If you want to see the "Local" timeline of a Mastodon server, many of them have a "See what's happening" link on their front page. Clicking this shows that server's latest public posts by people from that server. You don't need to be a member to see this page, because the posts shown are only public ones.
For example, you can try it out on https://mastodon.coffee
(Note that some servers have this switched off, or set to show their "Federated" timeline instead of the local one.)
Warum es heuer so starke Pollenwolken gibt
Gelber Staub auf Autos, Fensterbänken und auf dem Balkon: Viele #Bäume blühen heuer besonders intensiv – und das führt zu regelrechten #Pollen'wolken, die durch die Luft geweht werden. Hintergrund ist ein sogenanntes #Mastjahr bei #Fichten – und dass viele Bäume durch die zunehmende #Klimaerwärmung gestresst reagieren.

Profiles and posts on Mastodon and the Fediverse have public versions you can share with people who aren't on the Fediverse.
To see the public version of a profile, click on the profile picture. This will open the public version of the profile in a new tab.
To see the public version of a post, click on the datestamp below the post. This will open the public version of the post in a new tab.
These "public pages" are handy for sharing with friends, because they don't require logging in to see them.
Public pages are also very useful for something else:
If you paste the URL address of a public page into the search box on Mastodon, and then search for it, the post or profile will appear within your server. This is handy if you cannot find a post or person by searching, but you know they exist on another server.
Searching for a URL like this forces your server to "notice" the profile or post.
It also works with URLs from PeerTube, PixelFed etc.
The name #FridayFictioneers is, of course, misleading. It started out with the challenges being posted on Fridays but over time that moved to Wednesdays. The name remained. :)
Time for the #FridayFictioneers, a friendly challenge for 100-word flashfiction.

#Hitzewelle schädigt Korallen des Great Barrier Reef
Die andauergierungsbericht zufolge mehr als 90 Prozent der #Korallen des Great Barrier Reef geschädigt. „Der #Klimawandel schreitet voran, und das #Riff bekommt die Folgen bereits zu spüren“, hieß es in dem Bericht von heute. Von den 719 untersuchten Riffen wiesen dem Bericht zufolge 654 – oder 91 Prozent – einen gewissen Grad an #Korallenbleiche auf.
Learning a language with the help of micro-fiction
Me and @deadwitchflying are doing something fun. I came across a micro-fic, in french, and we had been talking about me trying to learn french etc etc, and well I suggested what if we use micro fictions when we find them, and practice translating a few lines, so I can learn the meaninsg of ideoms in context etc.
we did half a micro-fic this morning and my brain is tiiired. But this is probably one of the best ideas I've had in a while!
#Introduction summary if you're thinking about following.
• I share posts, quotes, and threads on society, buddhism, science, nature, vegan food, and topical reflections.
• My post style is spontaneous, whatever is on the mind or in the experience of that moment.
• Recent average is about 20 posts a day, including boosts. Some days are quiet, some aren't. It's like weather.
• Will CW food, partisan politics, and anything I think could water the seeds of anger, fear, hate, etc.
🙏 😊
#Introduction Hello everyone, I'm a biologist and in the next months I'll start a new path into planetary science, and my focus will be on astrobiology and human space exploration. I'm interested in #scicomm and #scifi, and I read heaps of Italian literature. I'll talk about #biology and #space, more or less. I've just started a blog here: https://noblogo.org/drawanowl where l'll write in English and Italian.

"Ich... sah unsere Bücher in die zuckenden Flammen fliegen und hörte die schmalzigen Tiraden des kleinen abgefeimten Lügners. Begräbniswetter hing über der Stadt. Es war widerlich."
Erich Kästner über die Bücherverbrennung auf dem Berliner Opernplatz am 10. Mai 1933. https://t.co/4U3uijpnQl
⚫️ Die Rettung von 13 Menschen aus einem Schlauchboot südl. der #Canarias🇮🇨 hat am Montag eine neue Tragödie im #Atlantik aufgedeckt: Mind. 28 Menschen werden vermisst, die in der Nacht vor der Rettung von einer Welle ins Meer geworfen wurden.
Sie waren seit 4 Tagen auf See, als sie 120km südl. v. #GranCanaria von einem Flugzeug entdeckt wurden.
Das Unglück ereignete sich nur 24h, nachdem 44 Menschen vor Kap Bojador ihr Leben verloren hatten.

#2026 könnte es also so weit sein.
Das 1,5° Limit wird überschritten.
Bitte Leute, gebt nicht auf!
Die #KlimaKatastrophe ist vielleicht nicht mehr aufzuhalten, aber es lohnt sich immer noch, für eine bessere Welt als die auf die wir zusteuern zu kämpfen.
Sonst blüht uns nämlich neben all den direkten Folgen der #KlimaKrise folgendes: Milliarden Menschen weltweit müssen fliehen, Kriege um Ressourcen und Land werden häufig, Nationalismus und Rassismus kommen an die Macht und Eldend und Armut verbreiten sich weltweit.
Der Kampf für #KlimaGerechtigkeit ist jetzt wichtiger denn je!
Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update - Executive Summary
The chance of global near-surface temperature exceeding 1.5°C above preindustrial levels at
least one year between 2022 and 2026 is about as likely as not (48%). There is only a small
chance (10%) of the five-year mean exceeding this threshold.
Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update - Executive Summary
The annual mean global near-surface temperature for each year between 2022 and 2026 is predicted to be between 1.1°C and 1.7°C higher than preindustrial levels (the average over years 1850-1900).
I like writing flashfiction and microfiction, my garden, all animals (especially my dog), all plants, science, the ocean and Canada. Mostly lurking but boosting a lot. Very, very introvert but if encouraged I can talk your ears off.
I'm German but write mostly in English for practice.
