This is wonderful, thank you so much!

I’ve been holding off from switching to Android (and getting a GrapheneOS x Pixel phone) because I have 5 years’ worth of messages on Signal on my iPhone… I’ll look into this method for sure

Oooh interesting! Could you please elaborate / share any resources about this?

I’m now hosting my own Pixelfed instance (as of Tuesday). I really like being in charge of my own server…

The drawback I’m seeing is that Explore and search sometimes yield no results.

Like searching for “Nikon” just now results in “no content found” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even if your Mastodon instance is federated with Threads, you can still block the whole domain from your account. Explanation / walkthrough here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113797840274825233

My almost 4-year-old started watching cartoons a few months ago. She has about 20 min of screen time a day max, all slow, wholesome stuff. She LOVES SpiderMan because I got her DUPLO and LEGO characters and we play with them all the time. I got her a Spidey book but she didn’t like it at all - it’s very shallow and there’s no moral to the story. I showed her the title sequence from SpiderMan in the 1970s I believe and she really liked it

Thank you for your comment – OP here (of the blog post).

**Calckey.world **is a Sharkey instance (a fork of MissKey). I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it's my favorite Fediverse software so far... I'm planning to write about it soon for my blog.

Yeah DeepL is NOT part of the Fediverse - I used it to translate a comment from Portuguese to English. Still my favorite online translator but my husband also uses ChatGPT for those purposes and I've been really impressed by its quality, too.

Loops.video just launched - it's the Fediverse's answer to TikTok by the creator of Pixelfed, FediDB, etc. It's not active yet, for now you can register your username, but Dan has yet to onboard users. I believe he said he needs to upgrade to a new server because of all the sign-ups.

Linux phone: yeah, I cannot wait to build one. Definitely my goal for next year - as well as a Linux computer :)

Hello! Apologies for the belated reply but I was out of town and offline most of the weekend. Yes I'm seeing this in Lemmy too (and Mastodon). Gotta check PieFed now :)

Thank you for another great recommendation 🙏

Thank you for the feedback and the testimony – original blog post author right here 👋 I'm glad to hear you were pleasantly surprised and I appreciate the tips about opensource.com and The Cathedral and the Bazaar - made a note to look it up and read it.

one more interoperability test, this time from Lemmy.world to a self-hosted new Friendica instance. Hello @[email protected] - let me know if you get this! 👋

🥳🥳🥳 grazie! 🙏
