I think this might be my first poll.

Since my professional life has been cyclically divided between audio/music and web design/dev, I've decided last year to split my website in two, one for each interest.

I've since switched both to the same theme and structure.

Audio: https://minutestomidnight.co.uk

Web:
https://simonesilvestroni.com

Question: is it better to have everything under one roof? I'm also going to be looking for work soon, and I wonder whether it'd be confusing or not.

I need to ask again; anyone know of any good #PeerTube channels out there? I'm familiar with the most popular channels on TILvids, so I'm thinking something outside of that sphere 🤔

Hey fedi,

Does anyone know how I can subscribe to a #kbin magazine from a non-kbin fedi account? I assume there is some way to do this.

I am helping to set up an online conference modeled on #ActivityConf 2020, with talks by both fediverse software and protocol developers, and fedizens who have ideas about improving UX, moderation, funding of fediverse work and other ideas on the social side. Would you be more likely to attend if it was later this year, or early next year?

Which Linux Distro do you find to be the most fun to use? I'm looking for something to play with.

Czy ktoś z was ma doświadczenia z korzystaniem z Nextcloud przez zewnętrznego providera? Nie mam środków i czasu (tak mi się przynajmniej wydaje) do założenia własnej instancji/hostowania u siebie serwera, a chciałbym skorzystać z ichniejszych formularzy do przeprowadzenia badania pod pracę magisterską. Ktoś coś?

#AskFedi is there a contemporary suite or set of plays-nice #opensource community / collaboration tools that can cover discussion (threaded boards), chat, and wiki-like that can share credentials and/or work from a single auth provider, either one of the three or an external auth source? Paid/managed preferred. #ActivityPub aware preferred.

I'm tempted to consider a Wordpress kludge extraordinaire.

Would need to cover say 1,000 accounts, mostly public, some staff.

Are you a developer? Do you want to help one of the most flexible, long-established and interesting Fediverse projects?

Friendica (https://friendi.ca) needs developers to help on the frontend, between the server-side PHP modules and views and the client-side HTML/CSS/Javascript aspect.

(It would also be nice if they ran their own Friendica node to help with testing.)

➡️ Are you interested? If so, get in touch with @hypolite

If you want people's advice about any topic, type your question and tag it with #AskFedi, which is kind of like a bat signal for advice on the Fediverse 🦇

If you want a post to be shared, try adding "Boosts appreciated!". Some servers may even have an emoji for this such as :boost_ok:

By the way, remember that if you want your post shared publicly you have to give it a Public or Unlisted visibility setting. (More info about post visibility settings here: https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/)

Just had a request for a "Share on Mastodon" button for a blog.

As far as I know there's no official "Share on Mastodon" button, but there are several third party options.

If you've used a "Share on Mastodon" button on your site, could you give your recommendations/experiences?

I have an #AskFedi question!

I have been using my phone (on t-mobile) as a hotspot to connect my laptop to the internet. How is it assigning IP addresses to my computer? Are they IP addresses that are owned by t-mobile? Are the ones they give me to use shared with other people that use t-mobile? Are they reusing a pool of the same ones access all their subscribers? Or am I misunderstanding how IP addressing is working in this context.


Does anyone know of an image file format where the alt text can be embedded in the file itself and then read by other platforms?

Is this possible already with common image file formats?

How did you find out about Vala? Which community or project inspired you? (If you pick "other", feel free to add a comment explaining why).

Is anyone aware of a #FLOSS alternative to #Google #Photos for mobile? What I'm looking for is a way to access the photos from the collection on my home server from a phone with a reasonably convenient interface and such.

Corrolary: I currently use #Digikam to organize my photos, but something with facial recognition that isn't terrible would be nice.

An appeal for help:

Trunk is an opt-in directory of people on Mastodon and the Fediverse looking for followers, organised into a large range of topics:

https://communitywiki.org/trunk

Anyone can ask to be added, and the admins of Trunk check the account (to screen out spam etc) and add them.

However, due to the need to check the contents of accounts, this Trunk only includes people who post mainly in English. It means they have to turn away a lot of non-English accounts.

The Trunk admins want to fix this situation.

Do you use a language other than English? Do you want to help make a version of Trunk in your own language?

The English Trunk admins can help you with the technical side, but they need people who speak other languages to moderate Trunks in those other languages.

➡️ Can you help? If so, get in touch with @kensanata who leads the Trunk project.

(There is a Spanish Trunk at https://trunkesp.chilemasto.casa but so far no other languages.)

Is there a way to get #LibreWolf to sync bookmarks with #Firefox? I realize that this somewhat defeats the purpose of using LibreWolf.

Question - if your kids want to voicechat with their friends, what application/program do they use?

I am looking for something that is easy to use for non-tech people, self-hosted and free-software. Preferably something like discord but ethical.
