@JimmyChanga @Dracocide @fuck_cars That would be me. I hadn't cycled for at least 13 years but started again last year (on the same old bike, that my mom had kept!)

@Mcballs1234 If there was a bus or train connecting you to the mall and groceries in less then 15 minutes, at any time of the day, would you still prefer to buy online?
@Mango7874 Lemmy and Mastodon are different project but both speak the same protocol (the same "language") so messages can be exchanged between both. Kinda like following a Twitter user using a Facebook account or a Youtube account, and still being able to like and comment. This is the magic trick of the Fediverse: multiple websites, multiple servers, different interfaces, but all using the same protocol (speaking the same language)
@roho @cyclohexane My understanding about instances blocking a lot and isolating is that these are marginalized communities who just want a space where they can be themselves. The whole world is already telling them loudly that there are different opinions. They just want a moment of peace.
@TimothyMcFuck Basically it re-share the post to your own timeline. Kinda like sharing the link to a post.
If you want to see an example in action, you can take a look at my mastoton profile

and you'll see some posts that are from different users. These are posts that I boosted (re-shared)
@JimmyChanga It's very useful for the groceries or any stores that are 15-30 minutes walk distance, to turn that into a 5-10 minutes affair!
