@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.

Good lord this is not going well.

About to migrate my account to @lorihc@mastodon.social, if I can get the last step to work…

Preparing to move my account to @lorihc@mastodon.social...

@ceoln AHA! Found it. So not "Favourite hashtags," but "Follows and subscriptions > Following hashtags.”

@ceoln Thanks, yeah, my instance's website has a “Favourite hashtags" under Preferences that I filled in a little bit ago, after my attempt to follow in Ivory failed.

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.

@dimillian There should be 3 lists here. Instead there is only “Create new list”

I caved and re-subscribed to Ivory on all platforms.

79 years ago, patriotic Americans went to France to throw out the Nazis. This year, all you have to do is go to the polls and vote.

@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.

So far Mona is nice, but I find the formatting of quote toots makes my timeline hard to parse visually.

Me in a nutshell: Cozy hearts and prickly F* no!s

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. swift.org/documentation/api-de

IceCubes is my preferred Mastodon client, but I’m going to need to find another solution with 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.
