I can't figure out if mastodon is a high context culture or not. People seem to be expected to give long introductions and do a lot of identity/positionality disclosure, but also an enormous reply guy culture which is defined by low context drive-by. Conversational turn-taking is extremely low compared to other platforms ime, but depth-seeking is high. What an interesting mix.
*obviously, these experiences are all situated within my own network effects, and I'm not well networked here.

I find that when you mute people who seek attention through language-policing and nitpicking, you end up with a pretty chill feed of people who mostly understand that we're all going through different shit.
It is pretty cool to see all the different forks of major fediverse platforms. Just learning about Chuckya, a "soft fork" of glitch-soc, which itself is a fork of Mastodon.
@Taleya Thanks for your sage advice. Should it ever happen that one day i decide to create a Lemmy account & begin using it, i hope that i remember this tip.
In the meantime, from my #Friendica & #Mastodon accounts, my OP & this reply now both coming from the former, @'s & #'s do work that way. The #Fediverse is far wider than only Lemmy.
#Aurora last night from 30 min east of #Seattle. Absolutely stunning for hours! Such an amazing shared experience we all got to have (irl and as a shining example of the global #mastodon community). 💚🩷💜♥️
I don't fully understand the point of Pixelfed. I've used it a couple times, but always end up abandoning it. I like the pictures, but I can just view them here on Mastodon. I was even following most of the same accounts since it's all federated anyway.
There are clients for Mastodon with gallery views and you can set feeds to media only. Pixelfed felt entirely redundant to me, and I couldn't find a use case.

Now that the #Fediverse grows and grows, I'm more and more convinced, that the best way to access it, doesn't yet exist. There is no way of really experiencing the diversity right now.
It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
As a fun little experiment, @damon and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience.
I don't think we're ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there's an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.
This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.
First toot was a single 'loose' top-level toot, second one above to the #emoji thread, but no emoji showing in #Mastodon at all in both of these. And opening the link to your toot, leads to a login page on NodeBB.
@stgiga Except your instance does not run 🐘#Mastodon, it runs 🦈#Sharkey (a fork of :misskey_mi:#Misskey, which itself was developed independently from Mastodon so is not a fork of the latter). If you want a more general, software-agnostic term, then call it a #Fediverse instance.
@stgiga Even #Mastodon is not the original #Fedi software. That title belongs to an extinct software that’s even older than #GNUSocial & #Hubzilla (which both are older than Mastodon). For more details on Fedi history, check this timeline compiled by @youronlyone/@youronlyone who corrected some of my own misconceptions & wrong thoughts about Fedi stuff.
@stgiga@youronlyone@youronlyone & talking about #Fedi history by the way, since the doc itself says it is a living doc, there are a few notable instances not yet mentioned there that were recently developed by high-profile (or at least notable enough for us) Fedi users & might have verifiable links or posts that can give them a place within the doc’s timeline:
• #Fedibird (#Mastodon fork) by @noellabo
• #Sharkey (a very popular #Misskey fork) by @Amelia (& others from the @Sharkey project) since 2023
• maybe #IceShrimp (#Firefish fork?), unsure if it’s notable enough for inclusion or if supported by verifiable links (even I don’t know who created it).
I leave it up to @youronlyone whether certain popular extensions (if not forks per se) like #GlitchSoc (extending Mastodon) & #Soapbox (extending or modifying #Pleroma) can be added to the timeline as well.
Also, I will definitely not suggest for inclusion (or even a footnote mention) a certain #Akkoma fork that was given an obscene name by a fringe group of people (let’s just pretend it never existed, OK?) :ablobcatknitsweats:
