Some pretty long sessions result, I bet. But I can relate and do it too sometimes. It's productive if you are in a good moment.

Thanks, Casey -- lovely photos!
Thanks for letting me know, Niklas -- I will let @koyu@koyu.space know, as it would be better to edit that source and have locally storage images.
Having an EU location is important to me, avoiding Google spaces also. Those are only thumbnails, easily copied and hosted. TY!
@globcoco They are indeed.
The GayCats account on Twitter is a great source for Cat imagery. Assorted, random, collated from the Web.

@globcoco Imagine the wonder of being a Kitten and finding such a nice hidding spot! 😘
Thanks, Niklas! I will look into those.
I managed to find an extensive listing of all Mastodon instances -- huge, but which includes the ones with the '+glitch-version' so I can try and copy their URLs from there.
The Federation.info site has that but is slow as molasses and it will take patience. But I will do it, it's needed.
I have a planned Blog post exposing my thoughts and verbally attacking this dismal 500 chars toot limit.
coming soon, as I have written extensively back in January about it -- time to Blow the Horn and let people know.
So Glad that Glitch-Social is available. The Mastodon project is really slow in accepting any suggestions and moving ahead.

Try it, João -- you won't go back to the 500 chars sh1t.

Hallelujah Brother -- so good to see an Enlightened administrator.
The number of times I requested (and was turned down) an increase in the dismal 500 characters Toot limit.
Many times since Eugen likes the 500, and intentionally makes it cumbersome to change -- burying this in various source code files.
Every time you get a new version of mastodon (pretty frequent), you need to find them all and edit them all again. Typical obstructionist behaviour, and it's working as planned.
Thank you so much Niklas! And for listing those other GS instances too.
One of my ToDo list plans is to create a nice list of Glitch-Social instances, all in one place, which I haven't been able to find in the web so far.
@rgx@muensterland.social @joaopinheiro@mastodon.social
@design_RG @rgx @joaopinheiro I run several GlitchSoc instances to choose from: https://muensterland.social , https://mstdn.es , https://mastodon.bayern , https://social.dev-wiki.de (Part of GGC Project,I'm part of the admin team), https://toot.koeln (I'm only the server admin,not the owner).All of them allow 5000 chars per post because this 500 chars limit is nonsense.You can't have any detailed discussions with only 500 chars.There are already workarounds,meaning threads with many short post answering to each other,but why?!Just set a limit that allows real discussions and there's no need for workarounds anymore.Migrating to GlitchSoc is very easy: https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ and you can raise your limit by simply adding MAX_TOOT_CHARS=5000 to your .env.production.
@rw Amazing streak, great work, Robert! 🌞
@rosiek Hello, and welcome to Qoto.
Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

Glad to have found this, Andy -- it's one of my personal favourite issues as well.
Having the wide displays in desktops, laptops and only using part of them (single column mode) or too many columns doesn't please me.
I made a Forum topic with some ideas -- a Two panel for me is ideal, one with one of the Feeds, the other with Notifications.
With help from a Firefox Add-on by Eskuero, it can fill the whole screen -- and give me a Reply Toot Editor anywhere on screen when I click a reply arrow.
Would love if you have any comments -- here : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/mastodon-screen-use-in-wide-screen-displays-a-search-for-better-results/280
I wish this functionality was added to the AWI function, it's a great desktop for Readers and Writers.
@gargron Multi-columns are the best part of Mastodon.
Forget decentralization, or open source, or focusing on good user experience, the important thing is efficient use of screen real-estate. That is my religion.
@pinafore@mastodon.technology
I like Dark Themes, so thank you for providing a real Black one. One problem I noticed when trying it -- I cannot see the Star denoting the currently active instance on Settings -- Instances.
That makes it hard for me to use, as I do switch between various ones frequently. Would be lost without a highlight on the active one.
Like on this snapshot -- one of them is active. Which ?
@nolan That was a nice post, which I have used in describing what Pinafore is. Another year is gone by, maybe a second article is coming?
Thanks for the great work, Nolan.
