@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv so how does it work for something like publishing stories? If you used a fedi like https://writefreely.org

Could people from mastodon fallow you and get updates when you post?

@feditips Is there a way you can tell? The only clue I've had so far is if a post is waaaay longer than the average toot.

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv Sadly, neither PeerTube nor Pixelfed has an official mobile app that you can find on your phone's store.

@feditips

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, the Fediverse/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, the Fediverse plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning federated system made useful by the ActivityPub protocol, web utilities, and vital social network components comprising a full fediverse.

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv I'm a nerd that likes to try things so I have a #Mastodon, #Calckey, #Pixelfed, #Peertube, #Akkoma, and #Pleroma accounts. What else do I need? #OwnCast?

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv
Fed as in federation or federated?

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv
i tell people its like the united federation of planets, unstable, in constant need of maintenance, but so much better than the alternative...sorry got star trek brain.

@feditips

I'm very glad to see you continuing to focus on the #Fediverse and NOT mastodon, just one part of the ecosystem.

@feditips useful, and also no, there's no way I'm following video or audio feeds here, as those are my least favorite Mastodon (or Web) content. 😆 but good to know it's seamless!

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv I use #microdotblog, and appreciate how it connects to Mastodon and the fediverse. https://welcome.micro.blog/
Whatever overcomes the walled gardens of Facebook and the others. The Network is the social network.

@feditips
I don't know who needs to know this, but I can't open most of the pictures on lancylkowski. I can see most (not all) on the feed. I am using vanilla Mastodon.

@feditips Understand.

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv so, from a server's perspective, I could setup a Mastodon server and use it as a Pixelfed instance? What would be the key differences here?

@feditips @theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv
I still refuse to use much of the "accepted" nomenclature in #HephalumpWorld, as I find it silly, and will never refer to posts as fart synonyms. Unless I'm talking about actual farts.

Beans, beans, that magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So eat some beans with every meal

@theatticdwellers @Iancylkowski @rstv @feditips Would like to find a server dedicated to boomers born in 40s & 50s. Or if none exist, Would like to learn how to run a server and dedicate it to that tribe.
