Hello! I'm Alexis! You can also call me Siphonay.

I'm a 21 years old demi-guy from Rennes, France and I'm the admin of this instance, https://donphan.social! As it is a Pokémon-themed instance, that's what I'm mostly talking about here!

I've been a Pokémon fan since I first ever touched my sister's Pokémon Red cartridge when I was just a kid. I never missed a single game to this day! My favorite Pokémon are Munchlax ​ and Snorlax ​. My favorite games of the series are Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire!

Other than running this instance and playing Pokémon, I currently work as an IT support technician. I have a more general and personal account over at @Siphonay@octodon.social, where I post more often. Feel free to follow me over there as well!

Have a nice day!

Donphan is back!! My apologies for the downtime that was longer than announced! Our service providers encountered an issue, but everything seems good now.

as for the remakes they look to be pretty close to the originals, with some additions. They might be the most faithful remakes yet, and while some can view this as disappointing + not be fans of the art style, I’m glad we’re getting them at all. D/P/Pt are probably some of the best (at least among my favorites) Pokémon games, so games carbon-copied on them can’t possibly be bad, even if they aren’t groundbreaking, I’ll gladly experience Sinnoh again through them

I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT sold on Legends Arceus holy shit. Ancient Pokémon designs????? Gimme that shit

Pokémon Presents in 5 minutes!

If you have Twitter I cannot recommend you enough to follow James Turner, designer at Game Freak and art director for Pokémon Sword and Shield, his art is so delightfully cute just looking at it is enough to cheer me up https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42

I don't wanna speak too soon but I think the search is finally here to stay

I'm glad I was able to finally narrow down the problem

As an alternative, I recommend using one of the third party iOS apps listed on this webpage: https://joinmastodon.org/apps, or simply to use the web app in your browser.

Thank you for your understanding!

is too much for me to humanly manage. As such, it is not something that I intend to fix.

Please note that only sign-ups are affected, if you already created or create an account outside of the app, you can still sign onto it.

With that said, another reason that I am not particularly pressed to remediate to this issue is the fact that the official Mastodon iOS app does not implement the local timeline or posting on the "unlisted" privacy level, which is a vision of Mastodon that clashes with small and/or themed servers, such as donphan.social, where the Local timeline is the lifeblood of the community and an easy way to find people with common interests and who signed up on the website for the same reasons as you.
