#reshare

Well, because it seems there is sadly some mass migration going on in the #diaspora* part of the greater #fediverse. I just wanted to mention that there is a very nice site where you can write down all your (public) appearances in the #fediverse and #beyond.

I just recently took a deeper look at it because i wanted to thank the person behind the site and give a humble little donation for the service... And had to discover that he is actually on the #fediverse too.

tl;dr: <https://wheretofind.me/> provides a convenient way to create some virtual business card containing links to your most active public homes and profiles on the internet (and if you want, all the other ones too).

For example, you can look me up at <https://wheretofind.me/@hackbyte> or you can look up the owner of this service @kit 😷💉💉💉❄️ also listed as <https://wheretofind.me/@kit>

( I hope he has no problem with me mentioning him here.)

Please #reshare or #boost accordingly .. as i know, there are people actually wandering off the #fediverse at all .. and it would be sad losing them completely. ;)

Drap and drop to and from Mark It Down!

Excellent WYSIWYG markdown editor

enter image description here

https://stackedit.io/

Features : can be synchronized on CouchDB so you can work collectively; comment are possible; no login necessary.

Useful for Diaspora posts you want to keep and improve for republication and for collective, wiki-like posts.


Super useful diaspora pages you've never seen : liked and commented

Liked
Pages you like (<3) can be used to show interest to others and also to keep as favorites for later. However, reading those liked pages in "My activity" is a problem because there are lots of other things there.

Solution : go to your liked page!

The address is https://your.pod/liked

Commented

To follow your conversations, the notification area is sparse, and the notification page does not provide more info.

Solution : go to your commented page!

The address is https://your.pod/commented


Keyboard shortcuts

jk

j- next message | k - previous message

also :

c - comment | l - like

(bugs) Search posts using multiple tags (or keywords)

This is suggested for testing :
Use a search engine!
search :
mywork photo (or other combinations of words) site:joindiaspora.com OR site:diasp.org OR site:nerdpol.ch OR site:diaspora-fr.org OR site:poddery.com OR site:wk3.org OR site:pod.geraspora.de OR site:socializer.cc (add other diaspora pods)

notes :
- some pods seem to show up much too often in search results (socializer.cc in particular);

- results vary greatly from one search engine to another;

- many posts do not show the searched words;

- some pages do not exist anymore.


Work in progress : comment here or contribute there, or both.
