Is there a reason the Mastodon Android app has had active development but no release for months? Several fixes plus big new headlining features in Mastodon 4 just aren’t here. Someone opened an issue and it was closed saying it wasn’t the place to ask.

@Gargron that's great to know, I like the official Android app, but the lack of updates regarding it while reading so much about the iOS app was worrying me. 😅
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Plz consider writing on the joinmastodon website AND on the android/ios descriptions of the apps to ask people to use the mobile/web site instead of the apps for the time being. We are losing a LOT of new users because the app doesn't work well. Lots of complains about it. Plz tell ppl to use the web for now. It needs to be written on all the pages/sites where the app is available, so people know what to do from the get go, before they get a bad first impression.

Pride Toronto, misdirection of funds, settler-colonialism

It has come to light that #PrideToronto has, at time of publishing, willfully misdirected at least CA$2,850,000 of federal grant money that was meant for #Indigenous #artists. What's more, the various federal agencies who failed to prevent this have been unwilling to hold #PrideTO accountable.

Shout out to Tom Hooper for investigating this and making the results and sources public at pridegrants.ca.

Made a simple #breakout #PCB for the #UVC #led I found on Amazon, with ample room to add #filtering #circuitry and #current limiters later. The part is way too small to hand solder without experience so a cheap #PCBWay breakout is in order. Arriving Monday. Gotta love a quiet evening #tinkering 😀

Just want to say thanks for the 15K followers. It's amazing how calming it can be for me as an artist to know that my biggest audience is on the Fediverse right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who contributed to this.

Hello new people! 👋

I run a human-curated directory of interesting accounts to follow on here:

➡️ fedi.directory

Do you have an account that posts a lot about a particular topic? Would you like to be listed in the directory?

If so, @ me or send me a DM and let me know!

(The site only went live a few days ago so some topics are less populated than others, but this is why I am working on expanding it!)

Boosts appreciated :blobcat:

Regarding the Master Rolodex idea you are implementing: I would like to be listed (this account obviously) at the "dogs" section for starters but your DM seemed to be locked. Here is the category I would like to be listed for starters fedi.directory/tag/dogs/

great initiative, thank you!

While the algorithms of other social media platforms push users to see feeds that push them deeper in their own bubble, mastodon users are self-herding within servers that show local feeds (as one option). #MedTwitter existed across the entire platform. #MedMastodon is over 70% happening within med-mastodon.com

Community of interest or more segregated from other audiences?

in reply to Ken Deutsch

I think it depends on the use cases for #MedMastodon. IMO communication among peers can be done by looking at the local timeline and ensuring peers outside the instance are being followed. Hashtags (on the other hand) are good for allowing folks across multiple instances to participate even if they follow noone. I think the size of the fediverse can make hashtags not good for ongoing discussions as thread of conversation become lost in folks "broadcasting".

I'm gonna test Microsoft flight simulator 2020 using game pass streaming to the deck later. I found it almost unplayable on the Xbox because the controls were just too course, I'm curious to see if the deck does better.

I'll report my findings.

I can't believe I spent the time to throw this together: hastwitterfiledforchapter11yet… 🤣 I threw my back out tonight, so I was stuck on the couch and went, "If I don't hurry up and make the page, the answer will be 'yes' before I get to it."

On a side note: I really like the Atkinson hyperlegible font I used there, although it's not much text. I've had it bookmarked for over a year, but hadn't had a use case for it. (brailleinstitute.org/freefont)

2023 Is The Year Of Linux Wayland Gaming! #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/yXYWCUWDqss
in reply to Brodie Robertson

as far as I know, one of wayland's selling points is VSync all the time, therefore a reduced power consumption in some cases and so on the speech goes. If players didn't want that from the beginning, also we know that the wayland security model breaks important stuff in the linux desktop, such as severely limiting accessibility untill it almost becomes unusable(can't say much more because of the char limit), then what is wayland good for? I'm running gnome and plasma with wayland atm, for some reason my computer indeed feels faster, however I'm still wondering to this day, will the wayland transition be a good thing in the end? Imho, we just replaced a bad thing with another, a big distributed sweet of components communicating with rpc and sockets with a monolithic program that does many things and every such program has to implement most of the same things over and over, ipc hell now gets replaced with wlroots or whatever not providing enough functionality, etc.

Hey @simsaens the mastodon iOS code is here github.com/mastodon/mastodon-i…

Maybe @Gargron accepts contributions?

in reply to Dylan Sale

I hope so, I'd love to contribute some of my favourite iOS niceties to the app (like support for adding links to your reading list, drag and drop media)
in reply to Sim

We do accept contributions. Design changes need to be coordinated with our designer though. Our component design system is unfortunately not yet ready to be public.

I'm the opposite. I usually think people are joking when they say something absurd. õ__õ
