@gustav Tusen tack Gustav. Nu sparade du mig massor av tid. Jag har ju använt ett tema som var hyfsat bra, men inte hela vägen.

Point taken :) There are certainly parts of this thread I would like to edit, or make more clear, after the fact. Considering deleting it and making another one in its stead.
@tze This is likely a fair perspective. What do you think the best path forward would be to ensure sustainable social media?
@saptaks This is a fair concern. Right now I'm trying to see opportunity more than hindrances, which there undoubtedly will be many.
But I am aware of the friction within the dev leadership.
Hoping more community involvement can make a difference and move the platform in a better direction.
But I've been too naive before 😬
@bernat Go for it! I've been using Cloudron since May and love all of it. Running about 15 different apps with it now 😅
@gustav ah tack Gustav! Kan du peka mer exakt? Får försöka fixa senare idag eller i veckan.
@jan Haha, couldn’t agree more.
@atomicpoet Hetzner is usually a safe bet. I’m likely going down this route as well.
@evijitghosh The check is done when you save the profile. I don’t think it actually ”re-tries” at regular intervals. So I think you actually have to edit your profile and first remove the links, save, and then add them back and save again.
@evijitghosh Ah, I now actually see the green checkmark on your profile.
@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. 😅
