@reedlindwurm It was @graue who wrote this. Good stuff. I added a link to it on my Mastodon tips page as well.

@tivasyk Oh, very good point. Translations will sometimes hinder understanding and adoption.
@Dave42W Only followers and follows move with, not posts. It was relatively easy. A step-by-step process.
@nemobis Sorry, I believe my use of the word ”reply” will have confused people.
The idea was that if you write a thread of 5 toots, you set toots 2-5 as unlisted. Then only the initial toot will appear in feeds, but you can click through to see all of them.
My understanding was that setting a toot as Unlisted would have the effect that you are looking for.
@tivasyk @HunterZ I feel I may have confused people a bit with how I worded that. I don't mean that people who reply should set their replies as unlisted (necessarily). Rather, if a person writes a thread of 5 toots, they can set toots number 2-5 as unlisted. Then people will see the first toot but not the rest in their feeds. Which in many cases will make more sense.
@tivasyk @HunterZ But the correct response to your question is that anything that is public will be visible once you view any toot in the thread. That goes for all the toots in the thread and any replies from other people.
Something to consider is @mastohost and perhaps the Star plan. i.e. set a limit of 100 people on it to start. It's priced at $19/month. You can use any domain name you want with this as well.
I've used masto host twice before running my own server and have been very impressed with the speed and support.
You'd likely want to limit signups so there will be a bit of work reviewing who gets to be on it but I think you already have a good idea 😊
@ruchowdh @evijitghosh @mastohost
Given what @karlhigley wrote about moderation (a relevant point) you could go for an instance with max 20 people, all of who you know, and share the cost of $9/month. There would hopefully be very little moderation needed.
Or just roll your own for one person. My Local feed is just me. 😁
@PavelASamsonov There's a delete and re-draft function that is quite nice for these circumstances. It deletes but also pre-fills your whole post as it was so you can make your edits and quickly post again.
I find myself using it every week.
@virgwordsy Thanks. The design of this one is mine but the original concept is from an illustration in the Github forum. I may have to make the reference in the footer more clear. 😊
@scottmatter Thanks Scott! That is key isn't it. The risk is that someone will migrate from one tool to another, hoping to find something that is the "ideal" version of what they are leaving. And then be disappointed.
Also, I believe people aren't used to having to "learn something new" in this space. But I remember how difficult Twitter was to understand even as a concept in the beginning.
It's always a good idea to keep your expectations in check. 😅
@dinkompismia Kick ass 🙌
@cydharrell Very happy to see you here Cyd! Really hoping this migration works out for everyone. 😊
@steveportigal Hey Steve.
@Coffee It's also possible to set your toot language when posting. At least in the web interface. Some apps sadly don't support this.
But yeah, I get your message and completely agree. Just wanted to take the opportunity to remind anyone reading of the benefits of setting the language of your toot. It enables filtering and people using screen readers will get the right voice and pronunciation. And no flags needed…
With this description I'm not sure we mean the same thing with "the mobile version". In my phone I use my web browser to visit the website. That is often what I mean with the mobile version. In this mobile view I can edit my profile.
My understanding is that you're referring to an app installed on your phone? When it comes to Mastodon there are many apps available, albeit one official app.
But yes, you can't always edit your profile in mobile apps. I myself avoid all Mastodon apps. 😁
@sirisha How would you explain that difference?
Really glad you're making Feedbin work so well for you Ryan.
@kazarnowicz This made me start watching it. Love it, so thanks for the tip 😀
Just horrible... 😢
"RealPage discourages bargaining with renters and has even recommended that landlords in some cases accept a lower occupancy rate in order to raise rents and make more money."
@aynish Interesting service. But the RSS feed contains the whole story, so any RSS reader can be used I suppose? I read them in Feedbin.
Of course, if you get a Medium link sent to you, scribe.rip would make sense. Thanks for making me aware of it.
