Your posts do not appear when I read HashtagGames. I checked my settings and I’m not inadvertently blocking you. I tried unfollowing you and following you again, to no avail.
Anything amiss at your end? Is this one of the quirks of your instance not working reliably?
I’d like to see your HashtagGames posts in the hashtag, rather than having to go to your home page to see them.
@NWBison
Ya, that is weird. I'm out of ideas as to why.
@NWBison
Something else weird just happened at my end. I clicked on your name, got to your profile and there was a selection called "Cancel follow request". But there was also a Follow icon besides.
I clicked on the Follow icon, the Request went away and now I'm actually Following you without any further ado.
Very very weird....but maybe you can see my posts via hashtag now? Hoo nose.
@ClaraListensprechen4
Nope. I tried tonight’s Nobel hashtag again, scrolled all the way to its start, and saw none of your posts.
I have no idea. Your “instance to work reliably” comment in your bio is intriguing, made me wonder how screwed up it may be.
Your posts are clever and engaging, and I regret that I haven’t seen any until recently. When you like one of mine I remember to check your homepage (cheap ploy to get at least one like per day from you 🥹). I’ll try to remember anyway.
@NWBison
Qoto has been the most reliable instance I've been on so far, but it still has software quirks, but manageable at this end at least.
I can pick up Mastodon accounts via my Friendica acconut over at Friendica Portal, but I've tried to participate in HashtagGames over there and they don't seem to get the same responses that the ones I post on here do.
@NWBison
I've got a Diaspora account that's largely been inactive because that's a whole 'nother ball o bugs.
@ClaraListensprechen4
I moved instances 10 weeks ago, that could have done it. I’m not inclined to go to great lengths to figure it out — I’m happy to add checking your home page to my routine.
@NWBison
Ahhh I see. That could be it but I can't imagine you on an instance that has me blocked...unless it's run by one of those Diaspora thugs I ran into. I suppose that's possible.
But it's late over here and I'm about to turn into a pumpkin. G'night and see you tomorrow!
Good night, @ClaraListensprechen4 . See you tomorrow.
@NWBison
Hello--I'm gonna pick back up the conversation we had about not seeing hashtags involving Qoto again because none of the 9 o'clock Hashtag posts were being displayed here on Qoto so after that, I can now conclude that Qoto is faulty. I'm gonna have to go instance-shopping again, I'm afraid.
@ClaraListensprechen4
After 2 disastrous instances I’m playing it safe at Eugen Rochko’s original mastodon.social. It wasn’t accepting new members when I started but it was 2 months ago, and I haven’t had any problems.
@NWBison
I'll give it a shot although I'm not optimistic, generally, about instances not previously accepting new members. Thanks!
@ClaraListensprechen4
Uma mulher diga “Obrigada.”
@NWBison
lolz. When is that stodgy language gonna catch up to the 2023s? It's almost 2024!
@ClaraListensprechen4
Im not fluent, but it’s my favorite language.
It’s deliciously nasal yet sexy, and it incorporates the quirkiest elements of every other European language that I’m familiar with.
@NWBison
I'm not either but my first 2nd language is French, and whilst in Phoenix I picked up Spanish, so guess where the sounds of Portuguese fall.
When I hear Portuguese my brain will inadvertently shift gears to either French or Spanish without engaging the clutch.
@ClaraListensprechen4
I have that problem with German and Spanish, my 2nd and 3rd languages, especially when lubricated with a little alcohol.
@NWBison
I can't picture German getting mixed up with Spanish, tho, so I'll take your word on it. I didn't even attempt German syntax so all I can do is count and belt out a couple of beer songs. And one Christmas song that isn't O Tanenbaum.
Kinderline Commet....dang, I think my brain just died. I'll bet I'm turning into a pumpkin at this hour.
@ClaraListensprechen4
Ihr Kinderlein Kommet is my favorite, and the only one I remember from 9th grade.
I never did master declensions.
@ClaraListensprechen4
For instance, Portuguese has:
e frequently pronounced like the long e in English
sp and st like in German, pronounced shp and sht
and the Brazilians out-french the French by pronouncing initial R and doubled rr like “h”
@NWBison
Oh I know, right?
And I totally screwed up the spelling of that German Christmas Carol. Kinderlein Kommet
@ClaraListensprechen4
I mean, like “h” with not a hint of “r”.
@NWBison
Your profile also stated "Follows you" so nothing's wrong with your Follow.
@ClaraListensprechen4
I’m finding them, but only if I go to your home page. They don’t show in the hashtag with everyone else’s posts.
