@fak3r Since @kensanata seems to have missed this one, I guess I'll respond on his behalf.Looking at your profile, I can see a lot of retweets. There is no official rule against crossposters on Trunk, but there is a "we connect people with people" rule. So, how often do you intend to log into Mastodon and interact with the people here?If it's fairly often, we can add you. But if not, you (and everyone else, to be honest) would be better off if you turned off the crossposter, and tried looking for a similar thing to Trunk, but for Twitter, if there is one.

@kensanata Yup, now they do show up!But only the accounts. No categories. And since categories are the whole point of Trunk, that's not ideal.

@kensanata What would you link to? Well, I'd imagine either the page with new people once it's created, or, you know, the user themselves.But yeah, no entries here yet. I tried refreshing it. No luck. Nor when adding a test account.Also, the feed name is "Trunk additions ($name)", so might want to make that prettier as well.

@kensanata Well ... at least when adding the feed to The Old Reader, it shows up as empty ...But I think that either way, you should have the list of all new folks available on the website as well, because not everyone uses RSS, and not all browsers open feeds properly by themselves.

@kensanata Hmm, that could work!Not sure. Depends on how you set it up, I guess?One site that does this well is FediBlock.org. It has a feed for subscribing to all categories, but also a way to subscribe to just individual ones of interest. So if needed, perhaps you could get in contact with its developers?

I removed some old accounts from #Trunk, reviewed a few more, and got one person to join ( @kensanata, we really need a feed of new people, preferably RSS-subscribable).Good start to the day. Time to make it even better with some jasmine #tea! 😋

@silmathoron @kensanata is the boss; turn to him if you have suggestions.For list ideas, you should first make sure you have a few other people also interested in being in a list. There is currently no sublist feature, and not sure if it is worth implementing. But if you get enough interest, perhaps.

Here's your regular reminder that there are actually several people here on Mastodon that love reading image descriptions. No, really! Those of you who write them are awesome! No other social media platform has quite so many descriptions of cute cats and dogs, and isn't that cool?(This, of course, doesn't mean that you should be mean to people who do not write them. Don't do that. Especially if the reason for that is a disability. That is a perfectly valid reason. The fact that people who write descriptions are awesome doesn't mean that those who don't aren't.)

@kensanata Stolen! 🙃 @ColinTheMathmo You've been added! Welcome to Trunk! 🐘 I added you to Juggling as well, as you asked in your second toot. But after briefly looking at your toots, it doesn't seem you posted about it recently. So if your interests change, please let us know. :)

@kensanata The victim of the spell has to do a wisdom saving throw. If they succeed, they remember they can just use the quit option to close the browser, and all tabs with it. If they fail, however, they have to close the tabs one by one, and are skipped for the next 3 turns.

@kensanata BTW, if you find that disturbing, you should consider yourself lucky you only had to read it once. On another community, me threatening to stab newbies' eyes out was a longstanding joke. At least this time I only politely offered!

Welcome to this cozy Dragon's Cave, @smokeandash !Just an FYI, this is @talon 's personal instance. We do allow strangers if they behave, but mostly it's uh ... a blindy instance. So keep that in mind when our local TL seems weird.(If you would ever like to fit in, we provide eye-stabbing services for free!)But yeah, you are more than welcome here. And if you ever need anything -- an user or instance (un)silenced or (un)suspended, a higher character limit, whatever -- just ask! I bite, but Talon doesn't.

@kensanata Thank you! I hope we'll be able to fit this in somewhere. Bashing copyright was not among the goals we thought of, but that's just because we don't have much of an imagination. And I'll see about the others, but I sure am tempted now!

We have to do a project this year, for our final exam. As a theme, our group chose the advertising and sale of #Music in the internet age. None of us are musicians, but we do care about supporting them (or well, at least I do), so I think we made a good choice.This won't be a big thing, mind you. It's just for school, not a published scientific paper or anything.Still, if you know any good resources, I'd be happy to check them out. Comparisons between sales on different services vs CDs? Surveys of customers? Articles detailing why Spotify is bad? All are welcome.And if not, I'd be very glad if you gave this a boost, too. Thank you!

Just noticed that the lists #Cats, #Forth and #Golf are currently completely empty, too. Anyone want to be added on those on #Trunk?With how many #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday and #MastoCats posters we have on here, that one really has no right to be empty ...

New categories are still being added to #Trunk . The two newest ones are #Netherlands and #Gemini. They are both still rather empty, so if anyone would like to be on those lists, let us know!

Oh, right! Almost forgot.If you have any questions, ask them, and I'll do my best.If you are curious how a particular emoji or symbol is read, send it, and I'll tel you. I can check with eSpeak, which is the default TTS engine for NVDA, as well as Microsoft's voices and a few others.And also: Thank you. Both for reading this far, and if it makes you change anything. 💙 6/5

3. "Unusual" SymbolsUnusual is in quotation marks because, with us coming from all around the world, of course not everyone will use the same letters, and they are all equally valid. Hell, Slovenian has 3: č, š and ž.There are also fancier characters, for when someone wants to look cooler by bending Unicode to their will.Just keep in mind that screen readers are not well-equipped to deal with those sorts of characters. It also depends on the TTS engine and language; for example, English eSpeak reads all Chinese letters as "Chinese letter", which is not ideal.More examples:ὴ =Letter 1 F 7 4ž =z hatchek, though many other TTS voices read it as just z, or not at all.𝚊 =Letter 1 6 8 AAnd so on.So, while it is not a must, if you could use less of such characters in your nickname when possible, and CW posts consisting only of those, that would be great, too!5/5
