@brome@social.marud.fr @youronlyone@firefish.social T/y very much. I made those edits about 30' ago, & have reloaded my tab several times. Many of my Antenna toots do include one or more of my tags... but sadly, many toots continue to be, as far as i can tell, entirely random & undesired. So atm i remain a bit confused.

#FirefishSocialNoobQuestions When creating a new #Deck layout, is there a setting i can use which, for whathever number of columns i've set for an individual deck, evenly distributes them across my tab's width sans-scrollbar by auto-adjusting their widths? Atm i've only achieved my desired appearance by tediously trial-&-erroring various column width pixels til they all fit; eventually i succeed, but it's terribly inefficient. I had thought the "flexible" option should do that, but it seems not to. 🤷‍♀️

@brome@social.marud.fr Oh wow, fantastic advice; thanks so much! Off now to edit my list.

Btw, silly question maybe, but HOW did you know that? Is there some excellent How To for #Firefish that explains this level of detail i can use as reference for my myriad current unknowns?

This one just cracked me up. 🤣

@ada@blahaj.zone Thx for replying! Happy to show it [albeit, maybe i'm about to be deeply embarrassed if i've done something cringeingly stoooopid...].

#Firefish #antenna

Each time i look in again on my still-newish #Firefish account, hoping to see some of the disappointing bugs resolved, i'm very quickly saddened again by apparently irrelevant toots appearing in my #followedhashtags #antenna. The picture shows a typical example. I do NOT follow those tags, so why is this toot here in my Antenna?

Then, i wondered if maybe, all this time, i might be fundamentally misunderstanding how to properly use Antennae for following tags. The closest tag i do follow, & whose toots i absolutely do want in this t/l, is #Linux ... by which my intention was that full word, but only that full word, not also that word as part of a longer tag. This pictured toot, https://firefish.social/notes/9hy57g0wn9nfkh0x, does otoh include tag #Linuxulator. Is Firefish's Antenna algorithm looking for all occurrences of my #Linux tag, even if only a fragment of a longer tag? If so, how can i stop it doing that, & make it only search for my literal tags as-is?

Btw, apologies to Vince -- i'm not trying to be mean to your fine toot; tis just a good example of how my Antenna is either incorrectly functioning, or instead my erroneous usage of it. Your toot is lovely, i'm sure! 🤗

I'm really enjoying this. I love a good quirky !

Heehee, no probs... i only discovered the change v recently, as tbh, since joining Masto last year i've only rarely paid any attention to any Calckey Instances [they always seemed far too visually over-stimulating each time i had brief shallow looks]. Had i not still been looking, these past many weeks, for my "Goldilocks Instance", prolly i'd never have done the deep-dive evaluation of the past 24 hours, so would still not have realised the change.
