Hi everyone, You may have noticed a small change on the website. From now on, upvotes work just like on Lemmy - they are equivalent to Mastodon’s “favourite.” You can boost a post using the button that replaced “favourite.” Another change is that you can now rate and boost your own posts. Boosting has a one-time effect - it elevates the post to the top of the “Active” list, adds points used for the “Hot” section, and appears as a boost on other instances.
A language selection dropdown has been added to the footer - thank you all for that!
It seems that the Docker update has also brought significant improvements.
Now, I want to focus on bringing the instance creation instructions to a satisfactory state.
I promise to get back to your questions and comments as soon as possible - there have been quite a few of them. But for now, I need to keep an eye on the queue charts to make sure I don’t stumble and accidentally cause problems for other instances ;)
Oh, and here’s some good news: my application for Fast Forward has been accepted, and I’ll do my best to make it truly thrilling here soon ;p
Meanwhile, I’ll be away for a bit, but I’m constantly monitoring reports, the matrix, email, and mentions.
Have a great day!
Not sure if you’re aware of that already, but the order of items for Activity is currently boosts, reduces, faves, which I assume is still a holdover from the old way to do it or at least it’s kinda unintuitive. Don’t think this is a particularly urgent issue, but maybe something to mark down for later.
