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. 🤔🤷‍♀️

@[email protected] @[email protected] good morning, guten nacht. sadly the server seems to be again jammed up --- no post i have made within at least the past hour has even begun to transmit, though upvoting & receiving still seem to work well. fyi.

@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!
