§ Instance News

• We’ve set up a new fork for the instance, derived from GlitchSoc, at ‹ https://github.com/kibicat/mastodon ›. For now, the name of the fork (subject to change) is “Kibicat Mastodon”. We haven’t committed much code yet, but there has been a great deal of discussion about goals and direction via the GitHub Discussions pane.
Kibicat Mastodon is not presently looking for individual outside contributors, but we ⁜are⁜ interested in working with other communities / instances to meet mutual goals. Contact us (by which I mean me) if you’re interested in collaborating with us!

• A bunch of new cat‐ and pokémon‐themed emoji have been added to the instance! Use them to your heart’s content .

• The server was upgraded for the first time without any issue 🎉!

• It is not feasible for me to personally vet every instance that GlitchCat federates with, but I have begun doing so for the larger instances and applied mutes or blocks as appropriate. I’m hoping to push some changes to the fork soon which will make future bookkeeping simpler in this respect.

§ From Our Members

• I published another episode of my pokémon fanfiction, can you believe it?! You can read it from the beginning here: ‹ https://archiveofourown.org/series/2377408 ›.

[Accomplish something cool? Tell me about it and I’ll be happy to give it a feature!]

i don't mean like soundtrack cues i mean like the sproingy “laugh here” type

how to put musical cues in written fiction

what even is the point of having queer characters if you don’t get to pit their queernesses against one another in a moment of heightened tension and drama

i think cis people would be absolutely terrified to publish this dialogue but i don’t give a fuck

i think this next episode of my pokémon fanfic definitely falls in the category of “shit i can only get away with because i’m trans”

you’re allowed to be angry at people using the wrong word for a given situation but it’s a little silly to be angry for misspelling a word when the spelling they use is more accurate, consistent, and sensible

it’s not “leafs” it’s “leaves”

it ought to be “wreathes”

wait but why aren’t plurals of ‐th spelled with an E that’s bullshit

there’s like. the galarian slowking mind goop?? they can do better than that.

not enough body horror in pokémon

why is my wrist being a bother

@KitRedgrave heck you could throw together a command line interactive script that prompts you for a URL, comment, and related tags and pops out an XML file with a hotlink and appropriate metadata in a couple hours

add an index page of some sort and bam! you have something you can browse locally or publish to the web
