How to download video from Mastodon

Mastodon is an open-source, decentralized social networking platform where users can join different servers (or “instances”) based on their interests or communities. Unlike traditional social networks, Mastodon is not controlled by a single entity, allowing for greater privacy and user autonomy. Each instance can set its own rules, and users can interact across instances, creating a connected yet flexible network. Known for promoting freedom of expression and minimizing advertising, Mastodon is popular among users who value data privacy and community-driven interactions.
