* Intuition.

When you heart and your mind concur that something is a good idea, I like to follow.

Example, inviting someone I met yesterday and had some wonderful conversations with. An attentive listener, a bright mind and a fast learner.

Confirmed when I look at the person's profile after just a few hours, and find it already growing roots and being an appreciated part of our community.

Those followers, they all agree.

Hope we could find such great people more often, but it's a joy. Welcome to Coralie. You are a Star.

Thank you for the stimulating conversations.

**And Here's Another of Those Designer Ideas, by RG...**

A preview only but it's looking nice, and I will be gladly sharing it soon on the Follow on Friday feature posts.

A list of Feline lover and cat posting accounts all over Fediverse, including some I had never seen, courtesy of my good friend @realcaseyrollins -- Thank you!

Discouse Forum is a pretty way to organize information, I will have to think on what's the best way to provide as much within the limits of a Toot in Mastodon -- or better, in my GlitchSocial account.

** Finding and Using a good Image Hosting Service **

I just posted a Detailed Guide to uploading files to a Image Host, here in a reply, deep into a Thread.

It is an important and useful subject -- so I copied and expanded the post, it's on my GlitchSocial Web Publishing account -- muensterland.social/@rgx

Seen on the news just now.

When a Ministry of Health high officer uses a Special Forces Dagger and Skull, what do we read on that?

As spreads, you may be wondering what, exactly that means. It means a new kind of policing, with a dramatically shrunken role, one that excludes social work, mental health interventions, drug counselling, etc.

* Guia de Usuarios en Español para Write.freely *

Ange hizo una guía agradable e ilustrada para los nuevos usuarios de los blogs Write.freely, pero todo está en francés.

El objetivo es ayudar a las personas interesadas en usar la instancia write.freely en TeDomum.net, que ha sido el hogar de mi blog. Esta mañana me tomé un tiempo y traduje su guía al Español.

Ahora la página está en mi blog: write.tedomum.net/rgx/guia-de-

* Write.freely blog - a guide for new users *

@angedestenebres made a nice and illustrated guide for new users of Write.freely blogs, but it's all in French.

Goal is to help people interested in using the write.freely instance at TeDomum.net — which has been my blog's home. This morning I took some time and translated her guide to English.

Now the page is on my blog: write.tedomum.net/rgx/write-fr

And... The Formatting that MarkDown allows at Better Software Instances... Coming to Qoto, according to scuttle butt.

OP at Muensterland, as seen in Pinafore client. Nice, and look at all those Links. NO naked URL ones anywhere.

Clean, sharp. I can call that a MicroBlog and not be lying,.

I really find it lovely how the Crossposters allow us to send and receive interesting info, across networks even.

I think some people already Know about the very useful OCR Scanning bot that we have here in Fediverse.

IO have used it, many times, and it's so handy -- all you need is :

* to have an image with text you wanted scanned.
* to send a message -- BEST of ALL , a Direct Message so you keep it private.
* to the neat @OCRbot

Wait a minute or so, and your Notifications will Show a Reply from it. With the scanned text.

Output is quite good, usually only needs to remove extraneous Line Breaks -- so text flows naturally as intended.

Watch this topic for the response coming directly to it.

REMINDER -- much more Civil to use it via DM, unlike someone at another instance (not naming) who abused this, daily, on the Local Feed line.

Reason to create a Filter in my account there, actually. Get rid of the noise.

Thanks to the creators of OCRBot at fedi.lynnesbian.space

* Mastodon Feature Suggestion and Request *

Putting this out quick and dirty, from the Toot Editor and without nice formatting but it's important and maybe someone can help or take interest on it?

[[ OP at muensterland.social/@rgx/10431 ]]

- Proposal :

a. To add a new setting that allows people to create a post which will Collapse the text body (similar to what a CW does)

b. While keeping the post attached Image(s) VISIBLE.

- Rationale :

c. This is intended for presentation, visual purposes. For those of us who produce Long Form content, and yet would like to have a more compact displayed Toot in the Feed lines.

d. The poster considering this would select the C.W. style warning text line as an Article Title (similar to newspaper or magazine headlines)

e. And select with care a good, related, catchy image to pass some of the content idea and attract a reader into the folded write up.

- Benefits :

f. A more compact Toot, taking less visual space, vertically, while still beign able to communicate with users via Title and an exposed image..

g. How is this different from the current CW feature? The Image is NEVER shown in a CW post, so all that can catch and bring in a reader is the TITLE itself.

- Experience :

h. I have done this in the past, liked the visual it produced, but not the lack of readers, as shown by the low interaction.

i. due to that, while I had show and recommended this practice (Long Post being always wrapped in CW), I gave it up soon, based on experienced results (item h).

Example : qoto.org/@design_RG/1033083195

Hermes the Tabby just lost his human companion, who adopted him out of a stray cat life, and now passed away.

Hope you find a new home soon, friend. Good luck and bless you.
