A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Where do I start with setting up something like you have?
@SaintPaul Well, IDK the specifics of following a user on Lemmy because I'm only a Mastodon user, but finding content on other platforms I can do. You just pick largish servers since those tend to be well-federated and type hashtags into their search bar. Like I went to Calckey's flagship instance just now to search for nature pics, so I typed in #nature and it gave me a bunch of nature pics from a variety of platforms (though mostly from Mastodon and Pixelfed). From there if you see content you like you build up a follow list. Nothing too complicated. Other platforms like Mastodon and Calckey also give you the option to subscribe to hashtags if you prefer that.

There's a link if you want to take a gander for yourself.
Thanks very much for the info, that's super interesting.
I'm very techy both from my job and other interests and the fediverse seems a little daunting to me but at least I have a starting place to start exploring, thanks for the links and info!
@malachy Glad to help! I've wanted a workable alternative to corporate social media for like 10 years at this point, so I'm happy to see an increased interest in Fediverse platforms.
