Why does the Netherlands 🇳🇱 account for less than 0.02% of global landmass, 🌍 but about 10% of fediverse users? ​​

The answer lies with how the fediverse ​​ works internally, and a certain area of Amsterdam! ​​

Posts are passed from one instance to another through De Pijp!

Many social platforms have recently 🕒 been implementing Age Verification. ​​

The fediverse, ​​ being filled with a bunch of massive nerds, ​​ has decided to instead implement Gauge Verification ​​ (based on gauge theory).

It's like age verification, except the only thing it actually verifies is if you are GAY.

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.

Are you experiencing frontend ​​ or UI bugs? ​​ These can often be caused by your client disabling all HTML <span> elements, as these look a lot like <spam> elements! ​​

Thankfully, most clients also have a special Span Mode to fix this! ​​ Here's how to activate it:

UI bugs or rendering issues can usually be fixed by reacting with a spanner (🔧) to a random post on your timeline!

Did you know? ​​ It was impossible to send images 🖼on the Fediverse ​​ until dansup invented ActivityPub, 👨‍🔧 a federated analogue of platforms like ​​ Instagram?

Today, all major Fediverse platforms implement image sharing by sending all images directly to dansup’s inbox!

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 don't spend much time figuring out who to follow, so I don't care about 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.
