Arataka<p>Well... I accidently made it so no inbound requests from the entire Fediverse would actually make it to my instance... Fixed it now! But... anything that was favorited, boosted, or replied to for the last 2-3 hours or so isn't showing up for me :arataka_stare:. </p><p>Pro tip, don't use "bot fight mode" on a Mastodon instance.</p><p><a href="https://esper.lol/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://esper.lol/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://esper.lol/tags/mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastoadmin</span></a></p>
Fox Ritch :fjoxicon:<p>why doesnt mastodon just link the images from the instance it comes from. this would save way more storage space and not require me to have almost a entire tb of storage for a small instance like mine.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.hostnetwork.xyz/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hostnetwork.xyz/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hostnetwork.xyz/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>storage</span></a></p>

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯<p>The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.</p><p>Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse.

Roni Laukkarinen<p>Another new feature in the May edition of the Mastodon daily build. I have seen something similar in Bluesky.

Roni Laukkarinen<p>This was probably a corner case - a bug between versions. I removed the post manually.
