Does it allow you to enter an URL and submit for archiving it? Have used the site but never added a new one.

@freemo

@realcaseyrollins @freemo vsih now has "This domain is for sale.
Please contact steve@amdo.com"

@realcaseyrollins
Oooh, that is a pain. When something breaks and you lose all that work.

I used to place all the images for my forum posts, web, etc in a free hosting site. Worked well, was fast.

And then, it wasn't. Disappeared overnight, and all these, hundreds of posts, had no more images on them.

Was called Very Simple Image Host, https://vsih.com was easy to remember and gave shorter image links.

Even imageshark screwed me and other users up too, when they decided to not serve images for whatever reason.

We need things that stay online, otherwise our publications are damage and no one wants to go back and re-edit them all.

@freemo

...I hadn't - discovered it earlier this afternoon. Very interesting!

Made a series of Toots about it, and since I started a new blog (finally), a blog post with the same content and polish, text formatting, etc.

Find out about Trunk for Fediverse - https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/to-help-new-users-set-up-todon-101-page

@realcaseyrollins @freemo I think it would be a perfect fit for a stem instance.

@realcaseyrollins @freemo That is awesome.

I see it's a Python file, so you run it locally and enter the URL for the desired feed?

Maybe we could host the SciAm one here?

@realcaseyrollins

Just signed up for all the ones on Tinysubs, and SciAm at the birdsite since it seems to have been in operation already, lots of toots.

Are yours tested and running already?

Will spread the word. 🙇

@freemo

@realcaseyrollins @freemo

Wow, thank you so much!! 😮

Wonderful. Way to go. 👍

@aindri@mastodon.social LOL, thank you!! Saving it.

@Javier Thank you, that's very kind. It was my first time on a solo, self supported, long bike tour. it's 900 Km or 650 mi from my home to DC, via the beautiful Pennsylvania trails and roads.

(GAP trail from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland, then C&O from there.)

@stux

Furthermore, since I m really enjoying this, I just made a new Blog page.

With this Whole Set of Toots, images, formatting and all. 😉 🍷

See it here: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/to-help-new-users-set-up-todon-101-page

Help pages are useful always.

"This page is a about two kinds of help:

* helping you, if you're running into problems
* helping us, if you'd like to support us"

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/help

"If you want to read about one or more of these topics, all you have to do is click on the various lists linked below and follow the people on these lists.

If you write about one or more of these topics and think that people wanting to read about the topic might benefit if they followed you, consider volunteering for a list.

Note that you cannot volunteer other people. People have to volunteer themselves. "

F A N T A S T I C resource!!!

Organizations are listed on Trunk, all on one page. Click on desired one for more info, follow it desired.

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/grab/Organisations

Image below shows The Lists" of * people *, all sorted into a multitude of interests. From the main page, just scroll down.

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/

Reading through their page, I noticed "Trunk for the Fediverse".

What is it? https://communitywiki.org/trunk/

"Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse.

If you click on one of the lists below, you'll see a page full of people that volunteered to be on that list. Yeah, people. Our goal is to connect newbies with people. The only exception we have is our list of Organizations."

Great ideas deserve to be recognized.

Todon.NL has a custom "101" page to help new users set house and find worth people to follow.

https://wiki.todon.nl/todon/101?redirect=1

Simple, good advice and organized.

And -- I discovered an awesome new thing, describing on next post.

@jahnke A lot of people are leaving the country now too, for similar reasons. I completely understand.

Things look bleak there now. I do visit to see family, but can't stay too long, there's too many memories of past problems, the news are so full of negative facts.

@zevahs Looks good, image quality seems awesome. 👍
