This week, 305 Mastodons found a new home. There are only 184 remaining for all of Europe (and 500 for the US, I will have news on this next week, they have finally arrived at the warehouse).

@analog_cafe Jack's Lab in Bristol and Come Through Lab in Manchester offer same-day development for 5 GBP extra if you bring the film before 2pm or 3pm, so probably that.

So @ErikUden made an unboxing and review video of the #plushtodon. If you want to see The Creature in action, here you go:

@MrLovenstein Me for the past two years.

#Bleptember may be over, but we’re right within #Bleptober.

@philippsteinkrueger @newsmast @Mastodon What do you mean by "we don't have proper search or reblog"? We've had proper search for a long time now and we had reblogs since day one, they're just called "boosts".

@MatWright @Mastodon We are not affiliated with press.coop in any way.

@timdesuyo I want to understand, how does this in your view have anything to do with anyone controlling what you see? You are on Mastodon. Here you control what you see.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver Do you refuse to accept text messages or phone calls from friends unless they're on the same phone network as you? Do you refuse to send e-mails to your friends unless they self-host their e-mail? It should not matter what provider you use. People should be able to connect. That's the principle of the fediverse.

@CosmicTraveler Yes. Unless it's in a reply to their post.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver Well, you could say "If I wanted to be on beige.party, I'd have a beige.party account", and yet here we are talking to each other while using completely separate platforms. That's the principle of the fediverse and I don't see why it shouldn't apply to Threads. I want to talk to people regardless of which platform they choose.

@darnell @threads @mosseri @zuck Where did you hear this?

@heygarrett They can see replies to their posts. But if you write your own post and mention them they won’t see that.

It's always a pleasure to see a popular Threads account with fediverse-sharing enabled. Despite such a vast difference in the platforms, we can achieve a human connection. But fediverse integration in Threads is still in a sorry state over a year since launch. They need to be able to follow us back. They need to see when we mention them. Those are such basic things.

@kevinrothrock If you follow @bsky.brid.gy from your Mastodon account it will allow Bluesky users to follow your Mastodon account, then you only need to post here.

@hisham_hm They see the replies if they’re opted in to fediverse sharing. They are not displayed publicly.

Mr. T (working name) has arrived well ahead of my birthday (thank you @jan!) and is sharing my work day.

Dog thinks it‘s a new toy for her. She keeps wanting to bite its tiny horns :Blobhaj: #plushtodon

I haven't had a chance to do any photography for a month and a half now, just holed up at home working. I miss it dearly.

This is the first impression. Proper unboxing and photo will come later. #plushtodon
