Side note : it’s nice to see that Mastodon reached the point where you could point at it for stuff completely unrelated to Mastodon. Good job HN!

- snowwrestler 4y agoIt’s funny though, one consequence of the federation is that the domain name on the link gives you no clue you’re going to see Mastodon when you click it. (Unlike centralized services like Twitter or Facebook.) If you wanted to see all the Mastodon links posted to HN, you’d have to either start with a list of all known Mastodon server domains and search those, or scrape all the links and pick out the ones that land on a Mastodon instance.
- paulmd 4y agoI'm seeing increasing usage on discord as well, in the usual exchange-of-memes process. Things that would have been tweet links are now mastodon links. This is probably significantly increasing the discoverability of mastodon pods. I previously had no idea what pods to join, now I can see what pods the people in my discords are active in or consuming content from.
