mastodon
Retro.pizza is a nerd culture Mastodon server where we strive to uphold the values of the fictional heroes we admire: to value diversity like the X-Men, to be as kind as the Doctor, to defend the weak like Optimus Prime and fight against fascism like Princess Leia.

Hey everyone! 
If you’re looking for a community of gamers which is also dedicated to the Fediverse, then look no further than #TheGamersTavern!
We welcome everyone to our community, and love to talk about gaming, tech, and everything inbetween.
We currently self-host instances of these services:
#Mastodon
#PeerTube
#Owncast
#Matrix - (bridged with #Discord)
You can find all the links here! - https://linktr.ee/thegamerstavern
We’d love to see you there. 💜
Dúvida: vcs acham que no #Mastodon as instancias deveriam permitir canais de pornografia (ainda que usando CW), atuem na rede? A exemplo: https://mastodon.social/@cornosecuckokds . Honestamente, penso que não! Fiz a denuncia:
I do like how the missing alt text icon is now more prominent, but I do wonder if this is enough to get people to add descriptions to their images.
I actually opened an issue addressing this last year.

PSA for everyone on Mastodon: You don't need to use link shorteners. All links count as 23 characters, no matter what.
All a link shortener does is keep people from seeing where the link goes*. Many of us will refuse to boost posts with shortened links precisely because of this.
Please, just put the actual link in your post!
* And make your link become useless if the link shortening service ever goes away for any reason.)
You want a fast-growing dominant social network owned by a billionaire made to extort you for profit.
I want a thoughtfully-built, community-grown social ecosystem made to connect people.
We are not the same.
What’s your favorite Mastodon client for iOS?
There are a bunch of good ones, but I haven’t found any of them to rival Tusky, imo

Since #Firefish is becoming unmaintained, I need to find new fedi instance software. My choices as I understand them:
- Some similar Misskey fork such as #Sharkey, #Iceshrimp (but they're ongoing a rewrite?), something else..? Advantage is that in theory I can migrate my current instance without having to create a new fedi identity. But the risk is that the next fork will also become unmaintained due to lack of developers.
- #Akkoma. It's faster and lighter than #Mastodon, but I don't like the default UI and would use the Glitch-soc multi-column UI. I don't know if that works without issues on it, but it seems to be bundled in? Also don't know how active Akkoma is.
- Mastodon. It's apparently heavy to run (no experience), but overwhelmingly the most supported and the most likely to be maintained into the future. Downside (which Akkoma also has) is that I need to create a new fedi identity, as apparently other instances won't accept me just switching to Mastodon and keeping the same identity. That would be some hassle, especially as my old Fosstodon/GenServer.social accounts point to my current identity, which would disappear (maybe I could set up a redirect with Caddy).
- GoToSocial. This is very unknown to me, and it doesn't come with a UI?
- Something else?
Thoughts?

It's been verified - Mastodon Featured Profiles are returning from the dead. Are you ready? I built a tool to view and update your picks.
It is my personal and professional opinion, not to fund or further trust the Starkey Development.
I am out 1,000 bucks and that is my own doing. My fault. My stupidity.
But the development may be toxic with some not so nice individuals. The software, I like. You're likely using the software too (It's good, isn't it? I think so). But I do believe there are some toxic people you may not want to be associated within the development.

Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 26.09.2024, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!
Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Eingeladen sind auch alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind. Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: kommt noch
Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Es wird nicht ausschließlich um Mastodon gehen, denn die Welt des Fediverse ist weitaus größer. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

💡 Acabei lembrando-me de experimentar algo... que, para minha grande surpresa, fez-me ficar preocupado e até envergonhado:
Tentei abrir 
pelos navegadores Dillo (GUI simples) e Lynx (CLI).
🚫 Não é possível ler absolutamente **nada**! #Mastodon exige JavaScript para exibir qualquer texto! 😱
Akkoma, Sharkey: idem.
Lemmy: carrega dados secundários, mas sem ligações para páginas de conteúdo. É possível ler o conteúdo se souber qual URL abrir diretamente.

@trunksapp I'm having trouble figuring out the trending tab in the #trunksapp. Once I scroll to a point, there's no more posts. Is that a loading issue or would I be doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.
