-I have a shiny new Table of Contents (hereafter ToC) section for some of my posts (like this one)! And for fun and profit, it's styled like the output of [`tree`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(command)). I want to lay out the CSS I used for this. Fair warning, there's some hyper-specific border widths and positioning that *probably* should be a `calc()` function of some kind.
-
-I drew inspiration from this [StackOverflow issue regarding tree styling for lists](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14423671/best-method-for-displaying-a-tree-list-using-css-only-no-images-or-js-example).
-
-## `tree`
-
-Just for reference, here's some sample `tree` output:
-
-```txt
-.
-├── footer.njk
-├── head-content.njk
-├── header.njk
-├── layouts

-│   ├── page-lists.njk

-└── webring.njk
-```
-
-(You'll note that there are gaps between the verticals of each line. That's due to the line-height on the page, but in a standard terminal those vertical lines would be contiguous.)
-
-## HTML
-
-Our ToC uses the following HTML structure:
-
-```html
-<aside id="toc">
-  <details>
-    <summary><h2>table of contents</h2></summary>
-    <nav>
-      <ol>
-        <li><a>h2 1</a></li>
-        <li><a>h2 2</a>
-          <ol>
-            <li><a>h3 2a</a></li>
-            <li><a>h3 2b</a></li>
-          </ol>
-        </li>
-        <li><a>h2 3</a></li>
-        <!-- etc -->
-      </ol>
-    </nav>
-  </details>
-</aside>
-```
-
-We can ignore the `<aside>`, `<details>`, and `<nav>` components - we're going to focus on the `<ol>`s and `<li>`s.
-
-## CSS
-
-Despite referencing a StackOverflow issue above, I never like to just copy-paste a chunk of StackOverflow code into place. I don't like extraneous CSS, and sometimes there's stuff mixed in there that just isn't necessary. Let's build from the ground up.
-
-### remove styling that will be in the way
-
-By default, my lists have a lot of space around them for legibility when reading longer list items. We'll be accomplishing the vertical bars with borders here, so it's critical we not have any block-oriented spacing on `<ol>`s and `<li>`s. We're also going to take the numeric `list-style` off.
-
-```css
-#toc ol,
-#toc li {
-	margin-block: 0;
-	list-style: none;
-}
-```
-
-### start the structure with borders
-
-The `tree`-like structure will be accomplished with both symbols (stolen directly from the tree output) and borders. Let's throw some borders on.
-
-```css
-#toc li {
-	border-left: .095rem solid var(--color-pink);
-}
-```
-
-![Phase 1. There are thin pink vertical left-side borders for the list item elements, create long contiguous vertical lines. They are directly next to the list items with no spacing.](/img/2026/tree-styling-1.png)
-
-Those are super off. First, they're tabbed too far in to the left; second, there's *no* space between the border and the list item. We're going to fix the first thing by removing left margins on the `<ol>`s. The second is where we pull in the most critical piece of infrastructure.
-
-```css
-#toc ol {
-	margin-left: 0;
-}
-```
-
-### `li::before`
-
-We're going to use a character from the `tree` output and place it before our list items.
-
-```css
-#toc li::before {
-	content: '├─';
-	color: var(--color-pink);
-}
-```
-
-Notably, without additional positioning, the bars will be spaced away from the border. We want them to overlap perfectly.
-
-![Phase 2, shown with the new characters before any positioning adjustment. There are tree line leaders before each list item, but they are a few pixels off from overlapping with the border.](/img/2026/tree-styling-2.png)
-
-```css
-#toc li::before {
-  position: relative;
-	left: -.34rem; /* I fiddled a lot and this is where I landed */
-}
-```
-
-![Phase 3. The tree line leaders now perfectly overlap the border and it looks like a contiguous vertical line with small tabs inwards.](/img/2026/tree-styling-3.png)
-
-### adjust left margins
-
-Right now, the vertical lines don't nest nicely underneath the level above. Let's change our margins. I also adjusted the line height very slightly, because I noticed on some levels of magnification that the tree line leader characters weren't actually meeting.
-
-```css
-#toc li {
-  margin-left: 1.5rem;
-  line-height: 1.15;
-}
-```
-
-![Phase 4. The vertical border comes down directly below the first character of the parent level.](/img/2026/tree-styling-4.png)
-
-### fix those pesky last children
-
-You've probably noticed that the last children in the tree output had a bend rather than the T-shape we've been using. We'll want to remove the border from the last children and change the character we're using.
-
-```css
-#toc li:last-child {
-	border-left-color: transparent;
-}
-
-#toc li:last-child::before {
-	/* Technically, we could use this content for all of them, but doing the full
-	bar for the non-last-childs keeps the border a *smidge* more consistent for
-	different levels of magnification */
-	content: '└─';
-}
-```
-
-With that, it starts to look complete!
-
-![Phase 5, almost done. The last children no longer have a border that continues onward as though there will be more children.](/img/2026/tree-styling-5.png)
-
-### but what about really, really, really, really, REALLY long headers?
-
-What about line wrapping? It looks pretty bad right now.
-
-![Table of contents now shown with the above header. When the line wraps, instead of lining up with the beginning of the first character on the previous line, it nests under the tree line leader and right in line with the vertical border.](/img/2026/tree-styling-6.png)
-
-(And for the record, this happens for middle children too, it's not just a last child issue.)
-
-We can fix this with a hanging indent.
-
-```css
-#toc li {
-	text-indent: 1.22rem hanging; /* Again, I fiddled */
-}
-```
-
-![Final version with the hanging indent implemented. Now the second line of text for this header lines up nicely with the start of the text above it.](/img/2026/tree-styling-7.png)
-
-## summary

