Can I ask a favour?

I'm really grateful to be recommended as a follow, but can you also mention the website (https://fedi.tips) when you do so?

At the moment getting a lot of questions which are answered on the site, and it's difficult to keep up with every question. I'm happy to keep answering, but also afraid I'll miss someone's question.

If they know about the site from the beginning, they will have a chance of finding the answers themselves if I do miss their question.

Thanks 🙏

It's been a while since the last #microblogpub updates:

• As usual, plenty of bug fixes and small improvements
• Testing a way to customize the index/home page (and adding custom pages/routes in Python) - more on that later
• Playing with full-text search (for now only for "local objects")

And thrilled to see more and more instances !

RSS fans!

You can get RSS feeds of any specific tag in https://fedi.directory by adding /feed/ to the end of the tag's URL.

For example the tag for "Gardening" is at the URL:

https://fedi.directory/tag/gardening/

...so if you wanted to use RSS to track all new gardening accounts, the feed would be:

https://fedi.directory/tag/gardening/feed/

When new accounts are added to tags you follow like this, they will appear in your RSS feed.

We should not be optimising Mastodon so it can handle more people per server. We should be optimising Mastodon so it incentivises more serves with fewer people.

(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/)
