@shom @shom@gts.shom.dev Ha! I think you're a way better test subject than I am, since I haven't even tried to play with the blog feature yet.
@SarraceniaWilds@sunny.garden I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if people would want personal reminders and thought they might find it intrusive so I didn't send them :(
Going to see what happens if I make a root post for a movie watch-a-long here and reply from my usual account. Hopefully it behaves.
Today's littlefedi weirdness (so far!)
I turned on "follow requests" and they are now happening, but there is no way I can find to accept/reject them in the standard UI. On the notifications page clicking on the one that says "follow request from X & 5 others" goes to X's profile, so I can't even figure out who the other 5 are.
@stefano
@srlevine @stefano One of the biggest UI problems is that on the standard feed the compose area takes up a huge chunk of real estate if you have a horizontal tablet layout, but there is a lot of space on the sides. And once you scroll down to see more of the feed there is no way that I'm easily seeing to go straight to the compose field without scrolling all the way back to the top.
Ideally I want to see the compose at the same time as my feed so that I can do stuff like monsterdon where I watch lots of posts go by and comment myself without scrolling back and forth. But that might be a pretty specific use case and for that particular thing it might make more sense for me to just use a different web UI.
Toad took all of the buttons out of his pocket. He took his sewing box down from the shelf. Toad sewed the buttons all over his jacket.
@DelilahTech@tech.lgbt just for helping test littlefedi, no need to follow I probably won't post too much here
@srlevine that last error the problem wasn't missing text it looks like a problem if I try to reply to an unlisted post with a post marked "local", not sure about "local unlisted" or any of the other options (unlisted replying to unlisted worked fine)
@srlevine more weird stuff
no alttext, lots of screen shots with just th eproblem in the alttext
screen shots for helping troubleshoot things here, the one where phanpy.social's interface doesn't have a local posting option is I think phanpy problem since I don't have that option on my normal account (which is on a glitch server with local only posting as an option)
@stefano this thread I started last night
@stefano Ok, I found the issue, turns out the option was under "account migration", which was further down the page and I hadn't read the details of since I wasn't planning to migrate the account. Since none(?) of the other flavors of fedi have the import feature yet there might need to be some sort of "this only works if you have an account on another littlefedi server" notification. Unless I just missed it, quite possible.
@stefano Under import it only wants a zip file, but I download my mutes/blocks/bookmarks as individual csv files. Can I just zip them together or is it expecting a different type of export than the standard downloads? Or am I looking in the wrong spot?
(also I can't seem to paste an image into this box, I have to have saved it to upload media)
(and no image preview while writing alt-text is *rough*)
(sorry if this was not the sort of feedback you're looking for, I'm maybe a kind of weird beta tester)
(not sure what local vs. local unlisted is going to do differently...)
