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.

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.

I can finally show sketches of my new D&D character, Kalixti 💖
She's a sorcerer and I'm so excited to play her in this campaign!

🌱 My Neighbor Mastodon

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:

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?

Oh, since there are, like, lots of new people....

Hello! Do you work with Polaris ILS in your library? You do? Shweet! High five!

🙏

If you happen to be *that* person who also does database stuff, writing SQL code and such? I maintain a website of Useful Polaris SQL queries called...

Useful Polaris SQL.

Look, I tried to come up with something better but it is what it says on the tin. It's a place to find code you can use/modify/adapt to your own situations.

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)

(Many thanks to @freakazoid for the silly domain idea!)
