Ok I have no idea if this is going to be any good, but I got this app for learning Chinese (which isn't really my plan right now but okay, when do I ever do things that are my plan) and it is so cute!! It has a cat that finds some kind of creature? computerfairi.es/media/Ossm6C5 computerfairi.es/media/uHe_T-p

Mastodon Autostraddle article is 80% a go!

Is there a good source for the history of Mastodon? My eds would like some background info on how it was built, especially the stuff that relates to how queer-centric it often is.

oh okay, mastty is both pretty and very usable. (only the font size when writing a toot is uncomfortably smol.)

(still, I think I'm actually just really happy with Tusky.)

sometimes, a thing looks pretty because it hides everything that you need out of sight, at least 3 taps away

(I tried Subway Tooter earlier and didn't like it, so I tried other apps which were way worse even though one looked prettier)

(Tusky is fine actually, I'm happy with Tusky)

@pandanouk oh I haven't tried that one yet :) yes, figuring these things out is hard, i totally agree :o

image of big dog 

@pandanouk awwww, it is huge and fluffy and I would hug it! *-*

btw, sadly, to hide an image, you still have to mark it nsfw seperately. the cw function doesn't include that yet. (but hopefully soon github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/)

Actually, in this vein does anyone know any good software for wireframing and prototyping a website?

I've been looking into it and it looks like Pencil is an option, but I'm not wholly familiar.

@AvaJarvisArt i tried a few just now and mastodon.art was the only one where i didn't see a preview. mastodon.social, cybre.space and computerfairi.es had one.

Hey #Mastodon, I need your help!
Is there a #foss #wifi map app (preferably for #android), i.e., an app where people share their Wi-Fi passwords?
All apps that I know of are either not very useful due to lack of user base or loaded with pesky ads.
#opensource #freesoftware #floss #fdroid
Boost please!

Okay, I just replaced Podcast Addict with AntennaPod (github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaP), mainly because I don't like the former's name tbh. And I think I like AntennaPod at least as much, probably more.

Nice, considering I had so much trouble finding ANY podcatcher app that I liked.

Helloooooo mastodon! Going on a long car trip. Need podcast recommendations! Any ideas, anyone?

Ah, the instances list at instances.mastodon.xyz/ has, for some reason, been made less useful. Now when you choose the list, it only gives you a few at a time, and no longer seems to be searchable.

Much harder to compare sizes and the like now. Is there another alternative that gives that information in its place?
