@snowe It's got its quirks. For example, if I am replying to someone who's not on programming.dev then I have to make sure to tag @programming (or another account on the instance) in order for my post to still federate to your server, otherwise only the person I'm replying to would see my reply and it wouldn't show in comments.
I did discover that adding the tag as a trailing reply to a missing comment thread will cause the entire reply chain to federate, so that's neat.
@snowe Typing the character. With GBoard it's switch to numbers+symbols then press and hold a number (in this case 1) to access fractions and superscripts.
Hi @rikudou, your bot incorrectly flags for Mastodon users. I have to tag the community in my post, or it won't federate. And Mastodon tags seem to look like URLs to the bot.
@Zikeji It's possible for TLDs to have A records, and for a while there were a few that did. But ICANN forbids top level A records, and I wouldn't be surprised if they forbid top level MX records as well.
Anyway, you would literally enter the address as "email@com." including the trailing dot, which represents the DNS root that contains all the TLDs. You can also think of the trailing dot as an indicator of a FQDN (instead of a hostname within your local search domain).
@varsock yep! Turns out I could just follow @programming and it boosts every post and comment onto my timeline.
Though my instance doesn't support markdown, so I don't get to see any formatting unless I look at the original thread (maybe @Tiwy57 will upgrade us from Mastodon to Glitch-soc someday so we can have that?)
