@clickhere God no! It’s all so helpful! I can’t tell you how much it’s speeding up the process. I’m going to #askthefediverse first every time now!

I’m expanding my presence in the Fediverse!
You can now find my humble travel photos on Pixelfed:

Quick question though:
I’m still getting my head around how Fediverse connections work. When I visit my Pixelfed profile via Mastodon, I don’t see the photos, so I don't really see the point of this connection.
Am I missing something? 🤔

I remember a long time ago taking an aptitude test to sort out what career path I might choose.
The results indicated that music instructor or minister were likely to be the most fruitful paths for me.
Back then I couldn't read music, and I was an atheist, so I remained adrift.
Now that I still can't read music -- but love it in just about all of its forms -- and am willing to consider myself an agnostic, should I consider becoming a televangelist?
I even have a name picked out: The Reverend Oral Anal. (For those who remember Oral Roberts.)

Weird question for the fedi to answer:

Partner and I are thinking of making some 'platforms' for the patio to replace the current rotting ones. She came up with the idea that instead of 100% wood, which would make them as heavy and difficult to move for cleaning as the old ones, we could maybe use chicken wire in a sturdy frame. This will

a) make it lighter
b) easy to move & clean under
c) allow for water filtration
d) cheaper to make maybe?

My only concern is whether chicken wire can support the weight of peeps + patio furniture, plants and worm bin. My thinking is that smaller frames will allow for more even weight distribution, but I am not an engineer.

Question: would several roughly 0.5meter x 0.5 meter wood frames (maybe cedar) with chicken wire at its center, fulfill these requirements? Should I go smaller?

Oh, we would also put some of those ikea wood tiles on top for good measure.

More details: it is a patio on a roof, so there is torch underneath. It also rains a lot here.

If you were starting a new store on the web to sell the dumbest products imaginable, what would you use for your storefront (that isn't Shopify)? #lazyweb #ecommerce #askthefediverse

For much of my young life, I used centralized platforms, for-profit platforms, etc.

I am trying to change all of that except my love for the Apple ecosystem of course.

What are the best open-source and private platforms I can switch to in general? What do people randomly recommend? #FOSS #OpenSource #NonProfit #Recommendations #AskMastodon #AskFediverse #AskTheFediverse

I was just wondering, what do you guys do to decompress? I had a lousy week and the weekend didn't go very well, very open to suggestions #askTheFediverse

Does anyone recognise this core memory panel? I might be able to get a clearer photo of it soon.

Might be made by ampex.

i have a quiestion about the fediverse: are followers linked to domain, some sort of id or some other way? say i spin up my own mastodon server. people follow my profile there. then my mastodon server crashes and i have to do a full reinstall. i make a user with the same name on the same domain, or even install pixelfed (same url's) do people still follow me? i understand that whoever i followed might be lost (but this is easy to export and backup), but what about people who followed me?
