@strypey the post *count* on their profiles should still be accurate, so that’s what I use to judge if I should click to see their full profile or if I have all their posts already.

@strypey yeah if you don’t include it, it only goes through users your instance is aware of, i.e. just users anyone on your instance already follows or has boosted before.

Also, that is exactly why that issue I linked exists, and has for years. Idk why they’re not fixing it, it’s easily the most annoying part of Mastodon for me personally 🙄

@strypey I just realized you’re on another instance. Another possibility is your instance just isn’t familiar with ours. When you search are you including the social.privacytools.io part of the username? Also not pulling in older posts is somewhat expected behavior, but posts from after you follow a user should work fine: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/34

@strypey @BurungHantu we currently use masto.host for this instance so I can’t really do much. We are going to migrate to our own servers today so we’ll see if that helps (it’ll have more resources most likely) and if it doesn’t, I should at least be able to investigate and fix it.

@N we’re actually moving to our own servers lol we’re currently on masto.host

Attention everyone! The social.privacytools.io instance is going to go offline tomorrow around 2 PM Central Time as we migrate servers. Hopefully the downtime won’t last too long 😄

@eleix they added my other instance that has like 4 users, pretty sure it's arbitrary lol

@eleix uh I just had to do this on my instance and I didn't need to make any changes, but I did need to reach out to Keybase to get added to their site.

@24TXT @Rediikid I think he means for sites, Quad9 is not a DNS host.

@glitcher32 can you make a website? GitHub Pages? Or do you need like WordPress hosting or something?

@DwellerOfNowhere yeah I have two servers in Europe for all my services.

@glitcher32 you're using Weebly and Cloudflare? 😦

@DwellerOfNowhere what kind of services are you thinking about? I host all sorts of stuff: Mastodon, GitLab, Discourse, DokuWiki, Resilio Sync, Email, some websites... etc 😄

@jenn iMessage is fine security-wise (end-to-end encryption), at least much better than SMS or Facebook Messenger. I believe Signal on Android supports SMS as well so maybe you could convince some people to switch by making it their default SMS app.

Otherwise, just be careful what you say over SMS! There’s no convincing some people lol

@Rediikid are you familiar with ElementaryOS? Very solid choice for Linux beginners, based on Ubuntu: https://elementary.io

@Rediikid you probably shouldn’t. Why do you use them?
