@ghostlyash There'd be different categories. Fastest to fall asleep. Hardest to wake up. Best dream recollection. Total time slept. ect. I'd do ok on fastest to fall asleep, I think.
@siderea That is an odd question. I'm assuming you want to keep this on the device, but if not would a script that monitors the website on a desktop or server and sends a notification work? It looks like ntfy runs an instance you can use so you wouldn't need to set that up. You might be able to combine it with macrodroid to set off an alarm from the notification.
@littlefox@dragonminded Oh dear, we've encountered the Baffling Sounds Of Dragon error. Recommended fix is a restart, tucking your dragon in with a plushy for the night.
@foone Other annoying problems: I've yet to encounter a spellcheck that lets me type "realise" without it marking it as wrong, or "correcting" it for me. I guess Merriam-Webster is more to blame for that one.
@hikari@luna I'm curious what you think of bottles (I don't think it'd have helped in this case, and it's far less integrated than what you plan, but it seems nice for managing multiple versions of wine, at least)
@ObsidianUrbex@gme I very recently just setup Iceshrimp.net, but the main reason I chose it is unlikely to be important to your use. I wanted to be able to react to posts with custom emojis :3
gotosocial seems like a solid choice, but you need to bring your own front end that is compatible with the mastodon api. I set it up before I realised this was not suitable for me because it lacks custom reactions. If you only use the app that shouldn't be a problem, and rrees.me/2024/03/24/alternative-mastodon-frontends/ has a few web front ends.
As for federation I think that servers discover you when you follow someone on that server, or someone on that server follows you. I don't think a relay would help people find you but it could help you find others. But I don't really know for certain.
