mastodon

  • In reply to @davidbisset. And for the record, I do think #Mastodon is a success DESPITE the issues I observe with it (onboarding, etc.).

  • In order for #Mastodon to succeed Twitter doesn't have to fail.

  • One Foot in #Twitter and One in #Mastodon https://pxlnv.com/linklog/twitter-mastodon-straddle/ "Twitter does not need to lose for Mastodon to become a successful network; it already is successful for many people, despite — or perhaps because of — its size."

  • For some reading this on #Mastodon some of this might fall into "hard to swallow pills" meme territory but i'm mostly agreeing with @andy on most of on why #Mastodon although still superior long-term… is a little icky lately. https://andy-bell.co.uk/i-think-im-not-alone-that-mastodon-is-giving-me-the-ick/ It's mainly seeing how someone references "birdsite" and the "we are trying so much not…

  • Good read: @glitch Community’s Guide to Building the #Fediverse (Beyond #Mastodon, Tools, search, bots, etc): blog.glitch.com/post/glitch-co…

  • With Twitter getting more wacky, I highly recommend @reckless interview of Eugen Rochko CEO of #Mastodon. I love how “benevolent dictator for life” comes up. Audio and transcript: theverge.com/23658648/masto…

  • Reposting for my #Mastodon #WordPress folks: Me and my daughter are thinking new things to add to https://wpfront.page. 👉🏻 Show speaker application status of WordCamps (when call for speakers is open).👉🏻 Leaderboard of #WordPress news sources and reporters (like https://techmeme.com/lb). Any other ideas? 🤔 Bird site URL: https://twitter.com/dimensionmedia/status/1634271604728377345

  • If you just need a curated list of #WordPress related tweets and #Mastodon posts check this out once a day: wpfront.page/#noteablesocial Also if you aren’t on this list, ping me or @lemonadecode: twitter.com/i/lists/113555… and follow @wpfron…

  • Interesting. Kind of similar to #Mastodon but I think (at first glance anyway) more readable. Domain Names as Handles in #Bluesky: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2023-domain-names-as-handles-in-bluesky I haven't gotten access yet but i want to give it a try.

  • Hey #WordPress folks on #Mastodon if you want your posts here to be considered for https://wpfront.page all you need to do is follow: @wpfrontpage It's a "bot" but hasn't gotten fully automatic yet. But the Mastodon posts you see on https:wpfrontpage are because that bot bookmarks them. 🔖 Traffic on the site has been good…

  • Untitled post 55773

    So far the most active part of https://wpfront.page has been the "noteable in social". Hopefully more people will discover #WordPress related posts and conversation in #Mastodon as they visit from Twitter.

  • I'm getting "hitting rate limits" warnings and "rate limited: come back after X time" messages. I'm not sure why. I haven't posted much. A few of my recent posts went a little viral but I can't imagine that's it. Is phpc.social having issues? #mastodon

  • Is there an easy or straight forward way via #WordPress shortcode or PHP (outside editor) to embed a #Mastodon post that is "correctly sized" (an iframe w/ a set height isn't going to cut it which is what "embed" in my Mastodon web client does). This would be someone else's Mastodon posts taken from a…

  • https://streetpass.social/ is another way to find people on #Mastodon… when you visit blogs and sites it will build a list of Mastodon users when it finds a verified link.

  • #Twitter is still much more helpful when it comes to local or area news (natural disasters for instance). I feel it's nature/structure makes this a pro at the moment. Wouldn't mind seeing #Mastodon instances devoted to this type of information but even then discovery would be a bit problematic or just not as easy. 🤔

  • A list of Twitter bots migrating to #Mastodon (there are multiple lists being done but this one is promising). docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

  • If you were going to use movetodon.org to find those you follow here over at #Mastodon, looks like #Twitter has cut off the API early according to it’s creator @Tibor https://mastodon.social/@Tibor/109800904950500383 So instead of next week, Twitter seems to be cutting off API access now w/o notice.

  • Someone brought up a good point today: If you were planning on moving or joining #Mastodon and finding our peers from Twitter, do it before the API expires Feb 9th. Movetodon.org and similar tools might be harder to use or not exist at all.

  • In constrast to Twitter, #Mastodon has at least on space devoted to (fun, safe, legal) bots for free. It’s at: botsin.space/about Again, pros/cons to Mastodon but it sure seems like trend of fun/useful tools and bots will continue over there. …

  • So is there a place on #Mastodon that just an instance for bots (in particular if you want to experiment with them)?

  • Untitled post 55066

    Feels like early Web 2.0 days again as I test out #Mammoth iOS app for #Mastodon. Next to @ivory and Ice Cubes. One cool feature is that you can place a Mastodon post in AR. So as I tested this out I had @film_girl right now on my desk in front of my (needs to…

  • I see @digitalocean has launched it’s “Developer Center” – seeing videos from @chris__sev and others, plus guides to installing #Mastodon and other items. Their docs have always been good and looks like this adds to it. digitalocean.com/blog/in…
