New Add-ons

Uncertainty about Twitter's long-term health caused several new similar apps to be created or discovered: Mastodon has been around for a while but not in wide usage; that changed. POST is a work in progress but no longer has a waiting list, so it looks to be around for the medium haul at least. There may be others as well.

I suggest they get added to the "Also On" section of user profiles.

This thread would fit better in the group Recommended Site Improvements.

From the group description: "This is a group for LibraryThing staff to announce and discuss new features and other improvements with members. Unlike every other group, we discourage starting new topics, unless you've actually developed a new feature"

>1 Linkmeister: I just handled a request for this: unfortunately, because of the massive amount of servers that Mastodon has and the way our "Also On" links are structured, I can't just add one simple link to profiles for this. There would be dozens (or more?) of iterations to add.

Instead, I'd recommend just adding a link to your Mastodon profile in your "About me" settings. Hope this helps!

New feature request: Automatically add the word "darlin'" to every post pointing out that someone has posted in the wrong group. I find it totally charming. Will also accept "sugar".

Yes, i know, wrong group. Please correct me.

>5 MrAndrew: I believe that is "sugah" not "sugar" and "dahlin". But then, I was born in Massachusetts.
