@tootapp I’m not sure how much the instance itself is playing into it though.

I keep losing both instances on my iPhone, but only plush.city keeps disappearing on iPad, for example.

@tootapp plush.city seems to be on 4.0.2.

plural.cafe is on a fork of the glitch-soc fork which appears to currently be based on Mastodon 4.0.1 (github.com/pluralcafe/glitchca)

@tootapp Yeah, it’s always the accounts I have on plural.cafe and plush.city. The two other accounts I have don’t have the issue.

They seem to vanish—both in the servers list and logged in sessions—when the app is unloaded from memory (crash, force closed, etc.)

@tootapp Not sure if this one is known already (downside of disabling issues is that I can't see what's been reported already!), but I'm having an issue where certain servers/accounts just vanish from the app.

Weirdly they still seem to be registered for push notifications though, so I still get those, for the missing accounts, but the contents are error messages instead.

@Chinchy Banning all discussion of politics and entirely arbitrary (and seemingly fairly puritan) content rating rules are the main complaints I’ve heard.

re: twitter meta, negative 

@pyrex My long-held issue is that Mastodon doesn't really have a developed ecosystem of apps built around it—which makes it harder to be constantly keeping an eye on it—for better and for worse.

Also they’ve still not sorted their media queries to fix the bug when the viewport is exactly 800px wide.

Fur Affinity adds profile banner support: 🤔

> Must be uploaded in exact dimensions.
> Exact dimensions are pretty awkward.
> Site-wide news banner cuts off part of the image anyway.
> Forcibly converted into artifact-y JPEG.
> Does not reduce the banner’s width to fit the screen.
> Does not increase the banner’s width to fit the screen.
> Does not crop the image to the centre when it doesn’t fit on the screen.
> Basically useless on mobile screen sizes.

Does anyone make a mechanical keyboard with the exact same layout as a UK Apple keyboard?

It’s kinda annoying having all these sweet shortcuts and macros set up as I do but then having to change what physical keys I’m pressing depending on which keyboard I’m currently using.

Should start actively referring to myself as a synth. Synth is a cool word.

Twitter (very time to get the fuck out) 

if Musk keeps to his word, he will start opening the hate valves next week. Get your lifeboats friends theverge.com/2022/11/24/234766

Pretty much just like the otherkin stuff, we didn’t realise just how many other plural systems we already knew until we became aware of being one ourself.

There’s so many of us!

Spent a great deal of today writing my own Mastodon client that works how I want it to, which I can do because Mastodon’s API policies aren’t awful.

@tootapp I was just about to raise a bug report for notification errors too, what excellent timing!

To everyone's surprise, Toot! v17.0 is out!

This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:

* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.
3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.
