Pinning threads is buggy across instances.
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

Pinning threads is buggy across instances.
I am always self conscious about my long winded replies because sometimes even I wouldn’t wanna read a post that long.
No need to be self-conscious - that’s a concise account of a complicated issue, which is going to go long. Long posts become an issue when they are rambling and unfocused.
Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server)
This is the route I’d recommend as you get superb specs for not much more than you’d be paying through the normal hosting, which, itself, is already very reasonable.
This has been our experience at feddit.uk. Well done to everyone over there. 👍
Worth also noting that:
One reason we break the finances down is because we are a medium-sized instance and we want to demonstrate that it is perfectly possible to run one supported by donations.
If anyone has any questions they are welcome to message me or they can drop it into the monthly financial report (the new one will be next week).
Your call. I’ll keep an eye out for progress.
You and me to start, advertise for more. Should be fine. It is a niche meme community.
I really shouldn’t and meme communities can be a bit hectic but it is a bit niche so should be manageable and, having thought about it, I think it would work. So, yeah, do it!
That’s enough for me.
Here and here. And that broken context link.
It’s basically beans all the way down.
There are Fediverse blog platforms but, as this is about Tumblr, what about a Fediverse tumbleblog? You’ve got:
At this point you might as well start the community. Stick a post up asking for other Mods to help out.
Do you though?
There were beans, lots of beans.
That was my reasoning.
Ahhhh, I didn’t check… Now I feel bad.
It’s an artform, like perfectly baking a poo. If you time it right you can basically fall straight asleep without your brain going “hey, I just thought of something!”
I messed up last night when I hit the wall after 9 days solidly on the go - I thought the bed looked nice and a little lie on it wouldn’t hurt but I still had shit to do before bed. So I dropped off but my brain kept prodding me back to near consciousness and I kept on having weird sleep paralysis/false awakening dreams - including one in which I heard a woman murder a friend outside my bedroom door but I couldn’t force myself off the bed to intervene.
We say registrations go from 1 or 2 a day to 14 (other instances saw similar upswings). Just on this news. If they do implement it we’ll see another Rexxit with similar big numbers.
Have you considered it’s because of this?:
I wouldn’t run an instance that didn’t allow users to sign up as it would impede growth and uptake.
It also would have the interesting effect of pushing a lot of the load onto other instances, which doesn’t seem true to the Fediverse spirit.
