exclusive lists on cooler.mom 

cooler.mom now supports exclusive lists. If you set a list you’ve made to “exclusive,” posts from members of that list will appear only in that list’s timeline and not in your home feed.

This feature is great for following accounts that only post about one subject, for crossposting accounts, or for pixelfed feeds.

Use the web interface to set a list as Exclusive. You can only add accounts you follow to lists.

-pinned local-only posts now stay local-only

-in apps, replies to local posts will stay local, and unique posts will be local-only if that's what you have as default in the web UI (see details in screenshot)

cooler.mom now runs the fork of Mastodon, by @darius: github.com/hometown-fork/homet

Migrating to this fork allows the instance to take advantage of some unique features well-suited for small communities that aren't part of regular Mastodon. This thread will have a feature guide!

Sorry about brief outage this morning. Search was broken because our server did not have enough RAM to run full-text search. This is now resolved.

upcoming downtime, server migration 

cooler.mom will be migrated this week to a new server running the Hometown fork of Mastodon (github.com/hometown-fork/homet), which supports local-only posting and a few other neat features that do not exist in vanilla Mastodon. Exact downtime will be posted both on this account and as an Announcement in the web interface.

For the last two months, @alex has been running dads.cool on a modified version of Mastodon, Hometown (github.com/hometown-fork/homet) that allows for local-only posts that can only be seen by users of the instance, plus some other neat features not in regular Mastodon.

I'm considering switching cooler.mom to the same platform, but it would require 4-5 hours of downtime this weekend as we set up a server and move away from mastohost.

What are your thoughts on this? What questions do you have?
