Most #nitter #instances seem #defunct ?!

nitter.fdn.fr won't render #profiles #correctly

Ugh.
Guess I need to pull my #Switch #Screenshots #manually...

I see a lot of people talk about creating a second or third or fourth account to follow different #instances. Why not just create a list for different local instances/timelines, like this?
#fediverse

@Gary_Host @mastohost @feditips Small instance owner here, no relays added because I tought it would be overkill. I trigger the #federation by following people on others #instances and #boosting posts. It's slow and organic but a month later I really see how far the federation is going and it's truly pleasant (again IMO).

For the visibility part, if what you're posting is intresting and found foot in your followers, it will gain visibility trought the boosts.Hope you find the right place 4 u

Fun. I just used the tool here to see the connections I have made to different instances across the Fediverse. Surprised by the huge list! (this is just the first page. Over 500 total) Biggest source of connections is mstdn.ca of course because Canada 🇨🇦 :)

@Zumbador

Yes.
Especially on smaller #instances, use "open on original #instance
There really needs to be a way to #force all #messages to be loaded...

It's a #good thing non #popular #instances are not #scrutinized for #copyright #stuff as much...

Otherwise you,'d probably find me #assassinated in a #nearby #parkinglot by the

#Music #Industry #goons for
"Sharing valuable musicz"

(I bet they'd put a #vinyl with the #engraving "don't steal our s#%+ " next to their target as a kinda deterrent )

One thing that's been pretty cool about #Mastodon after using it for a while is how many smaller, more intimate #instances I see in people's usernames. When I first joined mastodon, it felt like *everyone* was on mastodon.social, but over the last year and a half, people have found their niches and filled them out appropriately. It makes me feel warm inside when I see a new instance url in someone's name that I had never seen before. That's the #federation working as intended!

@mairin It's #unfortunate, and I hope you do whatever lets you use the #language(s) of your choice freely.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, many #instances have English-only (or other single-language-only) #rules because they fear #legal #liability because of their inability to effectively #moderate or respond to complaints about #content posted in a language they cannot understand.

So anyone: if you moved #instances and therefore fell off my #lists that I manually check to see what's going on with people, I did not mute you!

I just happen to follow a Niagara Fall's worth of accounts (over 5K) and haven't seen you whizzing past. LMK you are still there if I haven't seen you in a while!

Seeing quite a few toots circulating the #Fediverse again about #Mastodon #instances going to shut down. If you're on one of those instances, feel free to take a look at what CosmicNation.co has to offer. https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/about

#migration

is there a list of #fediverse #instances with high character limits?

I mean, if this is true, that #Elon destroyed #Twitter precisely because #black voices were being too well represented ...

Doesn't that mean the #Fediverse is the ideal alternative? Where folk can run their own #instances?

The Fediverse has a Mental Health Problem

Over the past year the Fediverse has experienced significant growth, and this comes at a very real cost: Mental Health.

#Ciao a tutti!! :blobcheerbounce:

Since I have some #friends in #instances that block #qoto, have decided to create a secondary #account in one which has an higher #reputation on the #fediverse.
Will use both, this will be a more general one so keep them both if you want the whole of it! I plan to stay active in both :blabcatverified:

Have chosen to create it here on #mstdn because I've been following @stux for quite a while now, and never fails to put a #smile on my face! :ablobcatnomcookie:

I like toot.io but the 500 character limit is getting very tiresome because of the importance of hashtags. Anyone got suggestions for other instances that also don't have overly trigger happy moderators but do have a longer limit?
Thanks!

So ... Can there be different #instances that use the #firefish set up or protocol or whatever?

Like #Mastodon?

@kissane the “stressed and anxious when they get yelled at for breaking rules” part speaks to me. It’s my least favorite thing about #Mastodon - I don’t care if you think I should do an intro post or use alt tags or whatever. It’s my time, my post, my choice. I’m not going to lecture people about how they use their own stuff - and that was unfriendly of people to do to me when it was already hard enough to figure out Mastodon in the first place. (Yes, #Instances are hard too..)

Is NAS a commonly blocked / muted instance? Or do authoritarians and leftists on the fediverse just not like discussion/debate?

I seem to never get buy in when I want to be challenged on my ideas.

@ninokadic ye mean less populated #instances than the one yer currently on? 🤔 The one I'm on is absolutely great for me, I have seen other instances that would also suit me too, but I'm not inclined to move, as I know the admin, Trumpet, is active & looking after it. Find the one ye think suits ye best. Social is highly populated, only of its own making, doesn't mean it's popular...

@jkerrison

There are those who would say that Mastodon dot Art has a very twitchy, quick trigger finger, which they use inconsistently

All-the-while not being the best Fediverse citizen themselves
