  • 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. šŸ¤”

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

  • 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 itā€™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. Itā€™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 itā€™s ā€œDeveloper Centerā€ – 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…

  • Espresso-Mastodon ( SlippingGitty/Espresso-Mastodon )

    A colorful userstyle which aims to make the Advanced Interface for Mastodon pretty! Created by SlippingGitty on Dec 07, 2022.

  • Again, I rarely directly quote from #Mastodon but this I think worth it for those who been on Twitter for a while. Keep hearing these reports from much more popular folks + I seem to be expericing it first hand. There are a few factors that coul…

  • "The end of the timeline era" from Alan Jacobs: https://blog.ayjay.org/the-end-of-the-timeline-era/ I thought was a thoughtful brief perspective on that #Mastodon and #Twitter really AREN'T that different functionality. I agree to REALLY experience the web you need to get beyond "timelines". #RSS is a good start. Blogs (and blogging) is another.

    So @vozercozer ALSO styles the "advanced" #Mastodon view and this looks pretty good. šŸ‘šŸ» https://github.com/SlippingGitty/Espresso-Mastodon If you're a TweetDeck user this might appeal to you. Does to me. Go #CSS!

  • Untitled post 52095

    So @vozercozer created a "userstyle" that makes @elk look more like the Twitter #macOS app. #Mastodon https://github.com/SlippingGitty/macOSElk-UserStyle

  • I have sadly seen a few old school #Mastodon folks speak out against this and a few other proposed features. But when thereā€™s demand developers will find a way to make it work. Just like in the early days of Twitter, things are being invented and reinvented. Overall, it was a net win for the…

  • For #FollowFriday I would love to add a bit more diversity in my tech #Mastodon list. Please share anyone but especially those in tech that fit that bill!

  • I thought #Mastodon was more chill than Twitter but the "fail whale" equivalent is working out some anger issues.

  • Untitled post 52080

    Trying out the Mammoth beta (iOS client for #Mastodon) from @JPEGuin. First things that I like off the bat is the colorful menu that comes up when you press and hold on an icon on the toolbar.

  • @ivory is getting a lot of attention right now (and rightfully so) but we are still living in an age similar to early days of #Twitter – apps and browser extensions doing a whole bunch of cool things with #Mastodon. I'm keeping and still using the following iOS apps: "Ice Cubes" (it's open source) from…

  • Iā€™m using several #Mastodon iOS apps right now. Ivory from @tapbots is my usual goto client (w/ ā€œMetatextā€ & the #opensource “Ice Cubesā€ as alts). Excellent summary from @viticci at @macstoriesnet on why itā€™s good. macstories.net/reviews/iv…
