@puzzl Learning another language is very difficult. You are trying so dont be discouraged. It will get better with time I'm sure and you should be proud you can speak another language at all because it isnt easy.

@puzzl

Just keep posting quality content and you are already helping :)

Minor Update just went down to the instance ticker. The qoto.org instance ticker now has its own custom icon and colors. Since we are a significant fork from vanilla mastodon it made sense that we have our own unique colors to represent QOTO instance and derivatives.

Please let us know if anyone sees any unintended side effects or if anyone doesnt like the new change. We can always fix it.

@freemo @design_RG @sozialwelten
my focus right now is modularizing the NodeJS ActivityPub implementation that I created for @GuppeGroups and implementing the rest of the spec so it can be used to build other apps, e.g. events. github.com/wmurphyrd/activityp
So, not likely to make any progress on Guppe soon, but forks and other instances are highly encouraged 👍

This is the new server favicon :beaker: which in a few days should update as our instance ticker icon too.. thoughts?

@freemo
I think adding control and administration features to Guppe Groups would be excellent, right now it seems to be fully functional but there's no way to stop spamming or block any bad content.

Alex wrote a Blog post about Guppe and he mentioned the moderation problem, along with some suggestions -- including the First User becoming the group owner.

Having Groups working would benefit users in many instances, not just Qoto. So if you do have some ideas and the time to work on it, it's a nice project.

@design_RG

Thanks.

Hey @datatitian any plans in the immediate future to implement permissions and ownership schemes in gup.pe? Only asking so I can decide if it makes sense to fork the project and add it in a fork or if it makes sense to wait if its on your plans

We are back from a successful upgrade!

Only one new feature this time. We added Instance Ticker headers in the default theme. It is now much easier to see which server someone is from and what software that server runs beneath a persons name.

If you dont like the new default tickers and preferred the old theme you can set it in the themes to use the default theme without tickers.

Enjoy the new feature.

(Now I try to make anime GIF by GIMP! (And the fonts are YOzFontM90 yozvox.web.fc2.com/ ) And Now I noticed that QOTO's favicon is cute! qoto.org/favicon.ico )

@Noelvera

TL;DR you are probably fine, share away, just dont spam

Most likely yes, the key is that as a new user try to be mindful not to make it look spammy. You are welcome to post your own work or even links to blogs but we expect you to be active in the community and not just be a link farm. Otherwise your good.

Check out qoto.org/about/more for some details on our rules and what is allowed and what isnt.

@Noelvera Hello, Noel, yes, you can post a new Toot - and it will be sent all over the place.

Suggestions:

- Have a title line, space it at the top so it stands out.

- add an attractive image, related to your post's text.

f you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-gu

We also have another new users guide, posted here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

Alert, we are being flooding with sex spam bots, new one every minute or so, same post. I have had to suspend about 4 or 5 and black list the emails. I am on a alert right now so nothing you guys have to do but keep an eye out the next day or so, not sure how long this will continue.

#fedibird #qoto Qutoという海外のMastodonサーバがFedibirdの各種機能をマージしました。違いはLTLを無効にしていないぐらいかな。

これで、

Fedibird #fedibird
ふるどん #frfr
DTP-Mstdn.jp #dtp
Qoto #qoto

の4つのサーバがFedibirdの血族になった感じですね。期せずして、それぞれ専用のハッシュタグまであったりして。

The Math rendering on works again (might need to reload your browser and give it a second to catch up the first time).

Here is a little Latex joke to kick it off.

Expand \((a+b)^n\):

\[
(a + b)^n\\
(a\ + \ b)^n\\
(a\quad + \quad b)^n\\
(a\qquad + \qquad b)^n\\
\]

Lists in mastodon were completely useless until we added the new features to QOTO for subscribing to remote instances local timelines and other subscriptions. There is a certain satisfaction in making a useless feature useful. It felt like wasted space before.

If you can't tell I'm super happy and excited about all the new features we added. So much fun getting to use them and knowing we are the only english speaking instance to have these features :)

I wanted to kick off the hashtag by sharing a free open-source book I started writing some time ago...

I started writing a book in an attempt to help explain how to do circuit analysis by hand. Originally it was going to include both time-domain analysis as well as frequency-domain analysis. The book is incomplete and I never got to cover the time-domain but has several complete examples showing frequency-domain analysis on many common circuits. I’ve gotten some compliments over the years, particularly from HAM radio operators, on how useful the book has been to them. I’d like to share here what I have so far in case anyone might find it useful.

As a side note if anyone would like to revive the project and work with me on expanding and completing the book it would be most welcome. Please feel free to contact me. In the meantime here is the compiled book in its current form. I don’t currently have the latex source code published anywhere but if there is any interest I will happily publish it and open-source it on github.

Here is a direct link to the book: discourse.qoto.org/uploads/sho

You can also view the book as a feed in my blog here: jeffreyfreeman.me/frequency-do

If you wish to comment or discuss it there is a discourse post for it here: discourse.qoto.org/t/frequency

Should we add the color-coded server indicator from the themes into the default theme (keeping everything else as-is)?
