@shanselman Nice to see you here Scott! It's now been 8 years since @Beantin and I talked to you on @uxpodcast 😅

@elhult

Thanks. 😊 If you want to have a look at my own posts around Mastodon/Fediverse they are all tagged fediverse on my blog:

@nwah

Why would a number like ~25 be ideal?

@aral

@nwah

Right, but this is about long term strategy and vision, not necessarily what is happening amidst current confusion.

That is: do we want to avoid centralisation or not? If we do, we should design to support that vision.

The short term suggestion of limiting number of people per instance is appealing, and does not mean most people have to run their own instance.

Yet 😉

@aral

@ducky

Thanks. Would I be correct in assuming that" following a hashtag shows all the posts in the federated timeline also in the home timeline if they are tagged with that hashtag and even if you are not following the original poster"?

@Judeeflick

@shaun put together this great list of resources (and yes, a couple of my posts are in there as well 😊). Particularly the "10 tips" one talks about instances.

Thank you Shaun 🙏

@shaun Fantastic work Shaun. I've written som guides and other articles on Mastodon and the fediverse that I've received positive feedback on.

If you want to consider them for inclusion you can find them all under the same tag on my blog :)

@troed Fair question. I honestly haven't given it much thought yet. Just saw that argument and realised I haven't taken steps one way or the other.

I guess in the end I also don't trust all search engines to obey the indexing rules. But at least I can block unauthenticated users from public timelines I realised now.

@evan

I chose social.<name>.<tld>

But the important point for me is that the other two options have weaknesses. Anyone can register <name>.social before the organisation gets there, so you really want the domain name you already are on, for purposes of trust.

When it comes to Mastodon, you don't know that is the software you will necessarily always be using. So that one's out. 😁

But when it comes to which subdomain, not as important, Though I obviously like the one (social) you suggested 😉

@fkling

Almost. As I am a single-user instance (even though I have a few accounts) I can say that:

* boosts show in the home timeline when it is boosted, but in the federated timeline the boosted toots instead show at their own real timestamp, not as boosted

* if someone I follow sets their toot to followers only I only see it in Home.

* Replies between people I follow I only see in Home.

The federated timeline is the same for everyone on your instance.

Subtle differences.

@prosumer Ah I need to clarify this. I didn't realise the pro plan was needed for html widgets. Could be the case you can add a link href in the header instead. Can check this later today.

@prosumer As it turns out, the Pro plan ($19/year) is needed for both types of link verifications.

Sorry about that, will make it more clear in the post.

@missiggeek

Hehe, I know the feeling. And today I really should have talked to you before I published my first musing at breakfast. 😅

On the other hand, it gave reason to talk to a lot of people, which was fun.

I'm excited about Mastodon but also keep seeing small problems all over the place.

Feel like it's important to address them and talk about them. You always do a fantastic job at this.

@missiggeek

Oooh. Thank you for taking the time replying to all those toots. 😊