+tags:
+  - reference
+---
+
+this is a casual introduction to the fediverse (mastodon et al.) I wrote for a friend. I have shared it a few times, so I'm putting it here for ease of reference.
+
+## general
+
+the general style of fedi is microblogging (and sometimes more macroblogging). There's posts (image/video/audio and polls supported) and hashtags. Depending on your server, your post character limit will vary - some servers allow posts as long as you would ever want, but servers that haven't customized their post limit will be at 500 if I recall correctly. My favorite features of fedi are a) it is not corporate-run and b) there are **no ads!**
+
+usernames are @user@server. Your server determines things like your post limit, what your UI looks like, who your mods are, and what rules you have to follow. Most of the UIs are pretty similar, so don't worry about that - just know that if you hop servers the interface may be a new color or have a few small changes. (You can also on mobile use an app - I don't recommend the "main" mastodon app. I use tusky on android and like it. Idk about apple, maybe ask for recs.)
+
+## servers
+
+all servers can, in theory, talk to each other. It's like email, using gmail doesn't mean you can only communicate with other gmail users. **However,** in practice, some servers have "defederated" from others, or have limitations in place that mean you'll review notifications from people on that server before accepting them. "Defederation" basically just means blocking - when two servers are connected, we say they are "federated" - this is where the "fed" part of "fediverse" comes from. (Mastodon, on the other hand, is just one of many apps that make up the fediverse.)
+
+by and large, all (good) servers have defederated from the really trashy ones that host bigoted shit. But there's some borderline cases. For example, the "main" mastodon server run by the people who develop mastodon - mastodon.social - is huge and has signups totally open to anyone with no review. That means it is very vulnerable to waves of spam or rather unfriendly content. Because of this, some very solid servers consider limiting or blocking mastodon.social (or already have) despite its relevance as a huge presence in the fediverse.
+
+because of the size, I would **never** recommend signing up with mastodon.social. Your moderation experience is likely to be **terrible**. Being on a smaller server allows you to have a more personal relationship with your mods!
+
+speaking of your mods, they are usually moderating and paying for the server at no cost to the users, and it's good practice to chuck them some change every once and a while.
+
+## moving between servers
+
+you can migrate between servers, and your old account will point visitors over to your new account - but be aware that **your posts don't migrate with you**. This is very annoying for many people. The posts won't go away (they're still attached to the old account), but you won't be able to continue to edit them or see notifications for them. If you're really attached to a particular post, I recommend re-making it on the new account.

