@prologic and by “y’all” you meant eapl, right? I noticed that too, and LOLed IRL. 🤣

Is this “flat UI” madness ever going to end? I’m beginning to lose hope.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Of course, those shitheads. 🤣 (Doesn’t really make a difference in practice, luckily. There aren’t that many of them.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah improvements should roll out much more quickly than I can by hand 🤣

I just think it’s hilarious that y’all say you don’t use Yarn / twtxt.net in one breath, but in the same you say you frequently visited the frontpage of twtxt.net to catch up on stuff 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Okay, so no “fire hose” 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Speaking of which, can we make any obvious (low hanging fruit) improvements here? 🤔

@prologic Thanks mate, looking forward to the next weekend. :-) It appears I’m just in time with this tiny usability improvement: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/search/pulls/22

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you. :-( Flight tickets are way too cheap. I’m also astonished, that night flying restrictions don’t apply for politicians. Of course.

@prologic I believe that only a search box on the front page is better. Just like it is now. I still haven’t got used to the advanced options, but that’s an entirely different story.

@bender Glad you do. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oof ouch! 😱

@prologic Yeah, they’re approaching three (!) parallel runways, directly above me. 😞 (The early days of Covid were super quiet and peaceful.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Live in a flight path? 🤔

Of all the retro OSes that I’ve got running, SuSE 6.4 is clearly the most powerful one. It comes with a ton of software and development tools. Windows 2000, which was released around the same time, is basically “empty” in comparison.

But of course, none of that mattered. No popular software, no adoption. 😅 And yes, things like configuring the X server were stupid hard back then.

Damn those fucking planes and their noise.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Is self hosting an instance (Yarn or Mastodon) just too hard for most? 🤔 I know standing up ‘as to don is a biatch for sure 🤣

Haha 🤣 No worries! Maune that use-case can move to the search engine / crawler? 🤔

How do we all feel about a “fire hose” front page on https://search.twtxt.net/ ? 🤔

@prologic
That’s awesome!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉

@adi@twtxt.net I kinda bounced off learning go properly a few years back. This little toy would be a good thing to try again on, now that you mention it. Maybe.

Well, I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.

Nowadays I barely twt from my PHP instance. I got to say that is more “convenient” reading from twtxt.net that on my instance.

My current feeling is that is too niche to find something interesting, being about personal growth, professional or even entertaining. There is not enough people and/or interesting topics to be engaged on. The network effect of people making content is missing IMO. Although I have a similar feeling of any other microblogging, it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.
Sadly in this ecosystem I’ve found no one twting on Spanish, and having conversations in English is not so easy to me.

And about local communities, I tried to invite friends and colleagues, but no one created their instance or joined to Yarn. Even the local Mastodon instance has 3 members (myself included), so I think creating a hipster microblogging is not as easy as looked at the start.

It’s again a decision between the involved time and the ‘reward’ at the end. If we are not getting good emotions or something bigger that ourselves, feels like ‘not worthy’ to belong.
