Trump’s Truth Social is based on Mastodon (even if with federation and syndication disabled), and the POTUS Threads profile iirc has ActivityPub enabled. Also wasn’t Germany that also adopted for some government profiles fediverse-compatible services? Or some other EU country. Still, if the neighbors and ideological allies of Canada already tapped into such projects, I’d say it’s no longer uncharted territory.

The German Goverment has a Mastodon instance:

Hi, new to the fediverse, mainly looking at Lemmy and mastodon right now through mbin, liking it very much.

I’m a Japanese language learner, currently at N3 and wanted to look at some fediverse content in that language. Keep hearing about misskey, but registration is limited from outside of Japan? I’m going over there next month, does that mean I could open an account while I’m there?

Also a bit confused about how it works, when browsing as a guest everything seems to scroll at lightning speed, how is one supposed to use it?

But if you follow enough users, won’t you start getting quite a good amount of that? Plus, you can probably just browse the local of some Misskey instance and then, if you want to comment or upvote, open it from within your own instance? It won’t be perfect, but I would imagine it will do the job just fine for a student.

One thing that I forgot: Misskey has feature of instance-only post, which means a lot of people post won’t federate.

As for spell checking, Microsoft Word, at least when it was more akin to a product, was pretty good at that. There’s also LLMs if you don’t have a problem with them, though I strongly suggest asking multiple ones just in case the one you ask decides to have a fever dream.

As for why wanting to make something, reminds me of the Ancient Greeks, which afaik thought immortality came from being remembered. Dunno if it’d be your case, but I find it an interesting line of thought.

Starbound might be a good call for modding. Minecraft uses Java while Starbound uses LUA, and from my experience, LUA is far more human-readable, which could help mitigate @grumpy404@piefed.zip’s dyslexia-related issues.

As for cooking, it could also be worth videos of the process or other pertinent elements, as well as blog posts.

or just play around with random notes to see what sounds good

Apparently Nobuo Uematsu made it a few segments at a time, putting them together as they seemed fit.

Poetry is short and simple, really releases all your emotions

(Examples: !ocpoetry@piefed.social)

Or short stories

Or sometimes I work on my memoir (which I constantly find myself procrastinating on lol) and try to paint the scene with words… and like just writing and proofreading really takes me back though the “memory-time-machine” and I feel that moment, remember the happiness of that moment.

That’s fun!

Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.

I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I’m deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.

I’d genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I’m all about!

A paper-crafting how-to book (think of the type of thing you probably would’ve seen on the shelves at a Book Fair for an example of that) would be by far one of the simplest things you could do, and as some authors like Richard Scarry used to show, you could depict that using anthro animals of some description too.
