sorry about this recent flurry of queries, iirc there's only one more up my sleeve after this, after which i hope not to disturb you again for a while. actually sod it, i'll ask all here in this one thread, then be done.

1. my
#sharkey #Lists & #Antennae [see the pics] seem to appear in random sequence, which though super trivial i know, i nonetheless am finding quite annoying. is there some auto-sorting option available i've so far overlooked? is there otherwise any way i can manually reorder them? ta.

2. since recently returning to blahajzone from friendica, i'm now trying to finally iron out some of the matters in the sharkey GUI i've historically not understood. another of these is... i have enabled the option to keep a backup of my UI settings / arrangement, but atm i feel i need to play around more with various column & widget combos, both in the default & deck modes, to find something that fits me like a glove. however, i'd like to
manually save each "iteration" for easy future return if needed, rather than have to manually repeat my settings tweaks each time. is there such an option pls, for me to save multiple versions, then later do on the fly reversions to one or other via just a click from a list? afaict the auto-backup only saves whatever is my current suite of settings, ie losing my historical versions.

3. in the deck view, iirc, i can have multiple "windowlets" open at once, but in the default view the ...
default ... seems to be not windowlets but complete pages, which then jumps me from whatever i was currently looking at, losing my place ( the Back button iirc takes me back to that prior view, but only to the top of the timeline, thus losing my place ). opening items as windowlets seems available from the context menu, but can i make that my actual default action?

ta, & sorry for being a PITA

so, huh, i seem to be back here... again

sigh, why do
all the fedis have to have one+ fatal flaw/s?

why can't i simply find that
One Fedi To Rule Them All ?

@blahaj @ada right, so not only YT, also DM nfg in #sharkey, sigh.

there's always something, no matter all my
#fedihopping, i still simply cannot find The Perfect Fedi SW ๐Ÿฅบ

@raroun hello there! this is Droppie from her new, replacement, account for the broken, now deleted, [email protected]. this replacement account is behaving perfectly, afaict, including excellent responsiveness [so many of the older Friendica accounts i have had, elsewhere, suffered from agonisingly poor latency, with almost every interaction; yours is nicely fast]. the only major difference in origin is that this time i created a standard clean account then manually set up all my settings & contacts... whereas with the prior account, as you recall, i had used that experimental profile-import tool, via the link at the bottom of the registration page. i know that does not prove this was the root cause of all the subsequent problems, but afaict it seems a pretty strong bit of circumstantial evidence. IMO, it might be better to remove that option, until someone is able to properly validate the tool is not defective.

once again, thank you for your help, & for running a lovely instance!

another test post

earlier tests, to discover indicative latency of this instance, disappointed me with one being 5', one being 2', & others that i did not formally time feeling like they took yonks.

am about to press the button, at local time 16:53.

@MelissaBearTrix @beartrix now that you mention it i might, or might not, have the vaguest of half-recollections that we might, or might not, have chatted about this some earlier time. alas, my goldfish memory lets me down all the... oooh, that's a shiny pebble!

but but but, pls do [now being semi-serious, kinda sorta] tell me more, Mel. i know nothing, truly nada, about networks, databases, server maintenance & upkeep, server security et al, so despite your kind offer it would be certainly disastrous to make me admin of... well, pretty much anything, tbh.

so, how do you look after it [not meaning to be rude, but do you know about those things i listed, above?]? where is your instance hosted? how do you do software updates [again, not trying to be rude, but afaict your version is not current]?

the idea of a domestic instance run by a safe peep is most appealing, & i do feel sorely tempted to try... but i also have an eye on the longer term. a lot of my historic #fedihopping was due to instances shutting down, or simply developing chronic problems they seemed unable to solve, so, unless you know how to do all that stuff [given, again, i know zilcho], i'd hesitate to take up your most kind joining offer, for fear that no matter how well it might work now, down the track all the wheels might fall off if nobody is keeping all the stuff behind the green curtain "looked after".

again Mel, not trying to be rude, not to insult you, but just wanna better understand what's what... ta.

hi & sorry, anyone inconvenienced by this.

the #Friendica software still intrigues me, but alas, for a long time now this instance [anonsys.net] keeps experiencing very frequent server problems for me, which the Admin seems unable to resolve afaict. so, today i went looking again, & have created an account at another Friendica instance, with my new account being @[email protected] .

over my fedi-years i have tried several Friendica instances, & it seems that if the servers are going to manifest problems for me, the buggers seem only to do it after i have "loaded up" my account with all my Preferences, & ofc all my #hashtag & peep Follows... which thereafter ofc is a PITA for Followers & me alike if the server then goes wobbly. for now, as i finish currently setting up this new instance, i can only hope this server will prove to be robust ๐Ÿคž

#fedihopping

@thomas @MsDropbear42 tis true. comes from the fact that they all have their pros, & their cons, & over time my tolerance to the respective ratios of those factors for the different fedi-softwares varies.

an analogy is linux. over the years i did much distrohopping, to learn about the range of possibilities, thereafter it was easier to narrow down, coz we have so many configurability options to tweak everything just so. otoh for fediverse s/w, as a mere user i have far less options to tweak, hence periodically the urge to hop returns. grass is greener syndrome, perhaps.

#fedihopping

if anyone wishes to know...

from soon after posting this [being from my
#blahajzone #sharkey account] me be gonna hop back over to my #Friendica account [@[email protected] ] to see how long i can last there again this time... might be hours, might be days, might be months, dunno yet. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคท๐Ÿณ๐ŸŒป

#fedihopping

i think i will migrate to firefish on https://infosec.town/
