Why does the Netherlands
πŸ‡³πŸ‡± account for less than 0.02% of global landmass, 🌍 but about 10% of fediverse users? ​​

The answer lies with how the fediverse

Many social platforms have recently
πŸ•’ been implementing Age Verification. ​​

The fediverse,

There's been some confusion
​:NepConfused:​ over the last #HowToFedi post, with some users claiming that reacting with a spanner is a way of signaling discontent ​​ and/or is rude. ​​

These users are mistaken.

React with a wrench to signal you dislike the post, reacting with a spanner means nothing and is totally fine.

Aim for the bottom

I want to create a new account, and would love to be able to bring along all the filters I have created. Is there a way of doing that?

I simply cannot find out if this is a stupid question, so I guess I'll have to discover it by asking: Is there a way of consolidating one's feeds from different parts of the #fediverse - e.g. Mastodon, Pixelfed - into one unified home feed?

Because that would be the bee's knees.
