Off to bed now.
Today has been quite tiring.
Just last question which I'll look tomorrow:
Is there a functionality on Pina that can bring in dicussions you may have had with a person.
I've tried the search button but I don't think that would be it.
When I want to write a toot I sometimes forgot something that someone said or the interaction that happened... and that I missed on or anycase that could happen in between.
So if anyone knows about this super functionality I'm all ears... or would be... tomorrow 😴
😊
@globcoco I just did a search from within Pinafore, and :
- a word search for "500 chars limit" pulled results all the way back to my December first thoughts on this important issue.
- and a hashtag as Hans suggested is indeed a good idea; you might notice me sprinkling my own in significant posts.
Both rgxJournal and FediReporter -- and they bring results from my other accounts as well.
Come up with one you like and use it. Or more than one.
A friend here invented a real cool one, #bookmarx for his posts. When we didn't have bookmarks.
And his nick is @Full_marx so it had much cool factor. Loved it. Miss him, was a great guy.
So if I understand well, I need to think about putting hashtags in all my toots... and maybe have one that would define me to retrieve all exchanges i've had?
What happened to him? Seemed he was really deep and understood a lot about life...
You don't need to use hashtags in all posts, they are useful when applied lightly and with care.
I use a couple, as I mentioned -- and for me, nomad on the lanes of the Fediverse, they allow me to find posts no matter where. That is so very cool.
I absolutely despise the idiots (typical at instagram) that put hash tags in every word in a post; that is not only ugly, but a wasteful use of computing resources.
The idea is that hash tags will be indexed -- which requires processing time and storage. If we polute the database with noobie, senseless tags like instastooges do, it only slows down ANY searches using hash tags. Nice job, noobs. NOT.
Karl disappeared back in December, and I have missed him much, He posted a couple of toots sometime later, but that was it.
We had some great conversations -- like with you, they brought back memories and allowed me to wax poetic, which we both enjoyed. Inspirational, pleasurable. Fireside chats.
But we have to accept life's transitional nature, and ejoy the moment, while still honouring the people we remember with fondness.
You are missed, dear friend. Be well, wherever the road takes you, @Full_marx .
Ok, so use sparingly and wisely. Got that.
The exchange you got are to be cherished for sure.
Maybe he'll be back or not but what he gave you - as inspiring you to nourish your own creativity - is priceless and beautiful

Thank you, yes, really. Very much like our interactions, which are just wonderful too.
Certainly hope we could meet again.
