To the many Cat lover friends in Twitter, I would like to offer a snapshot and a link to a really nice Gallery - which a Japanese administrator set up to display some of the gorgeous cat photos he saw recently.

@zleap @rgx@muensterland.social Your certificate came with ugly fonts in the text, ugh. The Write.as one is much nicer.

@lupyuen Very impressive indeed! Thank you!

@zleap @hansw Usually that can be set in admin controls. Sometimes the load is awful, I asked freemo if it was possible to limit but he thought not -- and he wants it indexed.

a search for "Pinafore Client" does show local forum results, but ideally we should control it. Sometimes it crawls when reloading.

@zleap It's probably the freaking search engines, hammering the machine. I hate them.

@hansw

It is an AI driven tutorial in the Discourse Forum. Quite neat actually.

@zleap

@zleap I think it keep track of a user's progress - it should resume where you left off if a session is interrupted.

* Mastodon - Options for Moving an Account ? *

*** "Take your information and do what you want with it." ***

That suggestive text sounds like Freedom of movement is granted and important, doesn't it? That is directly copied from Documents at JoinMastodon.org -https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/.

The truth is less rosy though. There are easy and reliable ways to :

* Export the list of people you Follow.
* Export lists of people you Mute (hiding their posts from your view)
* Export lists of people and instances you Blocked (barring their content reaching you).

But, sadly -- your personal data, all the Toots you spent time in, the images and videos contained in them. Not easily accessible.

If an instance dies (and it does happen), it's all Lost. We need better. Facebook is now offering a wonderful User Data Export tool.

I love Writing, so this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.

@HighFunctioningSunflower That lookss good indeed. And the pleasure of having made it yourself, great. Welcome to Qoto.

@mikelga >> no diet for us today!

LOL, good! I meant diet as in regular Mediterranean area foods -- vegatables, dairy, fruit, dried nuts, olive oil and the other good things in that cuisine.

Una Tortilla de Patatas seria buena, no? Me gusta mucho! 🇪🇸

* Pleroma - Finding the Good Instances, part 2 *

*** As Requested; Recommended Instances Suggestions ***

I was pleasantly surprised by the interest generated by my Discover Pleroma. An alternative to Mastodon -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/discover-pleroma page. Various people contacted me, interested in trying out Pleroma, and asking for some recommended instances.

So this page is intended to provide :

* some thoughts on why it is important, which instance you are in.
* general tips on looking up information for any Pleroma instance.
* and a list of recommended Pleroma instances for your consideration.

As usual, I love Writing, so this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.

@vibhi it would be up to our admin, who is the one maintaining the server, revising and adding code.

The current idea is that we could move to a better platform, non-mastodon. That would bring many advantages including lower hosting costs and higher performance, but it's not a small job for an instance already running and full of patches and added features.

I would just try to move and add these later if possible, but he's the one doing the work, and only person with the skill set for that.

@vibhi He will be glad to have new meat on the plate. If you enjoy hellthreads, he's the man!

@mikelga LOL, that's too much a price to pay for a nice meal. I would have reduced the Jamón, and added some Mediterranean diet extras for sustenance.

Lovely foods in Europa.🇪🇺
