  1. To those who’ve set up #followRequests: Don’t be surprised if you’re currently receiving lots of requests from accounts that appear empty or look familiar.

    There’s a major wave of users #migrating, particularly away from mstdn.ca (hashtag). The admin 🧵 : mastodon.online/@[email protected]
    When someone migrates, the request is sent again and it takes a while for the #followers to appear on the new profile. It takes also time that you can see content. fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

  2. The #RedEyedVireo was one of our far-away visitors here in #Maine!

    Backyard Bird of the Month for May: Red-eyed Vireo
    by Andy Kapinos

    Birds, Maine's Naturalist, News & Notes · April 30, 2024

    "Here I am! Where are you? Way up here! In the tree! So goes the song of the Red-eyed Vireo, heard in nearly every forested area between Kittery and Fort Kent from May until early autumn. True neotropical migrants, Red-eyed Vireos spend the nonbreeding season in the #AmazonBasin, especially in Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Most depart South America during April, and over the course of a few weeks or a month, make their way up through Central America and the southeastern US, #migrating on clear nights and refueling during the day by feasting on the abundance of newly-emerged insects. The first males can reach Maine by the first week of May, but the majority arrive in the second and third weeks, just in time for the emergence of leaves and insects in the canopy of our forests.

    "These canopy-dwellers are heard far more often than they are seen, and possess a huge vocal repertoire, combining various “syllables” into “phrases” that don’t repeat. In fact, there is often no similarity between the songs of males whose territories are right next to each other. While the males generally sing from treetops, Red-eyed Vireos forage and nest in the mid- and understory, and require forest habitat with layers of native shrubs and small trees. Their nests are usually built at these lower levels, with layers of foliage above to hide the nest from predators. They raise their young on insects, especially caterpillars and other larvae, before eating increasing amounts of fruit later in the summer, which they subsist on throughout the nonbreeding season. The return of Red-eyed Vireos to their breeding territories in Maine is a yearly reminder that conserving healthy forest #ecosystems is important not only here at home, but also in the neotropical #forests where they spend the rest of their lives."

  3. So I don't know who follows the #reddit drama, but the company is killing its #API ahead of its IPO (OMG).

    There are probably a few million people who primarily interact with the content through 3rd party apps, websites, and tools. A large number of those are power users and #mods. Over the next month, it is likely that we will see a big influx of new #users #migrating from reddit as they lose access to the features they depend on.

    I'm fairly active over there, but I'm not sure what we can do to help people #onboard.

    If you are new from reddit, or just exploring feel free to ask me any questions

  4. These Nomadic herders have migrated with reindeer for generations.

    But traditions are changing – along with the place they call home.
