May be very ambitious, but I want to run a small, personal #Mastodon instance and have 5 real-life friends migrate to it.

I want to see people being #open again like they were on #Facebook when it was new to them.

I hate to ask, but here goes.

I'm looking for a role as a #frontend #developer. #Contracts or #fulltime. Preferably #UK where I have previous #remote work ex from.

I've been looking a while and nothing with the right fit has come along. Work life balance is super important. If UK, happy to work completely in your timezone!

My site is https://rusingh.com and I'm happy to email you my CV/resume. Will start immediately once we're on the same page. 💯

#Boost please?

I've heard some folks here toot about having left #Reddit (or in the process).

Why and how?

I think I want to do it too...

One of the better #Redux tutorials I've seen. 🎉

I understand it might be great for performance, but it's confusing for the average person to see incomplete profiles with no way to fetch more info.

Also... why don't I see anything when I visit a profile on any other instance? Can #Pleroma not request the full profile? Why *just* what we *need*?

Read https://blog.soykaf.com/post/how-federation-works/ and it appears to me there's a lot of initial work to do before I invite friends over. 😕

So how does this federation thing work? How soon after following someone on another instance do I get to see my federated timeline populate?

Up and running with a rough-edges install of Pleroma with Soapbox in less than an hour. 😲

Tried my hand at a custom install but realized it would be a headache to maintain, not just install.

I hope Spacebear's small plan is sufficient for our needs. $8/mo itself will be hard to break even with. 😕

My #Eleventy starter kit is #1 on #Speedlify Eleventy Starter Kits. 🎉

It helps the starter is so bare-bones. 🙃

#Spacebear provides #Hometown hosting! This is pretty cool! A bit expensive but probably worth it for the peace of mind.

Not sure how many approx. users small and medium plans can accommodate. Dropped them an email. 📧

Is there anything against buying a domain with a TLD that doesn't describe the website at all?

For example, buying a .art domain for something that has nothing to do with art. 🤔

Opting out of the advance web interface for some time. It's overwhelming.

The *only* feature I really need from the advance interface is being able to pin hashtags. If I could have them pinned as a link in my navigation bar, it would be so cool!

Weird how I spent two hours writing a draft post. 🙃

Especially when I could have spent the same time learning more of the #React ecosystem. 😂

https://blueprintjs.com/ is the answer, yay.

Do we have a #React UI library that supports dark mode via prefers-color-scheme out of the box? 🤔
