Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It's more "modern" than any mainstream social media website now.

Completely beside the point, but it looks like you are posting from Mastodon, which is commendable.

I think it could really take off, as lots of people make servers for multiplayer games. Being able to have your own stats website for a specific community or online tourney would be cool. Maybe you could even expand it beyond Dota 2?

Oh that's cool! Whatever works really. I think it's neat how Funkwhale, Bookwyrm, or Peertube instances able to federate normally with other microblog style websites. You can even follow Lemmy communities and profiles on microblog sites lol, but if the admin hasn't set it up it's janky.

This is dope! Kind of stuff that could easily break containment. Does this work with Mastodon and its forks?

Use one of the crazier ActivityPub platforms if you want funny reacts. A lot of them are like an unholy mix of Twitter and Discord

Those guys always show up when they're needed, don't they?

Movim if they're private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don't bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts

I have heard the reasons why, but I still can't wrap my head around Mastodon's decisions regarding the ability of reactions to carry between instances & profile search. The solution to a problem should never be "scroll for 7 minutes". All of the instances still doing that should move on, because the whole "dopamine loop" neuroscience meme is nothing confirmed or worth breaking core site features over.

Google would beat you to death with a wrench if they couldn't find better methods.

Just when I was starting to trust Qatar due to Al Jazeera's journalism, too. 😖
