Mastodawn

Dec 18, 2022

Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:

I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:

- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @[email protected]
- Searched for the account, and followed him.

Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.

@viticci @johnvoorhees yes, and it works with various other services as well. For example https://joinmobilizon.org/en/ is a service to create events, meetups. If you follow a handle from there, it will show up in your mastodon timeline if a new event is published by them.

#JoinMobilizon - Let’s take back control of our events

A user-friendly, emancipatory and ethical tool for gathering, organising, and mobilizing.
