A while back I built a site that converts RSS feeds to ActivityPub actors that you can subscribe to from Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compliant social networks: https://bots.tinysubversions.com/convert/

I've now also published the source code: https://github.com/dariusk/activtypub-to-rss

Did you know that you can backup all your data in a file with #Fedilab?
It allows you to transfer them from a device to another one. The import feature is available in the login page too. No need te reconnect all your accounts.
You will keep your tag timelines, followed instances and bookmarks too. #tip

Hey, Mastodon. I'm new here, trying to find a way out of my dependence on unsustainable software and add-driven social media. I'm wondering if there are anyone discussing how to inspire the masses to move out of Twitter/FB/Insta/Google etc? I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Hi, I'm doing commissions for musical stuff such as mixing/mastering and music making, please reach me if you need my services, I have experience in chiptune and electronic music. Please consider retooting for visibility.

yesterday someone sent me a random message - a positive affirmation - and it melted me on what was a day full of annoyance and feelings of futility.

It reminded me how easy it is to say or do a nice thing, and how the impact can be far more that we can know.

I finally started getting past my ego defenses in my thirties, and life got fascinating. I think learning to learn and owning that I didn't know are the two skills I'd like to go back and teach younger me.*

Question: is there a name for those lighted writeable boards one sees in submarine movies? It kinda looks like this one. And what is the markers' ink made of?
