    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.

    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…

  • Dear #Mastodon: That thread should also be a blog post. Share the url of at the start of the thread. 🧵 I don't care where the post lives. I don't care if it's "a good thread trust me". If it was that good you should take the extra few minutes to make it a single…

  • With WordCamp Asia coming up I would like to do some old fashion quick live posting but the web interface of #Mastodon can't keep up based on previous experience. Tweetdeck on #Twitter can. A shame. Maybe an interface that posts to both. There used to be a live blog plugin for #WordPress (then in theory…

  • Reading more on search with #Mastodon. After reading about #Searchtodon and @anildash lastest piece I then read this one from @ben on his $0.02 and efforts to build a bot to detect scrapers. I'm still forming my opinions (maybe more on that later) but Ben covers a few corners of the discussion I haven't seen…

  • I used #WordPress to upload my #Mastodon posts (and my https://davidbisset.social site syncs with it fine). I cache 50k posts and works great. If you aren't a WP user (and want to go static 100%) then @richard@richard.social post might be of interest. "Creating a static Mastodon user’s archive" https://ricard.dev/creating-a-static-mastodon-users-archive/

  • Yeah so @ivory has become my primary social app on mobile. The tweetdeck experience on mobile sucks although i use it over the official app… but for the first time in forever Twitter on mobile is secondary. And although might be for some hard to hear Tweetdeck is still an overall better experience for me…

  • Yesterday told my wife offhandedly that I was tooting all weekend… …and today my calendar tells me that I have a gastroenterologist appointment next week. #Mastodon #Toot

  • I'm a advanced column layout user of #Mastodon but I do like and @elk "feels" a bit better if you want to stick with one column. Doesn't help with some of my cons of Mastodon but thinking this and @ivory might help really help those migrating from the T site to help more at home.…

  • As one who dipped their toes into #Mastodon in 2018 and got "into the pool" more in Oct I seem to see an increase in endless arguments and claims just difference of opinion as "hostile" (correct and not). Longer time M users telling newer people to effectively "get off their lawn". Same happens in #opensource.…

  • TIL about #Searchtodon experiment & (with it's closing) @janl excellent retrospective on it: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html I guess count me in regarding (1) ability to search my timeline for things I missed (I already save/sync my personal #Mastodon posts on https://davidbisset.social) and (2) Jan's last points – #Fediverse will only get bigger and for it's protection and…

  • Today from the @Medium CEO @coachtony on Medium "embracing" #Mastodon: https://blog.medium.com/medium-embraces-mastodon-19dcb873eb11

  • From the CEO: @Medium embraces #Mastodon blog.medium.com/medium-embrace…

  • #Mastodon client news: Looks like TapBots has put up roadmap for @ivory. Only one item checked off the list so far. https://tapbots.com/ivory/

  • This probably makes some #Mastodon super fans particularly happy. #Twitter co-founder Evan "Ev" Williams: "I’m "tinkering" with Mastodon,… I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong.., but my Twitter experience isn’t as great [recently]. I don’t know if it’s the people that I follow aren’t tweeting anymore or what’s happening” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-01-12/elon-musk-s-twitter-drives-even-its-early-employees-to-mastodon

  • Interesting: @FollowerTimesApp (MastodonFollowerTimes) is a Microsoft Windows Desktop Application that you can use to find the best times to post on #Mastodon.

  • Full #RSS feeds for #Mastodon Instances with OpenRSS https://boffosocko.com/2023/01/10/full-rss-feeds-for-mastodon-instances-with-openrss/

  • My https://davidbisset.social is about as finished as it will be. The side project and experiment has been an overall success. I used #WordPress to pull my #Mastodon, #Twitter, #Tumblr posts automatically and it also stores items from Instagram, LinkedIn with Flickr coming soon enough. #RSS Particularly proud of the timeline on the homepage. https://davidbisset.social/about/

  • In the interest of sharing here’s what i was expecting to see (that’s not a slam just the truth) in terms of other takes regarding the #Mastodon Guardian article i was referencing earlier. https://newsie.social/@jeff/109653652542438711

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Finally you might say "I don't care I like #Mastodon" That's fine. NOTHING wrong w/ that. I'm using it. Most are content. But M has cons I think need addressing (QT not a priority). There's no future where M is "the winner" because there isn't going to be a winner in…
