It can take a while before Todon.nl is up-to-date with the rest of the network. Please be patient.

🚨 ℹ️ : As you can see, we are back online. The reason we were offline was because of a DDoS attack.

According our server provider this was a very professional large scale attack. We are guessing this came from the far-right, but we don't have any proof of course. We are thinking about a long term solution.

ℹ️ We have now two new code modifications on Todon.nl:

* I increased the character limit of the media descriptions to 1111 (same as toots). Please let me know if this works correctly. AFAIK we are the only instance that increased it. So that's also a disclaimer: if it breaks things, it will be reverted.

* I increased the number of search results (per category) from 5 to 11.

ℹ️⚖️ I silenced Librem.one.

The reason is that there already a lot of alt-right people on there, cause there is no real moderation.

Why not suspend Librem.one?

Cause there are probably also many people who still think Purism is trustworthy. I don't want to cut off those people from Todon.nl. So if you see a lost soul on Libre.one please tell them about the real face of Purism/Librem.one.

Alt-right/nazi/fash scum can be be reported for suspension of course

Todon.nl is now running Mastodon 2.9.0 release candidate 1! :todon: 🎉

🆕 The most important new feature is the single column mode for the desktop! This is the default for new users and can be toggled in your preferences (See 'Enable advanced web interface' at https://todon.nl/settings/preferences/appearance).

See for the complete change log MS Github: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.0rc1

P.S. Because this is a release candidate (and a change in how translations are made), not every new feature is translated yet.

Last night again extremely high queues, blocking for a few hours outbound federation.

In the meantime the first release candidate of Mastodon 2.9 has been released that should fix the outbound federation problem. I will install it today. So be prepared for a short outage, it's for a good cause.

ℹ️ 🎉 We are now running :mastodon: version 2.7.0!!!

See this blog post by @Gargron with the new features.

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/01/mastodon-2.7/

I enabled our profile/user directory again, but if at the end of this week there are still less than 5 users opted-in (excl. our bots), I'm going to turn it off again. A profile/user directory is useless when almost no users opt-in.

¡Hola a las nuevas usuarias de todon.nl! Bienvenidas a bordo, ¡es un honor!

* Antes de empezar pedimos que editen su perfil, creen una biografía y suban un avatar.

* ¡Es hora de su primer toot! Pueden usar el hashtag #introduction para presentarse.

* Probablemente otras usuarias les sigan cuando vean su bio e introducción. O buscarlas en las secciones federada y local, también en https://communitywiki.org/trunk/. También pueden curiosear la lista de seguidoras de otras personas.

¡Disfruten!

ℹ️ :todon: No stressful error pages anymore on todon.nl.

ℹ️ :todon: is now running on :mastodon: version 2.4.3! 🎉

🆕 For end-users (like you) there is one important and great new feature; #filters! 🎉🎉 🎉

Forget those geeky regexp filters in your column settings, and jump directly to our brand new filter feature located at https://todon.nl/filters. We also added this to your 'Getting started' column for easy access (Todon.nl only!). We also added some examples to this toot. 🎉

🔗 See https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.4.3 for the complete release notes.

:mastodon: #tip!

See this screen recording about how you can filter the local and federated timeline on #language.

When the boxes are checked the timelines are not filtered. Check the #languages you want to see in the timelines (after this you won't see the unchecked languages in the timelines).

Language detection is not perfect. If you write your toots always in the same language and you want to make sure they are always tagged with that language, you can set your default 'posting language'

👋 Hello new Todon.nl users! Great to have you on board. It's an honor. 🙇

✅ Before you begin we advise you to edit your profile, create a bio and upload an avatar.

✅ Than it's time for your first toot! Use the hashtag #introduction to introduce yourself.

✅ Now follow some users, some will probably follow you back when they like your introduction and bio. You find users on the local and (especially) the federated timeline. Also take a peek in the follower lists of people you follow.

Enjoy!
