Hi, a tiny suggestion: if possible, try to remove the "utm_source=Twitter" part of the URL when posting here. It could lead to clicks and views from here being counted as ones from the birdsite, leading to inflated viewcounts that show Twitter as the source in Nature's internal analytics.

@lunarflare
Specifically, the instance ticker ones will slow down the site experience for you a lot, so avoid them even if they *appear* to work.

Also avoid the "-missing" themes, they're buggy (people's avatar pics go missing when you use then, for eg.)

It's only been a few months since I discovered Nijisanji, but already a week without watching them feels like something big is missing.

Had a busy (& satisfying) IRL week, now looking forward to binging on the stuff I missed, once I get back home.

Pithy aphorisms can't capture all the nuances and caveats - it's a lossy compression - but this conveys the core takeaway of this idea pretty well.

@hwestiii
I used to think that, and that would be simpler to explain

In reality it's more like: it goes out to any other instance where at least one person follows you. That is, if one person on qoto.org follows you, then your posts or boosts will be visible on #Federated here. If let's say none of your followers are from Fosstodon.org, then the Federated timeline there won't show your posts - even though your instance (I assume) federates with it - because the server then doesn't know your account exists.

In this case, I think it's probably the case that someone on qoto.org follows the @local account that boosted your post. That's why your post appeared in the Federated timeline here for me.

@hwestiii
Don't know if MetaText does something unique, but in general in Mastodon the difference is: Home is posts from the people (and hashtags) you are following. Local is just any post from any user who signed up on lor.sh.

@hwestiii
If you mean who sees it, people like me who check out the Federated timeline out of boredom/curiosity.
And people in your instance see it on the Local timeline.
And there's probably people who follow that hashtag or check it out from time to time to help people with the migration.
(And your followers of course.)

Give a warm welcome to a bunch of folks yourself 😀

Welcome!

Human dataviz is more likely to choose the right level of abstraction to make the most sense of the data. You do have to work about biases and distortions in the presentation, but the same is true of ML algorithms too, just more subtly so.

@MichaelPorter
Edit is from a newer version of the Mastodon software, #Qoto doesn't run it yet. An update is planned (for this and other features like language tagging), but no specific timelines yet.

@Pat a follow-up question, if you don't mind:

What if those million people are all convicted criminals in prisons around the world? Would you give up your life to save them?
