While I know that work is being done on linking user databases in such a way that a single instance can offer multiple interfaces for the same account, generally speaking, you have to have accounts on multiple servers to use multiple services.

Flipping that around however, having multiple accounts like that is a common and accepted practice on here, and it's easy to link them together in your bio. Being able to easily split your presence between multiple accounts for multiple kinds of content feeds is one of the nice features of the Fediverse. So there's no issue with just making accounts on two different servers.

@dansup is the algorithm any good?

[brotherjeffre@mastodon.social]

@dansup Thanks, I seem to be awaiting confirmation

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@dansup so how does its algo work?

[seb@sfba.social]

@dansup For some reason the iOS app doesn’t have sound on my iPhone.

[d4v@mastodon.social]

@dansup tried to signup, it's been a day and still did not get any email and I can't log-in. When trying to register again, it says username is already taken. Wtf?

[nickht@mastodon.social]

@dansup this will be brilliant

[bogdanmarius_ursan@mastodon.social]

@dansup Sounds like nice project I hope people find it useful

[benny@kirche.social]

@nf3xn @dansup why algo? Did they say they use one?

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@benny @nf3xn @dansup Of course they do.

(Hint: SELECT… ORDER BY date_posted; uses an algorithm. Even without ORDER BY it uses an algorithm because database page layout is determined by an algorithm.)

[benny@kirche.social]

@nik @nf3xn @dansup you are right, but I doubt this is what was meant

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@benny @nf3xn @dansup I think "it displays newest posts first" would be a valid answer to the question and one of the answers a person asking it can expect.

@dansup AWOSMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@nik @benny @dansup That you thought injecting this useless piece of mansplaining was useful or relevant.

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@nf3xn @benny Have you considered not using social media, or a comnunication platform in general, if you can't stand people exchanging views, knowledge or information?

[amrabdelkhalek@mastodon.social]

@dansup I have a problem signing up. It doesn't send the verification email.

[zeruch@mastodon.social]

@dansup when I try to sign up it has a non-changeable email address of [email protected] which seems...odd, for a onboarding workflow.

[assal_horizontology@woof.group]

@dansup videos still don’t play with sound when I have my phone ringer turned off; any plans to fix this?

[dansup@mastodon.social]

@assal_horizontology Yup, its fixed in thext version
