EnglishMobster asked: Are there plans to allow Bluesky self-hosters to specify what PDS they use when linking to Bsky?

E.g. my main Bsky account is @jaystevens.me, hosted on <a href="https://pds.jaystevens.me" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">https://pds.jaystevens.me, and I'd like to keep using my main on my own PDS rather than have 2 accounts

mightbecrazy asked: Is there any way to check active sessions and terminate those you dont use anymore?

Not right now, we use basic JWT authentication with optional 2FA, but might be good to revise this someday

Caliban asked: Can you add a Virtual Boy theme

If someone makes a theme they're free to submit it, a lot of our current themes are community-submitted.

we're glad to say that Wafrn is interoperable with this, and the pronouns will show in blacksky if you set them here and vice-versa :) #wafrn
The ability to edit your profile's pronouns are now available on the blacksky.community web app. Reload the tab/page to see the update.

Pronouns are visible when viewing a user's profile and also as you reply to their posts. Thank you @thisismissem.social for your contributions.

Wafrn is woke now.

If you add an attachment called "pronouns" to your profile, it will display in posts next to your username.

happy wooting :)

FynniPlushie asked: Given that you can disable Rewoots and Replies showing up on the dashboard, could it be possible to disable likes, too? Feels a bit odd that that's the only one you can't disable.
(Also it would be funny to disable all three. Blissful silence...)

Anonymous asked: does wafrn have any starter packs/is it compatible with other fediverse packs?

Not as of right now, and we do not have any existing plans to implement such a feature.

Come to think of it, there would probably be a complication as we're multi-protocol; Bluesky also h[...]

The web version of this wafrn instance has the new muted words system, it should work better

- @gabboman.xyz
We are updating the way we detect muted words.
If you mute the word ICE:
* Ice cream will be muted
* Price WILL NO LONGER be muted
If you mute the word TRUMP:
* Trumpet will no longer be muted
* "god I hate Donal Trump" would be muted #by-the-way #have-you-seen-that-wkuk-video

If you're on the forum that we are testing, you can use the RSS feed it generates to be notified of new posts and threads.

We did it, we have opened up a forum at <a href="https://forum.wafrn.net" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">https://forum.wafrn.net

It is currently invite-only, as we're still testing out the setup and seeing how well it works. If you want an invite code, contact one of the administrators of this instance, i.e @alexia.

Cheers!
