🎓 Doc Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@qoto.org

@zleap Thanks.

I am going to try to find time this weekend to add in several new features to QOTO, fix a few small bugs, and if we aare REALLY lucky and things go well I might release a new version of QOTO this weekend (no promises though my life is CRAZY right now, hard to predict).

@zonarolo Yea, most mastodon servers only let you search on hashtags and not free text. As such hash tags are used a lot since its the best way to be seen in a search.

That said QOTO is somewhat unique (we arent the only ones) who allow free form text searches. We are also one of the oldest servers with an unpurged index. Meaning we are one of **very** few servers that lets you search back to the earlier days of the fediverse and has a very large portion of the entire fediverse history in our database.

@arinbasu

Very happy to hear this as well!

@DrK

It makes me really happy to hear that. Me and many others here have committed a lot of effort to try to have a community mature enough to talk and not fight, to be respectful and decent without the need for much if any censorship (there is always the occasional bad actor, but its rare).

Myself and im sure my fellow long-time qoto members all appreciate very much hearing that you feel safe and at home here, and most important, you are happy to be here.

@arinbasu @SteveZissou

Looks like I might just hit 30K followers in the next 3 days or so at current rates... Who wants to have a beer to celebrate?

@zonarolo Welcome to the gang! Great to have you. Hit me up anytime if you feel like chattinng.

@arinbasu

That is high praise indeed! Thank you.

@SteveZissou

@miguelmcminn So am I, Hi :)

@zonarolo Check out #FF or #FollowFriday hash tags. If you want my personal suggestions just search for that tag on my feed and should give you plenty of suggestions with some descriptions.

@arinbasu

I am obviously biased but I think we have hands down one of the best servers on the fediverse. Drama is very rare here and when someone comes who does tend to start it they never last long. Amazing for an instance which doesnt limit the topics we are allowed to talk about and generally encourages free speech (hate speech not being free speech).

Its the first time I've ever seen a social media community actually work and get a long. I love it here.

@SteveZissou

@arinbasu

Thanks, sounds interesting... I will check it out.

@zleap

@pwinn You can actually see those bumps (or at least the major ones) on our own timeline of user growth: @users

Cool share thanks!

@arinbasu

Very cool!
