@mathieualain You're on Mastodon.social and that's hit real hard by the new wave of users, so yeah. The smaller instances don't have this problem much.

And personally I prefer to use the mobile web interface as that's already mobile friendly. On top of that I'm on a modified instance, which has extra features that the apps won't cover. You use default Mastodon there, I'd say Fedilab is pretty decent, as is Tusky.

@louiscouture Ah glad that it isn't severe (yet). Well, then just have a great weekend! And glad that Monday is covered!

@TJ_dacks Excellent! Hope your experience here's improved now! :)

@louiscouture Ah darn. Well, it is weekend, so just try to relax and listen to cool stuff?

@TJ_dacks That's strange, because slow mode adds a clickable 'x new items' on top which then shows new content after clicking on it. Try reloading the site?

Have you saved the changes after selecting slow mode? Might be that it got overlooked as the save button is at the top.

@TJ_dacks I generally use the web interface because Qoto has extra features which won't get reflected properly in most apps.

Would using another browser be an option? There's Vivaldi for Android that I use which seems to work fine.

If you really want an app, people have reported Fedilab or Tusky working okay with this instance.

I can also recommend turning on the 'Slow' option in the settings, maybe that's the cause for the scrolling.

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse, by the way!

@amytabb That's cute. At my parents' place there's a woodpecker family visiting regularly to get some food from the feeders. :)

@albertcardona That's the way to go, organizations having their own instances!

@manjuggm Quite a long read, but it's fairly good. Seems accurate enough to me.

It doesn't take into account that various instances can have modifications. So we have quote-toots on Qoto, but the default Mastodon doesn't have that.
I can see the dunking issue, but since we're a STEM oriented instance, our quote-toot usually is used for displaying other interesting scientific stuff I've noticed.

Und mal wieder ein Ryna Update. Nachdem wir am Vormittag die gewohnten Runden gedreht haben sollte es am Nachmittag mal auf was neues gehen. Unser 'Kiez' ist ja soweit ganz ruhig, da trifft mal kaum auf Menschen und vor allem keine Hunde.
Also sollte es heute mal in Richtung Stadt gehen. So wie erwartet waren die Leute dann doch nichts für Ryna. Die Maus verfiel zwar nichtmehr in Ihren Panikmuster, aber sie wollte dann doch liebes zurück. Ich sehe aber schon den Fortschritt das ihr altes Panikmuster (kompletter Stillstand, und ich bewege mich keinen Zentimeter weiter) schon zu 'ich gehe einfach zurück, da kann mir nichts passieren' gewechselt hat.

Ich hoffe ja immernoch ein liebes Zuhause für die kleines Maus zu finden, aber auch wenn sich jemand aus zu einer Gassirunde treffen möchte bin ich da aufgeschlossen. Die kleine Maus brauch halt viel Zeit und Liebe um ihre Vergangenheit zu bewältigen. Ich kann nur erahnen was die kleine in ihren jungen Jahren erlebt hat, und kann nur hoffen das irgendwann das unbeschwerte Leben für ihr anfangen kann.

@manjuggm Indeed! And we're very relaxed around here in general so long you respect the other users. :)

I joined years ago largely for the features this server has to offer, and I've never regretted it. ;)

For some reason during this exodus, at least as far as QOTO is concerned, I've noticed a very large portion of people coming in are women scientists. Sadly women seem to be a minority representation in STEM, so seeing this makes me happy as I think women bring a lot to STEM communities.

That said, I am left curious why... what about this exodus has more women in STEM migrating than usual.. Is musk in some way seen as more abrasive to women than he is to men?

@Yasha That is certainly a very unique looking bird. A shame they're so rare. What do they generally eat?

@sergeant@mstdn.social Alleen maar omdat het niet zo'n geweldig weer is.

@sergeant@mstdn.social Tja, een lichtje in het duister is toch wel prettig. ;)

@Yasha Wow, I can see why they could be seen as a Quetzalcoatl! 😮

The resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a small bird found in Central America. Males grow ostentatious tail feathers during mating season, that can reach up to one meter in length. Quetzal birds were considered sacred by the Aztecs and Incas, serving as a template for gods like Quetzalcoatl.
Or in short: They are very pretty to look at :ablobhype:
