QUESTION: What is the QOTO term for the stuff at the "bottom" of a QOTO page? -- see qoto.org/about/more

The internet has a specific vocabulary; and in that context, the Mastodon world has developed its own unique set of terms.

For example, what I'm typing now is called a "toot" in many, not all, parts of the developing Mastodon federation. However, it could have a different QOTO name.

Having established a context for my question, will someone please tell me the QOTO term or name for the recurring collection of hyperlinks which appear on this page at the bottom of the column at the right of my monitor screen?

Is the QOTO term unoriginal or standard across the internet? Or is it unique to this site?

There is similar set of hyperlinks at the bottom of many home pages -- for example, see this familiar format on the German home page (startseite) of the German Finance Ministry (Bundesministerium der Finanze) bundesfinanzministerium.de/Web

QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?

@chikara I will post a screen capture here for reference. I think the group of links you see there are standard accross places running the Mastodon software.

BTW, Mastodon is only one of the possible software packages in use around our new network = the Fediverse.

Federated Universe, in my free translation, I imagine the term came from that. Pleroma is quite similar to mastodon in terms of use, but has unique features. And there are other packages for discussion forums, video hosting, etc.

List of Pleroma sites if you want to take a look at one: distsn.org/pleroma-instances.h

I am not sure what the common name of that Footer series of hyperlinks would be, but refering to it as the Footer might help.