+you can edit posts! You can pin posts to your profile! And if you're invested in digital privacy, you can set a deletion timeline for your posts (with granular settings like "posts with at least this many likes/boosts don't get deleted" and similar rules). You can also set your account up so you have to manually approve people before they can follow you (because of this, it's a good idea to fill in some basic profile info before following people - a lot of people who manually approve followers will deny requests from empty profiles).
+
+image/video/audio content supports alt text and I highly recommend writing it, as many users won't boost posts that lack alt text. Depending on what software your server is running, you may or may not be able to set alt text for your profile/header photos - this is a newer feature that not all servers have yet, so I would recommend adding alt text for those pictures somewhere in your profile even if you are able to set it.
+
+posts also include a content warning or subject field, and it's generally good practice to use it for sensitive topics - some people also just use it more like an actual subject field. Some common abbreviations for CWs are "mh/ph" - mental health/physical health - and "pol" - politics. Idk why people abbreviate their CWs when the character limits are often so big.
+
+## choosing a server
+
+choosing a server can be daunting. It's helpful to look at things like the rules and the size of the moderation team compared to the size of the userbase. The server name can be part of your choice! That's a tiny but fun benefit of unique servers. For example, I am at [flipping.rocks](https://flipping.rocks) and we love the outdoors, critters, etc. It's not as crafty of a server, but my photography and general love of nature fits in really well (and often you don't need to "fit" a server really - it's just nice to have a theme).
+
+I generally recommend that people use their first 3-6 months looking at other servers and listening to the folks around them about whether they like their server. You may feel right at home in your starting server, or you may find something you like better, in which case you can learn how to migrate (happy to help).
+
+## getting started
+
+your feed will be oh so empty! There is no "algorithm" in the sense that we think of one in other corporate-run social medias. What you see is the posts/boosts of people you follow, as well as hashtags you follow, in reverse chronological order.
+
+I recommend a few things to get started:
+
+- make a post with the hashtag #introduction as well as #hashtags of your interests, and say hi! That lets people meet you and introduce themselves
+- check out the "local" feed for your server and see who is around on there to follow
+- use tools like [communitywiki.org/trunk](https://communitywiki.org/trunk) or [fedi.directory/](https://fedi.directory/) to find people based on topic

