What is the character limit for posts on the Vivaldi instance?

@ajlewis2 @leeloo @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi

Have you tried the latest release? It is surprising to hear this. Would love to work with you to figure out your problem.

@jon @Vivaldi

You're doing great things Jon, and the longer Mozilla takes to embrace the #Fediverse the better it is for #Vivaldi.

But there's some glaring misgivings here that are often raised by people. Half the #Fediverse isn't mastopub - you should really consider replacing that icon in the panel with the Fediverse Logo, or even the ActivityPub Logo instead of the one you've currently got in that sidebar - It's quite misleading, and people who prefer using the more full featured and capable Fediverse platforms such as Friendica, Mitra, Socialhome, GoToSocial, Takahe, The Pleroma and Misskey families of forks, smolweb Fediverse platforms like Bovine, SNAC, Tapir, and many more, ... These stalwart #Fedizens and #Privacy_conscious people shouldn't have to look at some exclusionary elephant logo that completely misrepresents and dismisses the fact that the masses of these people don't even use that platform.

These Fedizens most certainly should not feel forced into being pigeonholed into an association, in front of others, which implies that they use masto.

Here's an example of what our diverse world of #DeSoc's #Fediverse_Logo looks like - that elephant thingy really only offers an homage to one single platform, losing user market share more rapidly each day, in favor of a better and more complete user experience with superior networking facilities.

Wishing you and the team all the very best, and looking forward to seeing the #logo in that sidebar that more accurately represents the community at large, and is also much nicer looking

I hope you continue to shepherd the trailblazing innovation that Vivaldi has shared and introduced, and join now with the trending wave of sites replacing that tired old elephant graphic for either of the logos that more closely and accurately represents the unifying inclusivity and diversity indicative of the residents in our Fediverse.

@tallship @Vivaldi

Thank you for your kind words.

Just to be very clear. We believe it would be great for the #fediverse for Mozilla to launch their instance. We believe it would be good for us as well, as we want the Fediverse to grow and that is our number 1 priority.

With regards to our panel, it gives access to our Vivaldi Social Mastodon instance. If we were to offer some other server or link to some other specific instance, we would use that icon instead. Users are also able to add any instance as a Web panel.

@jon

I do have the latest and will give it a try later after my coffee does its magic! Thanks, Jon.

Okay. I tried running Mail and CPU went to 110% for a couple minutes with an account with very little mail on it. I set it back to no mail, the CPU did not go back to normal until stopped Vivaldi. On restart it is normal again. Here is what I have in About:

Vivaldi 6.6.3271.53 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)

Revision 9bc0253dc7c6d57292697b26e13e6579916e51bf

@ajlewis2 @leeloo @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi

Did you prefetch mails? I think the initial load can be a bit while messages are being fetched and indexed, but that should stop after a short while, depending on the size of your mail accounts. In my case it can take a while, with more than 1 million mails.

We continue to work on reducing the initial load, but it is mostly related to building the database for fast search in your email.

@jon @leeloo @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi

That was why I removed big accounts. I don't know what prefetching is. I'll look into that, but I'm sure I did not do it.

@ajlewis2 @leeloo @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi

OK, if you did not enable it, that is fine for now. That will just make it heavier as it then would fetch the full mails and index them and not just the headers.

How many mails are you fetching? What is the spec on your computer? Do you have an old disk maybe?

I am sure we can improve on the indexing. Just trying to understand what the issue is on your computer. Pretty sure it is just a question of time before it finishes the task. There should be progress information in the status bar giving an impression of how things are progressing as well. The initial phase can be a bit heavy, but it should slow down when the initial setup is done.

@jon

I'll get back on this later when I can run it and look at the status bar. Also get the info on how much mail.

I did turn prefetching off which put CPU down to around 100%--not much drop.

I have a pretty new disk.

CPU:
Info: quad core model: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 bits: 64 type: MT MCP smt: enabled

@ajlewis2

That is a powerful computer. I would wait until it is done. It will be a bit heavy to start with, but it should not take too long. Again, the progress bar should help there.

@jon @ajlewis2 @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi
An old disk would reduce the CPU load, as the CPU would spend more time waiting for the disk.

@leeloo @ajlewis2 @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi

True, that can be the case for sure.

@[email protected] @[email protected] that's a new one... Save your CPU! Buy spinning rust LOL

@jon

I have one email on the server. So, not big.

I got my thumbdrive for LinuxMint and started it up. I installed Vivaldi on that and tried Mail with that same mail account. No excess CPU use. Status showed a problem with the database and a disconnect from the mail account. I restarted Vivaldi and the mail ran like a champ.

If you want me to try anything else, I'll be happy to try. But I'm not all that needy of the Mail, so no need to solve this for me right now.

Your interest is really appreciated and the Vivaldi product with tiling has been a game changer for what I can do one of the things I do with my time.

@jon @ajlewis2 @leeloo @unchartedsandbox @Vivaldi just a regular case of a CEO giving direct tech support to users, practically the industry standard

@jon @Vivaldi Jon, I tried Vivaldi a year ago while researching if I could leave MS Outlook 2016 without too much trouble. Vivaldi seemed great at first, with its all-in-one PIM suite- calendar, email, contacts, tasks, etc., but its inability to import my Outlook or Android contacts (vCard collection) was a deal-breaker. Also, the tasks functionality was limited at the time. When I saw the Vivaldi Mastodon panel view, I was excited to place my own Mastodon.GameDev account there, but not possible

@jon @Vivaldi I eventually settled on Thunderbird 115+ and LibreOffice 7.5+

@jay @Vivaldi

Importing from Thunderbird should not be a problem, so that is easier to test right now.

You can add any Mastodon account as a Web panel. We just add ours by default.
