To make a very long story short, I am considering entering the field of accessibility. More specifically, website testing. For those interested, I wrote about it here. If you can offer any suggestions, recommendations, etc. either here or there, please do so. I would love to hear from you!

The long story, for those who are interested in my background in technology and how I came to this decision, can be found here. My blind peers, in particular, may enjoy this, though it may also take you on a trip down memory lane.

Is there a way for me to filter out certain posts, such as vegan, politics, non-English, etc? I really have no interest in them, and in the last case, I can't understand them, and they're clogging up my timeline.

Hmm... Maybe you need to precise the instance name : @testfediverse@jlai
Either that or you need to intialise federation btw this community and your Mastodon instance.

@pseudo

Friendica and mastodon seem to shorten the @ after it's posted, as I do specify the full path to jlai.lu.

You were right about needing to link the instances first! After I searched this community and followed it from mastodon, my comment went through. :D



can someone tell me how to change my profile pic on friendica.world? maybe drop a url for me


(Update. I can't hit return to go down a line and add tags, links, etc. in TWBlue, either! It looks like I'll strictly use them for reading favourites.)
TweeseCake and TWBlue have many things in common. The one thing that TWBlue lacks is the ability to edit my posts. This is why I can't use it as my permanent client. Does anyone know if they intend to resolve this issue in the future? It also doesn't have the conversation thread option, but I'm not quite sure how that works. Seriously, though, why wouldn't such a basic thing as editing one's own posts not be included in a client that is supposed to be accessible to the blind? I am not sure I can edit my profile here, either, which I can do on TweeseCake. But I can't view my favourites there! They keep disappearing!

My favourites list just disappeared from TweeseCake. I was viewing it, then it stopped reading them and said "list" with numbers (6 of 210) as an example. Now, the list is completely empty! How do I view them on Friendica, or is there a way that I can get them back in TweeseCake?

It just did it again! It appeared, and as soon as I started going down the list, it said numbers, and then everything was gone.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I found a work-around by using TwBlue. It consistantly shows my favourites. However, it does not allow me to edit my posts, which is why I don't use it normally. If they changed that, I could easily use it as my permanent client. Both it and TweeseCake seem to share many features, other than this all-important one.

Thank goodness, I can even use Accessible Youtube Downloader to do this quickly, or I would have to search the Youtube site itself, which, like Facebook and Gmail, is now a mess! But Youtube started their rubbish in 2017, when they destroyed the m.youtube.com site. As with all of the others, the mobile site simply worked and made the whole experience enjoyable, until the sighted idiots decided that everyone must view their website the same way and took away something that was simple, clean, and most of all, accessible!



I own a Brother HL-L2300D. I bought it for simplicity and ease of use. I am totally blind and don't need or want anything complicated. I just want to plug in my printer and print a document. I haven't yet had the chance to use it, but I've heard good reviews about it.

If I boost a post and then edit it to add my own comment, will it show in my boosted post? Most of the time, I boost things because I agree with them, find them interesting, etc. But sometimes, I disagree and would like to add my comments to it, rather than just post it without saying anything. At other times, I might have insight on a given topic, or I agree whole-heartedly with it and want to explain why. I often did this on Facebook. There is an option to edit my boosted post, but I'm not sure if it works.

I've been seeing a lot about lists, ordering timelines, etc. But this is all from the perspective of Mastodon. Does Friendica have such features? If so, can they be accessed via Tweesecake? I know there are friends and circles, etc. I never really researched it. But it would be great, for example, to put all of the posts from Caturday in a list, so I don't miss them. I might also add those who post a lot, in general, to a list, so that I can still follow them and also see posts from other people or pages.

I think it would be best for me to plant a container garden, since it would be easier to manage, particular not being able to see it. Some of gardening is visual, whereas some can simply be done by touch. But for those who want something a bit more traditional, this does sound interesting.

@Nervensäge 💐 Yes. But you're also viewing it from a sighted perspective. I am totally blind. Perhaps, there are other blind gardeners here who could prove me wrong and who have beautiful gardens. I don't know. But it would seem that containers make more sense and are easier to manage.






Blocking


Hmm how can I block an account so I don't see their posts in the local and global timelines anymore?

Some people post stuff that I don't agree with, but as long as it's not against the server rules (ahh, I still need to write those down...) I won't delete the account from the server.

I do not understand, can you explain further, eg links?

@Openvibe

Hello there!

I don't know if it is something that falls under the umbrella of what you want your app to accomplish, but:

Have y'all heard of Mangrove Reviews?

If so, is this something you would consider building support for in your app?

They are on the Fediverse: @Open Reviews Association





As is the tradition, here’s an introduction.
First off, this is not my main home in the Fediverse. My official residence is missingbrighton@mstdn.social. I am here as well mainly to get over the 500 character restriction that sometimes can be limiting.
But who knows, it all may expand beyond that.

I generally post photos out of the Fediverse, using Vero. But I do post some that are not suited to that location. Those will generally be on my main Fediverse account, but not exclusively.

I fill my days with music. Baroque and European Power Metal. Not such a strange combination as you may think.

I am big into crime fiction and I do like it if it is set in Cold War times.
