@kawherp Oh, you don't usually do wetfood? I do both. Dryfood available all day, but at certain times of the day (well, 'certain' is stretching it, but at least scattered somewhat regularly throughout the day) a bit of wet food from the sachet. If I don't do this, he'd become so thin you can feel his spine sticking out when rubbing over his back. :/

Of course, he's already 13 years old, so he's actually a very old grumpy boy now.

@vielbein Just search online, there are so many guides about it. First hit: https://www.markdownguide.org
:P

@kkstuppy Mm, they seem a bit slow and not really accessible from here somehow. But I'm glad you found your old crew! Good luck with your new home!

@kawherp You've got a very interesting household with those two around, lol.

Very relatable too. My cat really isn't the snuggly kind, but he loves to be 'in the same room as me'. I do force cuddle him at least once a day, though. After all... even though he owns me, he is still my pet! ;)

I'll have to make an appointment with the vet sometime soon (yearly routine). Probably might need something done to his teeth again, he is eating a bit difficult lately. Although today he finally actually cleared his plate without altogether too much fuss.

@vielbein Markdown is a standardized easy-to-write language for basic things like bolded text, italics, headings, links, quote blocks, code blocks, etc.

Look it up, there'll be plenty of resources telling you the gist of it. :)

I think Afrikaans is something weird. I'm not a linguist mind you, but I've looked into it a little bit in the past and this is what I somewhat remember:

Afrikaans is not a descendant from Dutch, but from some Dutch-ancestor that we share. It was established before a proper standardized Dutch language was around in our country.

So while we were evolving to proper Dutch here, they diverged from there on. It turned into this language that sounds like a very kiddie Dutch to us, but it's totally its own language.

Of course I could be totally wrong here, but that's what I remember from my little research back then.

@waiterich I believe Mastodon Glitch might be one of the most used Mastodon forks around (I don't know for sure, it's just what I think). So if you're interested in knowing what it can do, the following link might be of interest:

Might give you an idea what else can be around.

@kawherp Oh, cats... nobody can live up to the cats' expectations, don't feel bad about it. Just force-cuddle them once in a while even if they yowl in protest. ;)

@RomanticSkeptic @tho@c.im That doesn't surprise me at all. It's part of the cultural and regional differences in the language. :)

In colonised Indonesia (some 70 years ago...) the Dutch spoken over there was a lot more 'proper Dutch' than the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands itself. On top of that, it had some Indonesian influence as well with certain words and phrases.

@vielbein Not yet. @freemo has to fix it, but it is the intention that it'll be usable again.

@vielbein I dunno, what specialized stuff would there have to be? We've got a list of nice extra features that you can see in the About page, some of which are useful for scientific articles.

And besides Qoto there are a few more science-oriented instances, so there are definitely some science servers around.

@vielbein Wait, what're you talking about? Qoto is a STEM-oriented instance... isn't that science enough for you?!

@owi No wonder, almost everybody seemed to go there by default. The biggest instance of the Fediverse is getting slammed hard!

We still have the space here, so welcome to Qoto! :)

@ranil We have a Delete & Redraft if you want to correct your typos. Preferably before anyone comments or likes/boosts your post if you wanted to keep them. ;)

@Baley
*Looks at address*
Yeah, you're in The Good Place. ;)

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!

@arctangent That would probably be the social thing to do. I don't have arachnophobia, but I can imagine people getting freaked out when seeing one.

@vielbein You mean in the profile page? Add http:// or https:// in front of the address for it to be recognized as a link.

@vielbein Qoto is federated with many servers, yes. Anything you post publicly will be federated with them. If you check the Federated timeline, you can see posts from people from all over the Fediverse.

@vielbein Take your time, it's not a competition. You can always ask the community for info.
