i’m using for mastodon on my iphone, and i’ve noticed that non-iphone emoji don’t display. for example:

:fediverse:

i think that’ll parse for y’all as the logo, right? for me it’s just the word “fediverse” with a colon on each side.

i’m unclear on whether these are mastodon-specific emoji, or instance-specific. it’s not the end of the world if ivory can’t display them, but it would be nice to have. am i doing something wrong, or is this maybe a future feature?

@mishamouse I think they are instance specific.

Single Directory Components as Site Building Tools (video.mateuaguilo.com)

Single Directory Components are an exciting new tool for developers. However, putting components in a page still requires a developer editing some Twig code to embed it. What if front-end developers could build in writing a library of components, that site builders can put in the page. In this video I will start exploring some...

holy shit - according to https://fedidb.org/network/instance/kbin.social - in 14 days, they went from less than 10k users to over 40k users. migration from seems to be real!

@sri When I joined over a month ago it was in hundreds I think. It is literally still in the prototype stage.

Evolving PHP (June 2023) via php[architect] (www.phparch.com)

Over the past several months, I’ve reflected a lot on my experience as a PHP developer. Specifically, I’ve shared with some friends that I couldn’t have predicted that this is where I would be when I was younger. So many aspects of my job didn’t exist back then, including the Internet as we know it […]

Not anymore. It seems like the default template now forces me into going along with the entire . The option to install Svelte without SvelteKit has been strategically de-moted inside the documentation: https://svelte.dev/docs/introduction#start-a-new-project-alternatives-to-sveltekit

@preslavrachev That's a shame. Thanks for sharing the link.

It'd be cool if had a way to log in with your accpunt on another AP server. Like, if I wanted to check out kbin it'd be nice if I could reuse my mastodon account.

@mauve You can! Just subscribe to a magazine (ex. @Symfony) or follow a user (@symfonystation).

What's the current choice of software for Mastodon or similar microblogging in the ? Mastodon itself? Pleroma? Misskey? GoSocial? Takahe?
I'd set up a single account instance for myself and some bots.

@antondollmaier Calckey is growing fast. And kbin let's you do threading and microblogging from the same account.

Drupal 7’s End-of-Life Has Been Extended. You Still Need To Migrate ASAP! Via Chapter Three (www.chapterthree.com)

Just because Drupal 7 will be supported until January 2025 doesn’t mean all its bits and pieces will be – in fact some D7 modules are already no longer supported. Furthermore, as of August 1 of this year, support for moderately critical and lower severity security issues will be significantly reduced, with security releases...

@giallo I like the “to quote myself from earlier‘, so I will as well.

I want to address the uproar in the Fediverse about preemptively blocking the Meta ActivityPub product. And whether it should be at the instance or individual user level. A variety of reasons for and against this have been given.

At the moment, I would go with the latter. But no matter the arguments, the reason every single Fediverse user should block it is that Meta is a box of c*nts.

They have always been a box of c*nts. And they will always be a box of c^nts. Meta should be trusted as far as I can kick Zuck. About six feet. They will immediately or eventually try to enshitify whatever product they launch. At that point, administrators should block them at the instance level.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the Easter Bunny is real.

Do I need to remind anyone these are the mofos greenlighting the spread of misinformation of all types, science denial, propaganda from the enemies of democracy, conspiracy theories from every lunatic on earth, election stealing, suicide instigation for teenagers, and the mass genocide of Muslims in Myanmar?

xavieryaa, to fediverse

I just joined here and I'm so incredibly confused, to be honest.

How exactly can I follow communities from other 'spaces' in the fediverse? I'm trying to follow the bisexual community on lemmy.world and it says to copy/paste !bisexual in the search bar of whatever you're using, but that comes up with nothing here.

I'm very lost and also very stupid. Please help.

@xavieryaa For Lemmy replace the ! with an @. @bisexual Then you should find it.

I made an account on Kbin, and I'm looking at posts from Lemmy and BeeHaw and Kbin and sometimes I forget to even check what the source is.

So am I accessing Lemmy through Kbin? Am I seeing the entire Fediverse through Kbin's interface? Am I reading Kbin, which gets its content from across the Fediverse?

In short, I'm wondering what the local terminology is for what I signed up for and what I'm seeing when I pull up Kbin.

@Usernameblankface Yes to all your questions.

Using jq with Drush to inspect state values in Drupal (mglaman.dev)

Drupal has a key-value database table that stores information about the current environment. The values stored are serialized PHP objects or arrays. That makes inspecting them nearly impossible by just querying the database. Luckily, Drush provides a state:get command for retrieving those values. This command unserializes the...

As a soon to be , what's the deal with ? My main question at the moment is how are communities coalescing on instances? Like, what's stopping 8 different instances from hosting a politics, funny, startrek, or canada community, and how do we manage to decide on where we talk about each?

@danielquinn Lemmy seems to be getting flooded by spam instances at the moment. So you might try kbin which also has microblogging capabilities.
