It is a REALLY good idea to write an introductory post about yourself and pin it to your profile. Pinned posts appear at the top of your profile page, and they also have a special ability to federate much more widely than ordinary posts.
Here's why it matters: there's a quirk on Mastodon where some profiles may appear blank to people on some servers, but profiles with pinned posts never look blank to anyone!
Could you elaborate on what you mean about these posts federating more widely? Is it the hashtag or the pinned status that causes this? I'm a self-hosted server admin and still did not know this. I run the software but clearly don't know how it all works.
It's nothing to do with hashtags, it's the status of the post as being pinned.
Mastodon will automatically fetch any remote post which is pinned (in a process called "backfilling") as soon as a profile is mentioned or visited on a server.
This doesn't happen for non-pinned posts, only pinned posts.
(Non-pinned remote posts only get fetched if someone on the server is following the account before the post was published, or if they are following someone who shared a remote post.)
> "Non-pinned remote posts only get fetched if someone on the server is following the account before the post was published, or if they are following someone who shared a remote post."
Why? From a user standpoint this is incredibly bad design. It adds so much friction, frustration and conflict and it makes this place seem even more empty than it is and it is a centralising force because the problem is most noticeable on smaller instances.
This is the only social media where I go to a profile and I can even follow a profile and I will not be able to see all the posts that the profile's owner put there for people like me to see. At least not in a way where I can also interact with them. It's the only social media where before every reply I post I have to leave the app and go to another website to check if someone else already made the same reply - and if I find there that someone did, I can't interact with that to agree.
If this is inherent to federated social media and unfixable, then maybe federated social media is a bad idea and it shouldn't exist. If it's no

If this is inherent to federated social media and unfixable, then maybe federated social media is a bad idea and it shouldn't exist. If it's not inherent to it, why after almost 10 years of mastodon, is it still a problem?
It's not unfixable, the fact all pinned posts federate automatically on Mastodon shows backfilling is possible on Mastodon.
PeerTube already backfills accounts completely, if you follow an account on PeerTube from another PeerTube account on a different server, you will see a complete list of videos published by that account.
The challenge on Mastodon is that there are typically hundreds/thousands of posts instead of a few dozen videos.
I wonder if instead of trying to fetch all posts and storing them on the local database, there could just be a more robust solution to interacting with posts on other instances and then when you click on a profile, it can just go to their instance or it embeds the post view from their instances like news articles embed social media posts.
Similarly when you click on a post it just embeds what the replies in the author's instance look like. Though at least the not seeing all replies issue is getting fixed by other means
That's pretty much what happens if you go to the "original page" of a post or profile (more info: fedi.tips/what-are-original-pa…).
If you want to interact though, you have to fetch a post or profile onto your server which takes up resources, which is why instances have to be somewhat picky about what they fetch.
Having said that, there is room for them to fetch a lot more automatically than they do right now. That's why today's announcement is so important: social.growyourown.services/@F…

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳
The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

Astounding!! Finally you can see the cover of the anthology I've been working on for the past couple of years with co-editors @older and Karen Lord! "We Will Rise Again" is full of essays, interviews, and speculative stories about protest, social movements, and hopeful resistance -- all informed by the experiences of real-life movement leaders and community organizers.

As a web developer, I love Mastodon: Since Twitter became X, there are enough web dev people here. I’m happy with the web app – it even has several nice touches where it is better than Twitter.

I remember that I missed parts of an extended discussion a while ago using mastodon's standard web UI and it looked like #PhanpySocial showed more (transitive) answers. But is it actually possible to solve this problem purely on the client side?
Yes it is, you can already manually pull in all the public parts of a discussion by opening the thread's "original page" and then copy-pasting the URLs of all the replies into the search box on your instance. This is very tedious so no one does this, but there's nothing to stop a client or script or instance doing it automatically.
I am not a dev but AFAIK the main holdup has been how to do this efficiently without causing strain on instances.
I just finished A Pail of Air by Fritz Leiber over at Project Gutenberg. It's great post apocalyptic tale about earth thrown into a deep freeze after a rogue Star tears the planet from its orbit. There's not a lot of action but the world building is phenomenal. I'd love to read more stories set in this universe. #scifi #pulp #apocalypse #ProjectGutenberg

it is important to point out that this is very experimental, behind a feature flag, and there will be a need for more changes to get it in front of people. Also we don’t recommend activating it yet, this may have significant performance implications or bugs.
That’s fine and normal and I’ll be happy to wait until it shakes out. I think this is the correct direction. Partial reply threads one of the pain points of Fediverse discourse.

Using the shell command in CAD software might seem like an easy way to hollow out a model for 3D printing, but it often leads to inconsistent wall thickness and print artifacts. This post explains why the shell command falls short and introduces a more precise manual modeling approach to achieve uniform, high-quality prints.
The Canadian Conservative Party has a massive war-chest and they’ve basically been campaigning non-stop since the last election. The Liberals on the other hand have kept their heads down and have been busy running things, basically ceding the floor to Poilievre and his grievance-politics.
Additionally, the Liberal government under Trudeau have been in power for almost a decade, so people got just kind of bored with them.
It's pretty rare that governments last longer than two full terms (10 years max, but generally closer to 8). Trudeau was leader for 9 and a bit. That would make him the 6th or 7th longest serving PM.
He had a lot of baggage from a few relatively minor scandals and dealing with Covid. There was also a constant anti-Trudeau drumbeat from Western and mostly rural based grievance operations, well funded by the oil, gas and coal industries.
PP made it his duty to appeal to the anti-vax and grievance voters. A lot of the rest were just leaning "not-Trudeau". As soon as Trudeau stepped down, conservative support started to slide.
Good question. A compliant unquestioning media, sketchy polling, the constant far right drum beat of "fuck Trudeau", well organized social media disinformation campaign funded by who knows who? All of the above?
I'll add...the Liberals did a piss poor job of promoting their accomplishments in gov't. Their Comms team, if they even had one, should have been fired years ago.

I had meant to try out Floorp ages back but never got around to it so now after the Mozilla situation is as good a time as any, is it a good Firefox based br...
Floorp is what I recommend to people, who insist on sticking with Firefox.
As you pointed out, the obvious, if Firefox goes, so will all these many Firefox clones, because none of them have expressed interest in hard-forking Firefox, and going independent.
But, Floorp has two advantages.
1) They do not break things. LibreWolf, will break something (often), then blame Firefox. Which only further hurts, Firefox, which in turn only hurts, LibreWolf. -- It is a snake eating its tail. I think the 1x Floorp broke something, they patched it right away, and they owned up to their issue. They did not try to pass the blame, as LibreWolf does.
2) Floorp is very similar to Vivaldi Browser. If Firefox, goes, it would be nice not to have a big learning curve, if you need to switch browsers. If you've learned Floorp, you've more or less learned, Vivaldi, in many ways.
These are two things, I believe can help users in the long run.
@Linux floorp is a nice browser, if somewhat needing a lot of tweaks. I use it as part of my isolated browsing system
Librewolf is my main personal browser and it hasn't really broken anything for me. I don't use it for streaming services or anything requiring DRM
There is 1 site that is buggy (canva) in librewolf (i use floorp for that) but everything else is fine so I don't know what people who have big problems with it are trying to do other than using DRM services
