  Hang on, do custom emoji from one Mastodon instance display on other instances?!

  Like a lot of IndieWeb-related efforts, I applaud the idea behind it, but am skeptical it'll ever find a big, diverse audience. It's generally too complex for non-geeky folks to use with too little value. I care about owning my content and digital preservation—most people don't!

  The same statement was probably made about personal computers and the World Wide Web...cherished by a core group of geeks only to become mainstream years later!

  My kingdom for restaurant websites which have a text-only one page version of the menu without so much javascript that google translate can't even parse it and nothing is copypastable. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2018/08/websites

  I have a sort of Mastodon Stockholm Syndrome where this starts to feel normal:

  1. See a post (toot) in my app timeline, want to view all replies.
  2. Open post.
  3. Click "View in Browser" to see post on its home server, which includes all replies.
  4. See a reply I want to favorite. Copy link to that reply.
  5. Paste URL into search box on my home instance. This adds the post to my home instances database.
  6. Fave reply.

• Seems like the best blogging system is the one you use.

  @danielpunkass Indieweb kids are saying that RSS isn't cool any more! What do I do?
  

  RSS works just fine for blogging and podcasts! It's just that it doesn't support the more modern stuff like replies, photos/videos, checkins, etc, so we've moved on to alternate solutions for those!

  I think Mastodon is finally mature because I'm seeing Medium articles being shared here that fill me with white hot rage

  I am attempting to upgrade my personal Mastodon instance from 2.0.0 to 2.1.x to 2.2.x to 2.3.x to the current version, 2.4.3. If this account disappears for a while, know that I'm in sysadmin hell

  @eay @_quinnO @waxpancake What's interesting, is that as I read Andy's thread, I could have as easily substituted @microdotblog for Mastodon & said much the same thing. While hooking your own site into it de novo may be a hurdle, for $5/mo the hosted version using your own domain is very simple.

  The fact that the federated timeline is essentially useless on single-user instances mean if you decide to run Mastodon in the most decentralised method possible, you miss out on a core feature of the software.

  This is not really a new observation, I have mentioned before that joining the fediverse for the first time with a single user instance is playing on hard mode. You are missing the bootstrap that is the federated timeline.
