This is Patrick Boyle.

Since the fire has passed through Mallacoota this amazing, selfless young guy has been out searching for injured wildlife. This is one of 7 koalas he's saved so far

The world needs more Patrick's ❤️

Another gem found on fediverse.space.

The Stats for any instance include "Insularity" -- the percentage of all created messages in the instance which are directed to users in the same instance.

I had seen this mentioned, and now confirmed it.

This is what Defederation looks like. Not pretty.

From : https://www.fediverse.space/instance/gab.com

Ever thought of Who and How we connect to #Fediverse neighbours?

** Map and Stats from : https://www.fediverse.space/instance/qoto.org

Visit and zoom in and out for more detail, it's mind boggling. Ctl-+ or Ctl-minus to change map scale.

Larger size to see details: https://i.postimg.cc/7hgB65ny/Qoto-Connections-Map-Jan4-2020-1593x799p.jpg

And I am happy to see I have made a personal connection -- TeDomum.net Write.freely, my blog's home. Is on the map! 😃

* Is it Important, which Instance you are in ? *

Once again I had an enjoyable conversation, earlier today. Achso was there, and we continued a conversation from a day before. We discussed different things, and specially how choosing an instance to fit your needs and preferences is important.

My thoughts on the matter, and a detailed list of some instances I frequent.

On today's web magazine, live at : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/is-it-important-which-instance-you-are-in

Wasn't me only, Todon.nl shows some downtime earlier at fediverse.network.

Their stats show it online, although not for me yet.
Nice to have these tools.

Hola amigos de España, hán visto que teniemos algunas opciones de Crossposters para tracer conteúdo desde Twitter y hacia Mastodon?

Hay várias, para nosotros ahí en Qoto.org recomendaria una llamada Moa -- https://moa.party

Gratuito, solo tienes que elegir algunas opciones y tus posts en twitter puedan aparecir ahi. Con todo el texto, imagines y un enlace al original.

Muy bueno, lo uso yo mismo.

* Puente Moa está a https://moa.party

#Fediverse -- Some people will come and see what is going on here if it keeps growing and getting media reports.

I only joined here in November -- close to 2 months now, but in that short time I went from total newbie to having 3,400 posts or so, Staff position at my main instance, and being part of maybe 10 instances of Mastodon alone.

Plus the wonderful integrated services - love Write.freely!

Insta, I stayed away, always. Dumb people, hashtag binging, bothers me, they are clueless.

Curiously -- I found my curiosity and interest in this Fediverse due to a BBC news report about the Indian Diaspora, from TW to mastodon instances.

Saw it on my rarely visited TW timeline, read the article. Uhm, what is mastodon?

LOL, the rest is #history.... 😜

https://todon.nl is not responding, bummer.

Me, mid way thru and interesting convo. 😞

"No Pasarán!" (they shall not Pass!), a nice photograph, appears to be Madrid, Spain during the 1936 Civil War conflict.

A period not well known in general, but important as it marked the preliminary struggle against Fascism, which evolved into full blown World Wide struggle during WWII period.

Ange posted a nice review of possible Mastodon Clients under Linux, as usual a well written and illustrated piece.

Merci, Ange! Le originel est ici : https://tugaleres.com/2019/03/23/clients-pc-pour-mastodon/

And it's nice to see that the TechnicolorRainbow group is alive and well -- it's the home for the Book club at Hackers.Town instance.

One book a month, to be read by anyone interested, and can be discussed via the @TechnicolorRainbow Group. Neat.

January 2020 Book of the Month is : "Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World" by Joseph Menn.

Ant then, people post some beautiful images with their posts, and you are glad to have caught a glimpse.
