source developer (not affiliated with Bluesky) made a "bridge" thing which let people post from one side to the other (basically it creates kind of "mirror" accounts on the other side which clone the posts, translating links, mentions etc.): https://snarfed.org/2024-05-04_52915
Nitter is not dead. The alternative twitter/x front-end,is still working. Yes, now there are just a few public instances (nitter.poast.org is one of them), but with just a basic linux and docker knowledge you can self-host your own private instance.
Inzwischen ist mir klar, dass ich zwar nicht immer fair diskutiere, das Entgleisen von Gesprächen aber nicht von mir kommt.
Und damit habe ich meine Ruhe gefunden.
This is from posting pretty much solely on #MECFS , #LongCovid and related conditions and to a lesser extent chronic illness in general, which shows it is possible to build up followings on them, in case people either gave up on them or never tried.
@tomkindlon@longcovid@mecfs As someone with #fibromyalgia I find that we're mostly forgotten in the chronic illness community. While I would love to connect more, I have stopped talking about it because it's considered the "hysteria" of the modern era. I have some unique theories on what caused mine. But there is a much larger community around some illnesses than others.
Getting a larger number of followers is helpful when you're trying to provide information about an illness (ME/CFS, myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) that affects millions of people but is still not very well known. ME/CFS is often is not even taught in medical schools.
An #MEAction advocacy campaign called "Teach M.E., Treat M.E." is trying to correct this problem:
Russia's Medvedev published a lengthy threat to NATO countries and "Former Ukraine", as he calls it.
Russia always increases threats when Ukraine's Allies make decisions that will directly impact the course of the war. That is a clear sign that the decision is right!
I remember at one point there was a website that asked a few basic questions and then suggested a #Mastodon instance that fit the criteria. Can anyone remember what it was?
Basically I want like...
Moderated? Yes/No
Allows nudity? Yes/No
Allows politics/activism? Yes/No
Blocks Meta? Yes/No
Legal policy? Europe/North America/China
Has a nice short instance URI? Yes/No
L'interface "tweetdeck-like" est désormais dispo sur Threads pour tout le monde.
Même si c'est mille fois moins puissant que certains clients en colonne pour Bluesky ou le Fediverse et que ce "Pour vous" de chie est invirable, j'avoue que ça met un gros coup à la concurrence.
(et RIP l'interface en colonnes par défaut de Mastodon qui prend une nouvelle fois un siècle dans la face)
