Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?
Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

Quite a lot stands out in the #GNOME 48 release, and while some of the changes which will be immediately apparent are the new default font, notification stacking, and updated window placement, I think improvements like the enhanced apps media apps, performance fixes, and other UI refinements will prove to be much-appreciated advancements.

If you haven't already, we encourage you to try using #GNOME Software or #KDE Discover instead of the Solus Software Center for your package management needs. The more people that test them, the better we can make the experience!
Future ISOs will come with KDE Discover on Budgie, Plasma, and Xfce, and GNOME Software on GNOME.

Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Seizing The Moment - A Desktop For the Modern World
I mean, let's be honest, we know what we're going to talk about.
I wish there was a modifier to Tab that you could hold to jump directly to the next text input, instead of the regular jump to the next interactable element.
The number of times I have to hit Tab multiple times to get across linkes or other stuff to get to what I actually want to do is too damned high.
After wondering why the screen reader wasn't working with Flatpak versions of Chromium and GNOME Web, I figured I should document this somewhere

I guess the obvious answer is to try Pitivi again. I think I’ve been burned by it in the past with it losing a project and waiting a long time for an export to get something that wasn’t accurately following my intended cuts—but maybe it’s gotten better?
Is that the best option for me to try again, or is there something else that works well and looks good on a modern GNOME desktop that I should be looking at?
I just used Kdenlive to edit together a 15-minute video from about an hour of original footage and a few slide overlays. It worked flawlessly. I'm not doing anything wild and crazy—mostly recordings from OBS w/lots of little jumps to cut out “ums,” “uhs,” dead air, and alternate takes. It went really smoothly!
I don’t have a problem using the best tool for a job even if it’s not designed specifically for GNOME, but should I be trying a more GNOME-y app?
