Not only we have the new forum, but I have just collected a topic we discussed here, earlier today in our local feed -- and made it into a prettier, formatted and in-line illustrated page.
The way a good manual page could be; and there's a need, the documentation available is very limited; so I plan to add to it.
First Topic, brand new Forum.
Assigning Colour Themes to Allow easy Multi-Instances use in Pinafore Client
The Forum is publicly Visible (anyone can read) and open to new user registrations if you want to comment, ask questions about Pinafore or have any suggestions to the Author.
We will be sure to pass those along, and Nolan is very good with support, promptly responding when I had something to ask.
Many Thanks to Nolan Lawson (@nolan) and Dr. Freeman (@freemo).

FYI
"Aguas frescas (Spanish for "cool waters", or literally "fresh waters") are light non-alcoholic beverages made from one or more fruits, cereals, flowers, or seeds blended with sugar and water. They are popular in Mexico, Central America and the United States. Some of the more common flavors include tamarind, hibiscus, and horchata."

I am going to read your blog post on Shame and blogging
every time that I get caught up in it myself.
It has been literally years i wanted to do this. I have about 1500 pages written on paper of thoughts and ideas that I wanted to express but never did because of shame and fear.
So I always said to myself I'm no good at writing (funny that it is easier to write in english than french even though english is not native to me) and kept on avoiding it.
Also I found it a chore to put things on wordpress for its bloated outlook and I wanted to use ethical social network.
So thanks again for the reminder.

@globcoco Pretty amazing, isn't it -- considering the whole idea of their main project is a tool for writers.
But programmers tend to think that things are obvious -- because they worked on then for so long, they assume they are. Wrongly, in most cases.
I see that everywhere - and I did some programming, taught some too, but I am not consumed into it like people leading a project can be sometimes.
The User manual that Ange wrote was the first one I ever found -- about two weeks after having to learn it without any references or manuals, but I think Docs are important so I jumped into translating hers.
The ideal project team will have people from various backgrounds, with leaders, newer programmers, documentation and user experience specialists.
I have received a DM consultation inquiring if I would like to join a Tech company, recently, based on my work here which they saw. Higher level, executive role even. 😄

You may not hear about it, but #Greece is in a pivotal period regarding sea health, #tourism and #climatejustice .
During the lockdown, a set of anti-environmental laws passed, allowing fossil-fuel companies to start harmful research activities throughout the country, both on land and seas. Yes, there is probably natural gas in Greece, so why not drill everywhere?
The laws were promoted as a "modernization of environmental regulations" and cover many different subjects, here's the juice:
1. You can start searching for fossil fuels by announcing it to two state bodies, no permission needed,
2. Natura 2000 regions are practically no longer protected from drilling and other activities,
3. Local authorities no longer have a voice on how their lands will be utilized,
4. If you want to invest in wind parks, you are encouraged to build anything larger than 150MW (the law is not very clear about this one).
#Greenpeace and #WWF are working together to stop this. Today 4 Greenpeace activists were arrested for protesting peacefully outside the Ministry of the Environment and Energy.
Hi Gerrit,
I really love your post:

**And Here's Another of Those Designer Ideas, by RG...**
A preview only but it's looking nice, and I will be gladly sharing it soon on the Follow on Friday feature posts.
A list of Feline lover and cat posting accounts all over Fediverse, including some I had never seen, courtesy of my good friend @realcaseyrollins -- Thank you!
Discouse Forum is a pretty way to organize information, I will have to think on what's the best way to provide as much within the limits of a Toot in Mastodon -- or better, in my GlitchSocial account.

@globcoco Glad you liked the article -- I felt much better after knowing I wasn't the only one having more difficulty concentrating on reading books, something I have always loved.
But, affected we are!
Pass the word, share the link, it's a good reference.
I am reading an article thanks to @design_RG !
And in this article, it talks about how technology has impacted our brain functions.
And this is not only technology as we know it.
The use of clock for example has influenced us in ways that changed how we relate to our own rythm and action.
I'm leaving here a small part of this great article extracted from https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-us-stupid/306868/ and send to me by @design_RG :
>In Technics and Civilization, the historian and cultural critic Lewis Mumford described how the clock “disassociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences.” The “abstract framework of divided time” became “the point of reference for both action and thought.”
>The clock’s methodical ticking helped bring into being the scientific mind and the scientific man. But it also took something away. As the late MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum observed in his 1976 book, Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, the conception of the world that emerged from the widespread use of timekeeping instruments “remains an impoverished version of the older one, for it rests on a rejection of those direct experiences that formed the basis for, and indeed constituted, the old reality.” In deciding when to eat, to work, to sleep, to rise, we stopped listening to our senses and started obeying the clock.

@freemo Well done, very good.
And excellent work on implementing that feature, new in non-Japanese instances (in Nippon they created that for Misskey).
I was honoured that you pursued this feature to serve my own nomad lifestyle, lol, but I need the real thing, to join and post as a Local in any instance I am interested it is my modus-operandi.
Thanks to the power and flexibility of the great Pinafore client for Fediverse instances, each of my current 11 or so are ONE click away; I do keep various tabs of Pinafore open, with the most frequently used instances loaded in each.
As I have stated and explained before, this is a personal choice, for a inquiring mind and mid to advanced level users. Not for the average user, who is better served by locating one good instance and staying with it.
Qoto.org has Many good things, and that is the reason I volunteer and put many hours and thousands of posts here.
But that's only one side of me; and I have interests that make having various accounts desirable; and I act on them, as you know.
This morning I am connected and actively communicating from 3 instances atm; each with a focus and local feature set that makes it interesting and useful.
But the feature you are referring to, and which got endorsed by a well created poll, is not an important one for me (reasons stated above).
Getting a better software instance is Number one -- I am moving to Glitch-Social as much as possible. Pleroma awaits a thorough evaluation, which I plan to publish in my Blog.
Enhanced text formatting is so satisfying that I dread anytime I post something significant -- like this very post, which I will use as part of a Blog, real soon -- in an instance which doesn't off me that.
I remain a user here, but Nomad is my heart.

Hello. I was wondering if Pixelfed could work as an alternative to https://alternativeto.net/software/postimage-org/.
I like its open source vibe and your great ethic 😊

Ok -- how to :
* Pinafore in one Tab, with Qoto selected as the active instance. Call this Tab 1.
* Pinafore in a second tab, with [other instance with less Search power] loaded as active instance. Call this Tab 2.
If you need to find something from a Text search do this :
* jump into Tab 1. Select Search.
* Do it, and you will find any results Qoto has on file. Aha -- there it is.
* click on the Dot menu on that result post
* and select "Copy link to Toot"(screenshot added here).
Now you have the URL for that relevant toot!
* jump into Tab 2, and use it.
* you can insert the URL into Tab 2 Search field
* it will retrieve the Toot, and now you can Boost, Reply, Favourite, etc.
Or simply insert the Toot URL you already got, from Tab 1, into a new post or reply in Tab 2.
Voilá, c'est ça.

Arggg, I'm trying to add another instance in Pinafore but it says:
"Error: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.. Is this a valid Mastodon instance? Is a browser extension blocking the request? Are you in private browsing mode?"

I won't write a huge toot but whooooooooaaaaah I could write a hell of a long tooooooooooot!
