Chuck Lawton<p>I did it. 42.2Km, a full marathon. It was so hard, I still can’t describe it. First 28K were great. I was in the flow state, and barely remember it. But my knees started throbbing and my feet felt heavy after 30K, and it was a slog of speed walking and slow jogging to still try to make the 5hr race cutoff. In the end I was close enough and was able to log my finish and get my medal. I’m glad I did it, but my body’s just not built for this. Still so proud of the effort! <a href="https://nerdfoo.dev/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://nerdfoo.dev/tags/goals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goals</span></a></p>

Fi<p>Goals for today, the realistic version. </p><p>1) Get through the day. </p><p>2) Sort out meds for the next 7 days. </p><p>3) Book transport for the theatre on the 9th that I don't know if I will be capable of going to (A long day and a lot of walking). </p><p>4) Get some fresh air. </p><p>5) Repot a couple of plants - that might be too much though. </p><p>I really hate how much smaller my world is becoming and these new limitations on what I can do. Fighting off that spiralling sense of misery is exhausting.

Fred Rocha<p><strong>How I use Mastodon in 2025</strong></p><p>These are exciting times to be on <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a>, one of the flavours of the Fediverse. Things are evolving fast, towards a space worthy of healthier online debate and exchange. Some of these conversations can be found <a href="https://mastodon.social/@john_fisherman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on my own profile</a>, if you’re curious.</p><p>Here are some of the cool things I have discovered Mastodon lets you do. If you’ve found some neat integrations or solutions, please do let me know in the comments. I am curious.</p><p><strong>What I use</strong></p><p>So, given that Mastodon does not have an Algorithm to keep you hooked on the platform, you are in control of what you read. If you decide not to drink from the firehose — sorted chronologically — of all the posts of all your followers, you can use <strong>Lists</strong>. With Lists you can maintain a group of people that usually write on a specific topic, or simply those whose posts you deem more relevant.</p>Lists I maintain on Mastodon. “Cream” are “VIP for me”. “Folks” are people I’ve met IRL.<p>If you use the web version of Mastodon, you can <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mastodons-tweetdeck-style-advanced-web-interface/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">turn on column view in the settings</a> and see all your lists, searches or hashtags in columns, Tweetdeck (RIP) style. To come back to this view, add “/deck” to your instance name (<a href="https://mastodon.social/deck/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here is the example for mastodon.social</a>). This way you can have an overview of your lists, like so:</p><p> Because Mastodon is a stable and open platform built on top of ActivityPub, people are using it to create diverse and cool stuff. If you miss an Algorithm automated curation, <a href="https://phanpy.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phanpy</a> is a thoughtfully designed web application, that will make your catching up with the world a joy.</p>Phanpy will display a bit of curation within your own personal feed.<p>Mastodon also plays well with the rest of the open web. Any account on Mastodon can be converted into an RSS feed simply by adding “.rss” to its Mastodon profile link. Mindblowing, I know. Let’s try this with Zeldman’s Mastodon profile link. We start from <a href="https://front-end.social/@zeldman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://front-end.social/@zeldman</a>, add “.rss” to it and get <a href="https://front-end.social/@zeldman.rss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://front-end.social/@zeldman.rss</a>. Insert this link into your favorite RSS reader, and watch the magic happen.</p>Read Zeldman’s Mastodon posts on your RSS reader.<p>When I’m searching for snappy inspiration, want to get a feeling for the <em>Zeitgeist</em>, or have a fleeting idea I want to share with the world, I launch <a href="https://apps.gnome.org/Tuba/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tuba</a> on my Ubuntu install. It’s a great Mastodon client, and a perfect example of <a href="https://fredrocha.net/2025/02/28/ubuntu-gnome-apps-i-use/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a well-executed Gnome app</a>.</p><p>One of the strongest points of Mastodon is also one of its main weaknesses. Content is federated in multiple instances, which means there is no single point of failure. No evil billionaire can simply acquire it and turn it to shit, and instances can refuse to federate with other instances (such as the Nazi next door, Threads by Meta, or both). </p><p>The downside of this design decision is that onboarding the application and following people in different instances can be daunting, particularly for newcomers. If you’re starting a new account, keep it simple and use <a href="https://mastodon.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mastodon.social</a>. If you want to get more creative, try finding a community in which you would fit right in, such as one dedicated to people on the indie web, fans of knitting or journalists. Make your content searchable for optimal discovery by <a href="https://front-end.social/@sarajw/112947932091896764" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">turning it on in the settings</a> (h/t to <a href="https://sarajoy.dev/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sara Joy</a>). If you want to follow someone on another instance, the standard is to copy/paste their instance profile link into the search of your own Mastodon account. But there is another way.</p>Graze detected that Silvio Lorusso was on Mastodon and suggested I follow him, <a href="https://silviolorusso.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">directly on his website</a>. Priceless stuff.<p>Graze is a browser extension (<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/graze/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I use the one for Firefox</a>) that makes it simpler to follow people on other instances, with just one click. Their most recent update even adds a little overlay at the bottom of pages if it detects a Mastodon account out in the wild. Discover as you browse, sweet move. <a href="https://streetpass.social/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">StreetPass</a> has a similar concept, and I am just learning about it.</p><p>One last feature worth mentioning is verification. If you have your own domain, you can verify your Mastodon account, simply by saying these belong to the same person (you). <a href="https://fredrocha.net/2022/12/01/how-to-get-your-profile-verified-on-mastodon/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All you need is a rel=”me” link on the HTML of your website</a>.</p><p><strong>What I’d love to use</strong></p><p>In an ideal world I would mostly post from my website and have the discussions occur anywhere on the fediverse and still be readable as extensions of the post here on <a href="https://fredrocha.net" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fredrocha.net</a>. This is the best of both worlds, in which I can <a href="https://fredrocha.net/2016/08/31/publish-once-syndicate-everywhere/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">POSSIE</a> and still have a diversity of ideas and perspectives in the conversation. I’m trying to figure out how ActivityPub, Webmentions and other technologies can work together to achieve that, specifically in the context of a WordPress install. <a href="https://mastodon.social/deck/tags/goals" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goals</a></p><p><strong>Some accounts to follow</strong></p><p>If you are new to the platform and are looking for some solid accounts to follow, here’s a living list (this might or not be a selection of my “Cream” and “Folks” lists, we’ll never know): </p><ul><li><a href="https://indieweb.social/@maggie" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://indieweb.social/@maggie</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.social/@adactio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@adactio</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.au/@kaib" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.au/@kaib</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.social/@jamez" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@jamez</a></li><li><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral</a></li><li><a href="https://front-end.social/@chriscoyier" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://front-end.social/@chriscoyier</a></li><li><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic</a></li><li><a href="https://w3c.social/@timbl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://w3c.social/@timbl</a></li><li><a href="https://www.404media.co" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co</a></li></ul><p>Join the fun, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@john_fisherman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">say hi</a>!</p> <p>I sometimes send out a tiny update.
