GoToSocial is getting a ton of attention lately. So I just wanna reiterate that if you're using GtS, you're using alpha software that has many features not yet implemented, and is chocka with bugs. We're quite proud of how the alpha development phase is going so far, but we make no guarantees whatsoever about stability, data loss, performance, etc etc. You use alpha software at your own risk.

There are many things you can do in Mastodon (and mastodon clients) which will 404 on GtS because they're simply not implemented yet. We are aware of what these are, and they're documented both in the roadmap document and in the faq in the docs. We're currently revising the roadmap document for the next year, so we'll have an updated version to share soon (tm).

Opening issues about features that we've yet to implement will not get them finished any faster: if anything, it will be slower because we then have to deal with answering issues. It is especially unwelcome to comment 'where is x feature' on an unrelated PR / issue. The cake is in the oven and it's not ready to eat yet, so stop asking if you can stick your fingers in it.

The team managing PRs and development and admin and planning and triage and releases and offering help in the help channels is 4 people, only one of whom (tobi) currently works full time on the project. While we're very open to PRs, feedback, and collaboration, we are also essentially just weirdos who like to be left alone to tinker with code, cuddle cats and dogs, and listen to music. This is home grown, open source software which started as a hobby project. Not a big company with support staff. Please be mindful of this when you're asking for support!

If you want to recommend GoToSocial to people, thank you, your enthusiasm is very appreciated! But please accompany your recommendation with the provisos I mentioned here, so that people's expectations are set appropriately. We don't want anyone to come to the software expecting miracles and ending up disappointed.

Phew, thank you for reading ❤️!

the worst thing about tabbing out while waiting for a traffic light is that you pause the game, so the traffic light doesn't actually progress

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, docs.google.com/document/d/12p

thought i forgot to tune the cosmos postgres database (matrix and mastodon) but I didn't, so not sure if i should be disappointed or not

and most importantly, in a much better way than the mess of mastodon 4.x

in essence, what if FediFox could be your entire server frontend, just a standalone webclient or anything in between

i need to brainstorm this more but I have some interesting ideas for FediFox
