@EllisCrawford Ah yes. We shouldn't forget that we're dealing with a cat here. 😋

@spen Make sure to read the About page of every server what their house rules are like.

@adi No, the Fediverse has existed for a while and is its own network. Maybe it replaces Twitter for you, but for me has been my home for years.

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!

@Higgs Hello Boson! Err, I mean.. hello Higgs!

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse, and forgive me this lame pun. ;)

@davoloid Looks bonkers to me! ;)

So what's done with those conkers?

@EllisCrawford Ahhh. Right, I know pedigree cats can be receptive for certain diseases/illnesses. It's one reason why I prefer to stick to generic shorthairs.

Well, I hope she's about better now? Or getting better soon at least! She does look lovely! Give her some extra cuddle from me. ;)

@gnutrisquel55 Hi, I'm not sure what kind of videos those are, something with Thinkpad T60s for sure. But could you limit the amount of posts in a certain time frame? This is starting to look like spam.

@EllisCrawford Posh cat.. what? I don't know if you were making a joke or not, so I'd better ask. ;)

@EllisCrawford I would be totally zonked too!

Is everything going well with her so far?

@HumanITy Cute. Red cats are pretty crazy in my experience. ;)

@rotate26chars I'd say check the rules on your server what is allowed.

I've been on here for a while, but hey, since there's an influx of users that might still see the original instance

@abde And people can always figure it out later and move on to another instance. I started out on .social as well until I figured out that there are other instances with bigger post size limits. ;)

@tho@c.im Flemish is Dutch that's spoken in Belgium.

I believe that's the basic gist of it.

I think Dutchies would be tempted to say that Flemish is a dialect... but it is simply Dutch that's spoken in Flanders.. and because it's a different region, different culture, the kind of Dutch differs too.

Just like Austria and Germany both speak German... but yet they differ from each other as well.

By the way, if you are starting up your own fediverse server, it may be tempting to blindly copy someone else's block list, but some corners of the fediverse have been a bit over eager with full instance bans, in my opinion, which tends to break the whole federation model (imagine if you couldn't email anyone with a certain university's email domain because your email provider disagrees with the university policies).

If an instance is putting a lot of irritating stuff in your server's global timeline, it might be better to just mute them from the global timeline.

@albertcardona And, improtantly, no pesky algorithm deciding what you should see.

@shakiguani @engelbart Qoto is one of the most connected servers and has almost no blocks in place. Some servers block us with that as reason. Not much we can do about it, we certainly welcome federation.

@shakiguani toot.cat has blocked qoto.org according to their About page. The migrate feature won't work between servers which can't comunicate with each other. Anyone on Qoto.org won't be able to follow you there.

Good luck with your new home!

@brandonb_phy For some reason it looks to me like Orion's up to some mischief!
