[Halo]

do you plan to migrate posts and other stuff?

We'll see.
I'll at least try to make a tool to import accounts since most people were in favour of being able to keep their current stuff

Been meaning to ask but are most of the issues with the 500 errors and whatnot being caused by Pleroma just not scaling up very well?

pretty much.
To be fair to pleroma, I'm not an amazing server admin either, I'm sure (hopeful or cope ) there's lots of places it could be optimized on our instance.

performance and the inability to make the features I'd want are the main reason I'll be switching to our own backend/frontend sometime in the future

My requests to make for a better user experience:

1. Emoji reacts (prob already planned unless you want to kill the fun)
2. An option to view OPs only (by default this is the case for X/Soapbox)
3. An option to view the timeline of a specific instance that isn't our own. (also a feature that's available in Soapbox)
4. A "tree view" style when looking at threads, this cascading style of reading replies is easier to navigate and you are less likely to crash your browser in the case of hellthreads if you're only trying to look at a specific branch. For those that don't know what I'm talking about because this wonderful feature is disabled by default in pleroma, here's what tree view looks like:

5. Display a hovering reply to whatever a reply is replying to. Already exists in pleroma and soapbox.

This may be a dumb question do we need new accounts for this one? I tried login in but it keeps saying I have the wrong username and password.
It could also be that I forgot my password

I have like the same problem with a account recently made. Dunno if its on me.

none of you have an account on this.
you need to make a new one.
Not sure why you thought you'd have an account on that...

Because I entered the forum, read this thread and went to make one on that page. I'm not confusing it with Varis Hangout

 

[Halo]

I'm collecting questions for an FaQ so if you have any ask them now

Is varis social federated?

How can I support the site?

Can I delete my account?

Those are some of the top of my head

You should give it a way to recover your password or something, because I registered a few days ago (this time it sent me the email) but it tells me that my password is incorrect even though I am entering the one I used because it is automatically saved in my password manager ( and I had it copied). So I can't log in ＞﹏＜

Edit: Also some questions. Attached is an image, why does it look so cut off? There is a lot of space on the page and the videos appear cut off in the feed and only look full if I put the page at 70-80% zoom. My monitor is 1440x900.

The username is red_dewberry and and I thought I had made it this time because I was sent a activation email T_T

Could be retarded and 100% willing to admit it, but when I try to register it just says that it failed and to try again later.

you wait. spamming will do nothing. you have to activate your account. through an email. that won't be sent. cause the mail servers acting up.

I cri, waiting for the day I can press register and it registers

I tried to register, but didn't get an e-mail. Is the mail server still acting up? Had a similar problem signing up for this forum, IIRC, where I had to be manually approved using a different e-mail.
