Ah, you are a quick learner -- caught on really fast! There's lots you can do, and it works so well. A gem really.

@DavidBlue

@globcoco With Pinafore you can run one instance in one tab.

But also open another copy of Pinafore in a second or third tab, and switch the instance in those extra ones -- so now you could very easily be in 2 or 3 instances, side by side. That works really well.

To Reply in Pinafore there's a button under each post, click and a Reply Toot editor shows up.

@globcoco

Nothing to be sorry for, Coralie -- I was a teacher for many years, and it might show. I love helping people and presenting information, lol.

Glitch-Social is a project that broke out of the Mastodon development project because they wanted to add more features and enhancements. And it's difficult on the main Mastodon branch, which is run pretty tightly under one lead developer control.

They got tired, packed up and left -- and created a 'fork' or a new project derived from the old one.

Glitch-Social is Mastodon, but it has added features, which they have developed, it's the Cutting Edge, the fancy kid on the block. Very nice features in comparison.

The docs for GS give you an idea of the features - https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

And if you want to consider one or two, I could recommend https://koyu.space/ and https://kafuka.me/

Koyu is larger, and has a lot of customizations added to it. Kafuka is a small intance, about 30 users, but well maintained and with nice features too.

Both run Glitch, so you could try it out to see.

No, not yet. I was working there and breaking up the soil, it hasn't been dug for some years and it was clumpy in places. This morning there's some light rain and will help to break some of those, I cut into them with a spade to help. Didn't go deep, but the first 15 to 20 cm or so really needed a bit of work and aeration.

@angedestenebres @DavidBlue

@globcoco That is wonderful!!! Hope you like it.

One tip -- anytime you want to compose a message, wherever you are -- press '7' or 'c' (for compose) and you get an editor. Nolan told me that, I had no idea.

@globcoco
I am glad you like that layout -- I think it is so much better.

There's also the Pinafore client, which is simple, will not do double panes ever (I asked, declined) but is so light and FAST. A delight really. Pinafore is for me an essential tool, and a very enjoyable way to use the Fediverse.

If you are used to the standard Mastodon Web client, you will feel at home very quick, I think -- and certainly appreciate the fluidity and speed as you get to know its features. It's really nice.

Not much documentation for it (a project for me, in my list of ideas) but you can get a first look with this article : https://nolanlawson.com/2019/06/02/one-year-of-pinafore/

And ask any questions, I love to talk about things that I am interested in. 😃

@angedestenebres @DavidBlue

@globcoco
Oh, that is a good thing. 😃 We can use more than one account, and then you have a chance to use the better parts of one of another.

It will become easier as you get accustomed, and you can keep them both (or any others that you want to use) open in tabs on a web browser simultaneously.

To try one out, you don't need to move your current life completely there, but just start using it, and if you think it's nice, eventually start moving house. Your Following list can be exported from one place, and imported into another, and once you imported it, contacting all the people you know will be easier.

Just give it some time, learn as you go, but we should not get stuck in to a limited instance, just because it was your first home. (keeping the older account and exploring a bit for nice ones is a good idea)

Regarding wordsmith.social, I am glad you found out, I noticed your blog is at Write.as, but their free offer is very limited. They are a business, and it's understandable; luckily there's alternatives. 👍

If you were interested, Qoto, where I am writing from this message, is a good instance. Ange's home at TeDomum is a French speaking instance mainly, so maybe it could be interesting.

I would definitely suggest trying to find a Glitch-Social based instance -- I have accounts of 3 of them now, one of them becoming my new publishing home, and the full #MarkDown support there is such a difference. I really suffer when I am back to plain text here at Qoto, although the admin knows I need and will move for it. 😉

@Sphinx This is a warning that there's something wrong with the vehicle. The same light might come on, and be a minor problem, or it really could be indicating something that could destroy vital parts.

Reading the code with an appropriate tool, and looking up the result code in a service manual for the vehicle is the proper way to handle it. DON'T simply ignore or reset it -- you might regret later.

I am SO GLAD we instituted the new Entry questionnaire system.

What would this person add to ANY instance ?

No Kidding! 😜 #Nuked

@freemo > the same reaction also creates new water

? Really? Where did the H came from? Broken down hydrocarbon compounds?

@iankenway Oh, that hurt. 😉

@freemo I would say the burning of the steel wool is an oxidization process -- the Fe combines with air's O2, and the Oxygen is absorbed into the metal mesh, adding to it's mass.

Normal combustion might make solid carbon compounds into CO2 and CO, which are gases and will leave the burning materials. Less mass resulting.

@Perico That sounds wonderful. Are you writing and maybe publishing it ?

Bonne nuit, I am back to digging the garden, was a nice break. Loved talking to you. 😺

@angedestenebres @DavidBlue

@freemo Oh, you are welcome.

I just thought the Police State Bucks would be useful for making posts. 😜
