First time I pushed myself since I recovered from pneumonia and a water in my left lung (mid to late 2021).
I used the closed roads being used by two race events, #EarthRun and #ASICS run. 😜
I think being with fellow runners made it easier. I didn't feel any pain and I rarely had to catch my breath. Though I was still slow as compared to before I got sick, and had a lot of walks than runs, this was still far better than whenever I ran 5k solo this year.
This account I'm using now is from the https://c.im instance or @youronlyone ^_^ I can also use my @youronlyone account (which is not Mastodon software); or my @youronlyone (think of “Instagram”, Pixelfed is for photos and images with more than 4 attachments; Mastodon is strictly 4 images only).
If you haven't been paying attention, It has been only barely 3 days since #Pebble closed its doors and many are moving to the #Fediverse and settling in over at https://pebble.social.
However, prior to that, when the announcement of the shutdown was first made, the first thing that happened was the creation and marketing of the hashtag #T2pub. The purpose of the hashtag was to make it easier to discover content from former #PebbleIs users, regardless of where in the fediverse you are located.
A few days later, the @t2pub was born. It is a fediverse #group. Anyone who is following the group is guaranteed to receive the latest T2pub group content shared by other users. As compared to the hashtag, it relies heavily on if the user was already discovered by an account's local instance.
Finally, pebble.social was born; and former Pebble users who migrated earlier to the Fediverse are moving to it.
Now, this is interesting because there is now a growing sub-community within the Fediverse network. Former #T2social users who primarily wish to interact with fellow former #T2 users; while, at the same time, keeping the lines open for interaction with the wider fediverse.
If we look at it from a #SciFi or #Fantasy or #ScienceFantasy perspective, if different star systems (for example Sol System) are the software, and the different planets (for example Planet Mars) are the instances; we've just witnessed migrants from the “Pebble Universe” after it collapsed.
These migrants found a planet of their own and called is Pebble.Social which is located in the Mastodon star system.
And those who landed on other planets are relocating to the Pebble.social Planet; however, as they are still settling in this new world and new universe, they are still primarily concerned on their own planet. Building it up. Setting up their communities.
@blobcat@youronlyone@t2pub This is what annoyed me with the original T2 Pebble expecting everyone to have a full fledged PC. I have Pixels, iDevices and a Pixelbook and tbh the official app is bad on the Pixel but thankfully with Megalodon and Ivory theming options I can do this without problems.
In the original pebble.is, I installed it as a PWA and works great that way. It's actually where websites are headed in the future, less consumption of resources (skills, time, money) since it's basically a mobile version of the website only, not a native app.
I'm not sure how it works with Apple devices, but for the #Firefish fediverse software, its PWA for Apple devices works fine. So, I understand Apple's Safari browser supports PWA.
If you haven't tried PWA yet, you can check https://phanpy.social and login using your existing Mastodon account. You can use Firefox or Chrome. After logging-in, click the menu of the browser, and you should see something like “Install”.
It will create an icon on your device. Close the browser, then tap on the icon. It will load the mobile version of the website as if it is a native app.
For [mainline] #Mastodon users who want to be able to follow the “Local” and/or “Federated” timeline(s) of a different instance without creating yet another account can use the #Phanpy frontend.
More info:
There are 3 different layouts. In my screenshots, I used the multi-column layout to demonstrate how I'm seeing the different instances' “Local” and “Federated” timelines.
In addition to the above, you can also see the following features:
Auto-translate
Highlights
Threads
CW
Click to refresh (or scroll to top to refresh) -- a setting
Dark mode
Following 5 hashtags in one column (similar to Mastodon's default frontend)
Hello, I'm Serge and I'm 🇨🇭. I currently live between Switzerland and Italy (yes, it's somewhat complicated...) and can communicate (and sometimes even think) in 🇮🇹, 🇫🇷, 🇬🇧 & 🇩🇪.
I'm a scientific and technical journalist and a cordial communicator. I used to be a biologist, and before that a zoo keeper, and to this day I've kept a strong interest in natural sciences.
#T2pub@T2pub So apparently Gabor started a subreddit thingie for Pebble people to join? Because we don't already have enough to figure out between Mastodon and BlueSky, and because I guess he and the others can't be bothered to just hang out with us on either of those? No, I'm not feeling terribly gracious about it because just... why? But anyway, for anyone who wants it... https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble_is/
Of course, don't forget to introduce yourselves and tag it with #introduction and hashtag your topic of interests. It's all about hashtags in the fediverse network.
If you were not able to add the @-tag to the group, editing the post won't push it. The best way is to use the “delete & edit” option (if it is available), or just delete and remake the post/reply.
For hashtags, editing works.
This is only for the #Mastodon software. I haven't tried it with other #Fediverse software (i.e. adding a group @-tag and if it will push to the group after editing).
