When joining or returning to a service with potentially hundreds of servers, it's possible to get mixed-up about what part of the network you joined on. Pixelfed has a handy new feature to put you on the right path again.

Yeah, that's a tough one. I have mixed feelings about it.

What I'd really like to see is a benevolent, impartial non-profit act as an umbrella organization that stewards a lot of this critical infrastructure. Non-profits aren't perfect, and there are lots of questions regarding funding and sponsorships and the ethics of taking money from, say, Meta. But, I think such a thing could be really positive in the right hands.
