Embedding Mastodon Posts
By default. When you embed a post from mastodon in to a WriteAs blog the default width is 400.
I am going to use the embed from my previous post as an example
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="400" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Changing the width to 600 results in, as you would expect a wider post which fits really nicely.
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
We can go further and add a height element too.
<iframe src="https://mindly.social/@erinwhalen/109672470870988630/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="600" height="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Which allows more of the post to be displayed.
This can, and should be adjusted for better fit, depending on size of the post being embedded.
Hope this is useful to people.

Meta (Facebook and Instagram) prohibited from using personal data for advertisement.
This is a really important development in that it shows that the GDPR and the Law are to be followed. Massive win for our personal data protection. People are waking up and finally taking back control and see what big tech is really doing.

Share to Mastodon – Firefox plugin
There is now a new plug in for Mozilla Firefox which facilitates the sharing of articles to the Federated social media network Mastodon, part of the Fediverse.
This is a really good step forward, and will really help.

Fediverse Trunk
Just reposting this as since Elon Musk bought Twitter, there has been a big migration over to Mastodon.
Joining a new network can be daunting, especially if you don't know anyone. This is especially true with decentralised networks, such as the Fediverse.
However with the Fediverse help is at hand, in the form of Trunk. The website helps you find other users by interest, gives you their id so you can search and follow them.

What is Peertube?
Peertube is a video sharing platform, similar to youtube, but with a focus on privacy and decentralization. As Peertube uses Activity pub then content can be shared and federated to other services within the Fediverse.
I tried to post the video below, but for some reason it is not working properly.
Feel free to get in touch if you need more help on this, details are on my contact page.
