@realcaseyrollins Yea following on funkwhale seems to only work between funkwhale instances themselves. Its just not implemented in code yet

Also: if any existing friends are on Mastodon and I’m not following you, please tell at me! I’ve started using it a ton more and am really enjoying it but I also wanna keep up with existing friends. 😛

You know how every streaming service has their own apps with their own UIs for navigating the catalog and playing back video which can be flaky depending on the app and the device?

What if there was a single unifying app (legitimate one btw) for all the major services? Kinda like the RetroArch of streaming.

Spent about 10 minutes in the Mastodon “Federated” tab. Followed some folks who looked interesting. My timeline is about to get a lot more active, hopefully!

Now that the upgrade is complete a lot of you are probably curious about the new features we added. They were mostly pulled in from the Fedibird fork, but the code had to be considerable modified to get fully working. The following is the complete list of new features introduced in this upgrade.

Domain Subscriptions - Bring another instance's local timeline as a feed in QOTO, no need to have an account on another server again, just import their timeline here!

Keyword Subscriptions - Create custom timelines based off keywords not just hashtags, you can even use regex for advanced matching

Account Subscriptions - This allows you to follow a remote accounts public toots in your Home timeline without actually following them, great for following users with locked accounts.

Misskey compatible quoting of toots

Bookmarking of toots

Support for WebP and HEIC media uploads

An update to the getting-started menu to include center stage links to #QotoJournal and the @QOTO announcements account (me!)

why does the verge even bother to make political or political-adjacent articles anymore? oh thats right, their target audience has zero political sense.

Strongly considering pitching Mastodon to my wife as an artsier, weirder, and gayer Twitter. I think it could work. 🤔

When reading Scripture, every time you come across the word “THEREFORE”, stop and find out what it’s there for.

As someone born again, you belong to The Lord.
That means forever.
As such, He is much more interested in developing your character through your circumstances [spiritual eyes] than He is in how you may feel about them [natural eyes].
Everyone alive and saved has both sets of eyes.
Through which set are you looking at your life?
1 Corinthians 2:15-16 (NLT)
Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
