@typhlosion Thanks for that FAQ. Since the local timeline seems to be an important concept in mastondonland, it seems like the theme/notes column on the list of instances (https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/docs/Using-Mastodon/List-of-Mastodon-instances.md) should be more specific about community aims.
Mellow/less hectic are great goals, but that's not clear right now when someone stumbles onto the server looking for respect and moderation.
@paco The search box seems to work. https://awoo.space/media/toe23ARCN2itprkXOFk
@inurashii FWIW, if there are content guidelines from the moderators on the signup page (no tech/politics/recipe discussions), that would be handy.
Everything right now is about respect and moderation, which is awesome, but very different from what you described.
@niki Federation seems to be wonky right now, although I'm not sure if this instance is set up to federate w/ anything other than mastodon.social.
@ok Good question. Does tagging work across servers? A "welcome to federation" FAQ would be handy.
I started this to try a different instance out and see if I could snag a 2 letter handle, can people have the same handle on different instances though? If I tag @okfox does that link to my other account that's on mastodon.xyz?? Testing, hello world, etc.
I'd like to give a big :thumbsup: to whoever designed this default UI to be so TweetDecky.
Also a :thumbsup: to the ': thumbsup :' emoji syntax, although Slack-style previews would be a nice feature add.
Testing YouTube embeds, because it's fun to kick the tires.
@jackm The preview thumbnail seems to work just as expected.
Hello world!
