Schwörewörtli: Wer kennt dieses schweizer Dialektwort?
Es wird/wurde vermutlich im Raum Zürich oder in der Ostschweiz verwendet.
Ich konnte es im Idiotikon (Schweizer Mundartwörterbuch) nicht finden, und ich finde nichts dazu im Internet.
Gerne boosten...

How can a mastodon user tell if their account is "hidden" or "limited" ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zjh6vq/hidden_profiles/

I see this a lot with accounts I want to follow.

  1. Can admins do this without notifying the user?

  2. Is it possible to see the reason accounts have been censored?

If the answers to any of these two questions is "no" then it seems mastodon is subject to abuse from biased/rogue admins and moderators.

PLEASE HELP - Anybody have recommendations for small business lawyers that practice in ?

I need to consult someone while dealing with a hairy situation for my LLC. Would need an initial consultation pretty urgently.

Ideally, someone able to accommodate a lower budget / discount, as the situation is making business finances tight.

Okay so there's a letter from the car loan and a sudden "improvement" in my credit and that means the only reason I have a car to sell to Carmax is the ice and snow.

Right now I need about $4500 (which includes tax/tags/etc.) That's $100 from 40 people, $50 from 80, etc, plus a bit.

If I can't do that I need a full $7500 plus tax, tags, etc AND an uber 30 miles away AND hoping the seller is completely honest to have a viable vehicle that isn't effectively a waste of resources.

Time crunch here, it's starting to thaw. I have a day or so at most.

Welche Apps benutzt ihr? Hat zB Toot! einen Vorteil?

So ganz zufrieden bin ich nämlich noch nicht damit, wie ich die Beiträge von denen, denen ich folge sehe (oder eben leider nicht sehe) ... Habt ihr da Tipps?
Kann man zb alle, denen man folgt, automatisch in eine Liste geben ohne, dass man diese Liste selbst aktualisieren muss? Oder kann man zb den Beiträgen, die sie teilen und selbst posten unterscheiden?

Still working on this, trying to keep Colt's / / afloat. She could really use some day-to-day money for food and painkillers. Please help her out if you can? She's got a rather BIGGER expenditure too, which is, she'd like repairs on a $2500 laptop and you know how expensive that might get. the laptop is held up in the shop until she can raise several hundred dollars to fix it. ~Chara

My posts are coming thick and fast today.

Why is it that I can see two notifications of a reply to one of my posts, yet I can only read one? Have I blocked the replier or the instance they’re on?

@robyn@yeg.bike avatar robyn , to random

oh ok so here's a neat feature of lists that I had hitherto been unaware of:

You can set them to include replies from list members to:

  • No one
  • Members of the List
  • Any followed user

This is REALLY COOL. The 🤯 option for me personally is to be able to include only replies that members of the list sent to other members of the list. Great for "Local" lists, or lists for a busy topic bubble!

You can also change this setting later!

Hey, everyone! Do you know any good fedi instances for (editorial) illustrators? I know someone who’s interested in trying it out. Doesn’t matter if Mastodon, Pixelfed, or something else.
Thanks in advance!

Reposts are welcome!

Hallo ihr Lieben,
ich entwickle gerade eine neue Buchidee (Roman) und benötige Hilfe zum Thema Tracking Apps, v.a. zur technischen Seite. Aber auch zur rechtlichen.

Ich würde meine Fragen dann gerne per persönlicher Nachricht stellen, um nicht zu viel von meiner Idee preiszugeben.

ich, ein IT noob, will zwischen mehreren Personen mit veschiedenen Endgeräten (windows-PC, Android Handy, Linux-PC) einen Kalender teilen. Der soll syncen und notifien usw. Google und Outlook fallen raus, welche FOSS Lösung gibt es da? Thunderbird mit angemietetem Server?

natürlich kann es auch was kosten, möglichst aber nicht mehr als 5€/m.

Hat jemand einen Tipp?

Who are some of your favorite artists here on Mastodon? Ideally manga artists, but other styles are welcome too! 😊

Looking forward to your recommendations! (And if you're an artist yourself, feel free to say hello. 👋 )

Does choice of server affect the reach of your posts? (Assuming you use the same hashtags.)

Obviously you don't want to be posting from a server that's blocked by vast swathes of the network.

But are there any other factors?

@kbarker@vivaldi.net avatar kbarker , to random

Help please. I have 4 to 6 computers. Want to have a synced directory on each. Dropbox for me so to speak.
I am using nextcloud hosted on Pika Pods and it works fine but I want to do it myself.

I have a Dell desktop running Yunohost. After a few false starts got Nextcloud working on it. I believe NC is just too much.

Installed Syncthing on the Yunohost box and have tested with one laptop. Seems to work. Will add others and see.

Tested Unison on a laptop by syncing my Nextcloud folder to a test folder. Works great but not so sure about a server to laptops setup. Nervous I am.

Willing to delete Yunohost and install something else if a better idea.
All other computers will be MX Linux.

  1. Lan only is all I need.
  2. My skill level is low. GUI for me please (for the most part).
  3. Bad guy proof as much as possible.

Thanks

Could I ask for some ? What is currently best technical solution for writing a where each blog post is an message that is fully displayed on Mastodon? Last time I tried the , only links to the blogposts were displayed on Mastodon.

The ideal solution would actually be some integration with so I can flexibly integrate the blog in my page but other solutiona are just as welcome. Thank you in advance!

@niq@norden.social avatar niq , to random

Thinking about how I should be using this account. I want to post more technical programming related stuff but kind of feel like I also want some more personal stuff here... Not sure if I should maybe create two separate accounts for this since I assume the two might not be interesting to the same people and would also probably be done in different languages... Any best practices the pros can recommend?

With the latest update I get a very awful violet-dark-blue color forced on me in some elements. (background of the app switcher, pull down drawer background button background of the fingerprint sensor on lock screen) How the heck am I gonna change these colors back to what I need?
At the forum someone advised the wallpaper setting but I can't find color changing settings there.
To make things worse, I most likely use the wrong terms for these ui elements.

Edit: I received help to find the well hidden setting
I missed the swipe to the "home screen" wallpaper settings that reveals the color settings needed.
I have found this before! But it was that long ago that I forgot where to look for it.
Leaves one question open: Why would this setting change after a system update?

is just painfully slow, can the recommend me a better instance?

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social avatar juergen_hubert , to random

I could use some with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.

I use a blog with the plugin. This means that I get -based requests that look like this in the logs:

"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"

So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.

However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.

This instance is on 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?

Looking for new Fedi instance if anyone has suggestions!

Required:

  • Emoji reaction support
  • FediLab compatibility (so not Wafrn sadly)

Wanted:

  • Local people discussing and reflecting on social issues
  • Local furries :blobwolfhugmoon:
  • Local interesting/weird people (incl plurals) :blobfoxwave:
  • Small enough that the local feed is actually useful
  • Lots of non-animated instance emoji (particularily wolf/dog/fox ones)

Any suggestions? :boost_requested:

(Also, the mod/admin staff at tech.lgbt is awesome! You should come here if its the right place for you! :techlgbt:)
