đĄInstance features
social.everythingbagel.me is not your yet another instance with defaults. It is packed with small, but groundbreaking modifications. This page lists all of them.
OUTDATED as of 4.3.0 Alpha (Experimental )
Some features are subject to change, planned or reversed to be consist with latest Mastodon version to ensure a stable instance.
Manifestations of Bragging Rights
On top of the regular Mastodon features like per-post visibility, content warnings and real time feed, social.everythingbagel.me has the following features.
Elegant Enchantments
Unveil a world of enhancements, including the Mastodon Bird UI, comprehensive count display, refined link previews, precise notification count, support for threads, and the mighty toot button đđ¨
The UI can be found on GitHub and its updates can be followed under hashtags #BirdUI and #MastodonBirdUI on Mastodon.
Top and bottom bar scroll out of the way
A subtle change, suggested by ikkeT. See the post presenting it. See JavaScript changes here and Style changes here.
Allow max. 15 hashtags in the advanced interface columns
The default Mastodon Advanced interface allows 4 hashtags per column. We allow 15. There is a closed issue that is still an issue on 4.1.4.
Lots of custom emojis
social.everythingbagel.me has a lot of custom emojis. You can also request your own by sending a post to @Shadow. Good emoji source: Slackmojis.
Polls with 15 options and 150 character limit per option
Default Mastodon allows max. 4 options and 50 character limit per option. I have increased them so that posting polls is not too strict.
Expanded Post Character Limit
Unleash your thoughts with a generous increase from 500 to 4242 characters because the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is 42.
Elevated Display Moniker
Command attention with an expanded display moniker, now 60 characters from 30
Group Boosts Amplification
Elevate camaraderie with group boosts in timelines, 1000 posts within reach from 40
Extended Bio Character Limit
Paint your narrative on an extended biography canvas, from 500 to 1000 characters
Vastened Feed Horizons
Immerse yourself in a wider feed landscape, expanded from 400 to 1200
Extended Identity Emanation
Expand your aura with extra fields and mystical verifications in your profile, now expanded from 4 to 6. Reveal your true self within our diverse community, like constellations emerging in the night sky
Show full comment, boost and fav amounts in posts instead of just "1+" or nothing
The Vanilla Mastodon doesn't show these amounts and will likely never show them natively as per this comment. However as an OCD person the metrics matter so on social.everythingbagel.me you'll see full amount of comments. (Related issue on Mastodon)
Please note, currently this is reversed to default due to unreliable method.
Elasticsearch Illumination
Illuminate your search with the magic of Elasticsearch. Traverse the expansive tapestry of our discussions effortlessly and commune with fellow adventurers like never before.
By default Mastodon searches only for your own posts and the ones you have answered to, if that. Search provided by Elasticsearch. On social.everythingbagel.me you can search all posts the Mastodon instance is aware of. Also supports search operators, read more here: Mastodon Advanced search is here. This is actually now in the Mastodon core, so our instance just follows the core feature.
Multilingual Whispers
Unveil the mysteries of different tongues with the aid of DeepL.
500 posts on the Explore tab
By default Mastodon shows 100 posts on the Explore tab. We show 500.
