@msdropbear @wansti oh wow, i was wrong... this latest test-post HAS escaped the gravitational field of #FriendicaAU & happily made it to the outside world, coz here it is after all, in my #OpensocialSpace account 🎉 🥳💃

well, it transpired that my erstwhile default daily #Friendica fedi, #OpensocialSpace, from which i write/send this post, remains my default daily Friendica fedi, coz:

• after a day or two, it seems to have come good again, with that latest bout of The Wobblies behind it afaict
• my oldest remaining Friendica instance, #AnonsysNet , sadly remains too frustrating to use as my daily, for reasons that originally sent me forth from it, a coupla years ago, in the endless quest for a better Friendica instance [eg, its most topical failing now, as always, is that the custom Channels i created in it (identical to those i create in all other Friendica instances i use), simply do not fetch ANY posts for the configured hashtags, & despite manual searches for those hashtags returning viable hits... grrrrrrrrrrr, tis so annoying!]. its Admin historically rarely/never replies to my posts.
• Mel's private instance #FarcebookSpace, remains great in all aspects except for the fatal flaw of just not federating well enough for most of my saved hashtag searches, either manual or Channels. every time i try to return to this instance as my possible daily, this unsolved hashtag PITA drives me away again. tis a pity!
• after much indecision, t'other day i did in fact press ahead & create a new account on the new Oz Friendica server, #FriendicaAU, full of hope & thrill. alas, subsequently disappointed, eg:
  
  • the server refuses to accept my attempts to change the initial auto-generated password it sent me at registration
  • its hashtag federation seems to be slightly better than FarcebookSpace, much better than AnonsysNet, but much worse than OpensocialSpace, ipso facto, untenable for daily use atm
  • incomprehensibly, afaict, NONE of my attempted Outbound posts from it, actually transmit! they give an appearance of having Sent, but:
    
    • two test-posts i sent to myself at some of my other instances, never arrived
    • a post i sent to one of my Mutuals, who is active & responsive daily with my other instances, remains Unreplied-to [coz i suspect they never received it]
    • a post i sent to the instance Admin, @wansti, remains Unreplied-to [coz i suspect they never received it]

    
    

  
  

oh well. 🤔🤷‍♀️
