mastodon

  • 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…

  • 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. 👍🏻 https://github.com/SlippingGitty/Espresso-Mastodon If you're a TweetDeck user this might appeal to you. Does to me. Go #CSS!

    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 there’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…

  • I’m using several #Mastodon iOS apps right now. Ivory from @tapbots is my usual goto client (w/ “Metatext” & the #opensource “Ice Cubes” as alts). Excellent summary from @viticci at @macstoriesnet on why it’s good. macstories.net/reviews/iv…

  • "The Best Time to Own a Domain Was 20 Years Ago; The Second Best Time Is Today" https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/best-time-to-own-a-domain/ Pay ~$10/year and get your own "verification" on #Mastodon w/ "value you control". Love or put up with M, owning your own domain might be even more important than owning your own content with @jimniels post for…

    Trying out a “quote” feature from the newly installed Roam 3.0.0. Might be the best method of doing it currently #Mastodon (i'll find out after I post this). From @assaf https://mas.to/users/assaf/statuses/109745225512552289

  • What i'm liking about @ivory vs. advanced view with #Mastodon is that Ivory shows me the actual reply count to a post ("5") vs the web view "1+". Helpful for me to know how many reply a post is getting.

    https://davidbisset.social update: success… I almost think i've gone as far as I can go with archiving tweets. Thanks to Puppeteer and Browsershot I automatically take a screenshot of my tweet in case Twitter blocks embeds or goes down completely. My own personal Wayback Machine, kinda (don't know yet how to visit each tweet page automatically…

  • Love these CSS old school skins! 😍 #Playstation 1 style #CSS Framework, inspired by https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/ https://micah5.github.io/PSone Imagine using #Mastodon like this!

    Just did a test purchase from @ivory which got me bookmark abilities. It works. And what a cute #Mastodon!

  • Discovered: https://mastofeed.org that automates sending content from RSS/Atom feeds to your #Mastodon account.

    @mastodeck looks like an almost drop-in replacement for Tweetdeck (but of course for #Mastodon). A little rough around the edges but this a def. shot in replacing the "advanced view" i'm using now in my browser for Mastodon. https://mastodeck.com/

    I love the icon selections for @ivory and Ice Cubes IOS #Mastodon Apps. Want to see this trend continue in other apps.

  • Untitled post 51883

    Wow. #Twitter is getting a #Mastodon feature already.

  • Stumbling on https://toot.pics/ which claims to quickly and easily view #Mastodon media descriptions.

  • I know there isn't a "good" NATIVE #Mastodon app for the Mac, but is there at least a recommendation of something to post to M without the delay and studdering of the web client? 🤔

  • My $0.02 on MOST feature requests I've seen on #Mastodon: allow a (smart as possible) way to make it "official" or a "setting" because devs and apps will find a way (which might not be the best way or respecting something that should be respected). On the other hand, how apps tackle "unofficial" features might…
