After publishing my #Nextcloud setup guide, a couple of people asked me whether they can host on shared hosting.

TL;DR - Yes!

Here's how:

@tootapp when is core functionality such as the ability to report within the app and polls coming?

The lack of progress with the app, considering it’s not free, is getting frustrating. I thinking about switching to Mast, but I don’t want to as I really love this app.

The new #Mastodon layout is so good! I’m actually considering removing the mobile apps from my devices and just using the WebUI.

Great thing about iOS is when you add a webpage to your home screen, it kinda acts like an app anyway.

We’re now on Mastodon 2.9, which comes with the new single column layout.

New users will get the new layout, but existing users will need to switch.

You can switch between the single and multi column layouts by going to Settings > Preferences > Appearance then enabling/disabling the “Advanced Web Interface”.

Soooo much great advice following my question about ad blockers. Thanks everyone!

I went with uBlock Origin and I'm going to finally get PiHole running at home this weekend (since the weather is crap).

Thanks again everyone!

People of the Fediverse, I need your help...

What is the best ad-blocker addon for #Firefox?

Oh FFS. For some reason it didn’t add the image. Sorry everyone. It was a screenshot from Reddit saying “share your location to see what Redditors are doing near you”.

Do people actually do this?! #Privacy

Just been catching up on the @ubuntupodcast and @Wimpy was talking about so,e really cool features that are on their way in UbuntuMATE 19.10.

I usually stick to LTS, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to this time...

Hey @tootapp I love the new iPad interface. However, it would be great to have the ability to shrink the sidebar to just icons (or hide it completely), so it doesn’t take up a 3rd or the screen. Is there somewhere I can make a feature request please?

A friend of mine (relatively new #Linux user) complained that they didn't know how to mount a partition in Ubuntu, so they can use it for backups.

They know how to do it now, hopefully this will help others too.

Think I’ll take a break from Mastodon for a few days while all this Gab bullshit dies down.

Honestly, I’m beginning to think it’s impossible to have a social space that’s void of drama queens these days...

See ya soon, folks. 👋
