The (still experimental) #NewsCoSocial server is now running Lemmy v0.18 https://news.cosocial.ca/post/8753

For those on #CoSocialCa who are testing holler if something that was working stops working.

@matthieu_xyz @dweb groups are a different form / usage that aren’t the same. We’ll need to work on solutions for both.

We’re currently tagging the #DWeb group on #NewsCoSocial - that will reach opt-in people only.

Especially if the group posts don’t use hashtags! (Which they should if they want discoverability)

First weekly ops update

Thanks for all #CoSocialMeta feedback so far - keep it coming.

Job posting for a paid junior sysadmin role will go up next week

First member office hours by @alkatandan

@evan this is a really great point. Posted to #NewsCoSocial

@liaizon I do see it, it did make it's way to #NewsCoSocial https://news.cosocial.ca/post/2676, just not all the comments coming over (looks like only kbin comments)

@joelthetroll our intent is to offer more things, both experimental and permanent.

#NewsCoSocial is experimental right now, mostly as we see how we can run it and moderate it from remote posts.

All members will be able to login to whatever we run.

It turns out I can do extremely long posts by posting to #NewsCoSocial

Here's my response to a thread from a Lemmy.ca users asking about how all this fediverse stuff works and who pays for stuff.

Gave me an opportunity to talk about #CoSocialCa and how we're structured, as well as personally donating to LemmyCa through their Open Collective

Anyone #CoSocialCa experimenting with #NewsCoSocial (our test Lemmy instance), yes, it will hang/spin on sign up!

We'll approve your account and let you know and then you can login.
