With that.. time for a new pinned toot!
Hey there, this is the meemu.org main announcement account! Our staff here is @catgoat @Salem @Sig and @Trufflesnuffle ! Check out our rules at https://meemu.org/about/more and contact any of us if you have questions.
any changes to the meemu theemu(s) or customizations to the code itself will be up on github: https://github.com/meemudotorg/theemu
the code is free to snag, under the same license as mastodon itself.
meemu has a trello board to track what's coming and what's underway! https://trello.com/b/nvIm5yIl/meemu
Lots of folks are looking beyond Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Here's a slew of other options to explore.

if you're a small instance and need some way to send confirmation email, and you can't just use your ISPs obscure email service - I can set you up with an SMTP account on my server that I use for all domains
Remember that you implicitly trust whoever runs that service though, so while it could easily handle 2000 outgoing emails a day, you probably don't want to trust me with that
Question #mastoadmin folk: whats the best way to get broader federation on a new instance these days? New server has a decent start but I hesitate to install a follow bot and relays seem messy.
Hello new faces and old! I know we’ve had some new and returning folks lately, don’t forget to give yourself a quick refresh on our rules here: https://meemu.org/about/more and definitely ask any of the staff ( @catgoat @Salem @piggy and @Sig or just DM this account) if you have any questions! 💜💜💜
CSS Style For Identifying Undescribed Media
Recently, several users expressed a desire for a way to quickly check if the images in the toot they were about to boost were described. It would be nice if Mastodon itself offered warnings for that, as well as for forgetting to describe media in your own posts, but until then, this is actually one problem admins can fix on our own!
All you need to do is go into the site settings and add a bit of CSS code that will display a red border around any undescribed media. There are two examples available, depending on how subtle or noticeable you want the border to be; experiment and see what you like!

Thanks to @IngaLovinde for thinking of the starting code and @FiXato for improving on it! They did all the work here; I am just sharing this along.
Open this post in a new tab and look at the image to see how this can look like. The example image is my avatar, described in another pinned post.
