* Cool Ideas we see out there. *

Earlier today I visited Tom's instance, https://kafuka.me/ , and noticed an interesting feature -- that Boosted posts were shown in their Local feed.

Remarkable, I had never seen that until now; later on, mentioned it to Koyu, at https://koyu.space/ . And Tom confirmed it's an Admin panel option in GlitchSocial.

Koyu being on the cutting edge, promptly offered if I wanted the feature enabled; I made some comments and left the decision to her.

Who quickly implemented it, see screenshot # 3 -- of the Local Feed.

Many thanks -- I think this feature is a great tool for smaller instances, helping add dynamism and Content Discovery. Well done, friends.

and https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104322475676277001 for 2nd part.

Not only we have the new forum, but I have just collected a topic we discussed here, earlier today in our local feed -- and made it into a prettier, formatted and in-line illustrated page.

The way a good manual page could be; and there's a need, the documentation available is very limited; so I plan to add to it.

First Topic, brand new Forum.

* Assigning Colour Themes to Allow easy Multi-Instances use in Pinafore Client *

Please visit : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/assigning-colour-themes-to-diferentiate-instances-at-a-glance/295

The Forum is publicly Visible (anyone can read) and open to new user registrations if you want to comment, ask questions about Pinafore or have any suggestions to the Author. We will be sure to pass those along, and Nolan is very good with supporting, promptly responding when I had something to ask.

Many Thanks to Nolan Lawson (@nolan) and Dr. Freeman (@freemo).
Special thanks to Coralie @globcoco for inspiring this inaugural topic.

* A new Pinafore client discussions Forum is now online at Qoto's Discourse Forums *

We now have a brand new sub-forum, dedicated to the powerful and fast Pinafore client for Fediverse.

I am a big fan of Pinafore, since first trying it six months ago. It is a popular client with power users, as it is FAST and Light, plus has elegant design, clean UI and many nice features.

Nolan Lawson is the author of Pinafore, and I have told him many times how I enjoy it.

As part of Fandom, I thought we could do more to support Great Software, and requested a new Project Forum for Pinafore here at our Discourse Forum. Our Qoto.org admin graciously agreed and created it, and it's now opening for business.

As a matter of fact, an Introductory post was needed, so here we are. :smileycat:

* Selecting Colour Themes for our various instances in the Pinafore Client for Fediverse *

@globcoco

>> The same I used at mamot.
>> I think that if I'm using the same pages and layout I might confuse myself but I love the easy set up.

* Go into Settings and select one of the instances you have configured (hint -- double click on the Star in the right, and it's a ONE click switch, instantaneous).

* Done that? Now go into Settings --> General Settings.

* Slide to the Bottom of the page.

* and select one of the many Themes - Light or Dark, whichever you prefer.

* that theme becomes the Default for the current instance, and by selecting different ones, we can tell we are in one place or another.

There's lots of choices and the client is really a delight to use.

...but posted at top level so people can see it.

* Intuition.

When you heart and your mind concur that something is a good idea, I like to follow.

Example, inviting someone I met yesterday and had some wonderful conversations with. An attentive listener, a bright mind and a fast learner.

Confirmed when I look at the person's profile after just a few hours, and find it already growing roots and being an appreciated part of our community.

Those followers, they all agree.

Hope we could find such great people more often, but it's a joy. Welcome to Coralie. You are a Star.

Thank you for the stimulating conversations.

**And Here's Another of Those Designer Ideas, by RG...**

A preview only but it's looking nice, and I will be gladly sharing it soon on the Follow on Friday feature posts.

A list of Feline lover and cat posting accounts all over Fediverse, including some I had never seen, courtesy of my good friend @realcaseyrollins -- Thank you!

Discouse Forum is a pretty way to organize information, I will have to think on what's the best way to provide as much within the limits of a Toot in Mastodon -- or better, in my GlitchSocial account.

** Finding and Using a good Image Hosting Service **

I just posted a Detailed Guide to uploading files to a Image Host, here in a reply, deep into a Thread.

It is an important and useful subject -- so I copied and expanded the post, it's on my GlitchSocial Web Publishing account -- https://muensterland.social/@rgx

...but it looks Miles better at the other place.

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

What would this person add to ANY instance ?

Seen on the news just now.

When a Ministry of Health high officer uses a Special Forces Dagger and Skull, what do we read on that?

As #DefundThePolice spreads, you may be wondering what, exactly that means. It means a new kind of policing, with a dramatically shrunken role, one that excludes social work, mental health interventions, drug counselling, etc.

* Guia de Usuarios en Español para Write.freely *

Ange hizo una guía agradable e ilustrada para los nuevos usuarios de los blogs Write.freely, pero todo está en francés.

El objetivo es ayudar a las personas interesadas en usar la instancia write.freely en TeDomum.net, que ha sido el hogar de mi blog. Esta mañana me tomé un tiempo y traduje su guía al Español.

Ahora la página está en mi blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/guia-de-usuarios-en-espanol-para-write-freely
