Server admins!

If you're creating custom emoji, remember to fill in the section marked "Shortcode" with a short text description of the emoji. Blind people's screen reader software will be able to read the shortcode aloud so that they can hear what the emoji is.

If the emoji's shortcode includes multiple words, split them up with underscores like_this or CamelCase, so that screen readers will be able to read each word correctly.

I'm currently wading through the list of "unavailable" servers in the Mastodon admin interface. A lot of single user instances went away, seemingly recently.

On the upside: Found at least one instance which was marked "unavailable" but is seemingly still there. πŸ™‚

:mastodon: :mastodon_oops: I know many of us have mentioned this inconsistency, but I couldn't find an existing issue for it today so made one.

If your instance has a user (or domain) on Limited status, posts from that user or domain can appear on the Home timeline if boosted by a 3rd user that your account follows.

Discussion and comments encouraged!

There is a solution to issues caused by that really works: it's degrowth.

If you reject it, you are probably not interested in solving any problem. You are just afraid of losing your power.

What's the tool that some folks have been using to migrate posts to a new Mastodon server?

@rysiek

see calckey.social/notes/9hny27vmn

it would have been nice if they had tagged this and/or . Probably safe to say that "All Fediverse Admins" are not following that account.

πŸ€” It's interesting that the only Fediverse admins I hear complaining about the difficulty of moderation are those who choose to make large instances that don't screen their users.

Or am I missing something?

@ylove We’re going to need a name for the subset of the that actually moderates CSAM. This statement is as meaningful as β€œApache, nginx web servers rife with CSAM”.

:mastodon: 🐧 , have you seen any good write-ups with notes, problems, or successes on installing mainline Mastodon on RPM-based Linux distributions?

Who does recommend for instance custom artwork these days?

@chrismessina please remember: you can get CSAM from any instance you federate to, or relay with. I hope your moderation work isn’t a thankless job, but this part will never be fun.

Seriously thinking about hosting a personal instance of Mastodon for my own use. I’d like to control where and who gets federated and stuff like that. Would use a hosting service. Any downsides?

What is the sort order for results to searches on a Mastodon instance? Is it essentially random? Is there some attempt at weighting?

I wish I could sort it by recency but I can't see any obvious way to do that. I just want to find some thing I know I starred in the last couple of days... I guess I can look at my stars, they're in order, but then I can't search them there...

Is it just me or has v4.1.3 not been pushed to ghcr.io? @Gargron

⚠️ To be clear, a critical update for is dropping the same day is launching .

πŸ”Ž As always, you shouldn't install software updates until you've verified what is changing. Even when (especially when?) you're told it's an emergency.

@admin That's not a bot; it's the system account for the instance. All of your reports forwarded from other instances come from the system account in this way.

If you have concerns about the reports, best advice is to seek out the admin accounts for the instance in question.
