I just wrote a huge entry about the Fediverse here. It is a guide with all sorts of tips and explanations, and links to many useful pages. Please feel free to share it with anyone who may be interested in joining. Note, though, that I am not the type to care if you're on a mainstream platform or not. Thi sis just meant as a guide for those who may need it, not as a way of bashing those who use non-Fediverse platforms. As a side note, Dreamwidth is one of my favourite sites on the Internet, precisely because of its wonderful accessibility.

If you would rather read it on Reddit, here is the same post there.

Anyone know the command in #Tweesecake on #Windows to reveal the GUI? I can use my Braille display for the Windows key, but it's a bit bulky.
Someone made a thing to automatically back up your #TweeseCake settings a while back. I have no idea who or where to find it, can someone help?
maybe it's just me and I'm certainly not the first, but aren't these key combinations the same?
View info on your instance: control+win+alt+i
View a timeline for an instance: alt+win+control+i
and if there is another shortcut for the second function, what would it be? #tweesecake
maybe one day I can restart #Tweesecake and not have to redo my intire config. seriously, this is getting old.
Why the fuck do I even bother with #Tweesecake anymore. It would seem my account has been deleted from their servers or something else is going on. I've tried to make a new account and that information is also invalid. Seriously. I'm glad this thing is not payed yet. Get your shit together guys.
I wish #TweeseCake supported lists...
I open my windows 11 VM on Mac after a long time of not doing so, and #TweeseCake picks up all the telegram messages it needs to. Always makes a grand old noise indeed.
Does anyone use the RSS feeds option in #Tweesecake? I have not gotten it to work, despite putting in the addresses of several RSS feeds. My buffer shows 0 of 0 items.
Why the meow are all #tweesecake posts and messages all showing timestamps of awhile ago? @app
Well, can't you tell it's Tuesday night again...
Soon as I came off teamtalk, I dropped my phone and then banged my hand on the table trying to pick it up.
Now tech throwing one mother of a tantrum...my screenreader crashes every time I try to delete something from my feeds on #Tweesecake. And also just tried to edit this post. Ended up instead opening some weird thing in Xplorer, then shutting down my computer...
Oh well...roll on 9:30PM when @daygar gets home.
#tweesecake corrupted my database yet again. When will this stop. I am sick of having to reconfigure the application every few weeks. I am really close to finding a new client.
now this is odd. I've tried two clients on my computer, and neither will pull toots from this server. But, clearly it's working if I'm on here posting. What gives? #Tweesecake #TWBlue hear-me.social
Wow, I've just now realised the Autoread function in #TweeseCake.
Oh gosh, I'm kinda pissed right now. Of course, #TweeseCake decided to nuke the config for both my Mastodon accounts again, means I've completely lost my position in the timelines, and can't even go down to the last point I stopped because it doesn't fetch that much of old posts. We need the fucking rewrite or finally a better client.
Blocked tweesecake.social today as a domain...they were trolling Eugen earlier...
admin on that site's got no profile picture...
May be a dumb reason to block them but I've had enough of replyguys and also the blacklist system of the fediverse where everyone is allowed in...allows everyone in that you don't manually put on a blacklist.
Do you even know who you are letting in!?
Perhaps I'm wrong and TweeseCake is gonna be the next Google...
Does anyone know if #TWBlue is any better than #Tweesecake about constantly reading the current toot fresh *every* *time* a toot comes in? And/or if TWBlue's gotten any better about polls?
Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app), since their main page is barely accessible with a screen readr. However, I noticed many accessibility issues there as well, and they will take quite awhile to be resolve. I have, therefore, chosen to switch to the Blob.cat instance of Akkoma, though I do not intend to delete my Friendica account.
I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, with Classical being my favourite, while in popular (listen to rarely), I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's, and some acoustic recordings. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.
Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.
