You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I’m just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.
I see it as a positive thing
21·8 months agoYes. I like to read.
There’s a problem with that on smaller instances.
You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.
But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the “hashtag experience” depends on the “following experience”.
I believe it’s how the data is structured.
Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the “user” not being the focus (you can’t even follow a user on Lemmy).
That’s reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.
For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.
You can post directly to a Lemmy community from Mastodon. But there’s no way to do some kind of “cross-post” directly from a Mastodon post.
Yeah, I don’t like mastodon art moderation either, and I wouldn’t recommend signing up there. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are a lot of artists there willing to spread their work.
I was a mod when they picked a fight with a “sister” instance from mine. I saw the MO of the adm. But also found that most of the users there were not even aware of what was happening.
Anyway, OP. Follow whoever you want, just be aware that if you cannot follow someone from mastodon art is because they chose to block your server. Is not personal.
If you like games, try looking at the users of GameDev Place
If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.
If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory
If you like memes, I strongly recommend @[email protected] and @[email protected]
If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950
Hope this helps.

Oh. For sure 😃
She bought a pair of roller skates herself.
A pair of rollerblades.
I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That’s when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.
Do not worry too much. At least in Brazil, almost no one uses mesóclise on casual conversation, and it can come across as pedantic.
Wait until you learn about “mesóclise”
this is what happened to Linus Tech Tips channel: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654996/linus-tech-tips-channel-hack-session-token-elon-musk-crypto-scam
I’m like that right now waiting for the Winter heat to leave
A few things I really liked about this episode:
First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.
Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @[email protected] go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.
Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.
Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.
