As a pacifist, what I love most about the Fediverse is how it feels like a shared search for peace. We have Caturday, when everyone posts cat pictures every Saturday. There's Mosstodon, which is all about sharing beautiful photos of moss and nature. And we have SilentSunday, where people post calm outdoor and nature photos. Even with all the chaos in the world, the Fediverse has a way of calming my mind.
@rolle Brazilian fedi has thematic tags for pretty much every day of the week:
#segundaficha - Monday, to share videogames you like.
#tercinema - Tuesday, to share movies.
#tersoftware - Tuesday, to share great software#quartacapa - Wednesday, to share good books or other reads.
#rabisquarta - Wednesday, to share your drawings.#musiquinta - Thursday, to share good music.
#sextaserie - Friday, to share TV series.
#sabafoto - Saturday, to share any cool photos you took.

Catposting is definitely not limited to Saturdays!

hi, not tagging you because I'm sorry for hijacking and don't want op getting unwelcome replies: I too love a good hashtag that brings me lots of images I'm looking for, but I very quickly run into an error429 message if I'm scrolling through images. Does that happen to you guys too or is it just my .ie server being overwhelmed?
429 means the server you're using is getting too many requests.
It's supposed to mean specifically that it's getting too many requests *from you*. The first digit, 4, means it's an error resulting from something that you did. (For example, the common error 404 happens when you request a file that doesn't exist.)
But I've seen a server send me 429 when someone else was overloading it. I think that server was improperly set up. But it can happen.

@rolle I think this is just a product of its demographic. The people who come to Mastodon, from what I’ve observed, are largely left-leaning, tech-oriented (or tech-critical) millennials, maybe next would be Gen Xers, and then last would be older Gen Z folk like myself. So the “old social media” sensibilities are reignited.
When Fedi becomes viable social media for the mainstream, I worry that stuff might be harder to find and experience.

️@argv_minus_one yes, I'm sure that's exactly what it's telling me, as it only happens if I try yo view a hashtag that brings up images, like #silentsunday or something. I can scroll down through about 10 or 15 posts before they go blank and clicking on an image will bring that error message up. I was just wondering if that's people's normal experience of mastodon? Or is it down to my phone or my server specific?

I don't think you need to worry. What we believe to be the normal discourse on social media today is to an extremely large degree the result of "interaction-promoting" algorithms (to raise ad views) abused by troll factories that have as a mission to sow discord and pit factions against eachother. The large platforms try to not do anything about this due to ... ad view numbers going up, and number of user accounts also going up to please their investors.
The fediverse is completely free from those incentives. Not only by being non-algorithmic and ad-free, but also because fediverse instance operators have no interest in "number of user (trolls) go up" - that's just a cost. We remove them on sight.

️@argv_minus_one good question, I kind of think 429 is still better than some generic 503
Can I give “Retry-After” with 5xx error codes and will it be understood?
Besides:
> Note that this specification does not define how the origin server identifies the user, nor how it counts requests. For example, an origin server that is limiting request rates can do so based upon counts of requests on a per-resource basis, across the entire server, or even among a set of servers.
