  We are proud to announce that masto.nyc now has its own Android App! This is a fork from the mainline Mastodon that is a bit more tailored to the Masto NYC experience. Give it a try and we would love to hear any feedback! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nyc.masto.android - This app is complementary to the greater Fediverse app ecosystem. Using it isn't, and never will be a requirement to use masto.nyc - iOS is also in the works #nyc #mastoadmin #mastodon

  Hullo, neighbors! We’ve put together our first survey of Masto.NYC users: just a few questions to take temperature about how well the server's been treating you, ways that we can improve, and a straw poll or two about other activities. Very grateful for all responses submitted by Friday, February 7! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUtxIncjphEaGL-_A3JvIEM4dnD8WC71u07vykXzlnE_2-aA/viewform?usp=dialog

  @gbargoud You can indeed set your Mastodon account to auto-delete your posts after a ceratin time limit! https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period/ But rest assured that it's not local users' content that fills up our hard drive—it's *everyone else’s*. The fediverse is a big place! We admins need to automate some regular cleanup of all that fetched remote data, is all.
