@derickflorian Do you have to actively block to actually block? Rightclick, isn't it? Or does it already do a fair job of blocking without you needing to do anything besides carrying it in your offhand?

@kjr There's a section 'Verification' over at https://qoto.org/settings/profile

That way you can verify via a site you own that this account is indeed your Mastodon account.

@robryk And I agree with you. I have to see what'll happen when we get around to updating our server to their version as well. Some features are nice, but not everything's an improvement.

@robryk Something that's useful to know for the future:

You can copy any Mastodon-links in your Qoto search bar, and it'll open those links within your Qoto interface, which might be more useful to you.

Additionally, clicking on the user icon on their profile page within Qoto's interface will lead to their original profile page on their own instance.

@robryk When I go to https://mastodon.social/@foone very specifically, I'd see that they've moved and you would see the 'Go to profile'.

Then after clicking 'Go to profile' it'd load the profile INSIDE the interface of mastodon.social. (which is annoying, but ok)

Then indeed go to those 3 dots and 'Go to original page', and you'd finally end up where you want to be.

I agree, 'Go to profile' should just go to the profile on the moved-to instance immediately. Staying within mastodon.social's interface is more useful if you have an account over at mastodon.social.

@robryk Maybe it helps if I logged out off mastodon.social in the first place to test this out... (yes I have a few accounts around the Fediverse, including this).

So umm.. the first link you gave, once I'm logged out, immediately brings me to https://digipres.club/@foone which is good?

@robryk Clicking on 'Open original page' does lead me to https://digipres.club/@foone though.

@robryk That user has clearly moved on to another instance.

That links shows me this (see image).

Mastodon.social seems to break the behavior of clicking on the user image. If you copy that URL into Qoto's search bar, you'll see that clicking on the user image would lead to their web front profile page.

I wonder if we'll break this behavior as well when we upgrade Qoto's Mastodon server.

@robryk Why are you linking from mastodon.social there??

Might be that mastodon.social has a different interface that breaks this behavior.

@robryk Just click on the user icon in that page?

@kjr I am pretty certain many newcomers don't really have an idea about servers blocking servers in general.

At least @freemo is trying to think of a solution with his #UFoI idea.

@kjr Scholar.social blocks qoto.org, nothing we can do about it.

@pwinn Magic hour apparently means 'during sunset' to MidJourney?