+
+I made a spreadsheet of sticker vendors so you don't have to. And also ordered a bunch of sample packs, so you don't have to (and because I get very very into doing my research, and sample packs are very cheap).
+
+I priced out **3"x3" holographic die-cut vinyl stickers** from US-based sticker vendors at three price points: 100 (or nearest above 100), 200 (or nearest above 200), and 500. Free shipping referenced *may* require a minimum to kick in - I noted it down as free if the minimum was below the price point for 100 stickers.
+
+I did this work because my previous vendor, DieCutStickers, had notable print issues in the last batch I bought from them, and I decided to look for a new vendor. Because of this, they will not be listed.
+
+Got a recommendation not in this writeup? Feel free to [let me know](/contact) and I'll price them out and add them.
+
+All sample packs ordered have been summarized and photographed with the exception of Sticker Bunnies, which has not arrived yet.
+
+I think I have to make a weird art piece now with all these samples.
+
+## Exclusions
+
+Three other vendors are mentioned but will not appear in summaries: Sticker Guy, Sticker Mule, and Sticky Brand.
+
+- Sticker Guy looks **awesome** for simple stickers (1 or maybe 2 colors printed on solid color vinyl), but holographic stickers are listed as temporarily unavailable, so I couldn't get a price quote.
+- Sticker Mule's CEO is a vocal Trump supporter.
+- Sticky Brand has started using generative AI marketing (this is secondhand information as I don't use instagram). Also I had a [pretty bad customer service experience](#sticky-brand).
+
+I cannot promise that other makers do not have issues similar to Sticker Mule or Sticky Brand; this is just what I surfaced in my research.
+
+## Summaries
+
+### Quality summary
+
+Sticker Ninja - wow! Thick, sturdy vinyl that feels amazing. Plus loads of pretty finishes - I'm really noodling on what I could do on "Prism Party." They're not *the* cheapest, but for sets of 100 they're not awful, so they're probably my vendor of choice unless I'm buying more bulk (and 100 is my most common amount). I've ordered some new holo [hummingbirds](/hummingbird-become-ungovernable) from them as well as a design new to stickers, [big pidge](/big-pidges).
+
+Also, they sent me a "queer joy is a revolution" sticker in the sample pack - that one actually went on my laptop. Also also, they seem like they have a great approach to work - they close their ordering on Sundays so they don't come in absolutely slammed on Mondays. I respect that a lot.
+
+I was also impressed with StickerApp's variety of materials and product types, and their pricing is very competitive. If you want to save a little, they seem solid. Also, I just got the [FediZineFest](/fedizinefest-2026-2027) stickers through them, and they are *fast*.
+
+### Pricing summary
+
+Death by Stickers stands out as *by far* the cheapest option for ~100 or maybe less, and still fairly competitive for ~200, though bumped out of the top slot by StickerGiant (however, worth noting that I couldn't get Death by Stickers samples). If you want bulk, Brick City Printing comes out ahead - and they are union!
+
+If you want really small lots, maybe try Sticker Bunnies - their pricing model is a flat per-sticker rate regardless of order size. Be aware, however, that they only take orders via email, so it may be a bit more of an involved process than most.
+
+It is of course worth it with many vendors to join their email list and wait for deals. These are the standard prices and do not account for sales or discounts.
+
+### Ease of peeling
+
+Brick City Printing, StandOut Stickers, Sticker Junkie, StickerApp, and StickerGiant offer split backs.
+
+Bend Print Co. offers split backs or peel tabs for an increased sticker price. Sticker Robot mentions split backs in their FAQ, but sticker options only support peel tabs, also for an increased price. Vinyl Disorder offers peel tabs for an increased price.
+
+Sticker Ninja and StickerBros do not offer split backs.
+
+Busy Beaver, Death by Stickers, and Sticker Bunnies do not specify.

+These are pretty thin. I'm really not sure if vinyl thickness correlates to quality, tbh, but they don't feel particularly sturdy. Still, I like the variety of fun vinyls.
+
+(Sorry about the weird crop, I realized after I took this picture that I wanted a landscape picture not a portrait one. By then I had already peeled and stuck one of them.)

+
+### Sticker Guy
+
+[Sticker Guy](https://stickerguy.com/)
+
+I did not price out Sticker Guy as I could not find pricing information for holographic stickers. I did find one table that listed holo stickers as temporarily unavailable. Still, they look like a great option for simpler sticker needs.

+
+Sticker Ninja has an *amazing* amount of variety when it comes to glitter, shimmer, mirror finish, and more - not just your standard holographic. I stuck one to my laptop, and while I can't vouch for longevity at this time, it feels *quality* - nice sturdy vinyl.
+
+![Many stickers laid out on a desk, mostly with some variety of cutesy ninja iconography. There are a lot of shimmery, shiny, or glittery ones. A couple say things like 'queer joy is a revolution' or 'love beyond the binary'.](/img/2026/stickers/sticker-ninja.jpg)

+- FAQ says split backs can be added, but I didn't see this option; peel tabs can be added for additional cost
+
+Sticker Robot does both silkscreen and digital stickers. The silkscreen ones seem really nice, but the digital holo stickers are what I priced out and looked at. They seem decent, but nothing outstanding - I'm kinda guessing the silkscreen ones might be more standout. Silkscreen stickers offer printed backs as well. One of the samples is a "business card sticker" which is kinda neat.
+
+In the picture, silkscreen stickers are on the left and digital on the right.

