is wrapped and done! This instance and fedivision.party have been slipped into quiescent mode. We hope you’ve had fun participating this last month. Please continue to follow this account for further events.

@kestral Your instance’s About web page will say. You are on Mastodon 4.3.0 (glitch-soc) and I haven’t seen any outgoing messages fail to reach your server, but votes are incoming and if they fail to reach fedi.vision they aren’t logged.

It’s been brought to my attention that there’s a communication issue between fedi.vision (which runs Takahē) and some (but not all) servers running Pleroma and Akkoma. Messages (including votes) are being dropped. I’m trying to diagnose it but I doubt it’ll be fixed by the time voting closes. Sorry if this affects you, you’ll need to find another account to vote from. 😞

@dgar I checked the database, it’s about 35 in reality.

@dgar I’m not a bot, I’m a human being! 🙃

With three and a half days left of voting in , don’t forget to vote for your 1 to 3 favourite entries, using the four-letter codes displayed next to them. Visit fedivision.party/vote for instructions and an example! Voting closes UTC 19.00 on Sunday 26 May 2024.

listeners, if you’re not already following our vote-counting account at @vote, we recommend that you do before this Sunday. That account (not this announce account) will run the simulcast listening party on Sunday afternoon, and also will be first to announce the winners on Monday.

@Lioh Oh I saw that and meant to fix it. Damn HTML escape-escaping! Next time I’m near a big computer I’ll edit. Edit: done

@ddlyh Big thanks, yes, my Perl script wasn’t clever enough to handle collaborations, and it barfed on leading/trailing spaces too. I hand edited them all and they all go somewhere (hopefully correct) now.

@dhry If you could see us, it’d all be fursuits in French maid costumes. Do you really want that? @dgar @Fury

Our pop-up channel for the FediVision 2024 voting period is live.

It's an alternative way you can hear the entrants if a linear format. It's on our main site below our regular channels.

Keep an eye on @announce and for info, fun and light hearted lobbying.

To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.

Good morning all, thanks for the fedi user link bug reports. I will fix them today. Edit: now all links go somewhere; if there are still issues please check in.

@cobalt Many thanks. S3 bucket filename didn’t line up because of trailing whitespace/dot. All fixed.

Musicians: If you want to promote your own entry, you're invited to link straight to your block in fedivision.party/; there's a #-anchor for each entry corresponding to your four-character code. Find the URL in the "Jump to" paragraph. The "Play" button there will jump the player at the top of the page to your track.

Happy Sunday! is open for listening two hours early, in deference to the bedtime of the Radio Free Fedi hamster, who lives in UTC+12.

Watch the poor Wordpress site struggle as hundreds of instances try to load a preview for fedivision.party/ or stream now at radiofreefedi.net/

Voting still commences at the scheduled time of 13.00 UTC today, but as there's four hours of music, if you try to vote early you're definitely getting some side-eye.

@ddlyh Yes, popular demand from last year’s then-record field.

@Synchro We aren’t the Guardian, we respect your chosen capitalization!

@faustivache Confirming you are there, WFCA!

@keefmarshall @lminiero Exactly this.

@lminiero @keefmarshall You’re right, the bot will forget your prior votes and assign one vote to the artist you name in your last toot. To vote for more than one artist, vote simultaneously in one toot.
