It took quite a while but Awoo now finally has a vector favicon for Safari pinned tabs! Since it has to be a monochrome icon I decided to go with the dark background color, which hopefully has enough contrast in both dark and light themes, and looks very nice on the touchbar as well if you're viewing your favorites

To make it load you have to unpin the tab, close Safari, delete the icon from ~/Library/Safari/Template Icons, relaunch Safari and reload the page (Alt+Command+R)

Say awoo to the new friends at https://swingset.social!
It's a space created to intentionally include but not limited to lgbtq, nonmonogamous folk. A bunch of podcasters hang out there and @podcasts pushes new podcast releases.
Their admins are @memnus, @Duncan and @viachicago1979

Reminder that you can opt into the awoo.space profile directory (https://awoo.space/explore) in your profile settings for people to find you easier. If you put any hashtags into your bio it will list those on the side
I'll start tagging these posts #howToAwoo because why not

https://transfurrmation.town (which is the successor to furrytf.club) and their admin @frinkeldoodle@furrytf.club! We also added https://write.furrytf.club

Quick PSA for other instances: Awoo.space supports html formatting so if you're on mainline or a fork that doesn't support html* formatting you might not see all the information in a toot. Click on the date (or open the toot in a browser if you're using an app) to see it on our server

*this should be italics

Hi! Just gonna announce some new fedifriends in a fast manner. I'll do a quick toot for each to avoid mass-mentions. Please join me in a very welcoming awoo ​

We no longer have reason to believe that the https://radical.town mod team isn't doing its job, so the silence has been lifted

We're sticking with the silence on https://radical.town. That means you won't see any notifications from there unless you follow the person it comes from.

Remember that all silenced instances (two right now) are marked in the allowlist on https://awoo.space/about/more.

Also you can always report anything you want the mod team to see (though you should just @ noiob for the good shark content)
-noiob

PSA: Went ahead and silenced https://radical.town, since the mod team seems to be proud of not moderating their instance. Will probably move to a block if the situation doesn't change.

minor update

• fixes the bug where private-toots were being boosted to the wrong audience
• we have rich text support now, turn writing it on in the settings (https://awoo.space/settings/preferences) and add a quick selector from the glitchsoc popover settings menu if you want

Sorry for the downtime! There was a problem with the server that was out of our control. It'll take a while until the instance catches up with the rest of the fediverse

Starting now there's two ways to get an account on awoo.space:

If you have an existing account on the fediverse and want an alt or a new main here, you can just fill out the form on the start page. Remember to fill out the "Why do you want to join?" part so we can approve your application.

If you don't have an existing account on the fediverse, you can have an active member of the community direct mesage an admin or moderator. This is basically the old "get a friend to vouch for you" way, so people can recommend awoo to friends who make their first account in the fediverse.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have! We hope that this new system will make it easier for people to sign up to awoo with us ​!

What features, you ask?
