Some years back I enjoyed Pinterest. I recently visited again but now it only seems to be full of ads and "you can buy this and this and that as seen in the image".
Now I wonder: Is there a Fediverse alternative to Pinterest? Something that lets you collect and organize images into boards/collections/scrapbooks? With a feed curated to your interests based on the stuff you collected or on tags you set?

#Calckey question:
If I am viewing a #Mastodon post in my browser on its original site, what's the easiest way to open that post on my Calckey instance so I can reply?
For Mastodon I can just add "elk.zone/" to the beginning of the URL, or use one of the myriad of redirect browser extensions. Is there a Calckey equivalent? I think that's the last feature I need before fully switching over.

Is there an easy way to see what the #CharacterLimit of a particular Mastodon server is without joining it?

Woke up to getting spammed by a few accounts from mastodon.social. 🙄 I know this is partly why so many instances defederate from them but I’ve never gotten any grief myself until now. I can’t seem to remove the notifications from my notifications feed, is there a way to do that? (I blocked both accounts). #fediquestions #mastodonquestions

Fedi use question for fedifriends: in my Mastodon app (Toot!), I can browse the home feeds of some servers but others require a login. I only have this one account so far. Is browsing a server (read-only) based on server preferences or is there something I’m not understanding about how servers work? #fediquestions #servers
Question for people who use #PeerTube. Are there any instances that are music-specific and/or that let you set videos to private on your account but embeddable on your website (as Vimeo does, for things like subscriber-only videos) rather than just unlisted? #FediQuestions #Fediverse #FediTips #Question #Peertubers

Why can't #mastodon sites load the original page directly instead of telling me to go to the original website?

What's the mechanism for getting alt text from a Mastodon post to stay with the image when that post gets imported to somewhere else? Is there a way to do it?

If two mastodon accounts get merged, will the parameters of one account override the other?
Eg. if account X has 30 followers, and gets moved to account Y with 100 followers, will the merged/final account Z have 130 followers? 100? 30?

Newbie question ...... not even sure how to put it into words.
Is there something a new instance must do or their admin must do, to be included in features like @ searches, # searches, or the "trending toots?"
I have noticed some of my friends on brand new (recently set up) servers don't show up when I look for them in searches.
Asking for me -- I would love to be able to randomly shuffle the timeline since I last looked -- posts, boosts, etc.. Is there any method at the moment for this?

Out of curiosity, for (a) scientific research, (b) potentially investigative & (c) historical purposes, how is archival for the entire (growing) fediverse, not just mastodon, being/going to be handled? I’m guessing this is different from platforms like reddit or twitter since those are more centralized. Should it be done? Would it be handled per instance? Should there be opt-in or opt-out for each instance/user? #internetarchive #fediverse #fediquestions #fedihelp #socialscience #compsocsci

Can I hide replies that were published globally by other people? I want to stop seeing whole threads.
When I reply and set visibility to followers only - can mentioned people still see the reply when they are not followers? If not is there a way to achieve this?

Can I organize my follower or following lists alphabetically or something? Is it organized by when I started following them?

I run a couple of YouTube channels and a few years ago I dabbled in odysee - what's the difference between odysee and peertube? Anyone? Or are they the same idea (peer to peer video sharing?)
