We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-alpha.3+mementomods-2024-05-01. The server has Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc37 installed with no further changes at this time in the UI.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 158 commits ahead from the last version 2024-04-06.
I love running the newest version so I can test ahead in production for the upcoming Mastodon Bird UI versions. I do have my local instance with the production db, but it is far more fun this way and it feels good to have new things.
This "testing in live" is also because it's the perfect way to make sure that I can help contributing to Mastodon and spot bugs before they end up in the final rc, beta or stable versions. There most probably will be some minor bugs, but the earlier we tackle them the better.
As usual, please tell me about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind.

My apologies to the Slashdotted admin.
"Please don't share our content because of server load" sounds an awful lot like an admin/config problem.
Also sounds a lot like a plea for a centralized link preview farm.
Oh no the server is Melton, @lisamelton

Is it hard to write a #mastodon client?
I mean, the protocol and whatnot, not the actual app stuff, I'm good at that.
Hah, I wanted to share this article from It's FOSS News on here but don't want to cause the issue they describe in it, so I won't link to it directly.
They only mention #Mastodon in this article, but would this not be a wider issue on most #fediverse platforms?

May I just say that not being able to set your own fucking character limit on your own fucking Mastodon instance without having to fucking fork fucking Mastodon is a fucking pain in the fucking arse.
Thank you for listening and here’s wishing you a lovely day.
Nice demonstration of why mastodon's dominance is problematic
See the conversions here:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4628
and
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federating-the-content-of-posts-note-articles-and-character-limits/4087
AFAICT, mastodon's decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon's quirks in different ways.
It seems like masto is ruining "the standard" with its gravity.

In the latest episode of #DotSocial I interview @snarfed.org, a passionate bridge builder with a focus on connecting people across the open web and the #fediverse. His latest work, #BridgyFed, connects #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol resulting in excitement, critique and *lots* of discussion.
Ryan and I talk about the parallel communities on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, their shared desire to create an open social web and the pros and cons of their underlying protocols, #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol. Can or should these be bridged? If so, how? As whole new communities continue to join the fediverse, how should the user experience evolve?
Listen to this excellent discussion on our @PeerTube instance or wherever you get your #podcasts.

Ugh. I have so much resentment for Fedi admins who shut down instances without doing their due diligence to make sure their users are taken care of.🤬🤦♂️
Worst, if you make an announcement about a shutdown, claiming you'll help, then proceed to delete that announcement and then your account, making getting that help impossible.🙄
Like wtf.

Mastodon: Gemeinwohlorientierte Digitalisierung braucht Unterstützung statt Steine im Weg
Das Finanzamt hat den Hauptentwicklern von Mastodon die Gemeinnützigkeit aberkannt. Wer Digitalisierung und digitale Souveränität vorantreiben will, sollte die Entwicklung von freier und offener Software als gemeinnützig anerkennen. Ein Kommentar.netzpolitik.org

Deutsche Politiker*innen: Wie bitter, dass wir es in Deutschland und Europa nicht geschafft haben, sowas wie Facebook, Twitter aufzubauen. Und diese US-Plattformen gefährden mit ihren Algorithmen jetzt unsere Demokratie.
Deutsche Finanzbehörden: Lasst uns eine der wichtigsten gemeinwohlorientierten Plattform, die in Deutschland entwickelt wurde und weltweit eine Alternative zu Facebook und X bietet, die Gemeinnützigkeit entziehen, Karnevalsvereine dürfen sie aber natürlich behalten. #mastodon
There are actually people that are asking for an un-federated, Fediverse platform....
And they don't see how ridiculous this is!
These types of platforms have been around for decades! They're called forums and they don't have federation at all!
FediTip of the day:
If you're new, you might want to post an #introduction post littered with hashtags that are related to your interests.
A lot of people browse that hashtag to find new users and help them along.
A lot of instances don't allow full text search, therefore hashtags are their only way of seeing your posts.

I find myself using the same hashtags for my interests, over and over. However, there doesn't seem to be an app, so far, that allows me to have a list of frequently used tags so I don't have to retype them for every single post...
How is this not a thing yet? I've been BEGGING for a "Hashtag Drawer" type feature in apps for AGES now...🤦♂️
Reflecting on the firefish/calckey "moment"
which was about a year ago now, I can't help but suspect it was a small event with wider implications on the dominance of #mastodon in the #fediverse
I think it was the last chance to direct the twitter migration energy into discovering new/different fedi platforms.
And it was blown, with alt-social in a weird steady/waiting state that's smaller I suspect, than what many hoped for.

So the basic story would be that mastodon's dominance is pretty entrenched and the "migration" event is mostly "over" (whatever other "events" are on their way) But I wonder about the details of the firefish moment I think it revealed that there ar…Hachyderm.io
When I go to see old conversations I've had on Mastodon, I usually can't see the replies from other users. Can someone explain why this happens and what I can do to prevent it? I really like being able to refer back to old interactions. Would being on a larger server help?
