Another thing that would be useful is local-only posting of polls (at least for admins and mods), @erikkemp brought up.

I agree! #localOnlyPosts are already available in Mastodon forks such as #GlitchSoc and #Hometown, but so far not in mainline Mastodon. Why? A feature request for this has been open since 2017: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/861

@vegos_f06 Es gibt ja schon lange so einige Forks von #Mastodon, die auch einige der von Mastodon-Usern oft so schmerzlich vermissten Funktionen bieten. u.a. #Ecko und #GlitchSoc :

@klausgesprochen ☝️🤓 aha, sehr interessant!
Gerne von Deinen Erfahrungen mit #Glitchsoc berichten!
Da gibt es ja ein paar interessante Feature mehr als bei Mastodon.
Ist das im #JoinFediverseWiki wohl noch aktuell?
https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Mastodon%3F/de#Was_sind_Mastodon_Forks_und_deren_Vorteile?

La localización es-AR de #MastodonGlitchEdition en #Crowdin ya está al 100%. :kirby_happy:

De hecho, actualmente es la única localización —por fuera de Asia— que está completamente finalizada. :rickroll:

#Glitch #glitchsoc #glitch_soc

¡Estoy a pleno con el #Fediverso! :fediverse:

Ya comencé a trabajar en #glitchsoc y el mes que viene haré lo mismo con #Soapbox.

Y si el día tuviera 30 horas, también me metería con #Hometown, #Smalltown o #Wildebeest, ¡qué tanto! :rickroll: Epa, quizás me mande para más adelante (no es mala esa tampoco, ¿eh? :thinkerguns:)

¡Es que el Fediverso es un vicio! ¡No hay con qué darle! :laptop_parrot:

¡No existís, Twitter! :birdsite: :acat_bop:

#Glitch #glitch_soc #MastodonGlitchEdition

Hey #MastoAdmin and specifically #GlitchSoc peeps, should the configuration (on either the Mastodon and Nginx side) for serving media files from object storage on Glitch-Soc be any different from running mainline #Mastodon ?

Does any #MastoAdmin know how to set up object storage for #GlitchSoc-Mastodon installed through #YunoHost? Specifically, where YunoHost gets its #NginX settings from?

(details downthread 👇 )

Really wish Masto-formal just had a Summary field by-default in the UI, or Title, rather than the CW button. The #ActivityPub field is called 'summary', and is the intended usage of it, for which I think content warnings are technically a summary, but that's not the only thing the field's for.

Calling it a 'summary' maybe doesn't make sense for 500 chars outside of content warnings or joke lead-ins, but certainly does when you can do 1000 or even 2000 (like blimps).

Musing yet again on swapping Blimps to the #glitchsoc fork to add in core features folks have been asking for on here, like text formatting. Hoping more admins start to either skip on core Mastodon if John Mastodon will continue to only care about mastodon.social and what he imagines small instance runners care about, or will start cumulatively putting a lot more pressure on him to do things so the network can properly be ActivityPub instead of MastodonPub.

@jim #AuthorizedFetch is one option, there's a short explanation at https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/07/05/meta-coming-to-the-fediverse/ and a bunch of discussion on the issue tracker of things one could do:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues?q=+%22authorized+fetch%22

I expect most experimentation in this area of #MastoDev will be from the forks, #Hometown and #Glitchsoc.

Anyone know if there is a #mastodon #glitchsoc edition community I can talk to like #discord or #matrix or #IRC ?

>Ask your admin if you want a particular emoji added to your server.

I have. Believe me, i have... 😜 🤭

#GlitchSoc #FOSS #Emojis #fossEmojis

@admin Three days ago my other #Instance, #TechLGBT, successfully migrated to the #GlitchSoc fork, & as a result my UX there has gone thru the roof [ie, it's ***wonderfully*** better than vanilla #Mastodon]. As such, each time now that i use *this*, my hitherto lovely #KolektivaSocial Instance, the UX is *figuratively* painful. #GlitchSoc has numerous nice bells & whistles, but *possibly* the single biggest "pain-point" now for me here in KolektivaSocial is the non-collapsed toot view, vs the control we have in GlitchSoc [see pic].

Not wanting to overtly flog a dead(?) horse, but the *other* lovely UX aspect in TechLGBT is that they added all my requested FOSS emojis 😉 whereas here unfortunately, tis still 🦗 🦗 🦗 [damn #FBI raid 😭].

🥺 🤞

**PS**: I wrote the above using #Markdown, which is another great feature in GlitchSoc. I know that my doing so was a waste of time here *atm*, but otoh all the Instances running GlitchSoc *will* see my formatting.

Hey #MastoAdmin peeps, does #GlitchSoc not have the option for individual users to block domains from the Federated timeline? Just did a comparison and while we confirmed the menu option exists for mainline Mastodon and Hometown, it doesn't seem to be there on Glitch. I installed Glitch for my husband's server, help me out of the doghouse here 🙏

(Version info downthread)

I often prematurely toot before I google. I should have just read first: https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

#glitchsoc #mastoadmin

Can any other #mastoadmin tell me if #glitchsoc or #hometown makes any changes to the Mastodon database, or is just application level changes? I'm interested in trying it out, but I don't want to be in a situation where I can't revert to stock Mastodon if for some reason I want to.

@admin Congratulations & thanks. Do you have any plans for adding `glitch-soc` #GlitchSoc like some other Instances have done? It brings users many very nice UX UI enhancements.

Well my #GlitchSoc instance well, Glitched. Running #Mastodon now. Working on redoing a few things here as well.

Top 3 features I want to see in #Mastodon:

1) Quote posts (apparently currently in development)
2) Local-only posts (already exists in #GlitchSoc, #Hometown, and #Calckey)
3) Post imports during account migration (also exists in Calckey)

I have a question about mastodon forks (like #hometown, #glitchsoc, are there more?) that allow local only toots; are those still publicly viewable on the web or is visibility hidden unless you’re logged into the instance? #fediverse #mastodon

hi fedi!

I've been idly thinking about trying a different fediverse microblogger, a la #pleroma, #akkoma, #misskey, even a mastodon fork like #glitchsoc, i kinda just wanna see what it's like not in mastodonland. I'd really like to hear what experiences you've had on any given client and instance, recommendations are more than welcome!!

bonus points if there's a good android app for whatever it is, i use megalodon right now and would really like to still have an app
