Is there a way to graph trending hashtags on mastodon/the Fediverse?

What I'm interested in is to graph say my local city of #Adelaide and use that as a bit of an indicator of if #Mastodon usage and engagemement is growing locally in my town

And yes im interested in data across the fediverse or at least across a few selected servers, as I want data beyond just a single instance.

I can see this on my desktop web interface right now.. so Im guessing there *should* be a way.

If you're thinking of starting a website, it would be best for you to pick a country level domain extension, as opposed to a word-based domain extension.

Corporations can be bought, sold, influenced, regulated, and shutdown, overnight. If avoiding Donald Trump's possible madness is your goal, you don't want to be back into a corner with Corporate America.

Many people, unfortunately, do not read legal documentation. It has become human nature to simply click "OK, I agree".

If more folks did read their terms of services, you would know word-based domain name extensions are not managed the same way as normal with the protection of ICANN.

As it stands now, if Donald Trump really lost his mind, he could shut down much of the Fediverse.

Hey everyone, Lily here, back with another update! Today’s extra special because it's my birthday—yay! I know I haven’t uploaded anything in a while, but I'm cooking up some fresh content just for you. In the meantime, get excited because we’re adding a bunch of cool new emotes to the server.

Just a quick reminder: NSFW accounts and AI bots aren’t allowed here. I’m all about keeping this space safe and fun for everyone. Plus, I’ve got some awesome plans in store to make the server even better.

I also wanted to mention that there’s a ton of drama popping up every day lately. I get it, it's hard not to notice, but I’m taking a break from any call-out posts—not just this week, but for the whole month. Sometimes it’s best to just focus on the positive vibes.

Oh, and before I forget: my moderator account is now verified, and the owner is in the loop with everything. Thanks for sticking with me and being part of this amazing community. More cool updates are on the way, so stay tuned!

TelegramLive: Ukraine🇺🇸 Trump’s advisor Mike Waltz discussed not only strikes against the Houthis but also the war in Ukraine on Signal, reports WSJ. Waltz and U.S. officials held several “sensitive conversations” on Signal about military operations. They also discussed how to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine. However, WSJ sources did not specify whether these chats contained classified information. For now, Waltz remains in his position, though he is losing Trump’s trust. Had the news about the Signal chat first appeared in conservative media, he would have been immediately dismissed. ▪️ The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported that a user named Mike Waltz — the name of Trump’s national security advisor — added him to a closed chat on Signal. High-ranking officials were discussing airstrikes on positions of Yemeni Houthis. Waltz admitted his mistake. 🪐 Subscribe to Live: Ukraine
