Iāve been experiencing a number of symptoms on this account for several weeks, at least.
Outbound toots are delayed by a great deal (~1h). They donāt show up on othersā TLs until long after Iāve posted. I suspect this varies by the other instance. I sometimes get much faster responses from certain users despite a general, overall delay of about an hour.
When there is a reaction or response to a post, I first see it on the Notifications tab in the UI (web or app) & often more or less right away. Then much later (typically an hour or so), a push notification shows up.
I suspect this has something to do with my instance, c.im, though the status page is always green. I wonder if it involves versions of #Mastodon or something (currently 4.4.3 on c.im). Iāve always assumed it would eventually clear up, but no sign of that yet.
So I think before long I may start another account. Idk if Iāll migrate this one or just have a second account. At least, maybe I can prove that the delay doesnāt follow the change of instance. Not sure what else it could be.
So Iāll go digging again, but in case anyone has opinions, any recommendations for new instances? I want to avoid the big, populous ones like mastodon.social. I chose c.im in part for high limits on posts (8 poll options, 5k char limit, etc). I also use the search function extensively. I think itās not available by default, so not every instance has it. (Not sure if thatās right.)

Flipboards CEO @mike McCue hat mit @1E9tech darĆ¼ber gesprochen und zum ersten Mal spannende Einblicke mit der deutschsprachigen Community geteilt.

The new version of @mastowatch is in #Testflight!
The navigation scheme for the app has been totally rebuilt and feels *awesome* in iOS 26. The prior version immediately feels ancient by comparison.
This version also includes maybe the most requested feature ever, iCloud syncing for favorites! History is still stored on your device but favorites should sync to any device running the new version.

Almost 4 years ago Mastodon, and by extension the Fediverse, became and continues to be essentially my sole social media platform.
A significant factor in this was when I discovered Pinafore and immediately fell in love. You know when you use software that just *feels* right, like Corel Paradox or Turbo Pascal and so on?
I was using Paradox daily at a former employer sixteen years after Corel ceased active development, and it could very well still be in use there today. Pinafore quickly became as vital for me as Paradox was for the more than eight years I worked there.
Unfortunately Pinafore's creator archived the project, but it lives on in various forks, of which I hopped from one to the next as each one eventually became archived, or dormant, or disappeared altogether (Anyone remember Mahoot?).
It's almost like the project is cursed, because I know of at least half a dozen Pinafore variants that all started out with great intentions and noticeable activity but eventually fell silent.
At least.. a year ago maybe? a bug was introduced somewhere along the line that caused buffers to hang if any posts fall under a "hide with warning" filter were found. Watching the spinning circle of dots endlessly loading, refreshing because *sometimes* that fixed things, as it triggered a BPD meltdown in me countless times.
Other issues or lacking vital new features (translation, editing a post, etc.) caused me to very reluctantly try other front-ends but I just couldn't deal with it. I even tried consciously *forcing* myself to use the other ones and despite the aforementioned buffering problem, I found Pinafore and its successors *less* maddening than these other interfaces. (No offense to the other front-ends; they're all amazing projects and work great for some people, but for whatever reasons they just don't work well for me.)
As I mentioned before, the Pinafore-style interface just fit my needs perfectly. So I just continued to be frustrated because I didn't have the knowledge/experience.
Yesterday, however I discovered @dome 's new Pinafore fork, Zocial. (Pinafore -> Semaphore -> Enafore -> Zocial). It's available at https://zocial.ztfr.eu.
True, Zocial is generated using Claude, but this seems like the only practical opportunity for us to have to attain a fully-operational Pinafore-style interface. I honestly believe it's a matter of accessibility because no other front-end has given me the freedom to learn about the Fediverse more than Pinafore.
Maybe I'm being a selfish, neurotic, myopic Goldilocks. I have no rebuttal for those accusations and I apologize for disappointing anyone, but the Fedi is basically my makeshift warm line and I need to keep that as easy for me to use as possible because I can't function without it.
Yes, I know.. "just don't use it!" Yes, I realize if Nolan Lawson had never developed Pinafore, life would go on. Life would also continue if we'd never invented defibrillators, but they sure are handy sometimes.
@dome fixed the above-mentioned bug, and a couple of others, in a matter of minutes today. It feels like finally being rid of a sore tooth. I hadn't realized just how infuriated I was becoming rather than coping.
Look, if someone wants to fork Enafore and repair the bugs that Claude already took care of, I'll almost certainly follow because with all due respect to @dome, I trust a human programmer more than I trust AI output.
However, that just doesn't seem to be possible. We're humans, and humans (understandably) have lives that aren't always congruent to dev plans.
But I personally *need* this interface to work. I love it. Surely I can't be the only one either, with so many people making forks of Pinafore.
So.. it's up to you dear reader (if you're even still awake) to decide if you want to try Zocial, but as for me I've already jumped head-first into it, slop or not.

There's a renewed conversation around the lack of options for migrating post history when you move to a new Mastodon server.
And seeing a few people mentioning how this can be a reason for folks to give up on the fediverse when their server shuts down, I hope the Mastodon team will prioritize this.

Tag groups on @IceCubesApp are I think the best feature Iāve encountered on #mastodon. Was looking at a tag group for LFC but got to the top & no more thought Iād check my main feed incase there was non-tagged stuff there saw stuff about the F1 I donāt want to see about until later & quickly swapped back to my tag group.

Dear @Gargron,
A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.socialās second server rule:
ā2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobiaā¦
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.ā
Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?
Thank you.
PS. Itās run by these guys: https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/
