I know PixelFed exists but it's all just text and video and images at the end of the day - so what if the Mastodon interface just looked like Instagram and then you could sign in using your existing Mastodon account... a concept:
This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?

Kein Geheimnis: Wir sind große Fediverse-Fans!
Auf Plattformen wie X, Instagram oder TikTok nehmen Hass, Rassismus und Desinformation zu – während Tech-Konzerne massenhaft persönliche Daten sammeln.
🌱 Das Fediverse bietet echte Alternativen – offen, dezentral, gemeinschaftlich.

Did you know that Wikipedia @wikipedia is a #DigitalPublicGood?
Today at #Wikimania2025, @bolajiayodeji DPG Evangelist & Technical Coordinator at the DPGA Secretariat, joins the panel “Building a Common Language for the Wikimedia Movement.”
He’ll explore how framing @wikimediafoundation projects as #DigitalPublicGoods can strengthen global advocacy and policy.
Don’t miss the conversation! You can join remotely at 2:00 PM UTC: https://wikimedia.eventyay.com/talk/wikimania2025/talk/KJXEY9/
This session will showcase our work on developing a shared vocabulary to ensure coherence in explaining the Wikimedia project model. Led by the Wikimedia Movement Advocacy Network, we aim to strengthen how we communicate Wikimedia’s value to policymakers, editors, and the public. We focus on terms used in policy discussions that help frame Wikimedia projects as digital public goods, emphasize their commons-based governance, and highlight their role in public digital infrastructure. The panel will feature members of the advocacy network, a representative from the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and a Latin American expert in commons governance. Together, they will explore how this framing can inform advocacy, policy, and community engagement. The recent recognition of Wikipedia as a digital public good adds momentum to this participatory conversation, which invites insights and reflections from across the Wikimedia Movement.
I just passed 50,000 followers here -- more than I ever had on Twitter -- and I am hugely grateful to all of you.
I also have at least 10x the genuine engagement here that I ever got on Twitter.
Honestly blown away by @reiver funding #FediCon out of pocket, even covering expensive recording of the event for everyone.
Some may overlook that he spent more than most fediverse servers do yearly.
He prioritized accessibility, pricing tickets at $15 or free (when they should have been $100+ to cover costs).
So grateful for leaders like him and @evan that provide so much for our fediverse ecosystem.

Received my first purple banner popup "help fund us" from #mastodon !
I ❤️ this
Keep up the solid work over there and I will donate when I can and try to do it more than just once 🫶
#opensource shouldn't be ashamed of asking for funding. Your work is valuable.
If you build something for a customer you don't feel bad asking to be paid for hosting and dev time, it ain't cheap.
🌶️Whether you like it or not, you use mastodon, you are a customer. You use a open source project, you are a customer 🌶️
With the launch of Ghost 6.0, every publication that runs on Ghost becomes part of the #fediverse. You can follow and comment on Platformer or 404 Media articles without leaving your Mastodon feed. This is the future of social media.
Congratulations to @johnonolan and all the team at Ghost!
