New to administering a Mastodon instance, hereβ
Any recommendations on how to go about increasing the character limit of user profile descriptions? I have seen this in effect on other instances. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Federation! I'm not entirely new to Mastodon, but this is my first personal instance. After leaving other big-name social networks, I wanted someplace trustworthy where people could find me by my real name.
I will do my best to use content warnings appropriately. Please correct me if I mess up!
Some of my interests: #privacy #security #linux #freesoftware #mobile #humor #podcasts #mbmbam #technostalgia #hiking #cats
See you around! πΎ
I'm really happy to announce that the company I work for has just publicly opened a #Mastodon instance for all its 5000 employees.
This is the result of an initiative @moritzheiber and I have started a year ago and have pushed through with the help of many other colleagues.

Hi #iOS #devs: The @matrix client #riotapp for iOS needs some accessibility love. Missing button labels, missing labels on bottom tabs, and rows that don't activate on double-tapping with VoiceOver on the Home tab. If you have a few spare cycles and would like to donate them to a good cause, this is one opportunity. The two Github issues are:

And just like that, we've reached the end of March...
Uhhh, I mean April? What?!
while #telegram is down (at least for some) take this as an oportunity to reflect:
- do you rely on a centralized service
- telegram runs on proprietary software
- it can't federate and creates by that something known as 'walled gargen'
- there are great alternatives you might like
#matrix (federated protocoll) -> https://about.riot.im/
#xmpp (federated protocoll) -> conversations.im/ , #jabber ...

Booted! System 6. It appears to have a full 4MB of ram already installed, so thatβs exciting.
Canβt wait for my transfer cable and floppy emu.

Hmm. I'm glad this is being worked on, but there's still a lot to do. I think an apology is in order.
OK, false alarm, I think -- it looks like you can drill down and get more specific with permissions in Hubzilla, beyond the three categories they initially describe.
