* Community Building and Leadership - Ideas *

We are always looking for Talent.

A transcription of a Long Form Toot - https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104342676937389172 earlier this morning, fully composed on the fly, in my toot Editor at a Mastodon instance.

Lightly edited for Blog publishing, adding links and references only, content was ready. The views in the post are my own, I believe they reflect values which make instances vibrant and pleasant places to be in.

Staff at Qoto.org are always scouting for new Talent, and open to suggestions, comments.

Adding new Staff members is good for all communities -- it's a labour of love, we do it for the fun, the pleasure of seeing things growing up, a nice social climate growing.

I would like to invite any Active user at Qoto (*or in the Fediverse at large, if you decided to join us*) to consider if they would like to help.

That is the Topic of today's Blog -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/community-building-and-leadership-ideas

Great software, Glitch-Social goodness plus Koyu's personal touches all over the place.

## 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.

For Intelligent people, finding Happiness seems to be a much more elusive path.
