FEDIVERSE DECISION TIME

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@grahamperrin sad vmst.io isn’t even on the rejected list 🤣

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@vmstan NB the dxamples of what I'd like to boost today: <https://gist.github.com/grahamperrin/363b63f24e5ae9e65c1c0b7247702e72#examples-of-what-id-like-to-boost-today-sunday-25th-january-2026> … IMHO too far removed from the type of content that I would want to post to your instance.

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@Jorsh @FeloniousPunk @LibertyForward1 a quick question, are beige.party posts indexed for signed-in users?

For example <https://beige.party/search?q=opossum&type=statuses> finds nothing for me (signed out), should probably find:

<https://beige.party/@Jorsh/115944900504113633>

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@jerry thanks, I have my shortlist down to two instances.

I currently lean towards beige.party. because whenever I browse its local live feed alongside mas.to, the beige makes me feel better.

Would you like to suggest any other instance?

[jerry@infosec.exchange]

@grahamperrin beige seems like a fine instance.

[jorsh@beige.party]

@grahamperrin @FeloniousPunk @LibertyForward1

I have no idea, sorry.

[clf@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@grahamperrin I think we shouldn't go crazy with doing BSD only stuff. @stefano often posts other types of posts, and that shows that this instance is supposed to be more a hangout of BSD enthusiasts than a BSD forum.

Then again I don't know what you mean by things that don't belong in the cafe.

@grahamperrin Hachyderm's character limit is 2249 characters for me. I've mostly been able to fit my long toots in there, but if you need 2000+ characters you may need to try something else. Good luck finding a new instance. :)

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@clf @grahamperrin It's a Cafe. Nobody should only talk about BSDs. This would be boring. The world is much more than this.
All I ask for is not to transform it into a Fight Club.

[thedaemon@snac.9front.club]

Lots of options you have listed there. I don' think you need move though, but of course, that's up to you. I tried having more than 1 account and it was too annoying for me. I'm sure you'll find your "next home" soon :)

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@thedaemon I never mentioned moving.

[thedaemon@snac.9front.club]

Sorry, I should have reworded that entirely! What a goofball I am. I was going to offer up my snac instance, but after reading your list I don't think this tiny snac will be what you want at all! :)

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano thanks.

I'm pragmatic about levels of engagement here and elsewhere.

Looking at other instances' local live feeds, in isolation, was … erm … I'm not sure how to describe the overall experience, but it was worth it.
