The !gnusocial "Try" page still links to the now-closed Vinilox instance. https://gnu.io/social/try/servers.html ... that should be updated. -

@lnxw48a1 Pretty much why I always point to fediverse.org and social.guhnoo.org -

@lnxw48a1 I've seen numerous attempts at updating and improving that website. But all were arrogantly ignored by those who officially maintain it. -

@archaeme @lnxw48a1 I am going to try to set up that software for postActiv.com and list all the pA instances there. The Fediverse.org backend is open sourced so its just a matter of finding time between health issues and all the other stuff I have going on -

@lnxw48a1 arrogantly and characteristically I should say. If someone's communication skills are THAT bad they shouldn't be involved in developing or maintaining social media/network platforms. -

@lnxw48a1 what we need is an alternative homepage maintained by the community- who actually develop and use the platform. Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)] likes this. -

@lohang @lnxw48a1 I'd be willing to offer hosting to something like this if someone wants to run with this idea. Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)] likes this.Lohan G on GNUSocial/ostatus repeated this. -

@maiyannah @lnxw48a1 OR people who still hang on to the official site and prevent it from being updated should step down and let those who want to improve it. -

Here's a typical example of how things are done on the official site :

The official site shines at its very best when it asks "What is GNU social?" and ends up not answering it at all, confusing the reader with all sorts of information about the history of several projects :-D
One of the most unfriendly "about pages" ever:

@maiyannah @lohang wiki.gnusocial.de has some nice information collected by @vinzv but mostly it's in German at the moment. The wiki has a multilingual setup though. Erkan had some info in his wiki as well, but he is involved in other projects now, so I suspect those being outdated as well.

@lohang And I thought my blurb I copied from the Readme was probably not direct enough for postActiv...
Hmm, I should fix mine. I can complain about gnuios and I'd agree, but what I can actually change is my own.Lohan G on GNUSocial/ostatus likes this. -

@mmn I can only pass the messages through @robmyers on Twitter. Direct communication is not possible :-P -

@tobias @lohang @maiyanna I was copying the info from Erkan's wiki onto @bobjonkman's wiki when bobj's database crashed. If he's still willing, I should get back on that task. Lohan G on GNUSocial/ostatus likes this. -

@lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net I'm happy to have you continue copying @erkanyilmaz@oracle.skilledtests.com's wiki to http://sobac.com/wiki Sadly, I needed to restore the DB to a point before you started copying, so all the work you've done needs to be redone... -

Sadly, the spammers were overrunning the wiki, so I've had to close self-registration. Anyone who wants a login on http://sobac.com/wiki please let me know...
