My Lemmy use case from Mastodon:

1. Create a list
2. Search for @lemmy.world and @lemm.ee
3. Add your preferred communities

This makes it easy to follow, comment, and interact with topics from a single list.

I can hear it.

@whataweekhuh Is it though?

In 2009, Mark Zuckerberg insisted Facebook would never sell your data.

Feels like it's from a different timeline when viewed today.

@LivingCooki You scared me! :blob_sweat: It's good that I have used to opening the original post.

One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.

Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

@Technogourmet @codinghorror Here's the explanation and context for accessibility and inclusivity: Jeff donated one million dollars to Internet Archive and they sent an automated email like they do for anyone who donates regardless of the amount. So the post is kind of a sarcastic, humble brag. Hats off to Jeff.

I see that in 2025, I've been posting in Finnish 90% of the time and in English only 10%, mainly due to the huge influx of Finnish users this year. In previous years, it was the opposite - 90% English and 10% Finnish.

The best part? It doesn't matter here in the Fediverse. With language filtering and translation features, it's truly a top-tier social media.

@cratedigger It's under Preferences → Other.

Here's the direct URL for you: https://mastodon.xyz/settings/preferences/other

AFAIK, it should affect all posts, including boosts.

@cratedigger Oh, OK. I noticed there's a bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20241

I hope it will get fixed in the future.
I personally don't filter languages.

Life hacks...

In the Fediverse, beyond Mastodon and similar platforms, you can also follow users from:

- Bluesky (search users with: bsky.brid.gy)
- Threads (search users with: threads.net)
- X (search users with: bird.makeup)
- Nostr (search users with mostr.pub)

However, these connections are often one-way, and not all users are discoverable due to various limitations.

Many people avoid any contact with these platforms for ideological reasons, and personally, I dislike bird.makeup because it merely provides X feeds. Some Fediverse instances have outright banned all of these services.

Over the years, my faith in interoperability with services not originally built for ActivityPub has diminished - Meta has shown no real progress, and the Bluesky bridge, with its persistent issues, is unlikely to ever work seamlessly.

I believe in the Fediverse and ActivityPub. They are more than sufficient without external integrations.
