I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, the Fediverse, or as I've recently taken to calling it, the ActivityPub-Fediverse. Mastodon is not a singular network unto itself, but rather a subnetwork of a greater "federated universe" - the Fediverse - realized by thousands of independent, live servers, each running an instance of one of an ensemble of platforms, all of which interoperate via the ActivityPub protocols.
Many Mastodon users surf a particular impression of the Fediverse every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the fraction of the network which is most widely used today is called "Mastodon", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Fediverse, equally inhabited by users from other non-Mastodon servers.
There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the Fediverse they use. Mastodon is an ActivityPub server for microblogging. Mastodon is an essential part of the Fediverse, but limiting by itself. The Fediverse experience manifests in the context of a complete network. Mastodon distributes content in combination with other ActivityPub servers. The whole network is basically ActivityPub servers with Mastodon being the most common; The so-called "Mastodon network" is really the Fediverse network.

Mastodon has been feeling kinda dead lately. Each week for the last few months I use it less and less. Why? I don't know. Perhaps the difficulty of finding engaging sub communities?
Anybody know people here who post regularly and are into:
* Effective Altruism #effectivealtruist
* #Graphics #opengl #vulkan #gamedev
* #machinelearning #pytorch #tensorflow
* #programming in #c #cpp #rust #python #haskell specially those who post about their #foss projects
* #crypto such as #ada #sol #algorand
* #mathematics
* #AGI
* #academia
is it common to have loved ones call/text after they get back to their homes after a visit? there was a woman I was dating who seemed a bit confused when I texted her to take I had made it back. maybe it's just when it's over a long distance, like with a train or plane journey that other folks do that?

I don't get how #Wordle hard mode requires using the same letters you've matched already in subsequent guesses. that's the easy way for me

Happy to report that the European Commission's Open Source Programme Office decided to fund a bug bounty program for #Mastodon!
i was thinking about how I ask questions that I can look up on a search engine. even more than a book, it's not too expensive to get an answer from a search engine, so people might say "let me google that for you", implying that you might have just typed your question into Google's search engine to get an answer more efficiently. leaving aside that crafting a good query can be nontrivial, especially if the subject matter is new to you, I think asking a *person* a question also serves to inform that person that there's a question to be asked. in other words, a person may not realize there was any confusion about a term or phrase, and would continue to use it, assuming everyone knows the meaning or will find out, but if someone asks, then they might learn that, in that context, it's good to unpack the meaning.

what's it called when you catch up to latest updates in a serial? Like when you find a web comic and read it at an accelerated pace then catch up to the latest and have to wait week by week for new updates
