@jane_eyrie there's youtube accounts that are dash cam road trips too, which I discovered during the early pandemic when I was getting cabin fever

@kinsale42 @jane_eyrie The Carpetbagger on YouTube goes to theme parks, roadside attractions and museums (including the Smithsonian!) all over the US, and he takes requests! Bonus, he’s neurodiverse!

That account is really lovely — and does help those of us who are house-bound. Thanks so much for posting! 😍

@jane_eyrie such an amazing idea! I don't use Instagram but I would do this if someone organized it in the #fediverse.

Agree that we need this on fediverse. Could just be a hashtag or group and the infrastructure is there. I know we have the creators to keep the content flow going.

Hey @vlrny and @chaplain - what do you think?

@JoeWynne @alisynthesis @vlrny @jane_eyrie Sorry, FediFriends ~ been offline recently... A few people who are ill and I'm helping with care. Hope to be back soon...

Do your good work! We'll be here afterwards.

Agreed. No worries. Glad there's no technical thing in the way. 💛

Haha I think I inadvertently built my timeline to be 80% this anyway. With #mosstodon #thickTrunkTuesday #lichenSubscrible #splooting #asstodon #bloomscrolling and #birds just a ridiculous number of birds.

I don't think the folks who post on those tags realize the joy they drop for those of us stuck inside.

We certainly could have a specific #goOutsideForMe tag to consolidate some of that when folks want a pure shot of vicarious joy. Good idea!

Haha oops. Brain. Got on wrong thought train. Missed the video tour part. Which is extra brilliant. I would LOVE that.

Looks like @Her_Doing is kicking off the tag already.

The conversation about the tag was specifically about how it was for short videos of nature which is not common on Masto.

We would have to promote the need to nature content creators (like me) to produce these shorts and use the hash tag.

@JoeWynne @alisynthesis @chaplain @jane_eyrie

it's outside of my wheelhouse, but #peertube might be a good venue for these lil short vids. Might get some folks creating #goOutsideForMe style accounts that we can then share on mastondon.

@vlrny
Good call! I have a presence there and will be able to house many short nature videos that can be followed on Mastodon conveniently. Others will be able to do the same.

@JoeWynne @vlrny @chaplain @jane_eyrie I've been planning to do more vlog-style videos, and this would be a very fun and relatively easy addition to a regular vlogging practice. I'll make it a goal to contribute to #GoOutsideForMe!

Yay! This is brilliant. Pls post links to yer accounts n stuff when they're rolling, I definitely wanna follow this! 💖

We have some traction! I bet this will be a valued addition to the Fediverse culture.

@vlrny @JoeWynne @alisynthesis @chaplain @jane_eyrie If you fancy going inside sometimes, there’s #FensterFreitag (sometimes also from the outside :-)

vlrny, 3 months ago

@bondo @JoeWynne @alisynthesis @chaplain @jane_eyrie oh! That's a lovely tag too. 🪟😍

Nice idea!

I could see the profile but when I clicked on an image or video it did not work without being logged in. I don't have an Instagram account.

I just wanted to let others know. I think if you post a direct link for one of the images/videos then it works.

@ahimsa_pdx @jane_eyrie

I don't have an account either. I was able to click on a video and it played. Usually if I try to play another it tries to make me log in and I have to back up and go in anew.

But here's a direct link to the one I watched:
