I really want to try @nprofile…60xv but the sheer number of options makes it a bit of a cumbersome first setup, even if the outcome is potentially awesome and has lots of customisation. Does anyone know of some kind of decent default setup options file I can use and then tweak as I go?

@nprofile…32kp Think I know the answer to this, but this doesn't count, right?

@npub19lt…qfjk Not sure if you’re aware and if this is intentional but the code blocks on your site vary in font size when viewed on mobile. Haven’t checked desktop. Possibly percentage or em related?

Any people that are interested in the #oldweb that I should follow on Mastodon?

@npub19lt…qfjk I think there’s a filter to remove that but might be wrong. Will take a look in a bit.

Finally got my personal site to a point where I'm happy to share it. It's a bit thin on content but I'll be adding to it over time.

Does anyone know of a plugin that will auto-import Mastodon toots to WordPress and let me choose a post type and category/term to import them into?
I'm looking to import my Mastodon post history at first, then update periodically with anything new.
I've tried this, https://github.com/janboddez/import-from-mastodon but it only seems to do the first toot.
Also tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/tootpress/ but it adds it to a page only, oddly.
All RSS feed importers I've tried have filled my WP Admin with errors and warnings.

@npub1rky…0xq2 Thanks. Syncing my scroll position seems to work but the dot next to the Mentions and Notifications doesn’t reflect each device - if I've viewed them on iOS, when I open the Mac app, there's still a dot.

@npub198t…hasj I had this recently. The guy was incredibly rude. I have a ‘no sales people’ sticker and politely pointed it out. Was a total jerk. Closed the door on him.

@npub1rky…0xq2 I am and they’re all green - no obvious issues

So @npub1rky…0xq2 NEVER, and has never, synced across devices for me. If I look at my recent notifications (bell icon) on my Mac, the dot underneath goes away. Open my phone sometime later, dot is still there even though I haven't gotten any more notifications.

I'm slowly building a personal website.
I've managed to find and import some old blogs that I had from 2008/2009 and my goodness is it a mess of poor and cringy writing. Question is, do I keep it public, or do I archive it to private?
I know that cringy things are usually a sign that we've grown as people but…
Also imported all my Tweets and am looking to do the same for my Toots.

@npub19lt…qfjk if the API return json can you use wp_remote_post()?

@npub19lt…qfjk Is this stored in the db before it’s sent to WordPress.com? Or is it sent via an API to them? If so, it may be possible to retrieve it through the same method?

Curious to know if any of you are using a wrist rest for your keyboard. Never considered it before but it's just occurred to be that it might be a good thing to have.
