Local timeline
@fasnix I tend to use an easier layman term that most folks are used to.. I tell them it's like Twitter/X where you can follow people and they follow you back and that's it. Don't say more. Just let that sink in for them for a moment.. if they have questions about it they will ask..
Describing it in a detailed or technical sense just confuses them.. unless they ask to elaborate in detail..
Good night, Fedizens
I wonder how accessible littleFedi is?
Starting with all the color combinations offered in the different themes (appearance of the timeline and the blog).
I know that you can write your own CSS, but the themes should be accessible in standard settings, without the need to change anything.
@stefano
Connecting using as many different clients as possible.
This is the second one that can't connect.
Technically not your problem, but maybe worth a look ?
Hello little One's 😎 😎
Just got in and trying things out..
It's a little fedi around here! :happy_blob:
It's been two and a half years since I switched to "floor living".
I have a lowered desk, sleep on a thin futon - and have no back pain at all.
If you experience back pain, your too soft mattress could be the cause.

What are your thoughts on this lifestyle? 🤔

I wonder, why noone uses the poll options? 🤔
(I see them in my akkoma account, so technically they're there.)
„If the Social Web isn't just for nerds, why are we saying stuff like this to newcomers:
Okay, so the fediverse is like, a bunch of interconnected servers, all talking to each other. They all use the same open protocol, so the whole network is interoperable, and anybody can self-host their own new server whenever they want. You can get on the fediverse through any server. We call these servers »instances«. If you wanna join fedi, you can just go to this website and pick an instance to sign up through. All the instances are referred to by names like mastodon.social, because we like to use domain names for some reason.
(...)
We must keep this in mind when trying to sell the Social Web to people. Normal people don't know what »federated« means — they didn't watch Star Trek, they just think you're a cop. Normal people really don't know what a protocol is, or what interoperability means. Stop talking like this. I also don't know why we're using the word »instance« to refer to servers. Server is literally easier to understand even for tech people. Even better than server would be »site«, which is the terminology that I tend to use.
Here's a better explanation of the Social Web that actually communicates the idea to a normal person:
The Social Web is like social media away from Big Tech. Instead of being a walled garden where you're trapped, the Social Web is like a bunch of different social media websites connected together. You can pick any site to sign up with, and then you can follow people who signed up on other sites too, so it kind of forms one big network, or online space. If you wanna sign up, you can make a Mastodon account (Mastodon is like, one of the categories/types of sites on the Social Web) at this website. You can use the default option, or pick a different »instance« (site) if you want, too. It doesn't really matter which site you decide to sign up with, since you can always change your mind and move to a different one later.“
