Here's an actual "public" post. Let's see where it reaches!

Notes on @takahe and :

I can find an follow a Pixelfed profile (ex: @kelsonv )

I can search for and view a post on Pixelfed.

I can like or boost the Pixelfed post. The like makes it back to the original instance, but the boost does not. The boost is visible on both & mastodon.

I can reply, but the reply doesn't make it back to Pixelfed (or else it's just a lot slower than the like)

Entradero Basin in spring and fall. The flood control basin has been partly restored for stormwater infiltration and as habitat for native plants and migrating waterfowl, bounded by a city park on one side, baseball fields on the other, and hills all around. The city is currently expanding the basin while the water level is low.

Along the side of a towering cliff perches Paro Taktsang Monastery.

The monastery has held shrines along the bluffs and caves for more than a thousand years.

The monastery connects to the massive cavern network known as the Tiger's Nest that weaves throughout the mountains.

The cliffside monastery offers inspiration for mysterious, isolated temples.

PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. www.accuweather.com/en/leisure

Important Update to the Mastodon/IFTTT How-To

I made a huge mistake in my article on how to post to Mastodon through IFTTT.

I gave the wrong directions on what to put in the Application Website field in Mastodon. It just needs to be ifttt.com. It isn’t used for identifying the source to your Mastodon server as I thought it was, but appears as a link when the post is viewed by itself on the web. If you followed on my mistake, I highly recommend (1) removing the URL from your Mastodon config and just putting in ifttt.com and (2) going into your Webhooks settings at IFTTT and generating a new key. I feel horrible that I messed this up, and I am so sorry to everyone I steered wrong.

Um, no thanks, I'd rather pay for coffee across the street than take my chances here.

Hey, everyone who follows me who is hacking on somethigna round ActivityPub/fediverse — please reply here and share a link to your app/GitHub/Glitch! Would love to show off all the creativity that's happening right now. (And please boost so your friends can share their projects too.)

It is that time of the year. The Wreath of Khan.

OK, so here are my notes on getting @takahe to work in less than 512MB of RAM on the equivalent of a Raspberry Pi 2 (spoiler: I'm throttling it a bit):

Also, it works with pretty well, so I'm going to test other stuff (like serverless) soon.

Ah, I *can* post images through Pinafore, just not very big ones. All the ones over 2MB I tried got an error when uploading.

Something in the daisy family IIRC.

Here's a I saw this morning while out walking

Interesting: a boost from Mastodon with a photo showed up in my timeline here on the desktop, but not in Tusky.
