Is that instance-level filters in the local timeline ?
I've seen the same with mastodon tagged posts.

Qoto != Goto
Yet, when first I glanced at Qoto, I saw Goto, that infamous statement responsible for mountains of spaghetti code. I then saw what it really stood for and immediately signed up.

Qoto, to me, means to learn or teach ourselves. How else really? Watching or hearing do not quite measure up to reading, especially physical books that you hold. In bed, paperbacks are preferred; hardcovers can be dangerous if you’re drowsy.😩

The best way I found to see if I’ve learned something from reading is to write down a synopsis. Not so easy. How about writing something original? I have great admiration for all writers of: , stories, , cook books, text books, technical specifications, how-to books, etc. etc. I’d go out on a limb and say, the art of writing is significantly more difficult than either creating a painting or composing a piece of music. Please note that I said art, not science.

In this internet age, much of our reading is in snippets. TL;DR
So, here’s a poll for the longest time you’ve spent reading in one sitting recently. (excepting this toot)

@obi @hartree @ambihelical
As far as I am aware of, the blocked portion is largely untrue.
Dynamic resources/stats in old link:::
qoto.org/@freemo/1051667745886

only blocks instances that attacks it's own members. Qoto _is_ blocked by servers that don't want to federate with those who defederate with others for personal reasons.

If you go to the resources, you can view the updated lists of Qoto is federated with. Mastodon.social is one of them.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I _am_ curious as to what servers are supposedly blocking Qoto. @freemo do you know of any recent events with our neighbors?

@obi Another similar option is Firefox Monitor, which integrates with Firefox's built-in password manager to automatically alert you if any saved account credentials were in a breach:
monitor.firefox.com/

Has everyone checked to see if their credentials have been pwned? I hadn't in years, but check the other day, and I'm all clear. But my wifes email and passwords were exposed in 6 data breaches, and my mother in-law's in 17! Always good to know, and change passwords if necessary.

To further enrich your newsfeed, make use of the 'Domain Subscription' tool available under 'Follow and followers' selection at the lower left of your Profile page. If a bunch of people you follow have their profiles on another server, chances are that the local community is home to others sharing their interests. By entering a subscription to their server, the local newsfeed they receive will be shared in your feed. Over time, you will then be able to pick out others to follow and correspond with.
