"More than 10 percent of the U.S. land area, according to ecologist Alice Outwater, may have been #beaver-constructed wetlands when [Piere-Esprit] Radisson showed up [in 1658], which amounts to more than 300,000 square miles. When the beaver were rapidly pulled from the #LakeSuperior #watershed and their furs sent to Europe, their old dams collapsed."

Okay, it's time to tell new users a secret about Mastodon.

Mastodon is (whispers) part of a much bigger network 😮

Mastodon servers use an open standard called ActivityPub to talk to each other. That's how you interact with people on other Mastodon servers.

But, dozens of other federated networks also use ActivityPub, so (this is the good bit!) you can follow people on these other networks from your Mastodon account!

For example:

PixelFed (https://pixelfed.org) is a photo sharing network, here's a random example account @Iancylkowski

PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org) is a video sharing network, with a p2p system that allows videos to go viral even on small servers, here's a random account @craftykat

BookWyrm (https://joinbookwyrm.com) is a social reading site, an open alternative to Amazon's Goodreads, here's a random account @mouse

Together, Mastodon and these other services form... The Fediverse

@foolman @teamsauerteig @brotbacken First 30 mins at 230C in a dutch oven followed by 15ish minutes without the dutch oven lid. Of course the dutch oven can be replaced by baking with a steam source of your choice for the first 30 minutes 🙌
