Most of my contacts have a gmail account.and I don't have any issue. I used to go through my DNS provider's SMTP back when I was hosting at home specially for Microsoft but not anymore.

Thanks for the answer

I don't know if it's because I'm from Europe or something else but I've been hosting my emails for over 10 years and never really had issues like those discribed in the article.

The only issues I had was when I had to send a lot of emails in a shirt time (invites for a wedding, and it was on a newly created dedicated domain, don't know if that made it worse).

Also when I was hosting at home, but since I moved to a dedicated server everything has been fine.

That being said I agree that we are being victims of a disgusting racket and that something should be done to make sure everyone is doing their job so that we leave a fair chance to competition. There are rules to regulate other things, I don't see why it shouldn't be the case for email and interoperability in general.

Very interesting article and analysis, it's a shame we reached this state though...

I saw that happen and first told myself, "well people could at least give the guy and rpi the benefit of the doubt, at least they are being open about it". After all I'm sure we do need surveillance cops and all (I guess?). Then I saw the childish and kind of disrespectful answers from rpi to some people just nicely voicing their concern and thought "maybe the guy deserved the benefit of the doubt but rpi surely doesn't"

It would have been nice to have a bit more information:

• does it have a frontend?
• If so what does it look like?
• What does "somewhat compatible with mastodon" mean? Which features are working?

I don't think so but maybe you should get confirmation from the Devs. I don't know if you're in the same case than me but I made a script to workaround this federation issue. Maybe it could be useful to you. I explained it in a little blog post

You need to at least search for remote communities from your instance to see their content appear. Keep in mind it's not retroactive though (I think), you'll see content from the moment you made the search.

Take a look at rofimoji. You get an emoji selector popup and inputs it in your current app.

It looks like you're on android, the applications lemmur and jerboa have that feature by default, although having it in the web app would be nice indeed.

Really cool, thank you.

~~I have a small issue with some dark themes, but anyway I stuck with vapowave-dark even so :)~~

I love darkspace.

Well, I don't know if that's really sad, I think people should have a minimum of knowledge to host online services. Doing it while learning system administration from scratch and hoping it will be easy is kind of naive.

I did not read the docs but if it's not the case maybe some basic knowledge should be listed as requirement along with some links to tutorials?

I do exactly the same that way I always get new content as I check in a few times a day. I have trouble understanding the trending and active sorting methods.
