Manic System Administrator @sysadmin@mania.systems
i'll announce any changes to the instance or anything else I run on mania.systems using this account. you can also message for questions etc, but it's not checked very often - might be better off hitting up @sevenofnine instead.
this is not actually a bot account, no matter what the profile picture looks like ;)
(Oh also - wallabag coming soon I think.)
Two new things:
- First, mania.systems now hosts an RSS feed reader, miniflux, for general use now. It's a hell of a lot prettier than the tinytinyrss instance that I used to run... If you want an account, just ask!
- Second, https://git.mania.systems/maniasystems/youtube-dl is one of a great many mirrors of `youtube-dl` which got taken down off GitHub today. The more mirrors, the harder it is to make it go away 😉 See here for a lot more: https://docs.nixnet.services/Youtube-dl_mirrors
more cute robots have now earned their own category in the emoji picker, with some new additions as well
(and more)
(mind you we're biased so no robot is as cute as 
)
I've seen a post going around but I can't find it, so I'll recap: uBlock Origin and it's ilk have a rule that breaks loading some of the mastodon components for some instances (idk if it affects mainline masto?)
Ours is one of those instances - it seems to manifest in that you can't open a thread, you'll get an error when you click on a toot to 'zoom in' as it were.
If that's the case, just add an exception or disable uBlock on mastodon.mania.systems and the problem should go away.

@sysadmin 
im excited to be here 
Shout out a big welcome towards @hermes, who has joined the mania.systems community!
As of a couple days ago, you can sign up for this instance directly at mastodon.mania.systems instead of having to be invited. Still requires admin approval, but .. yknow. I don't sleep.
Nextcloud is now the same - directly register at docs.mania.systems for an account.
Working on making the same changes elsewhere where I can.
Admins can add this under Administration → Site settings → Custom CSS if they want bigger inline emojos 
.status__content .custom-emoji, .status__content .emojione {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
It only applies to post content, not display names
Added some custom CSS (courtesy of @amolith) to make our inline emoji bigger. It's so pretty now ❤️ 
re: instance admin
also, there's a bunch of new emoji which aren't hidden 
nothing *but* mutant standard is hidden, so take a look at the picker.
instance admin
Mutant Standard emoji are no longer shown in the emoji picker (to improve the load time of that damned little thing), but are still available on this instance. You can use pretty much anything you see here: https://mutant.tech/demo/ but prefix the shortcode with "ms", e.g. "ms_100"
Handful of new emoji added: 
A handful of new domains have been suspended, silenced or had their media rejected (you can check the list: https://mastodon.mania.systems/about/more#unavailable-content). If there's more you recommend, feel free to reply and I'll take a look.
masto admin
added mas.to and djsumdog.com to suspended instances.
still working on fleshing out the list; we'll get there!
Mania Sytems now has a WriteFreely instance hiding over at write.mania.systems!... https://write.mania.systems/sysadmin/mania-sytems-now-has-a-writefreely-instance-hiding-over-at-write-mania-systems
Now with custom emoji 
Beep boop braaaap. So, hey, this is an instance now.
