Well, they should have put the pic of the male on the left and the female on the right then, just so they're not adding to any possible "confusion".

The wrong instance is in that Mention, so maybe there was an auto-complete error.

Wordpress if that is counted as federated

It's an option for the blog owners to select, but it's more federated than Loops (which currently isn't federated at all). As a random example, here is a Wordpress blog post that was federated out to Mastodon, and then federated out to PieFed.

Do all filters have that 3 level system?

Yes - that Trump/Musk form is just a shortcut to setting up your own filter - the options on that form equate to 'hide completely', 'make semi-transparent' (so you can see the post, but it's faded out), or "don't set up a filter"

Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed?

There's the one I made (the one linked to by OpenStars), but I think the more promising development is that the Interstellar dev has made some progress supporting PieFed too (Interstellar is already the only app that supports both MBIN and Lemmy, and I like the idea of one app for 3 different platforms).

As a term, 'instance' is already baked into code, databases, and APIs.

If I wanted to use an API to block 'lemmy.world', for example, I'd call 'site/block' with the relevant 'instance_id'. That's already 2 different terms for the same thing ('site' and 'instance'), which isn't great, but adding 'provider' into the mix means you're now saying "if you want to block a 'provider', use the 'site' endpoint with the ID for the 'instance'", which is arguably worse.

Ah, no. Sadly not. It installed okay, but just presents a big white window when I ran it. The OS version is BigSur (the highest that machine will run).

I doubt it's an Issue you'll need to prioritise, 'cos others in my position have likely just installed Linux instead.

Looks great! Is there any info about what architecture / OS versions are supported for Mac? The only Apple hardware I have is a 12 year old MacBook Air (I realise I could just download it and find out, but that would involve me getting up off the sofa). Thanks.

No, you're right. It's just how it sounds with Sanders' distinct accent.
