message "Load missing posts"

Several times per day, i get a message with "Load missing posts" besides the usual "New posts". If I click the message the app seems to get confused and I'm not anymore on the last missing post. Is this some sort of bug?

PeerTube likes/dislikes support

Many people use Mastodon to follow PeerTube channels. It is very convenient that you can fetch videos to your feed and even post comments & replies from your account. But you need to login to PeerTube to like videos. Is there a way to improve this?

Looking for Picture of the Day Suggestions

Looking for Picture of the Day Suggestions

I'm looking for Mastodon accounts which have a Picture of the Day concept similar to https://botsin.space/@APoD (Astronomy Picture of the Day via NASA feed) suggestions.

Open to all types of content - animals, art, abandoned stuff, photography, etc. Needs to be "of quality" is all I ask, think "create a mastodon List called Gallery and put all the accounts there to get some daily eye candy, but not overload on any one subject" to get a taste of everything. One a day (plus iron), but not memes or hardcore stuff (hentai, hard porn, etc.) but general fringe, lowbrow, abstract etc. are all on the menu.

I know there are many specific mastodons dedicated to art, photography, etc. the problem is sifting through thousands of possible accounts to find something I'd be organically interested in which doesn't include "post chatter" and is just pure one picture a day content.

* Mastodon's dominance (~34% counting web and apps) ... compared with
* How little market share "celebrated" iOS (ivory & icecubes) and web apps (elk, phanpy) have (4.3% total, 0.7% for elk+phanpy)
* But all that (and the other listed items) are only ~50% with the rest consisting of "thousands" more!

Genuinely sad to see elk and phanpy not get more love.

Caution: Content Warnings Do Not Reduce Distress, Study Shows

https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/2023-october-content-warnings-distress.html

Advocates for the use of trigger warnings suggest that they can help people avoid or emotionally prepare people for encountering content related to a past trauma. But research indicates the warnings only heighten anticipatory anxiety.
