paulresearch@scotspostpunk hi chief! I don’t see any pictures here … maybe due to a “feature” of Mastodon…?
@paulresearch strange - can you see images on@[email protected] ?
Dub Cadet@scotspostpunk @paulresearch
I can see all of Creeping Bent's posts and pics. Your posts stopped showing pics after the Marquee Moon vinyl post.
Mastodon has had a huge increase in users recently and sometimes the instance (server) you're registered with can struggle with the additional load. It might settle down, or the admin might need to upgrade the server (yep, usually one person running the smaller instances)
Or, it might be the client your using, tho the web version should be fine
@scotspostpunk @paulresearch
It might also look fine on glasgow.social but not so immediately on other instances, this should sort itself out eventually.
FWIW, I post from the web, but the official Mastodon app, tho quite basic, works best for me for viewing and replying on the go.
I noticed your YouTube links are not expanding. If you browse to my profile, the first couple posts are from YouTube, should be a thumbnail and play in-app. Could be the shortened links (best guess...)
@DubCadet Will post from the browser next.
@DubCadet @scotspostpunk the last one I saw was that great pic of Mott
@paulresearch @scotspostpunk
I'm guessing that glasgow.social is a bit overwhelmed with new users atm.
Last time i looked, the instance i use (mastodon.scot), went from 3k users to 12k in about 2 weeks as birdsite users started looking for alternatives. Things got glitchy for a while...
Of course, it could just be user error on Mike's side 😉
@DubCadet @paulresearch Always a possibility!
