@freemo Just to make me look bad, now it updated instantly right after I posted. Could it depend where in the site (Home, Local, Notifications) I am at?

This one was posted right from the Local feed side post box.

@freemo Boss, the Local feed seems to be behind the Home one quite a bit - not refreshing as it should be.

Last post in Local as I type is 49 min old; I personally have made other replies and new posts, which show immediately on Home as expected. Just FYI...

Snapshot included. Time ~21:11 UTC

Thanks for the great service.

@noushad You can always start a new topic. Do you like films or documentaries?

Make a post, name one you specially like, give a link to info, maybe even an online copy if you can find it. :)

Or any other interest that you have. Bikes, books, cats, travel? So much to talk about. 😃

Doggies will be doggies...

@Karthikdeva LOL, thanks. 😆

I say Poteito, you say Potáto... 🕺

🇺🇸 🇬🇧

@raining_night @freemo Yeah, I think that is what's different on version 3 (other than the delete account, not important on this context).

We don't have that "Move From" on Qoto atm.

Canada's JAZZ Station, live on the air and the web...

@kapoorrajat1857 Awesome, I never tried that, my mid 70's Mitsubishi reciever works so well here at home.

Jazz.fm has an app too I think.

@Karthikdeva Thanks, Karthik - I chose that specific frame as it shows the real small size of the planet as compared to the Sun behind it.

Poor Mercury must he a living Hell of heat and radiation, being so close.

@raining_night That's great! 😄

@raining_night @freemo Is that screenshot from MS site? They are running a newer version of Mastodon there.

We have a Migration page here:

https://qoto.org/settings/migration

Very minimal, just a new username and instance pointer required, no options.

Did you miss seeing the passage of Mercury over the face of the Sun earlier this week?

Beautiful images from the Solar observatories like the screenshot below.

See the footage at :

https://mercurytransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/display.php?year=2019&phase=In&dataset=Mercury19_AIA96s_171&title=AIA%20171

or from different cameras at the main site:

@freemo @raining_night Oooh... Upgrada, nice.

But are we going to have that new Tilled Feed view? I find that confusing. Like the one on MS itself, already at v.3.01

https://mastodon.social/public

@raining_night I think they must have footage archived to show.

Check the post, found it on my posts line since I liked and boosted it.

An example of a working, lively instance with Pleroma running. Showing their Local feed.

@raining_night Thanks for the post, we had a nice post the other day with pointers to live cameras showing the solar telescope views of the Mercury passage over the face of the Sun. Quite cool!

Really small planet, and so close to that huge star.

@raining_night @freemo I am glad you found Qoto and moved here, MS is too large and too general to be interesting, and diffcult to manage properly.

Losing the followers is a pain; there seemed to be some "moved" option you could enable, and it will keep the old profile and all the data still there, but people will need to re-follow I think.

Good work on adding the RN, it will make it easier to refer to you.

@kapoorrajat1857 You are welcome, Pranoy!

See, you have an advantage on using the web stream, it displays the title and more info. 😄

I am listening to the station in the FM band, receive it quite well since it's about 40 Km from my home or so.

I have it playing all the time, other than when they put Opera on, that I don't like much.

There's a nice Jazz station from Toronto, Ontario that also transmits over the web:

https://jazz.fm (got to love that URL!)

or

https://radio.securenetsystems.net/cwa/CJRT

Finished reading the page and it's excellent.

The author defines well what a Local timeline is, what the Federated timeline is as well.

And he explains the differences between Pleroma and Mastodon as server software alternatives:

"## How is it different from Mastodon?

If you are currently using Mastodon, you are probably interested in the differences between Mastodon and Pleroma. Here are some of the big ones.

## Lower system requirements.

Pleroma can run well on a Raspberry Pi or a $2.50 Vultr instance. This makes it affordable to host for single user instances. You can still run a hundred users or so on instances this small, though, so it also works well for bigger instances.

## Less moving parts.

Pleroma is built on a lot less technology than Mastodon. To run a Mastodon instance, you need Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, NodeJS and - if you want search - ElasticSearch. For Pleroma, you only need Elixir and PostgreSQL, while still getting all the features. This simplifies installation and makes maintenance somewhat easier."
