I've tried many search engines over the years (most of those listed here) but have settled on DDG for my daily searches. I have not used google for at least ten years now.

The situation is so dire that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is running out of bandages.
βAnd what that has meant is that a 13-year-old child who has 50 to 60 percent burns on his body was not able to get sufficient bandage changes for wound cleaning, which then resulted in him having blood poisoning and exhibiting signs of early sepsis. Heβs in the ICU.β
With over 600,000 new Sudanese refugees in Chad and more streaming in every day, underfunded humanitarian agencies are struggling to provide adequate assistance.

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?
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 π
