You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I’m just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.
I see it as a positive thing
1·1 year agoThere’s a problem with that on smaller instances.
You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.
But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the “hashtag experience” depends on the “following experience”.
11·2 years agoI’m Brazilian and here in Brazil there’s no well defined culture on what to do with family names. Legally, you can come out with a complete new family name at the moment of marriage, with the only rule that both people should have it.
In my case, my parents already had some long names. Dad 1 2 3 and Mom 4 5. Both me, my sister and my mom end up with 4 5 2 3, I believe because pressure from my grandparents.
By the way, having four family names, like I do, is not very common in Brazil. It is more common to have two, both the last names from the parents, e.g. Dad 1 2 and Mom 3 4 would result in Baby 4 2, with one of the parents optionally taking those names too (traditionally the woman).
Do not worry too much. At least in Brazil, almost no one uses mesóclise on casual conversation, and it can come across as pedantic.
Wait until you learn about “mesóclise”
+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.
It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.
I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.
I’m like that right now waiting for the Winter heat to leave
By the way. There’s a mastodon bot called “Inspirational Skeletor” that I find very amusing to follow: https://mas.to/@skeletor
They said they still figuring out how to handle the federated posts into its content recommendation algorithm and moderation tools. So not yet.

A few things I really liked about this episode:
First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.
Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @[email protected] go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.
Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.
Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.
