By that measure it actually be you instead of you aunt and uncle

That’s quite common with two people who are seperate people

their condition

What’s their condition? Being twins? Being your aunt and uncle? Practicing incest?

I can’t tell if I’m just too deep in the fedi-culture weeds, or if the article really is confidently ignorant

Prolly both :D

Thank you. I’m saving your comment for reference.

I still don’t understand the why of the war. Is there an official narrative?

And his name is John Cena!

You successfully answered a question that was neither of the two.

Meanwhile his president hosts top athletes eating McDonald’s.

Luckily there’s still the trick of not using Edge. Who knows for how long.

Cheers for the lengthy explanation!

Lol. Truth Social using Mastodon seems so ironic.

I’ve just “joined” the Fediverse a few days ago. I’m somewhat tech-savy I’d say. I still find a lot of it confusing.

"Most people don’t conceptualize it like that; they conceptualize it like the postal service. " I think this was and still is in part true for me.

There’s the term “Fediverse”, which suggests that there’s one continuous “universe” of things. But actually - and please correct me if I got this wrong - there’s just servers connected/interlinked with other servers, which (strictly must, due to how it works) form bubbles/webs or islands of all sizes.

There are practically no postal service bubbles, because I can send mail to anyone I’d realistically wish. There are different postal service providers, but a “-verse” term would be better applied to postal service (-> “Postalverse”) than to federated servers, imo.

So ideally as a noob coming from reddit or twitter, I’d like to know what the biggest bubble of connected servers is and where I can enter.

A thing I haven’t figured out yet is why I can’t find a decent feed feature on Mastodon. On Lemmy there are local/all filters for communities a server is federated with, if I understood this correctly. My mastodon home instance (mastodon.social) doesn’t seem to have a feed, really. There’s a “trending” filter, but it has very few posts - afaik just the ones I specifically subscribed to - and it doesn’t differentiate between local and all federated servers.

Am I doing it wrong? :P

I’m expecting to have filters like in Lemmy, where I can just consume anything new, trending or controversial.
