@Gargron hi

@Gargron Mastodon is soooo deep, talented. Recently got into Gojira. I’m happy. 👍

@Gargron Did any alternative emerge? I'm looking into mastodon right now, but can't figure out the federation.

@Gargron Any time this will come back? I like having my account on my own little server but still be able to explore the wide world from there ^^ I found a few relays but not too many...

@Gargron this is one of the funniest toots of all time, but the context has been lost to the sands of time

@Gargron Can a “keyword” filter also contain a RegEx? Because then I'm in filtering heaven! Then I only need native clients ti implement a UI to configure that. \o/

@Gargron any chance of them coming back? I love them in Ivory, but would like them to be set on the server for when I’m using a different client

@Gargron

I'd love to see regex filters at least be an option. It's difficult to manage a huge list of >50 muted terms.

Additionally allowing Regex could let people "share" filter lists easily.

@Gargron The end ? 🙄

@Gargron Is this blog post still relevant today? I tried following the steps however I couldn't get them to work. Therefore I created this issue here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23735

@lamp @bill I see but did the webfinger step work for you?

I didn't receive any GET requests when I tried to look up my @user@homeserver on several Mastodon instances. I was expecting that to work because the post says:
"...available under your domain with a valid SSL certificate, you could already look up your actor from another Mastodon by entering alice@my-example.com into the search bar."

Maybe it will start working after I post a message 🤔

@Gargron I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work still. I get an HTTP error 503 when I try to search for my user user1@revpub.net through mastodon.social. I have an nginx virtual host running with a JSON file named 'actor' and the webfinger static file at .well-known/webfinger. When I look through the nginx logs I don't see anything that gives any information on what could be going wrong.

@Gargron I did Nazi that coming

@Gargron

@Gargron Genau

@Gargron It happened.

@Gargron @jdking92 You toot your way, and I'll do the same

@Gargron I really wish you'd change your mind on this. While quote posting CAN lead to toxicity, it's also an important way to share post with your followers and add your own to it. It can and does also lead to positive interactions. And the reality is, I can accomplish the same thing with screenshots but that won't give the original poster the opportunity to join the new conversation. Sadly, I think not having this is holding Mastodon back.

#QuotePost

@Gargron I would be interested to know, oh supporters of quoting, why you can't just boost and reply?

But I am also kind of surprised that quoting is considered to be toxic, when boosting and replying is not?

i used to be an avid hn reader but at some point the takes grow stale, i already know what the comments are going to say, so it's boring to read

@Gargron
I am tootin'

@Gargron imagine not Publish!ing
