@denisdepalatis I keep getting a "something went wrong on our side!" error every time I try to complete the migration by entering the new handle and my current password. Getting tired of watching an animation of a mammoth banging a keyboard.
@august Yeah, I should probably do that.
@ceoln Thank you for your help!
@ceoln AHA! Found it. So not "Favourite hashtags," but "Follows and subscriptions > Following hashtags.”
I mostly really like Mastodon, especially as a tool for listening to and interacting with the developer community. But the federated bit still bites me, given that I joined at a time when there was a mass migration off of Tw*tter and some of the more popular instances were closed to new accounts. I’m finding that my instance does not support things like editing posts (a thing that other users seem to think is universal!), and I'll be darned if I can figure out how to follow a hashtag.
It's batshit crazy that the world's largest company is in the shitter because it needs to grow double-digits every year. Give me the world where a company can just make its good shit and prosper without burning the world to the ground.

@kylebshr I have; didn’t love it enough to keep subscribing, as at the time I preferred (and still do) Ice Cubes. The Lists being broken in Ice Cubes, tho, is rapidly becoming a dealbreaker.
The Swift API guidelines are really good. They’re worth reading even if you’re not interested in Swift just to see an example of how to communicate this kind of information well. https://www.swift.org/documentation/api-design-guidelines/
IceCubes is my preferred Mastodon client, but I’m going to need to find another solution with #WWDC coming up because Lists are broken in IceCubes. I use Lists extensively to quickly to collect feedback (and Feedbacks!), since my regular timeline is not all about tech.
Browsers should refuse to respect paste-disabling. This is not something that any user wants.
Now posting @lorihc. Find me there!
