Richard W. Woodley 🇨🇦🌹🚴♂️OK, I'm here now. It seems to have gone smoothly. But looking to get used to any minor differences in the interface.
Human 3500@the5thColumnist Don't get too used to it - we are likely migrating off of hometown as development seems to have stalled on it.
Charles A-M@human3500 @the5thColumnist aha, so "here" refers to ottawa.place from another server, not Mastodon in General from another platform.
Does that server have a character limit longer than the default 500? That would be the clincher for me to make the switch from my current one.
@Centretowner The character limit at Ottawa.place appears to be the rather oddly specific 2222. @the5thColumnist
@human3500 @the5thColumnist ooh, nice! Hopefully they keep that setting when they migrate to the other fork.
@Centretowner @the5thColumnist Hey @OttawaPlaceAdmin - how is the replacement of hometown going? I trust we keep our current insane character limit.
Andrew Dunham@human3500 @Centretowner @the5thColumnist @OttawaPlaceAdmin Still WIP (partly because I've been getting over a nasty case of bronchitis), but when we migrate to another fork (or mainline), we will 100% keep the 2222 character limit. As for why... I think I just picked a number that looked neat and "ought to be enough for anybody" 😆 No particular meaning there, as far as I can remember.
