  • My recommendation would be to find a local instance - one that’s closest to you - and sign up for that. I’m not in Atlanta, but I am in Georgia, so I signed up for the yall.theatl.social instance (the server is in Atlanta), and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a smaller instance, but I converse regularly with the admins when I have a question or a problem, and they are accessible and always open to suggestions.

    I like it so much that I also use the theatl.social Mastodon instance as my main Mastodon as well. I throw them a few bucks every month to help with costs, and I’m happy to do it.

    I would agree with those who say smaller instances are the way to go.












  • This seems to be more prevalent for some reason. Someone put this on Facebook last week:

    You can tell it’s been run through AI because of the off color paw on the wife bear, and whatever that is hanging down on the husband bear.

    Mark Parisi of Off The Mark comic posted demanding that it be removed because his comic was plagiarized. I looked up the original, and he’s right.

  • Man, that all makes perfect sense, and I appreciate the reply. Thanks for laying out the challenges for a small dev to develop for iOS.

    I actually like the look of Mbin and Piefed, but like I said, I use Voyager to surf Lemmy a lot of the time, and Voyager doesn’t support Mbin/Piefed. I’d be willing to try and maybe switch to a different app, but there’s currently no iOS app for either. I’m not above using a PWA, but the Piefed instance I signed up to doesn’t even offer an actual PWA, but just a bookmark that opens Piefed in a Safari tab.

    So, to bring it back to the original question, that’s the reasons that Piefed is a no-go for me.
