Sorry if I haven't responded to any messages yet from over the last week or so. Had some personal time off in wet and windy Berlin (it wasn't the only thing that was soggy). Had inky (my baby 🐙) and this cool Ampelmännchen colouring book to keep me entertained.

Whoa, just tried Halcyon (a Mastodon web client that looks like Twitter) for the first time. I know some of our users would love this. Anyone want me to set this up for ABDL.link?
Anyone else watch Hilda? Only a couple of episodes in so far. I love Twig, Hilda's pet the deer-fox 😀
Apart from that, I had a great time in Amsterdam and at Club Luier. Made lots of new friends and got a new rubber duck! 🦆
A lot of people have asked for a single column web theme. While this is something I want to add as a theme, it's going to take some time/work.
In the meantime I'm hosting Pinafore, which is an alternative web client for Mastodon, you can find it and use it here: https://pinafore.abdl.link
Not long until we draw the winner of the giveaway!
