* Kudos to a fellow instance - Recommended *
Really nice server setup -- responsive, kick ass experience. Self Hosted so there's less costs to keep it going.
Server specs :
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8- (16) @ 3.900GHz
HDD: 2TB in RAID configuration
RAM: 64 GB
Great software, Glitch-Social goodness plus Koyu's personal touches all over the place.
A sweet TL;DR short and sweet intro on Ingo's instance. NerdCulture.de is a Mastodon instance located in Germany.

500 characters maximum toot is painful and unusual punishment for me though. 😜
* Maybe we should consider making the arXiv bot posts unlisted? *
* there's a lot of them, at schedule times of the day, late at night for me here.
*many users might not like to wade thru them.
* some might already have Muted the 5 or so arXiv posting accounts.
I know I did; it clears the timeline pretty effectively, and I have a duty as Mod to monitor all that is posted here.
So, what you Qoto users and Fedi at large think?
Unlisted posts will still go out, they just become harder to discover (as they will not show in any of the timelines.
Ideal solution - in my opinion, Unlisted posts as standard, plus maybe on Digest post per day (with a list of Toots made by the account that day), this being posted as "Public".
Image attached is from the moderators panel -- I just closed a report filled against one of the arXiv bot, accused of Spam.
* Things I would love to see. *
A recent post in Discourse, described the idea : a new feature for Mastodon.
Allowing authors of Long Form, long text articles to choose to Collapse the text.
Which would work similar to what a Content Warning toot does -- EXCEPT, and this is important, it would NOT Blur the image in the post. (which a CW post always does.)
Why bother? Because :
* it looks nicer in the timelines. Some people are not interested in long posts.
* Visually prettier too, for all users.
* Toot Title is displayed, as in a CW toot warning line.
And the image and the Title can be carefully selected to attract a Reader, who can expand the post if desired.
My full proposal is at : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/mastodon-collapsed-text-exposed-image-a-proposal-for-improvement-blog-post-version/326

@Gargron please consider. Thank you.
* Fediverse - Cats Follow on Friday Suggestions *
And it's #FurryFriday but also #FF or #FollowFriday ... In fact, I am late in posting this, a pretty Blog version of my original Discourse Forum --https://discourse.qoto.org/t/cat-posting-accounts-for-fff-felines-follow-on-fridays/286 post. And now it's #Caturday even.
So I thought -- why not post a neat Referral to our feline loving Fediverse accounts that are present in these hash tags ?

That is the Topic of today's Blog -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/fediverse-cats-follow-on-friday-suggestions
[ OP, much prettier : https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104336892703458752 ]
A much prettier version of this post is at our Discourse Forums, Pinafore Discussions :
...as Pretty as my Glitch-Social post, and actually better -- as it allows in-line images. 👍
## Pinafore does many things well
I have mentioned #Pinafore many times, in forums, conversations, threads in Fediverse.
Now I prepared a presentation, putting forward a Request for Comments and possible adoption of a new Feature which I think is important.
Today's Blog post is all about it.
.:. .:. .:. .:.
## Proposing a new Feature to Mastodon
The core idea is simple -- to allow a user to post Long Text, while collapsing it for display in the various timelines. For aesthetic reasons, as it will look better in a crowded TimeLine listing.
Today's New Blog Post is Live now: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/mastodon-collapsed-text-exposed-image
.:. .:. .:. .:.
## The Essential of this Request ?
...That I can see a Long Form post, exactly like Pinafore now displays it.
Yes, Nolan did it, again. Thanks for another nice aspect of Pinafore.
Snapshot of This Topic - https://qoto.org/@Phaedrus/104331271947790146 -- as shown in Pinafore, as part of the Local Feed. Attached below.
...which is EXACTLY what I am looking for.
The post contains an image, and in the Local Timeline is compacted to a dense and still meaningful form
Well done, I say.

* Proposing a new Feature to Mastodon
This post intends to highlight a proposal for a Mastodon Feature enhancement. It was originally posted as a Toot here : https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104314541426220429, and later copied in stripped plain text format at Qoto : https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104314540032386201.
The core idea is simple -- to allow a user to post Long Text, while collapsing it for display in the various timelines. For aesthetic reasons, as it will look better in a crowded TL listing.

Today is a very special day. It was exactly 10 years ago today, my human brought me home to live with her. I was only eight weeks old and very small. I’ve come a long way since then. #foreverhome #anniversary #flashbackfriday #catsoftwitter
