Half the <a class="hashtag" href="https://public.mitra.social/collections/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> isn't mastopub - you should really consider replacing that icon in the panel with the <em><strong>Fediverse Logo</strong></em>, or even the <em><strong>ActivityPub Logo</strong></em> instead of the one you've currently got in that sidebar - It's quite misleading, and people who prefer using the more full featured and capable Fediverse platforms such as <strong>Friendica</strong>, <strong>Mitra</strong>, <strong>Socialhome</strong>, <strong>GoToSocial</strong>, <strong>Takahe</strong>, The <strong>Pleroma</strong> and <strong>Misskey</strong> families of forks, <em><strong>smolweb</strong></em> Fediverse platforms like <strong>Bovine</strong>, <strong>SNAC</strong>, <strong>Tapir</strong>, and many more, ...
