A few things I really liked about this episode:

First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.

Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @emilyyoung@tech.lgbt go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.

Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.

Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.

There’s a problem with that on smaller instances.

You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.

But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the “hashtag experience” depends on the “following experience”.
