Fediverse Getting Started – May 2023
I decided to re-write and republish this, so the post can focus on the wider picture of what the Fediverse is.
This has been undertaken following comments / conversations on # Mastodon about people not actually referring to the # Fediverse directly, of which # Mastodon is one of many services. A different video is presented below, along with an infographic and # Hastags to the services listed This list has also been added to the # index page.

The Linux Experiment: How to use Mastodon
I have scheduled this post to tie in nicely with my previous post which explains why I feel it is good that I left Twitter.
Another really useful guide on how to use Mastodon which is part of the Fediverse, social network of decentralised services.
Unless you have been living in a cave, you should have heard of this by now.

Embedding Mastodon Posts
By default. When you embed a post from mastodon in to a WriteAs blog the default width is 400.
I am going to use the embed from my previous post as an example
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="400" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Changing the width to 600 results in, as you would expect a wider post which fits really nicely.
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
We can go further and add a height element too.
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="600" height="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Which allows more of the post to be displayed.
This can, and should be adjusted for better fit, depending on size of the post being embedded.
Hope this is useful to people.
