a friend of mine would like to join the fedi. he'd like to post drawing he does and prefers an "imageboard" UI, so i advised him to go to a pixelfed instance.

does anyone know a good pixelfed instance for him (or an instance of another software with a similar UI)?

To get notified every time someone posts something go to their profile and click the bell icon.This works on Mastodon on a PC/browser.
How has it taken me this long to discover?
Bonus: How come I haven't found it on the Android app?

Question for my fellow RSS nerds; Are there any platforms (either clients or servers / providers or consumers) that implement and use the RSScloud API system for a push rather than pull notification setup?

https://www.rssboard.org/rsscloud-interface

Seems like a neat way to avoid having feed readers spam your server looking for updates ( see https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/08/02/fs/ ). Basic RSS is brilliant, but been looking a the additional optional features lately.

RssCloud API

Documentation for an XML-RPC and SOAP web service API that tracks notifications of RSS feed updates.

The posts and toots in the #fediverse are shown desc by timestamp. On my experience this is the reason why posts are only reacted / getting attention in the first hour or so.

If you have questions for the community are you waiting for a time where more users might be active?

@Error417 @janet The Alt-text is not showing for me on my instance or on your instance on the web, unfortunately.

I've seen this before, is this a #Mastodon #bug / problem that #AltText added to #images after posting is not (re)#federated ?

Can anyone else see the alt-test?

Hey there Fedi, I have a question for you again!
My new employer is using #Wazo for VoIP at work: https://wazo.io

Does anyone know how good/bad this company is in term of surveillance?

Should I try to avoid it as much as possible to limit potential recordings of my voice and face or are they supposed to be well behaved?
Their ToS seem relatively harmless but the product does not seem to be open-source so I'm not sure how much one can trust it.

#FediQuestion  

Are Cover Warnings (CWs) still valuable in an age where lots (many? most?) people use filters to block keywords and hashtags? I have many filters and yet I also set my preference to automatically uncover posts with CWs. I assume most people do this now so I rarely use CWs. Am I doing this wrong? Thank you to those that respond and/or boost!  

#Question #CoverWarnings #Netiquette #Fetiquette #IAmDB

Ok what are boosts on #Pixelfed doing? I've never seen boosts from someone else and when I boost something I have no idea where I (or my followers) can see these. Any ideas?

Hey Fedi, I need your help again!

My new job uses an exchange/activesync solution (not Microsoft, thankfully).

Everything just works out-of-the-box on Linux with recent @thunderbird versions, including the #calendar.
However, I cannot find how I'm supposed to sync the calendar with #FLOSS tools on #Android (#eOS to be precise).
Can anyone help me out with that?

#askFedi #fediQuestion #exchange #activeSync

Another thing i am unable to find while using #Pixelfed via Browser on my Smartphone :

I can not see anywhere:
-My comments
-what i liked or boosted
-marked/safed posts.

There are no buttons, pages, sides on my profile or anywhere.
Is that different on desktop?

If i cannot access the list of marked posts/boosts on my phone... That'd be strange, since i think that Pixelfed is optimized for Smartphone?! (is it not?).
