@npub12hr…2f7a I’ve been having intermittent trouble mounting SD cards for the last six months (before Sequoia). I thought it was just a problem with my MBP 14”, but maybe not?

@npub1svs…p66u I’m noticing some unusual drop shadow/image boxes in Mona v5.8.2 today.

@npub1typ…c8hh It’s working now, inexplicably. 🤷‍♂️

@npub1typ…c8hh It appears the free-friends link doesn’t work. I get this paywall. 😔

@npub1typ…c8hh I just rediscovered Strava and also realized the same wholesome vibes. It’s so great to see friends getting fit and exploring the world; many of them share photos so is like a BeReal/Instagram alternative.
I don’t see many people sharing non-workout posts, but I’m eager to use them.

@npub1svs…p66u That’s not how I read it. I agree with TymeForChange. I find the current wording confusing and had to search for docs explaining how this feature works, which is how I find the gh issue.

@npub1svs…p66u The UI for setting list options should probably say “Show replies of…” or “Show replies from…” instead of what you have now, based on how the functionality works. See discussion at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/25688#discussioncomment-6347657
