Fediverse people, need your advice! 🙂
Do you know any GoToSocial servers that are open to public signups?
Would especially like to know about general servers that aren't aimed at a specific niche.
I've had many people asking about joining a GTS server lately, not sure what to suggest as there isn't a "JoinGoToSocial" website anywhere and the official GTS site is aimed at self-hosting people.
Many commented on my thread re: a modern laptop that gives as much of both my hardware & software repair as is possible — knowing getting 100% on either of those is impossible on new hardware.
@mntmn is wonderful, but its form factor doesn't suit my primary need for a laptop (lotsa tight-packed travel).
So I'll buy a #NovaCustom laptop.
I wanna configured it as #FOSS as possible.
Pls Help w/ my (many) questions.
@novacustom, don't feel obligated to reply but I'd love if you do!!
So, if you're working as a consultant and need to setup something like Microsoft Bookings (which I had at my previous employer), what are the best options?
Free is good, reliability is more important.

1) Why do you love plants and how do you interact with plants in your life (intentionally/background)?
2) What makes learning about plants/ecology accessible/inaccessible to you (ie compare with birding)?
3) Do you prefer a formal or informal teaching environment, and why?
4) What are some subtopics relating to native plants that are of interest to you?
5) Would you prefer to learn to ID plants with or without phone apps?
6) How many plants would you be comfortable learning to ID in a 1 hour session?

David G. Wells’ “The Penguin dictionary of curious and interesting…” books are excellent and have been great source of inspiration for me.
They are now are almost 30 years old.
What new entries would you put in these books—either because they’re new after publication, or could have (should have) been included at the time?
I need to figure out how I can set up a self-hosted system to sell my documentary The Illusionists.
Sure, I could host it on PeerTube and add all kinds of foreign language subtitles there... but I need a solution to generate unique URLs for everyone who purchases a 48-hour streaming license... all this to avoid piracy of course.
Yes I know the Fediverse loves 🏴☠️ but how can we independent filmmakers survive?
I've been using a mainstream platform to sell my film and they have just been bought by an infamous company, so I want to decamp ASAP.
I would love your suggestions.
And no, services that offer to sell digital products won't work because it's a 90 minute film that requires subtitles for many so the viewer needs to see it on an online platform that displays subtitles.

#askfedi What is the best oldschool #forum software one can self-host on a small server?
"Best" as in some tradeoff of the following:
* bugfree (or not many bugs)
* safe, as in no or no discovered CVEs
* features for users, mods and admins
* maintainability
* safe, as in allows invite-only, and maybe review posts before being actually visible
Background is, that I have been thinking about hosting one for a long time, but it would probably be only for friends and friends of friends.
When you write a thread of toots on #Mastodon, how do you it?
(I make the original toot, then have to navigate to find it, then hit “reply”. Rinse and repeat. It’s a bit clunky; I am hoping for a smoother way.)
Not sure how to triangulate on the problem, but for the last two days I've not been able to upload images to pixelfed.art from my phone.
Yesterday's sketch had to wait for me to turn on the laptop and use that instead.
Anyone having similar issues?
(I'm using Tusky at present)
