Is there any way to check what instances are federating with what other instances? Like, if I’m here on mastodon.social and I want to see a list of instances we are blocking and federating with? Is this something I can see somewhere? I see people posting about blocks and what not, but I’d like to be able to check. Thanks to anyone who knows! #fediblocked #federation #fediverse

Alexandre Tansman celebrates his 125th birthday this year. After becoming French citizen in 1920 he fled with the help of Charlie Chaplin in 1941 to the US, becoming a reknown movie composer ( Oscar nominee in 1945), returned to Paris in 1946 where he lived until his death in 1986. He wrote a biography about his friend Stravinsky. He composed symphonies, concerti, chambre music, for piano and guitar. Which pieces do you know ?
