@Aktiplan was imho nicht geht, ist auf beiden Servern gleichzeitig so mit deinem Account aktiv sein, dass du dort im Home Feed auftauchst, wenn du schreibst. Das funktioniert nur mit 2 Accounts. Wenn es dir ums Lesen geht, also z.B. zusätzlich den Home Feed einer Instanz abonnieren, die nicht deine ist, dann gibt es verschiedene Clients, die das können. #Fedilab, #icecubes und andere.

I had forgotten that TestFlight allows me to install the Catalyst version of #Obsidian. Did that just then. Have read twice now that Obs crashes (it’s never done so for me before) so going to use it for a bit on mobile today and see if it happens here as well.

Also fiddling with #IceCubes for Masto. Unlikely to be better than Mona but “unlikely” things ain’t ever stopped me before.

(It DOES have the social keyboard available, though. Which Mona has apparently lost in the beta. Hmm.)

I've read so much about the death of Fediverse and Mastodon because it isn't "commercially viable".

Creators of Ice Cubes and Ivory are switching to Bluesky for the financial reasons.

What are your thoughts on this topic? If it was for me, an Android user who never got access to these (great) apps, the Fediverse wasn't even alive 🤣

@Kaetchi 1. Any profile will work.
2. Search for what you are looking for. My Example: Associated Press or AP.
3. Open the profile page in a web browser. My Mastodon app (#IceCubes ) has this function built in.
4. Copy URL
5. Open #RSS app or site
6. Find add feed function
7. Paste URL and click “add” or whatever that function is called.
8. Stories will then appear in the RSS app

I’ve been having trouble uploading videos to Mastodon mobile app for a couple weeks now so I decided to try a new client. I downloaded a couple and liked #IceCubes the best. It works really well and also it’s very aesthetically pleasing, and makes the Fediverse feel like a warmer place. (It does use #OpenAI to generate #alttext and as a writing assistant which I’m fine with but I know that’s a dealbreaker for some.)

Oh, that's interesting. My #mastodon account follows my #pixelfed account.

I made this post with pixelfed: pix.lgbt/p/maco/79917359701375

When I saw it in mastodon web's deck view, clicking the hashtag opened like normal.

When I saw it in #IceCubes (iOS mastodon client) and I tapped a hashtag, it opened a web browser to pix.lgbt's search for that hashtag: pix.lgbt/i/web/hashtag/QueerJoy&src=pd

Tried in a post from pixelfed.social, and yep, reproducible issue in Ice Cubes.

Pixelfedmaco (@maco@pix.lgbt)It occurred to me earlier today that #QueerJoy is a hashtag I should be using on my #QueerTango photos. Tonight we had a little tango karaoke and queer tango dance party in a friend’s living room, and I looked over at two friends dancing, and one just had this HUGE smile. Yeah. Queer joy. #TangoQueer #QueerDance #tango #queer

The #icecubes iOS Mastodon client’s “compact” post setting actually results in MORE post padding and LARGER post entries on the timeline feed than if you turn it off. That experiment, too, concludes today.

Seriously, #Mona is still the client to beat. Nothing comes close.

Recipe for a good Masto client:
- don’t release buggy shit
- wrap post text inline
- don’t charge subs
- allow font changing and line height adjusting
- provide basic features up front: multiaccount, notifs
- responsive dev
