Watching you guys federate. https://watch.metalhead.club/

I'd like to remind all Mastodon users that you can add a language filter to any follow relationship on Mastodon.

If you follow me and you don't speak German, you can easily remove my German posts from your timeline by adjusting the language settings.

Go to my profile page, select the dot menu and click "Change subscribed languages". Then select the languages that you speak.

This really is a hidden gem 💎 on Mastodon and not many people seem to know this feature :awesome:

My FediWatch tool is still in very alpha stage, but if you feel lucky, try out https://watch.metalhead.club and watch our instance communicate with the rest of the Fediverse :)

(server-to-server communication only - user data is not analyzed!)

Talked to Mr. Netzfabrik. He offered us cheaper traffic if I commit to using at least n Terabytes of traffic each month.

Now I need to find the sweet spot and estimate the future traffic consumption. :thaenkin:

(will be about 65 € for 10 TB for example. That's a lot cheaper than currently. We've payed more than 80 € last month and did not even touch 10 TB).

I guess 8-10 TB should be sufficient.

Bravo, bravo #Fediverse. Nachdem die nächste Sau durchs Dorf getrieben wurde, gibt es nun die ersten exponierten Persönlichkeiten / Entwickler, die erst mal die Reißleine ziehen, weil sie ohne Beweise beschuldigt werden, "auf der falschen Seite" zu stehen.

Ganz stark. 👏
Habt mal mehr Respekt und Anstand.

Did you know BrutaLinks by @mariusor?

Dear Metalheads, I don't want to blame anyone of you. But:

It is of great importance that you use the right emoji.

🤘 = Metal af.
🤟 = I love you.

... which is very kind of you. But I guess it is not what you intended to say. 😅😉

Wow! Mozilla has a great article about video codecs on the web. 😍

Mastodon 4.1.0 is here! I'll update metalhead.club on Saturday :)

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.1.0

👀 I just enabled the translation feature on metalhead.club for testing :)

Try it and let me know what you think!

This is how I got it working: https://write.as/sweetmeat/how-to-activate-the-mastodon-v4-deepl-api-text-translation-service

DeepL API access is free of charge for up to 500,000 characters per month. I guess that will be sufficient for now.

Btw privacy implications: None. Feature is only available for public posts.

I've opened metalhead.club registrations for a short period of time.

Let's see if new users arrive (and give them a warm welcome! ;-) )

Dear Admins of #mastodon

I'd like to start a new #hashtag #trend. How about introducing ourselves to our users? Attach some pictures of us, provide our users some basic information about us.

Mastodon should be a place about personal connections. We can make this place more personal if we show our faces :)

Pin your post to your profile and use tag #knowYourAdmin

I'd be happy if some of you join me :)

Boost if you like the idea!

Haha ex-Twitter employees have created their own Mastodon instance 😅

"This server is intended for current and previous twitter employees and their friends/family. We filter signups to try keep the server focused for community reasons." - https://macaw.social/about/more

Welcome to the Fediverse! :)
