Did you know you can install Fediverse servers' websites as apps on your phone? These "web apps" let you have the most fully-featured versions of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed etc as apps on your home screen, including notifications, full screen interfaces etc.
It's very easy to install web apps on Android and iPhone/iPad, full instructions in this guide:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
Most web apps have more features than app store apps, due to restrictions in app store rules.

p.s. If you're wondering why you don't hear more about web apps, it's because Apple and Google hate them. Web apps totally bypass Apple and Google app stores.
Apple and Google enjoy controlling and taxing apps, but they have no control over web apps and don't get any money from them.
Apple even tried to stop web apps completely, luckily they had to back off: https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apple-backs-off-killing-web-apps
Web apps are a way of getting apps directly from the people who make them, without big tech getting in the way.

@jan same as last time: when I access the URL I briefly see the Sharkey logo but the page then is blank 😢
then I had the brilliant idea of adding /login/ to the URL and I see the instance but I cannot log in.
In the YunoHost logs I see that there should be an admin user called « sharkey » although that doesn’t work.
I need to manually create the admin / first user and password in Terminal I think 🥲
Everyone is still asleep in the house so I need to wait a little bit. Thanks for the encouragement though 🙏

Chiclet!
Even my contact cleaner is vintage.

Incredibly, at least one PCjr actually worked right off. I bought a bunch of PCjr stuff from someone ages ago, three computers and a bunch of random other junk from the big Computer Reset sale. I'm cleaning out my junk room and just reached the PCjr pile, or one of them.
First keyboard didn't work, and the computer made a frantic arrhythmic beeping until I swapped in another...this one a chiclet.
Everything's coming up Milhouse.
