For all the new users comign to QOTO from twitter I just wanted to let you know we have an option front end you can use that looks and feels exactly like the twitter front end. Just go to halcyon.qoto.org once there use the following format for your login name (remove the spaces): @ username @ qoto.org

@Sander ohh you probably tried to use it for your own instance. thats intentional it can only be used for qoto.org users

@freemo Ah I see! Indeed, the system couldn’t create a txt for Toot.World

@Sander yea we created the qoto.org text file then locked down the data folder so it didnt have write permission. In this way only qoto.org users can login. Sorry. I'm not opposed to opening it up to other instances to use though, but there are other instances that do that so I didnt think it was needed.

@freemo No prob at all! I don’t like the frontage of the interface and the fact that it isn’t responsive😬

@Sander I dont personally use halcyon either. Its really just there to accommodate twitter users who might be attached to the interface they are used to.

@freemo It’s great you can offer it to those who like to use it :blobfingerguns:

@Sander Yea we have a lot of added services like nextcloud, peertube, and soon funkwhale and pixelfed.

@freemo Does Nextcloud also have the ActivityPub implemented? I tried Pixfed yesterday but there are just to many bugs and unfortunately not ready for a production server

@Sander yea nextcloud is ActivityPub we didnt release our server just yet (still testing) but you can get a sneak peek here: cloud.qoto.org

@freemo Nice! Used it some years ago but that’s sounds great! Unfortunately the url gives me a blank

@Sander thats odd, the url works for atleast a dozen other people around the world. I wonder why that would be...

@freemo Thanks! May I ask how do you pay for the server? Community support?

@Sander I make enough money to support it myself. Donations yes most of which come from me.

@freemo I see, same for me since TootWorld isn’t a very populated instance yet.. What do you do for a living? #Netherlands

@Sander I work for a few clients from the USA but i work remotely from the netherlands (I refuse to pay dutch taxes, their insane). I do software.

@freemo Nice :) Do you also have some clients from the Netherlands or US only? Haha I know, insanely high.. But on the other side, we have it quite good here I think! What do you think of NL so far?