+- Free shipping
+- Split backs
+
+I'm pretty impressed by the variety here, though the stickers that aren't specifically their "heavy duty" material feel a smidge flimsy. Their special finishes are fun and varied. They also offer a business card sticker option - though I personally wouldn't want a business card that thin...
+
+They have several sample packs - sticker materials (image 1, left; image 2), label materials (image 1, right), and product types (image 3).
+
+![A two-image collage showing all material samples laid out for both stickers - ranging from standard vinyl to finishes like 'pixie dust' and 'matte mirror' - and labels - five simpler varieties.](/img/2026/stickers/stickerapp-materials.jpg)

+- 200 for $168.00 - $0.84/sticker
+- 500 for $300.00 - $0.60/sticker
+- Free shipping
+- No split backs
+
+I am decently impressed with the quality of StickerBros, and particularly with their embossed and heavy duty embossed stickers. I haven't seen embossed stickers in any of the other sample packs! Despite not having split backs, I found them pretty easy to peel because there is an ever-so-slightly larger edge of backing paper surrounding the sticker than some others.
+
+However, they were *really* slow to get my sample pack out. The shipping label was created more than 2 weeks before the package was delivered to USPS. Sample packs don't require any printing time, so I'm not sure why there was such a delay.
+
+![A dozen or so stickers in fun design showing off different styles such as matte chrome, glitter, glow-in-the-dark, embossed, and more.](/img/2026/stickers/stickerbros.jpg)

+- 500 for $270.00 - $0.54/sticker
+- Free shipping
+- Split backs
+
+StickerGiant has a very comprehensive and informative sample pack showcasing a wide variety of materials ranging from the holo die cuts I priced out to kraft paper labels. They also include color samples on their materials for reference.
+
+![An array of stickers on a table. All stickers are either labeled with their materials or their design is fully dedicated to describing their materials. There are many labels and die cut stickers.](/img/2026/stickers/sticker-giant.jpg)

+
+### Sticky Brand
+
+Sticky Brand has apparently gone pretty hard in on generative AI marketing. I priced them out (and ordered some stickers due to a *deep* discount\*) before learning this, so I'm noting prices down for reference, but I don't recommend them.
+
+- 100 for $118.13 - $1.18/sticker
+- 250 for $236.25 - $0.95/sticker
+- 500 for $393.75 - $0.79/sticker
+- USPS ground shipping rates or thereabouts
+- Couldn't find information regarding split backs
+
+\*Or well, I *thought* I ordered stickers. Here's what happened:
+
+I ordered a sample pack. I saw the discount on 100 holo stickers, realized I should have gone for that, and put in to cancel my sample pack, then ordered the 100 holo PLUS sample pack so I wasn't paying shipping twice. They then canceled my *second* order, of the 100 holo and sample pack, rather than my first. And now it's been 2 or 3 weeks and I still don't have a sample pack, because order 1 is seemingly stuck in printing. Their customer service *sucks*, too - I have been talking to them about this and they have gotten details wrong, failed to read the information I am giving them, and now have canceled my sample order without me asking for that. So, no samples, screw them, will not be putting in a new order.
+
+### Vinyl Disorder
+
+[Vinyl Disorder](https://vinyldisorder.com/)
+
+- 100 for $161.22 - $1.61/sticker
+- 250 for $236.25 - $0.94/sticker
+- 500 for $406.35 - $0.81/sticker
+- $5.00-$6.00 for shipping orders under $250.00; free shipping over $250.00 cannot be combined with other discounts
+- Peel tabs for 25% extra
+
+These are decent, but the price is a real deterrant. I think if you're getting more basic stickers their pricing *might* be more competitive - they are clear that holo and other premium materials are marked up 150% - but without doing those pricing tables I can't be sure. That said, I think their "cracked ice holo" is pretty cool.
+
+![The same logo in 11 materials, plus a rectangular chunk of holo sticker vinyl. There's even such oddities as glow in the dark, view through (perforated so the design is not fully opaque), and static cling.](/img/2026/stickers/vinyl-disorder.jpg)
