Awoospace announcement 

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 :janiawoo:​!

What features, you ask?
- polls! polls!
- profiles now look the same in the webapp and on the public page
- you can now pin hashtags on your profile, and those will show up in the directory if you're opted into that (awoo.space/explore)
- new landing page (work in progress)
- new UI for managing your network at awoo.space/relationships
- you now have to opt into disclosing what app you use to toot
- probably more

Awoo! :janiawoo:

We're now on glitch-soc version 2.7! You'll now be able to add more hashtags to pinned hashtag searches, and there's a neat new bar for quickly managing notifications! Click the column settings to turn it off/on or switch to all categories!

Like typing a lot? Now you don't have to thread anything on awoo anymore! If you use a CW you can notice the limit turning into an infinity sign. It's still limited to about sixteen thousand characters for technical reasons though

Jani's choices:

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.

While mature content is allowed here, we strongly believe in being able to choose to engage with content on your own terms, so please make sure to put mature and potentially sensitive content behind the CW feature with enough description that people know what it's about.

Before signing up, please read our community guidelines. While it's a very broad swath of topics it covers, please do your best! We believe that as long as you're putting forth genuine effort to limit harm you might cause – even if you haven't read the document – you'll be okay!
