Activity Hub - Follow Mastodon account?


Hello, I just joined Friendica on social.trom.tf and I'm a little confused.

I thought Friendica was part of Activity Hub but under Protocols I don't see Activity Hub. and when I type a Mastodon account in Search eg my own: ,@Fiona Gregory it doesn't find it.

Should I be able to follow a Mastodon account on Friendica?

in reply to fionag11

Yes Friendica uses the activitypub and more. It is compatible to pretty much any network. What you see there is a filter in case you want to filter the posts based on the protocol ;)

Thanks, Tio! I just tried again to search and follow my Mastodon account, and lo and behold, it now worked and "Activity Pub" has shown up in the list of Protocols 😊

Sorry to shock everyone but no, you do not get a cold from the AC....you do not get it from cold air, air current, drinking cold water, snow, or any of these "cold" things. It is unfortunate that it is called "cold". People are confused by that I guess.

I keep on hearing more and more people complaining that they got a cold from the AC and I want to rip my head off :D. The "cold" is a virus infection. Period.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_c…

Here a short and scientific video about it youtu.be/fyO5AA65h8U

So no, there is no evidence that cold temperatures decrease your immune system's ability to cop with a viral infection, unless you may have hypothermia and then you have more problems than the virus.

I thought this is a myth only found in Romania, where I am from originally, but I've met people from Belgium to South America who believe this.

But, hear me out... What about draft? (not the military one, the "air streaming between open windows" kind)

In Serbia, it's common knowledge that draft is the deadliest thing on God's green Earth.

Sensing a bit of draft on your skin is looking Death in the eye.

in reply to Luka Rubinjoni

Yah I've heard of this eastern european daft....it is deadly. agree!
in reply to Tio

Being in cold weather can make my nose clogged sometimes, but yeah that's different from an actual viral cold 🤔
