@Stratski I like how they are pretending to ignore you
I say "The Mouse", but it could be "A Mouse and their Merry Men"...
@neil They're up dancing around in the wee hours to this.

@neil My experience of catching rodents in the house is that it involves quite a lot of screaming on the part of all involved.
Plus patience, a blanket that you can throw over it, and a long stick to wiggle behind radiators and under cupboards.
@darkling These traps have worked twice before, so let's see!

Probably would have missed it. Appreciate the tag :)
How votes are viewed is a user setting, letting anyone choose if they want combined, separate, or a percentage. Is this something you would also like settable as a global instance default choice?
Honestly, as long as I can easily enable it, it doesn’t matter to me if everyone has it by default (only viewed your instance without logging in). Might be worth a user poll, but I have no idea how wanted that feature is.
FYI I altered my [FR] on Codeburg to reflect you’d already implementing the feature.
We mostly use Grafna
Link doesn’t work, but I think I know what it’ll look like.
Given both your responses, it seems I didn’t conveyed the idea well to OpenStars. My understanding is that an instance sends to the appropriate “hosting instance” a post or comment. My thought is, if it doesn’t already happen, have the “hosting instance” send an ‘acknowledgement’ back to the sending instance. Then, if the comment has been ‘acknowledged’, the sending instance would put an indicator on the comment (check mark or something) to show “yes, my user, your activity successfully arrived at it’s destination.”
In my mind, this wouldn’t be every instance checking every other instance’s user’s activity to make sure it federated properly. This would be an instance confirming things for only its own users.
Hopefully that makes sense. I graphical up-time graph is probably nice to have too. I was going to say those are available on fediverse measurement sites, but with a quick look, it seems like that was a Fediverse-Observer (RIP) only feature.
Also I occasionally search for PyLova and I love reading this comment chain when I do, thanks for contributing so many ideas.
Happy to help and thanks for being so responsive, open-minded, and just all around great :)
Edit: when making my comment to OpenStars, I checked a post I made to the !servo@programming.dev community yesterday, which did not federate (https://programming.dev/c/Servo is missing my post).
I think the “acknowledgement” feature could also help elevate the issue entirely. I’m not sure how to ‘force’ a re-submission of my post, but if an instance didn’t get an ‘acknowledgement’ the instance could check that the ‘"hosting instance” is still receiving and then try resend the post/comment after a certain time interval.
I don’t know if such an admin tool as you describe already exists - perhaps the grafana one meets that need? - so I will leave it to those who choose to install the code and become admins (even of just a personal instance) to comment further and give feedback.
That said, the community that you pointed to might be in a weird lockdown state, since I noticed that it has zero active mods. See the sidebar on the home instance and then the modlog offers the further knowledge that the only prior mod has been banned from that instance. If you want to revive it, you could appeal to the instance owner and become the new kid of it?
And that situation illustrates the difficulties that people face when coming here: this place isn’t quite a ghost town, but it is more empty than it is full. The people that have thrived here so far are those who approach it from an IT hobbiest standpoint and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work building it. But most people are not willing or capable to do likewise, which turns many away. The tools are still being built, and definitely lack polish atm.
But we are building them nonetheless (well, Mia is:-P, though we can help with suggestions!), steadily over time. So I am less concerned about current number of MAUs than in seeing the challenges be overcome, such as building these tools. Although that requires funding which in turn requires some level of MAUs, thus I am ecstatic about these subscribable blocklists to help keep people from fleeing this place!! 🤩
@jalefkowit Ultron!
I used Claude to make a customised app for viewing my porn collection. I told him it was for viewing galleries of photos of sporting events. He played along but I can tell by his obsequious demeanour that he knows what I'm doing and he judges me.
@fesshole gendering the AI bot like it’s a real person is much more embarrassing than anything else

@mcc those are the posts of yours I always skip, since they have no overlap with my musical interests. Oh well.
@hyc I sometimes make an intentional effort to veer out of my comfort zone! Not very often lately. Sorry.
@Sayah_123gaza i'm devastated to see the destruction the rain has brought to gaza. :(
@kathimmel
Thank you, my dear sister, for your kind and heartfelt feelings toward the people of Gaza. We truly appreciate your compassion, solidarity, and support. ❤️🇵🇸
I hate when people say "pie hole" or "cake hole" because I don't know if they're talking about a mouth hole or butt hole.
@Alice omg "cake" means a new thing now so it probably adds to the confusion, probably moreso with the youth!
Fountain pens. Running your own kiln for your own pottery. Growing your own veggies in the garden. Coding in assembly language. Restoring a PDP-11 minicomputer and running Unix Version 7 on it. Playing the organ. Playing a renaissance bass recorder. Mixing your own oil paints. Setting up an independent network of radio communication.
All of those things I want to read about. With some, I want to daydream of doing them myself. Most I won't do. All are joyful. Thank you, Fediverse.
@ai6yr that and/or monthly hormone shifts sometimes make me feel like I'm getting a cold when I'm not (and I know you weren't brainstorming, I'm being silly)
@giflian Bummer. Took a benadryl this morning because after taking the dog for a walk started upper respiratory symptoms big time (sneezing like crazy, runny nose). So it's probably allergies. But I was already on non-drowsy allergy pills, which should have kept that from happening WITHOUT resorting to the benadryl. (so, probably allergies). It rained a lot last week so everything is blossming. I don't usually have a lot of issues, though. But I already was having some issues related to dental work, so it's probably all confused. 😬

@uint8_t I now have a vapor phase oven so I don't use it anymore.
