My luck with Fediverse software...
…is terrible, really.
#Loops I've commented on before, last time I thought we were a step closer, I was able to record and upload a video with the app, if'n I still couldn't upload a video that I'd recorded on my phone, but that was short lived. Like trying to upload a pre-recorded video, it quits as soon as I get to the description page on cellular. On WiFi, I get about 45% of compression before it quits, and if'n I look closely, I can catch a standard system error message about the app quitting frequently before it clears itself (its not supposed to do that I don't think). I love Loops, but its kinda useless to me obviously.
#holos is my newest thing, and I figured I'd be telling y'all about how great it is, but I'm not sure it fits my life. For those that haven't heard of this, its a really neat idea, your entire instance is on your phone, it uses a relay to connect to the Fediverse as you can't maintain a fixed connection to the internet on your phone. I follow this and a few other accounts, and its great, it refreshes incredibly fast, that's great... And I realized last night that it doesn't work the other way, I made two posts yesterday, and yet they don't show up here, even if'n I go to the account here, so there's something wrong with the Federation.
Sure, I wasn't sure if Holos fit into my life, I do most of my internet including social media here on my computer, or on my tablet when I'm home, but I am open to doing some on my phone, short and quick messages during the day, that's my main use for Mastodon, this is also why Loops interests me, but if'n neither works, they're not of much use, are they?
