@inexcode Alright, thank you very much for the great work you did with that service!

@davoloid @inexcode
How isolated an instance is from the others. Which means how much the people from one instance stay together.
It's the amount of mentions of users from other instances divided by the total amount of mentions.

This provides no information regarding how wide the network of the instance is, since you might have a very low insularity with just one federated instance. This might be the case of a small instance in a very specific field which often addresses users from the same field in a larger instance.

@lucifargundam @inexcode @users
Thanks! I'm not too interested in just how many users subscribed though; I'm searching something a little bit more specific.

@inexcode I'm not sure, insularity does show up and it is what I'm interested in.
Since everything appears to be a bit broken though I do not trust it as a reliable measurement.
If you tell me that's still working then it's great!

Once upon a time fediverse.social allowed to check the insularity of an instance.
Unfortunately the website is broken and the software is now unmaintained.
Do you know any other service providing statistics about mastodon instances?

@GustavinoBevilacqua Damn, I should stop getting my news from the packaging of the products I buy.

I'd better do another #introduction with the new influx of folx into #fediverse.

Is it true that in Belgium you don't recycle aluminium? That sounds absurd to me...

Complimenti all'autore 😉

Being a bit of a newbie (like most of us are!), here's a 'how to...?' question. Something like ecoevo.social would be a relevant instance for me but I already switched instances once, am not too unhappy with being in a general science one, and would like to avoid switching instances continually. So: is there an easy way for me to see a list of all ecoevo.social members without being a member oneself? That would make it easier to start following people I'm likely to want to follow.....

L'ONU stigmatizza il problema della poverofobia. Per chi mastica il francese e vuole approfondire la questione segnalo anche un volume bellissimo ed istruttivo del forum belga contro le disuguaglianze, che ha prodotto anche una serie web.

@gubi Mamma mia, in tal caso allora è molto incompetente chi ha provato a fornire una tale spiegazione.
Inoltre, è abbastanza deplorevole fornire delle spiegazioni così errate alla popolazione che invece dovrebbe fidarsi delle tue parole.

@oblomov @atomicpoet I'm actually quite surprised they're not doing that already.
Their competitors are investing pretty hard in openstreetmaps to lower the value of Google Maps.
I think the investment in openstreetmaps is overall quite good for the project itself.

I guess Google might be better off paying some developers to work for the fediverse to improve the systems and so on rather than opening their own instance.
They won't be making money off off it, but if that helps taking down the user base of Twitter, that will make them more prominent among the other tech companies.

@gubi Non ho capito l'affermazione del ministro, scusate ma ultimamente sto tralasciando parecchio i giornali italiani e quello che so lo leggo da quelli spagnoli...
Intendeva che nonostante la legge possa essere applicata in altre situazioni questo non sarebbe avvenuto?
Perché questo sarebbe gravissimo, le leggi si fanno lì, ma non si decide in parlamento come vadano applicate.
Casomai si scrivono le leggi bene in modo che vengano applicate come ci si aspettava.

@entreprecariat @raphv@social.apreslanu.it I'd be interested in knowing how you'd publish a zettelkasten for others to read.
I have seen some examples, but in general zettelkasten seems like a terrible way to share information with other people.

@entreprecariat Just dump all stuff in here, make sure that the first post is public and all the other ones are marked as unlisted.
When you make a new toot reply to the last one and make it public so that other people see that.

Alternatively, you can publish everything detached without a thread and link them with a common hashtag

@rastinza Since you personally don't like favourites, I'm just acknowledging your comments - thanks! ;)

@Jeroenson Cool, my sister just started studying university over there.
I hope I'll soon be able to go visit her, also to visit the university and meet the wonderful research groups I've been told about.
