I have looked everywhere, but I can't find this post from 11 February! It isn't showing up in my Sent timeline. So if it is on my profile, and/or if you have seen it, I apologise.

I am not closing my account here, but I need to try something other than Friendica, due to accessibility issues. I am considering Akkoma, but am open to other networks if they are compatible with Mastodon.

I am seeking an instance with the following specifications.

Accessible interface (I use a screen reader called NVDA). If it uses Semantic html and isn't cluttered, that's a great start. I would prefer it to be compatible with Mastodon so that I could also use TweeseCake as a client. I need to easily be able to access things such as notifications, follow requests, my own posts, to be able to search for tags, people, my posts etc.

Posting limit of 5,000 characters or more (more preferred.

Ability to pin, unpin, edit, and delete posts.

Ability to filter content, so that I don't see certain words or phrases. (This doesn't work with TweeseCake, so it's not as important as the rest, unless the site is so accessible that I can use it often.)

Ability to select between seeing all posts of someone or only some, and to choose whether to let someone follow me without my seeing his posts or to follow him completely. (Friend versus Subscriber on Friendica).

Extensive profile with keywords. (Keywords may be a Friendica feature, so can be skipped.)

Most people write in English and are not politically, technologically, or gaming obsessed. No radicals of any pursuasion. (the English bit is just to help me find friends on my particular instance.)

Free speech (nothing illegal or homophobic). I personally avoid obscenities.)

If such an instance exists, please tell me. I found https://akkoma.fediverse.observer/list[7] but that's just a list with no real information about each instance. I would have to go through over 400 of them, choose the ones from the UK, Canada, and America (they're the most likely to have English instances), then go through those to see if they meet my requirements, but that's ridiculous.

I am not a programmer, so please don't suggest I start my own instance or join a network that is not set up with a webpage and/or to accept a client, as I know nothing about these things other than that they run on Linux and I'm a Windows user. I just want something that works. Also, if there are any demonstration instances, please let me know. I heard of one where accounts only lasted five days, but it seems to be gone.

... and I'm back, via the "web".

Had dinner, watched some weirdass WarHammer 40k stuff on the toob and sat down and had an "ah, how about..." moment ("maybe this needs something like a make clean").

Now #GlitchSoc enabled... not quite sure what that means in entirety yet, just gotta try these things innit.

I was trying to sorta blindly follow the instructions here: https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

To "upgrade" from vanilla Mastodon, which I run as "software" (as opposed to "Docker") checked out using git... I hit 3, well perhaps 2, issues:

1. The 'git' command sequence given doesn't work for me, I needed the below instead of: git checkout glitch-soc/main

git checkout -b glitch
git branch --set-upstream-to=glitch-soc/main glitch
git pull

This is may be because I have an older git version on my Debian 12.9 VPS?

1/2...

@thegibson @carbontwelve @c0debabe @researchfairy ...holy void, seriously?

...i need to go sleep on this information.

Question.
What would be your top three contenders for #Mastodon (or our fork...we're using #glitchsoc, right?), if a migration script could just...automagically appear?

EoL notices during build of the most recent #glitchsoc

To apologize for all the churn with my Fedi presence, I am donating the top level of mayhem.academy to a SearXNG instance. Enjoy your private, aggregated search results.

#glitchsoc admins: is there a way to bring back the "replied to" on a reply posts? It's super annoying that it''s missing and I can't find a setting to activate it

I have no images on my instance after the latest #glitchsoc upgrade.

Folks, has anyone using mastodon 4.3+glitch.th noticed that sometimes their posts are being duplicated?

Can someone confirm what the header sizing is for profiles when using #Glitchsoc?

I've uploaded this damn header under three different sizes and none of them fit right.

Thanks.

@inherentlee
I can recommend infosec.space: excellent moderation, a huge character limit, and some nice extra #GlitchSoc features.

I wish the #glitchsoc fork had a forum or community of any kind to just chat about things. Sometimes I have dumb questions and I feel annoying creating a whole git issue about it. Sorry ClearlyClaire where ever you are
