Looks like it is available for free, but you get a really awkward username. I just enabled it on an old WP.com blog that I have on a free account and while @kelson.wordpress.com@kelson.wordpress.com works (I was able to subscribe to it from both Mastodon and GoToSocial), it’s a bit unwieldy.
Apparently not anymore. I have a free account on WordPress.com and I just turned it on like you said.
I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.
It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.
If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.
But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.
I’m using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren’t supported in the corresponding app.
I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.
Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.
Examples of this might include prioritizing mutual followers on Mastodon, or prioritizing low-traffic subscribed communities on Lemmy so that they don’t get lost in the 50 posts from the busier communities.
Also:
Again, key factors being: open, customizable, correctable, and serving the user, not serving the platform.
KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.
It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.
But the main issue I’ve run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are…let’s just say they’re not designed with touch input in mind.
Not much point in writing a PR if the idea has already been rejected (or is still hotly contested) in the issues. Most of the suggestions aren’t just write-some-code solutions, they’re design decisions, and if the project owner doesn’t agree with that decision? Well, you can fork it like glitch-soc or hometown, or you can use another project that already does what you want (but doesn’t have as much traction), or you can keep trying to convince the people running the project to accept your idea. Even quote posts, which they’re finally coming around to grudgingly accept as a possible feature, involve a lot of decisions on which posts can be quoted, who gets notified, etc.
As others have said: followers yes, posts, no. Some other Fediverse platforms can migrate posts, though, and I believe Firefish (previously known as Calckey) is able to import posts from Mastodon as well as from other instances of itself.
Personally, while i think it’s not the best solution…they don’t owe us an audience or a megaphone. If they owe anyone anything, it’s their own users. If they’re overwhelmed, and i totally believe that they are, they should do what they have to in order to deal with it
Um, never?
I’ve lost chargers on several occasions, and I’ve switched from older ones to newer ones for faster charging, but the older ones still work as spares.
Cables, on the other hand…
Not sure how you get from Fediverse people researching what server admin/moderation structures work well and which ones don’t to CIA censorship.
