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)

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.

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.

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?

Fyi, deutschsprachige Menschis, die auch auf Birbsite sind, seit fast zwei Jahren gibt es dort einen Buchclub mit queerem/feministischem Anspruch: twitter.com/Zwitscherbooks

Die Abstimmung für die nächste Runde läuft noch bis 18:15 heute, diesmal nur zwischen 2 Büchern: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI

In ein paar Wochen können wieder alle neue Bücher vorschlagen.

GNU social and privacy 

Would a pull request to GNU social, that acknowledges Mastodon's restricted posting modes (by not posting directly to public timeline and disabling repost button on affected posts) be welcomed?

Or is it a sin to even consider having something be not visible to every single computer on the planet?

Okay but… I might have some extra money soon and I will probably spend it on comic books?

There is so much Squirrel Girl that I haven't read yet. And Lumberjanes.

And Backstagers Vol 1 should exist soon I think??

There will always either be fewer or waaaaay more USB cables than needed, we have to adjust to this at some point.
