Not sure about the top and bottom ones, but I’m pretty sure those @a.gup.pe ones are Mastodon “groups”. They’re a reflector that you tag into a post to have it shared to its followers across all instances, rather than just your local instance (as with hashtags).
They’re a workaround for one of the limitations in Mastodon, but they work. I expect they’d appear empty if viewed in Lemmy.

I run this in a Docker container on my home network without connecting it to their cloud platform (despite their - increasingly strident, it feels - “encouragements” to do so). It’s very powerful, and the majority of low level configuration is done via text files. But 99% of it is automatic.
The UI is unique. It’s a single, long and scrollable page, which may be an issue for some.
There are other tools out there, too. I previously used one that integrates Grafana, Prometheus and Node Exporter, which is more complex to set up and configure.
This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.
To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.
YMMV. 🤷🏽♂️
Finally. I’ve been using <blah>.arpa ones for years.
Two of my favourites are:
- I’m touching cloth.
- Dropping the kids off at the pool.
It’s a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.
Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you’re not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄
