Tre år sen jag upptäckte Mastodon. Minns en lång och intressant diskussion då, där jag argumenterade för att det var viktigt att kunna citera andras inlägg i en post.
Nu är det möjligt – men jag är inte längre så säker på att det är bra.

@elk が今年の1月のリリースを最後に更新が止まっていて、もうメンテナンスされていないんじゃないかという噂が。
シンプルで可愛いデザインで一時期使っていたので残念&心配ではあるけど、 :mastodon: のデフォルトの Web UI も大分デザインがこなれてきたし、 とか みたいな :mastodon: のカスタム も出てきたので、相対的に の存在意義みたいなものが薄れてしまっていた状況というのはあったような気はする。

のように、機能面でデフォルトの :mastodon: の Web UI を超えるいろんな機能(外部サーバーからの見た目を一時的にエミュレートできたり、CatchUP 器用や、独自の投稿ドラフトの自動保存機能とか、複数アカウント切り換え機能とか)があれば差別化できたんだろうけど、その点 はそこまで通常の :mastodon: Web UI と比較してリッチな機能が追加されてるわけじゃないからな…
いっそのこと、 :mastodon: のカスタム CSS テーマとしてリブートするみたいなほうがメンテナンスコストは小さくなりそう :tony_astonished:

I have a “read first” list here on Mastodon. It’s the accounts whose updates I don’t want to miss. I occasionally add and remove folks. Recently added a fellow that I deeply admire. But he toots more than @ai6yr (which is a lot 🙃) Anyway, he’s got to come off the list.

This isn’t a sub-toot, the guy doesn’t know me. More a reminder that lists are great and you are your own algorithm.

So 4.5 does a better job of fetching the context of a toot with which we had interacted. What I would like is a way to do the same _before_ I interact with it, because only then I realize that my "zinger" looks like a bad copy of what someone else already wrote.

I've updated the guide on how to transfer your Mastodon account from one server to another:

➡️ fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

It now has an additional step where you switch off email notifications for new followers on the account you're moving to.

Apparently some people have been receiving lots of email notifications for new followers when they've transferred followers over. For some reason no one has raised this issue before, but it seems to have happened to a number of people.

Everyone’s excited about 4.5, and rightly so, but you know what’s REALLY outstanding in news this month?

Mastodon <-> PieFed 😍

With PieFed 1.3, issue 1256 was fixed, meaning that Link posts look great when federated out. This means whenever I publish a blog post, then link to it from a post on my PieFed instance, it federates out to Mastodon et al. beautifully.

This makes an *outstanding* choice for content-creator community building! 👏

So about the app. Given that version 7 is going to be a massive app rewrite and refactoring, I have many issues. The first is the paying. This app is a huge rewrite. All that time and effort? That deserves money. Where I put my foot down is you making a whole new app to get around all of the people, including me, that paid for lifetime subscription. That seems wildly underhanded to me. And you’re releasing it as a new app? Rather than a app upgrade? To make sure that we’re kind of forced to pay for the new app? Hard no from me. I read every single reply in that thread. There is a test flight link. Even though it is in beta, it is relying way too heavily on LLM’s for me to want to try it. I read in the thread that choosing a post language is no longer an option, and that the app relies on an LLM to guess what that language is. Even in a beta, that clearly signals what you started developing direction wise and I’m just not interested. I keep thinking about the question I asked the developer long before Mastodon had it’s moment. The developer told me no Mastodon app would be made. Fine. But this looks like cash cow development to fund whatever LLM you stuck in the app. I’m not happy. The accessibility of the app is unmatched, especially for VoiceOver users, but I fund honest, even agressive, donation requests. I will happily pay a subscription to support development but not like this. Is there another app with as much care and VoiceOver love?

it looks like the initial thread with all the replies have been deleted, but here is a announcement and apparent answer about the lifetime subscription mastodon.social/@MonaApp/11552

Did you know Mastodon has a post scheduling system? You can write a post now and set it to publish in the future:

➡️ fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-

Weirdly, the scheduler is built into the Mastodon server software but the developers never got round to making an official interface for it. That's why it isn't in the web interface or official apps.

However, Mastodon is an open platform and third party apps are able to provide the interface so that this feature can be used 🥳

It is sad to follow the postings from

I use Mastodon daily. I can't say that I have any friends using it. Just a few colleagues at work.

I can't see that this development of daily users here at Mastodon change to something positive. Why do so many users leave this platform?

➡️ fedi.tips/why-cant-i-quote-oth

The guide covers how to quote, how to consent to being quoted, how to go back to single-click boosts etc and answers lots more quoting-related questions.

Why is allowing others to your posts an opt-out rather than an opt-in? An /#Twitter feature that has been heavily used for harassment probably shouldn't be on by default.

Can I make a humble request to all you awesome mastodonians out there? Please?

If ya post a link, please post a "meat" summary.

A naked link with "Oh yea" as a post would so be helped with what is so "Oh yea" about it

Even external links with pics and descriptions that pop in rarely tell you the info and often are pay or subsciber walled.

A brief summary added would be sooo great.

Thank you!!!

I really DONT like to click twice when I want to boost a post.
This part of the UI got worse.

Edit: @mrdk gave me the tip how to re-enable the old behaviour :heartcyber: :

`“Settings→Appearance→Enable quick boosting” in the web app.`

The most painful thing about migrating between instances is filters. There's no way to export/import them, so it is all manual cut & paste. I wish there was functionality to export/Import filters like there is with followers, blocks, lists and bookmarks.

Zum Posten längerer Texte gibt es besser geeignete Formate als die Kurznachrichten auf . Im nutze ich , andere empfehlen . Wahrscheinlich gibt es noch mehr.
Die Systeme sind weitestgehend kompatibel und barrierarm untereinander nutzbar.

Auf nutze ich manchmal die Möglichkeit, längere Texte als Bilddatei zu teilen (nutzt den Alt-Text). Dann gerne auch mit dem Setzen von Highlights mit Textmarkern.

Gute in ​en sind so aufgebaut, dass jeder Post im Thread eine für sich geschlossen verständliche Nachricht liefert. Von der Verknüpfung im Thread werden diese Nachrichten in eine zusammenhängende Reihenfolge gebracht, die einen Gedankengang führen und herleiten.

Unter jedem Post ergibt sich die Möglichkeit zur Debatte des einzelnen Posts und des bisherigen Threads. Jeder Post ist für sich genommen teilbar als Retoot.

Today's deep dive into

a instance, I send a Follow request to a selfhosted blog with AP plugin. The returned Accept Follow payload gets processed by InboxWorker where it just fizzles.

I then send a Follow request to an account hosted on mastodon.social. Returned Accept gets processed by InboxValidator instead, then on to ActivityHandler and down the FollowPipeline as expected.

Only message difference is adds a 'username' field.

Hay mucho por aprender, es importante que los sitios cuenten con buenos recursos y cachés bien configurado, la publicación anterior fue republicada por @blogdiva y con ese RT el sitio web colapsó 😆 (específicamente se corrieron más procesos de php-fpm de los que podía el servidor)

I'm having high hopes for the latest Mastodon release, and I hope it will be widely installed.

The feature I care the most about, and contrary to what I'd guess many believe, is actually not the quote posting (though it was indeed about time, most other Fediverse services has had this for years).

But the functionality that has me really excited, and which will be a boost for the Fediverse at large, and what will make it more worthwhile for smaller instances to at least try to run their own little community-instance, is...back-filling of posts.

Most Mastodon users, especially on the large instances, had no idea it wasn't working, and the assumption for most new people/users to the Fediverse is that you see everything there is to see. That hasn't been the case.

The lack of it goes against everything one would have thought if coming here from any other service. Basically Mastodon will now load replies to posts from remote servers/instances
even if they don't Federate historically.

The lack of that particular piece of functionality made it really annoying, borderline anti-social, to set up your own instance. Users of smaller instances thought they replied and contributed to posts. Meanwhile, the posts/replies from those smaller instances were literally invisible to the people on large instances. This obviously leads to people on small instances feeling "what is the point of replying?" which isn't a great starting point for building a social media community.

But as I say, apparently they have now fixed this, which was about time. The first bugs about this functionality missing are over 9 years old by now. Great to see it fixed.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1155

This specific new feature in Mastodon 4.5 - reply fetching - makes a huge difference in small communities.

When you open the detail view of a message, it triggers a task to pull in all replies it can from remote servers, and displays them after a few seconds.

Looking forward to third party apps integrating this a bit more naturally without having to refresh the detail view.

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1155

This specific new feature in Mastodon 4.5 - reply fetching - makes a huge difference in small communities.

When you open the detail view of a message, it triggers a task to pull in all replies it can from remote servers, and displays them after a few seconds.

Looking forward to third party apps integrating this a bit more naturally without having to refresh the detail view.

My test instance has been updated to the just released 4.5 Mastodon, along with the 2.5 release of the TangerineUI theme.

The changelog for this one is a full on novel. Kudos to every single contributor and the mastodon team as a whole for their work. And @nileane for TangerineUI :)

Should I be adding to all my PeerTube videos?

A few people keep suggesting I do that and honestly, my primary issue with that is that it instinctually feels weird.

Like, I wouldn't add as a tag on a YouTube video. Adding to every post I make here would feel redundant as heck.

My deepest gratitude goes out to the community, a that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. You have been my friends, my therapists, my critics and fans, as well as an inspiration and reliable sounding board. Mastodon really is unlike any other “social media platform” out there.

Today, I celebrate the arbitrary milestone of twelve thousand followers, and I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for the favourites, the boosts, the follows, and the comments.

Thank you for your conversations, discussions, and corrections.

Thank you for listening to my music and sharing your thoughts, and for following along on your chosen streaming service. Your support has been amazing.

But, above all, I’d like to thank you all for making Mastodon the friendly and welcoming place that it is. My experience here has predominantly been one of acceptance and support, and it has been truly humbling. There is nowhere else quite like it.

Massive huge love and big gigantic hugs to you all,

Could this be legit, or are we dealing with bots who falsely claim to be mastodon.social?

Been updating my personal Mastodon tooling to download and convert my bookmarked toots. Here's how little code is needed to download a single message and convert its HTML content into Markdown, all using these packages:

- thi.ng/hiccup: Interop data format (i.e. just nested JS arrays) to encode hierarchical documents
- thi.ng/hiccup-html-parse: Parses HTML into hiccup format
- thi.ng/hiccup-markdown: Serialize hiccup to Markdown (also includes a Markdown parser to hiccup, but not used here)
- thi.ng/zipper: Functional tree editing, manipulation & navigation (here to clean/transform the parsed HTML document)

Edit: Gist version of this example code:
gist.github.com/postspectacula

Syntax colored TypeScript source code:

import { parseHtml } from "@thi.ng/hiccup-html-parse";
import { serialize } from "@thi.ng/hiccup-markdown";
import { arrayZipper, type Location } from "@thi.ng/zipper";

// load a Mastodon status via API
const res = await (
	await fetch("https://mastodon.thi.ng/api/v1/statuses/115464108396925195")
).json();

// parse HTML content into thing/hiccup format (nested JS arrays)
const parsed = parseHtml(res.content, {
	whitespace: true,
	ignoreAttribs: ["class"],
}).result!;

// structure of parsed example:
// [["p", {}, "text"], ["p", {}, ...], ...]

// recursively traverse result document/array using thi.ng/zipper

Secondly, I don't think that encyclia.pub/ is obviously enough a social media thing.

By this I mean that a casual user, arriving at the website in a browser for the first time is unlikely to realise that this is a / thing (even if they know what these things are) and thus miss affordances that are available.

I think this is more about branding / styling than functionality, I recommend aligning the styling with whatever fedi platform has the highest usage in your target audience.

Possibly also a div of jointhefediverse.net/ -type content, not because we expect people to join the fediverse, but because we want to signal to people who have already joined that this is a fedi thing.

Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:

All you need to quote a toot on Mastodon is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".

But pasting a link also works, automatically. If the author is on Mastodon and allows quotes, the toot will appear in the compose field but can be detached. If not, it'll be just a simple, plain link.

In the end, both paths lead to the same destination: to quote a toot. And, if the author allows quotes, this will generate a notification to them.

So it's important to know that this also works with private mentions, aka DMs.

Even if you don't mention the author's profile (user@instance.tld), if you simply paste a link to their post, and they allow quotes, they will be notified.

If they don't allow quotes, it'll be just a simple and plain link, and no notification will be sent to them.

So be careful not to end up mentioning someone in a DM without the intention of doing so.

They'll be able to see the DM content where the link was pasted, as if you'd have mentioned them explicitly. But it was just a quoted toot.

Let's see what they say about this: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d

Mastodon users, you might want to check out the "timed mute" option, it's really useful! It lets you set a period (6 hours to 30 days) when an account is muted. It's handy for taking a break from someone.

To make a timed mute, you'll need to be using the website, web app or some third party apps. Mute as usual but before confirming the mute click "show options" and select a time period.

If you want to still get notifications from them, untick the "hide notifications" box.

When people say " is like early Twitter," they often refer to the absence of algorithmic amplification & ads or the functionality set. But what makes it like early in my opinion, isn't that.

It's that the enables you to easily connect with real, awesome humans from anywhere: makers, celebrities, community leaders, top experts in their fields. Just tag them with an honest post and you'll have wonderful interactions such as this one. 🤩

Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:

All you need to quote a toot on Mastodon is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".

But pasting a link also works, automatically. If the author is on Mastodon and allows quotes, the toot will appear in the compose field but can be detached. If not, it'll be just a simple, plain link.

In the end, both paths lead to the same destination: to quote a toot. And, if the author allows quotes, this will generate a notification to them.

So it's important to know that this also works with private mentions, aka DMs.

Even if you don't mention the author's profile (user@instance.tld), if you simply paste a link to their post, and they allow quotes, they will be notified.

If they don't allow quotes, it'll be just a simple and plain link, and no notification will be sent to them.

So be careful not to end up mentioning someone in a DM without the intention of doing so.

They'll be able to see the DM content where the link was pasted, as if you'd have mentioned them explicitly. But it was just a quoted toot.

Let's see what they say about this: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d

Mastodon includes support for automatic translation of posts. If it's working, you will see a "translate" button below posts in foreign languages which you can click on to translate them.

If you're not seeing the "translate" option, here's a guide which covers all the reasons why not and what you can do about it:

➡️ fedi.tips/is-there-a-built-in-

Also, if you've wondered why your language button flashes a different colour the guide explains what's going on 🙂

⚠️ Please update your site

We frequently observe numerous sites across the Fediverse running very outdated versions of Mastodon or Misskey. Some sites are even using versions over a year old.

Software updates include not only new features but also critical security fixes. To keep your site secure and stable, ensure you always use the latest version.

You can edit your posts on Mastodon, just click ⋯ on your post and then "Edit". There is no time limit or editing limit.

If someone has already boosted your post before you edited it, they will get a notification. This is to prevent any "bait and switch" abuse of editing.

Also to prevent abuse, people will be able to see the editing history of your post. If you need to hide sensitive information that you posted accidentally, delete the post instead of editing it.

@oblomov I think @tusooa was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see merge request); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.) :gutkato_pensas:

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others! :gutkato_manĝas_fragon:

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features. :gutkato_flucerba:

I’ve not kept up with the latest Mastodon developments, but does anyone know if this sort of feature is planned?

I get that it’s extra complicated with the federated nature, but it feels like something that the major fediverse platforms could agree on a technical implementation of even if yes, technically clients could just choose to show “unapproved” or “hidden” replies.

Another small step in Forgejo federation.

Getting Forgejo and mastodon services to talk had some unexpected pitfalls.
Mastodon only federates on port 443 for example, that means Forgejo needs to be able to listen on a privileged port even for testing. You can imagine the troubles setting up our e2e tests properly.

This is finally behind us and were now aiming to integrate the test into the automated test suite (with a lot of work already done by @famfo)

Mastodon has two different official web interfaces: single-column (default) and multi-column (advanced).

By default you will see the single column interface, but you can optionally switch over to the Tweetdeck-style multicolumn one if you prefer. This lets you view lots of timelines at once.

There are complete instructions on how to activate it at:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mast

The guide also answers lots of questions about how to use it and customise it.

After looking at this, got curious to know the limits in most servers.

So I did a little data analysis. Servers list from @fediverseobserver , filtered to only Mastodon & MAU > 3. A reduced dataset should be adequate for a rough approximation.

Chart titled "Image Matrix Limits" showing a table lists matrix MP values (2, 17, 33, 38–195) with counts and percentages and bar graph: 33 MP dominates (2145, 93.50%), 17 MP (139, 6.06%), and small entries for 2 MP and 38–195 MP.

Wir bräuchten da mal Eure Hilfe, um "Auf erreicht man doch niemanden" zu widerlegen!

Es gibt bei der wieder den legendären Mathesalon mit Prof. Dr. Rainer Roos und Nikolett Bernáth.

Verbreitet die frohe Kunde und retröötet, was das Zeug hält - wir kriegen den Saal der voll, oder?

Am 30.10. geht es um - eine unterhaltsame und inspirierende Reise durch über zweitausend Jahre – von Euklids Beweis der Unendlichkeit der Primzahlen bis zu modernen Rekorden und ungelösten Rätseln. Sie erfahren, warum amerikanische Zikaden mit Primzahlen zu tun haben, was es mit Primzahlzwillingen auf sich hat und warum selbst einfache Fragen in der Mathematik manchmal Millionen wert sind.

Das Beste: Sie brauchen keine besonderen Vorkenntnisse – nur ein wenig Neugier. Alles wird anschaulich und mit viel Begeisterung erklärt.
Und weil Denken auch Musik verdient, begleitet Nicolette Bernȃth den Abend am .

Ein Abend für Kopf und Herz – spannend, überraschend und voller „Aha!“-Momente.
Kommen Sie mit auf eine faszinierende Reise in die Welt der Primzahlen!

Not sure what's happening but somehow it seems like the gamedev.place instance is not fully syncing with loops.video just yet.

Might take a while until the instances communicate correctly with each other. I will check this again at the end of the week.

“We also do our best to keep track of various campaigns and differentiate ‘real or scam’, to the degree that we are able. For campaigns that are identified as scams, we do our best to research and prevent that traffic from coming to Hachyderm …

We also recognize that there are legitimate campaigns. One relatively new effort is the Gaza Verified project. I (Quintessence) spoke to Aral to ask questions and generally understand the process, and am comfortable confirming that 1 ) Aral is a real person who is doing the work he states and 2 ) that the people that are being listed on Gaza Verified are confirmed with in-person verification with the network that he and Joy are building. To be overclear: the work is being done, and being done the way it is being communicated.

In-person verification is slow work, as it requires each new contact to be verified by an existing contact. They also take the time to attempt to onboard people who mostly are unfamiliar with the technology we take for granted, and therefore both do not have prior exposure to cultural norms and also due to suffering, do not have a lot of mental bandwidth to ‘just learn it’.”

After looking at this, got curious to know the limits in most servers.

So I did a little data analysis. Servers list from @fediverseobserver , filtered to only Mastodon & MAU > 3. A reduced dataset should be adequate for a rough approximation.

Would be nice to be able to assign different background colours to posts in the client. Like this

let coll = document.getElementsByClassName('status__wrapper')

[...coll].forEach((x) => {
let span = x.getElementsByClassName('display-name__account')[0]
// if (span) console.log(span.innerText)
if (span && /bsky/.test(span.innerText)) {
x.style.background='#500000';

Hey everyone,

While @joynewacc’s Internet connection is offline during her move, I was lucky enough to have @aseelfromgz with me today as we carried out today’s verification video calls for Gaza Verified and we’re happy to welcome four new accounts/families to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Mohamed Hesham – @mohamedhesham
• Naeema family – @naeemafamily
• Hema Alshaer – @hemaalshaer
• Seraj Alnajjar – @serajnjar20

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

Also, please remember that Aseel is in Gaza too and is helping others despite facing the very same challenges herself. You can help her and her family via her:

• PayPal (easier for them to get the funds): paypal.com/donate/?hosted_butt
• GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/help-aseel-and-

One thing I love about and the : choice is a feature, not an illusion.

The server my account lived on made questionable decisions, so I simply migrated my account (and followers!) to a server whose principles align more closely to my own. No harm, no foul, no bad feelings—life goes on for the better.

It’s pretty awesome, having such freedom! :mastolove: Also, to newer folks curious about other servers, @FediThing runs a great website: fedi.garden/

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you again for your amazing support for our fundraiser to fund @joynewacc’s private scholarship at the University of Milan and get her evacuated from Gaza in November.

Thanks to you, we were able to raise over $15,000 in under 24 hours and meet our goal.

Joy can’t thank you herself at the moment as her family has moved to a different shelter and she is currently without Internet. We have already sent her an eSIM and hope she will be online again as soon as possible.

We’re keeping the campaign open until end of day today so if you haven’t had a chance to donate and want to, please do. The additional money we raise will go to covering any unexpected travel, lodging, or other expenses that might arise during her evacuation.

Thank you all again… you have been (and are) wonderful.

Gestern hat @mashapotempa mittels Psychodrama-Methoden und mit mir einen Vortrag bei der @LeipzigerLiederszene gehalten zum Thema "Das Fediverse". Eine Teilnehmerin meinte in der Schlussrunde, dass sie jetzt eine Tür sieht, wo vorher nur Mauern waren. Das fand ich nachvollziehbar und schön.

Eine Folie aus dem Vortrag. Der Hintergrund ist ein Foto des nächtlichen Sternenhimmels mit den Silhouetten von Nadelbäumen am unteren Rand. Ganz oben steht "Das Fediverse ... unendliche Weiten". Darunter die Logos von Pixelfed, Mastodon, Loops, Owncast, Peertube, Mirlo, Misskey und Sharkey, die mit Strichen miteinander verbunden sind. Daneben setzt sich eine verkleinerte Ansicht dieser "Logo-Connection" fort um anzudeuten, dass diese Plattformen alle mit- und untereinander verbunden sind. Ganz rechts unten in der Ecke noch mehr Text und Grafik, die aber nur beim Reinzoomen erkennbar wird (Thema dieser Ecke: Wie finde ich einen Server? Und wie finde ich meine Herde? Und: Welche Apps gibt es?)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you again for your amazing support for our fundraiser to fund @joynewacc’s private scholarship at the University of Milan and get her evacuated from Gaza in November.

Thanks to you, we were able to raise over $15,000 in under 24 hours and meet our goal.

Joy can’t thank you herself at the moment as her family has moved to a different shelter and she is currently without Internet. We have already sent her an eSIM and hope she will be online again as soon as possible.

We’re keeping the campaign open until end of day today so if you haven’t had a chance to donate and want to, please do. The additional money we raise will go to covering any unexpected travel, lodging, or other expenses that might arise during her evacuation.

Thank you all again… you have been (and are) wonderful.

Generally speaking, codebases interact best with small-to-medium business ventures rather than advancing the interests of megacorps.

is an obvious example — which has a growing ecosystem of small businesses (like @mastohost) & nonprofit entities working in collaboration.

We see similar in the 'd community.

When megacorps get involved with copylefted projects, it's usually to exploit rather than engage — hence the widespread violations on .

Hello everyone,

@aseelfromgz and I had the pleasure of talking to four new friends from Palestine (and we were lucky enough to have @casey join us for two of the calls) and we’d like to welcome them to the Gaza Verified family.

They are:

• Mai, who runs a camp taking care of 30 kids (@rouh)
• Saher (@SaherGaza1)
• Alaa, who is a 4th-year medical student helping the wounded in Gaza) (@alaa123)
• Sara, and her lovely little tots, Osama and Yusuf who we got to meet (@sarada9669)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

Also, Sara needs someone to help her set up a Chuffed campaign. If anyone is willing, please contact me.

🤔…Fascinating that @kkarhan claims sponsors & corporate contributors will “never get involved” with an codebase by *using* an AGPLv3 codebase — namely — to make these false claims.

Plenty of people getting sponsored & are starting businesses around Mastodon (including @mastohost, which I use), & Donald Trump himself — Truth Social is a (now) AGPLv3 compliant fork of Mastodon.

Perhaps Google+ would be a replacement for Mastodon you'd prefer?

If your Mastodon server is being very slow today, it may be due to a DDoS attack on one of the biggest hosting providers.

They are aware of the situation and they're taking action against the attack.

This attack doesn't affect servers running on different hosting providers.

One thing I love about and the : choice is a feature, not an illusion.

The server my account lived on made questionable decisions, so I simply migrated my account (and followers!) to a server whose principles align more closely to my own. No harm, no foul, no bad feelings—life goes on for the better.

It’s pretty awesome, having such freedom! :mastolove: Also, to newer folks curious about other servers, @FediThing runs a great website: fedi.garden/

Why can't insist on LONG POST warnings, or shrink posts that go over a certain limit, so ppl can't impose their (often) bloated opinions on the rest of us.
Then if we see a post that looks interesting we can expand it, rather having to spend 30 seconds scrolling down just to get to the end of it.
It gets quite annoying.

And yes, this is definately a first world rant, but at least it's a short one.

Who should I be following on lately?
(Boosts appreciated)

I'd appreciate some help finding more people to follow-- tags below give a sense of who I'm looking to follow-- is this you or anyone you think I should be following?

Despite following almost 650 people over the last few years, my timeline feels increasingly empty and stale lately, a ghost town compared to a year ago or more, and I'm looking at refreshing things a bit. A lot of people have left the platform or are (understandably) afraid to post so much, especially due to the chilling effect of rising . But I'm still here, still posting. Still writing my shit. Still trying to read and engage with others.

Hey Fediverse! Request for comments on some software. I'm looking for an application to assist with multiple social media accounts, ie: posting to multiple platforms simultaneously, (Mastodon included of course), and ideally one that supports multiple brand account groups so I can manage clients.

Hootsuite would fit the bill feature-wise but it's paid-only, can't be self hosted, and doesn't support Mastodon.

I'm not opposed to paying for software, but open source and self-hosting are musts.

Any thoughts?

Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky).

Hey Fediverse! Request for comments on some software. I'm looking for an application to assist with multiple social media accounts, ie: posting to multiple platforms simultaneously, (Mastodon included of course), and ideally one that supports multiple brand account groups so I can manage clients.

Hootsuite would fit the bill feature-wise but it's paid-only, can't be self hosted, and doesn't support Mastodon.

I'm not opposed to paying for software, but open source and self-hosting are musts.

Any thoughts?

Hey everyone,

While @joynewacc’s Internet connection is offline during her move, I was lucky enough to have @aseelfromgz with me today as we carried out today’s verification video calls for Gaza Verified and we’re happy to welcome four new accounts/families to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Mohamed Hesham – @mohamedhesham
• Naeema family – @naeemafamily
• Hema Alshaer – @hemaalshaer
• Seraj Alnajjar – @serajnjar20

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

Also, please remember that Aseel is in Gaza too and is helping others despite facing the very same challenges herself. You can help her and her family via her:

• PayPal (easier for them to get the funds): paypal.com/donate/?hosted_butt
• GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/help-aseel-and-

Who should I be following on lately?
(Boosts appreciated)

I'd appreciate some help finding more people to follow-- tags below give a sense of who I'm looking to follow-- is this you or anyone you think I should be following?

Despite following almost 650 people over the last few years, my timeline feels increasingly empty and stale lately, a ghost town compared to a year ago or more, and I'm looking at refreshing things a bit. A lot of people have left the platform or are (understandably) afraid to post so much, especially due to the chilling effect of rising . But I'm still here, still posting. Still writing my shit. Still trying to read and engage with others.

Why is it that, many times, when someone boosts a post and I go to it, I can see the booster's name, date, etc. but I can't get to the original post or see the original poster's name? I am on the main someplace.social page and am using NVDA with Firefox. My guess is that, if I went to my Home timeline, I could see it there, but why not at the actual post?

Hey everyone,

I’d like to welcome four more Palestinian friends (and their families) from Gaza to Gaza Verified.

I had the honour of speaking with them during the last hour. Joy’s Internet connection is sadly offline as she’s moving house and so it was just me in the meetings. Thankfully, everyone spoke far better English than I do Arabic and we were able to manage. It never gets easy being shown the scenes of devastation in Gaza. You see it in the news but it hits differently through someone’s mobile phone.

In any case, please give a warm welcome to our newest Gaza Verified members and their families:

• Maisa (@maisakr) – I was lucky enough to also meet Lana, one of her three children :)
• Mohamed Dawed (@Mohamed_Dawed)
• Mohammed Hamada (@mohammedhamada)
• Rawan (@Rawan_kh22)

Unlike traditional platforms, the Fediverse doesn't have an algorithm to push posts. Instead, content needs to be boosted by other users to gain visibility. In this case, the user employed another site — with zero active users (see screenshot) — to boost their own post. The boosting account was created just yesterday (see screenshot), making the intent even more obvious.

Please note the obvious: a brand-new Fedi site with no active users and no activity would not immediately be well federated with another random, relatively new and unknown Fedi site. That’s not how the Fediverse works!

The domains involved in this scheme are fuckass.space and darkestalleygang.lol

There’s a misconception about the ceasefire. People think life gets better instantly. It doesn’t. I still walk through the market staring at fruits I can’t afford.
Our house was destroyed months ago along with our gas cylinder and stove. Yesterday we got an SMS to collect gas, but a new cylinder is $200 and the gas stove is $600. Unreal.

A ceasefire stops the bombs, not the struggle. If you want to help, even a little support goes a long way.

Do you want to customise your Mastodon timeline so that it shows more of the stuff you want, and less of the stuff you don't want?

The timeline on Mastodon deliberately doesn't use any algorithm, and instead lets users decide what they see. There are lots of features you can use to customise your timeline including following accounts/hashtags/groups, filters, lists, notifications, blocks, mutes, boost mutes, conversation mutes and more:

I just discovered that a.gup.pe - the old groups service has stopped working - apparently a couple of weeks ago because their TLD allowed the domain to be sold from under its rightful owner even though it hadn't expired (be sure to renew your domains as soon as you get the renewal notice folks!) - It looks like FediGroups is the new way: about.fedigroups.social/ Although after being overwhelmed when a.gup.pe collapsed they aren't taking new group submissions. If anyone knows of an existing group either there or on another groups service, please let me know! (I see @histodons made it over to the new service already, so that's handy as "Histodons" is another one I often see people post to!)

Not sure how I feel about this.

There's Postiz, integrates with and . Looks great, well-designed,

There's Gitroom, Github Library, and Grow Chief commercial products around helping open source projects. Okay.

And then there's agentheroes.ai ..

All from the same company. AI characters? Like fake accounts that you can let roam these Postiz channels?

It may be well meant, but rife for abuse, no?

A while ago, I noticed that the media storage of my Mastodon server was close to using up my entire hard drive on this server, so I started running tootctl media remove --days=7 in a daily cron job.

I thought, naively, that the deleted media would be re-fetched the next time I viewed it. But it seems like posts with deleted media are just permanently broken; even my own boosts from over a week ago have broken images now.

Is there any way to fix this? Or are my local copies of those posts broken for good?

Edit: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i might describe the issue, maybe it's a recent bug. I'm not using --prune-profiles though.

Edit2: Now I can see the images, but they were definitely broken before, the problem seems to come and go for some reason... 🤔

Well, it seems like this Guardian og:image not loading issue has stalled again and dropped off the radar of the devs. I've put a fix in, but now it seems to have been pushed down to page 2 on the Issues and Pull Request lists. If anyone wants their links to The Guardian to load preview images on their Mastodon instance, can you please go to this GitHub Issue and leave a comment that you want this fixed so that the moderators know to actually make it a priority?

First of all I don't want y'all to be mad at me for saying that but since my "manager" asked me what is the best platform I ever used. I said Mastodon (sorry Sharkey users) in front of 23 people and I was afriad from the people.

I had to run away from all the people and I couldn't do anything at work after what I said. Because Sharkey was litterary known in the company (yes, I work part-time). Mastodon wasn't even known to many people. Only by the people who have been using or hearing about it.

Someone shared this post on a forum kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPoss.

I tried loading it on Tusky, but there was no response. I searched for the author of the post while logged into my instance but received the message "Account suspended." However, when I access the link directly, I can see the content.

Does any guru understand what's happening?

I found it quite confusing.

I believe Mastodon (and the broader fediverse) is chock-full of [conservationist/naturalist/environmentalist] friendly geeks.

Furthermore, there's an unmet demand for posts from non-profit orgs which are working to advance these topics... and quite literally trying to save the world.

Now, if only I could point them to a post with tons of engagement, as proof... hmmm...

@juergen_hubert Oh hello, I'm a teen! I honestly spend most of my social media time on the fediverse already. Most of my friends aren't interested though; their current social media is enough for them and they don't really care to try other things.

At one point our school shut down Google Chat, so I managed to get them all on Matrix[0], but we kinda abandoned that after a while. I still use it, but no longer with them.

As for getting them to spend time here - that's hard, they have no reason to. Most of them haven't realized how addicted they are to social media, haven't learnt about cybersecurity, data privacy, or any of the other things that bring most people here.

They also wouldn't care that there's no algorithm. The algorithm is what appeals to them on most platforms. It's why they're there.

The Fediverse is also more difficult to join and figure out. For instagram or TikTok, all you need to do is download the app, enter a username, email, password, and you're done. Here, you have to choose your instance, oftentimes apply for your account, and then set it up fully yourself, without an algorithm showing you things. On top of that, you can then choose the app you use (I'm writing this from Elk Canary[1]), and so it becomes overwhelming.

If you have ideas for simplifying it and making it easier, I'm open to hearing them. I'd love if some of my friends joined the Fediverse but it's hard to explain to people what it is, let alone convince them to sign up.

0: matrix.org
1: main.elk.zone

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention this, but most people my age don't care about text based media. Their short-form video content is enough for them. None of them have Twitter accounts, either, just Instagram and TikTok. Maybe a few of them would join the Fediverse, but most of them don't even care for text content.

Ok, so it's been awhile, but I have a serious question to my follows.

What's the best in current "tiny but public" Mastodon servers, because I'm wondering if there's a better solution for interacting with the Fedi vs then a stack that goes "NOM" resources with regularity.

I'd also like a platform that doesn't have to such complicated functionality as quotes be something that exist in a side branch for years.

🧵 arguing that all responses to a new post (the original post of any thread) and responses to those responses should be routed to all the participants through the instance hosting the original poster (and that all responses should mandatorily inherit the privacy level of the original post, and also mandatorily inherit the “privacy group” of recipients set by the original post).

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

I think this will also eliminate the need to tag the users one is responding to, for them to receive notifications. That will save many characters which can be used for actual post content.

(The need to tag in Mastodon-like platforms is a headache. If there are too many people participating in a conversation, then a whole lot of characters are lost in tags. In addition, one also has to think of hashtags. So very few characters are left for the actual post.)

So... say, user UA on instance A writes a new post. User UB on instance B replies. User UC on instance C replies to UB’s post. User UD replies to UC’s post. UD’s post should reach instances C and B though A (D -> A -> C and D -> A -> B). Same with all other replies.

This may also give the OP the authority to delete any subsequent post in that thread.

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

In addition, all of the subsequent posts, even posts that do not tag the OP, should be routed through the original poster’s instance.

Not only should every subsequent post in the thread inherit the original privacy level, but it should also inherit the “privacy group” of recipients set by the OP (followers-only, mentioned-people-only, etc.)

What happens if some reply post tags an outsider? What ought to happen?

Not sure, maybe tagging should be forbidden for follower-only posts? And replies should be forbidden from tagging anyone in mentioned-people-only posts?

I have had this in mind for quite some time, but I think a reasonable solution to all of the above issues would be to make the original poster and the original post the authority over the entire thread. I am combining the points made by @jdp23 and @osma here, and trying to generalize.

This means a followers-only thread is going to be utterly broken, with each reply being visible only to a random subset of participants. And then it is common on the Fedi for people to randomly tag others, which will cause even more disorientation.

My account is default public, and I am more of a lurker (because I am from the global south, and there’s no community for me here); so the peculiar dynamics that @jdp23 highlighted had never occurred to me—that the followers-only reply to a followers-only post will be visible only to the followers of the responding poster and NOT the followers of the OP.

Because the "Explore" page makes me a little bit angry when I see EVERY SINGLE DAY the same accounts posting screenshots that do not contain any alt text descriptions. Not cool 😒

To be clear: I understand that the racism on Fedi is a larger political problem—it stems from interpenetrating dimensions of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, and all other forms of exploitation. There isn’t, there cannot be, a technical-only solution to the problem.

My suggestion in this thread will only cut off one particular mode of harassment. But I feel this step is worth taking, as one among many.

Feral Thoughts

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

I also don’t see any advantage of the present model where each reply post can have a different visibility. If someone wants a different privacy level for their response to some post, they can always write a new post with the desired privacy level, include the link to the post they want to respond to, and tag the relevant users.

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

Of course, an abuser can start a new “followers only” or “mentioned users only” post tagging the victim. But they can do it even today, that’s another aspect of the problem, and it will need other solutions.

Feral Thoughts

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

To put this differently, only a new post (the original post of a thread) should have the option to select privacy levels. Every single reply in a thread or a sub-thread should simply inherit the privacy level of the original post.

This will cut off the abusers’s ability to create pile ups in reply threads that are invisible to everyone bar the victim and the abusers themselves.

Feral Thoughts

@feralthoughts@union.place · Reply to Feral Thoughts's post

One technical solution to alleviate this problem would be to force replies to inherit the privacy level of the parent post. If the parent post is “public” or “quiet public”, then the reply also has to be “public” or “quiet public”.

When the victim mentions publicly that they are facing harassment, other Fedi users respond saying that they don’t see any abusive replies, and blame the victim for being too sensitive, or for not correctly using the moderation tools.

Basically, an abuser replies with post privacy level set to “followers only” or “mentioned users only”, and tagging only the victim and the abuser’s followers. The followers of the abuser then pile on, with their own abusive replies, all set to “followers only” or “mentioned users only”.

🧵arguing that we should do away with “privacy level” options for reply posts (in case of Mastodon and Mastodon-like Fediverse platforms which follow that model), to eliminate the ability of racists to hide their abuse of black users behind “mentioned users only” replies.

Since 15 September, IFTAS has been tracking a coordinated network of accounts operating across Mastodon. These accounts are engaged in a high-volume propaganda campaign, promoting pro-Russian narratives and linking to Telegram channels associated with known state-aligned disinformation operations.

Since 15 September, IFTAS has been tracking a coordinated network of accounts operating across Mastodon. These accounts are engaged in a high-volume propaganda campaign, promoting pro-Russian narratives and linking to Telegram channels associated with known state-aligned disinformation operations.

We became aware of a related investigation by the Antibot4Navalny research team that observed these accounts bridging to Bluesky, and we have since collaborated to enhance our investigations and share our findings. Their public post provides further context.

We have been contacting affected Mastodon administrators, and are now moving to a public advisory to inform the broader network.

The network includes accounts impersonating reputable news outlets such as BBC News, Euronews, and Meduza, designed to give credibility to Telegram propaganda links. We believe it may be connected to the “Pravda/Portal Kombat” pro-Russia propaganda network.

Accounts are hosted across numerous Mastodon instances and bridged into Bluesky, creating the appearance of independent sources. Activity on Bluesky helped reveal aggregate patterns, identical usernames, posting schedules, and content themes more clearly than across decentralised Mastodon services.

This campaign appears to mimic tactics observed in earlier influence operations, blending low-cost automation with impersonation and volume-based amplification.

We are sharing data with participants of the Social Web ISAC, and we issued a public advisory along with a list of observed usernames.

We are aware of accounts hosted on abandoned or unmanaged services, we may issue a Limit recommendation for those domains at a later date.

If you provide or can link to tools that may benefit administrators in identifying and/or managing these accounts, please let us know.

Anyone can create their own fully independent Mastodon server, and it's much cheaper and easier than you might think.

If you don't want to do the techy stuff, you can use a managed hosting provider who does all the techy stuff for you (installation, upgrades, fixes etc) as well as hosting your server. These typically cost about 5 to 10 euros/dollars per month for the smallest servers.

Here's a step-by-step guide covering the whole process:

This is a pretty interesting blog post regarding Mastodon adopting concepts inspired by Bluesky. Plus, the fact it was posted today shows how Bluesky users moving to Mastodon was very influential.

I think Packs will be a good thing for Mastodon's growth but not necessarily for the quality of posts on Mastodon.

TIL: apparently one of the main technical hurdles for universities to run their own instances is to make the instance work with the institution's SSO (most often Shibboleth).

Jeg bruker kun home, dvs at jeg ser fra folk jeg følger. Jeg kan se nytten av local for mindre instanser, men aldri public. Det er bare for mye, for fort på for mange språk? (INB4 språkfilter)

TIL: apparently one of the main technical hurdles for universities to run their own instances is to make the instance work with the institution's SSO (most often Shibboleth). It seems there would be a huge opportunity to facilitate the entrance of such major multiplicators into the Fediverse. cc. @Gargron

ほお、Blueskyのスターターパック機能に相当するものをMastodonに用意することを検討していると。Mastodonらしくユーザー側でパック追加許可を選択でき、パックに追加されたら通知を行ったり、自分でパックから外れるようにできることも考えていると(Blueskyのスターターパックは自分が追加された場合、外してもらうにはスターターパックの作者に連絡してお願いするか、その作者をブロックするしかないらしい)。

User ban controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality

This is a pretty interesting blog post regarding Mastodon adopting concepts inspired by Bluesky. Plus, the fact it was posted today shows how Bluesky users moving to Mastodon was very influential.

I think Packs will be a good thing for Mastodon's growth but not necessarily for the quality of posts on Mastodon.

Something that could make Mastodon safer and more pleasant to use would be reply controls.

This would optionally allow users to specify who can reply to their posts, so that people who experience abusive replies from bigots, trolls etc can pre-emptively prevent that happening.

It would also give people a middle option between follower-only posts and public posts.

@thisismissem

is a shit job. always was, always will be. it's a human problem, no tech can dispel the chore. someone always has to be there, moderating

of course tooling can help immensely. the tooling shifts and manages the chore. that shift can be in good ways. also maybe unintentional bad ways

you know all this

i'm just laying it out so i can say:

on , and on , as you say, create new terrible problems

i'm saying this tooling shift is a bad idea

This is an interesting idea. I was not aware that had this feature. While I love the idea of helping people get more immediate value out of the platform, I agree that this needs to be an "opt-in" type of feature.

As an instance admin, I know there is a way to suggest users from your instance to new users, but that is very different. Mainly because these packs would aid in since users could be from other Mastodon instances.

I'm not sure that I like that the new iOS client renders style emphasis in the client without a setting indicating that this will happen to the posts.

I would very much like the possibility of having the server render to rich text (HTML), but not this.

I brought this up to the Mastodon team (no response yet), but I wonder if the solution, at least a temporary one, to the problem where people get harassed with followers-only posts that @ mention them, thus hiding these posts from public view and moderators, and allowing the abuser's followers to pile on, could be as simple as allowing to filter out such notifications.

A mocked up screenshot of the notification settings page. Among the default options (see full list below) I added:

Followers-only mentions from accounts you don't follow

Since the influx of Blue Sky and Twitter users, Mastodon Dot Social had unfortunately — but temporarily — experienced a few Nazi accounts, all of which have since been removed. However, a few individuals are now wrongfully claiming that the Fediverse is no different, simply because a few bad individuals managed to make it here.

What they’re choosing to ignore is the key difference: those accounts were dealt with and rightfully removed. The fact that they weren’t caught immediately does not support the implications being made. 🙄

Haters are going to hate. 🤷

💡 Proposal for ActivityPub: FediStamp

What if any federated platform (Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed, PeerTube, WriteFreely...) could offer automatic certification of original content?

When publishing a poem, article, photo or video, you check "Certify original content" and the system gives you:

🔗 A public verifiable link to the registry

📄 A .fedistamp file as permanent proof

✅ A visible badge (Certified content) with clickable link

🧩 Metadata embedded in ActivityPub that travels with each share

Example: I publish a poem on Mastodon, enable the option, and instantly get my ✓ certified proof of authorship.

👉 This doesn't replace copyright (which already protects you), but strengthens it with technical evidence of authorship and date.

⚡ Key points:

Only registers the content hash (no cryptocurrency, just authorship certification).

Free.

Opt-in: you choose what to certify.

Automatic protection for creators across the federated ecosystem, without relying on centralized platforms.

I'm not a programmer, just a writer who sees the need. If someone technical sees merit and feasibility, go ahead.

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

 notes, Link is on Blacksky. But being banned by Bluesky has resulted in his account disappearing from Blacksky as well. 

We're still several steps away from having the ability to escape deficient Bluesky moderation by moving to another server.

💡 Proposal for ActivityPub: FediStamp

What if any federated platform (Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed, PeerTube, WriteFreely...) could offer automatic certification of original content?

When publishing a poem, article, photo or video, you check "Certify original content" and the system gives you:

🔗 A public verifiable link to the registry

📄 A .fedistamp file as permanent proof

✅ A visible badge (Certified content) with clickable link

🧩 Metadata embedded in ActivityPub that travels with each share

Example: I publish a poem on Mastodon, enable the option, and instantly get my ✓ certified proof of authorship.

👉 This doesn't replace copyright (which already protects you), but strengthens it with technical evidence of authorship and date.

⚡ Key points:

Only registers the content hash (no cryptocurrency, just authorship certification).

Free.

Opt-in: you choose what to certify.

Automatic protection for creators across the federated ecosystem, without relying on centralized platforms.

I'm not a programmer, just a writer who sees the need. If someone technical sees merit and feasibility, go ahead.

The big accounts will tell you it's the people on they don't like. But remember, they kept drinking from Twitter's feed long after the milk turned.

Professional posters need a game to beat; a system to rig. They need a marketplace of ideals to sell soundbites and merch.

is closer to a community than a market. You can't sell anything without a market.

It's not the sign-up process that's preventing a mass-migration to . Reduce barriers to entry, sure. But it was not so long that we had to load a CD, type in credentials, and listen to the Internet demons summon our connection.

No, it's that Mastodon isn't suitable for Internet fame. The big accounts will ever come to a place that doesn't support an algorithmic caste system. How'd they know who's more important? If the big accounts won't come neither will anyone else

If you're using the official Mastodon mobile app, you might want to try using a third party app instead.

Third party apps tend to have more features than the official ones, and most people I know switch to third party apps after trying them. More info and lots of questions answered in the guide at:

➡️ fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use

Mastodon was designed to work through third party apps, and originally had no official apps at all.

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.

Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?

Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.

Supportive, or constructively critical, both are welcome!

Notes:

* These are draft terms specific to those two instances, although they might form the basis of a template or two in future. Perhaps.

* They are *not* terms which apply to the whole fediverse, or all Mastodon instances etc.

Hello all.

Mastodon does NOT solicit paid verification.

Looks like there’s a new version of the fake ‘Mastodon Team’ phishing attempts that are targeting new users by replying to Introduction posts.

Again, please alert new users, and please report and block this fraudulent account.

A phishing post with a link for the unwary from a new so-called ‘Mastodon Team’ account.  It reads “ Hello, dear Mastodon user! We've noticed your activity on our forum and are ready to offer you cooperation. To proceed, please complete the verification using the link that our assistant will send you below. [bad link] Once verified, you will be able to receive monthly payments from our company. Thank you for everything, Mastodon!”

Features I would love in a client:

* A "check" functionality that you could invoke either explicitly when you feel the need, or automatically at some interval, that would:
** Tell you if a toot that you have replied to has been deleted, and in that case offer to delete your reply, too
** Possibly more similar

* A way to "subscribe" to replies to some toot where you feel you will be interested in the replies

* A way to prioritise toots from accounts you choose, or with hashtags that you choose. At least three degrees of priority.

Can you think of more?

Is there a client with features like this? Cross-platform (iOS and macOS for me), or possibly even web-based?

Is there any progress in supporting HDR photos on Mastodon? Does Pixelfed support them? The vast majority of cameras people carry with them (iPhones and modern Android phones) take HDR photos; it would be nice to be able to share them while retaining how they look on the camera that took them.

I recall this needs work both in ingesting photos (compression needs to retain the tone mapping and a format that supports HDR) plus the app front-ends to actually display HDR content.

So basically, all the / heads were right about Jay not being immune from the same brain virus that gets every other social-tech CEO. I take the L there.

But the problem with the Fediverse is that it allows anyone to get the same social-tech CEO brain virus and you can't move your posts when that happens.

If you could be a nomad (and keep your data) here, the problem would instantly be solved.

Also in light of #bluesky fucking up yet again and people might be looking for #akkoma / #mastodon instances I'm opening up https://social.andmc.ca for registration. It has a cool Akira and Chainsaw man background. So...I got that going for me. #fediverse

Getting started with Mastodon's Quote Posts - technical implementation details for servers

shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/10/getti

Quoting posts on Mastodon is slightly complex. Because of the privacy conscious nature of the platform and its users, reposting isn't merely a case of sharing a URl.

A user writes a status. The user can choose to make their statuses quotable or not. What happens when a quoter quotes that post?

I've read through the specification and tried to simplify it. Quoting is a multi-step process:

  1. The status must opt-in to being shared.
  2. The quoter quotes the status.
  3. The quoter's server sends a request to the status's server.
  4. The status's server sends an accept message back to the quoter's server.
  5. When other servers see the quote, they check with the status's server to see if it is allowed.

I'm going to walk you through each stage as best as I understand them.

Opting In

An ActivityPub status message is JSON. In order to opt-in, it needs this additional field.

 JSON"interactionPolicy": {  "canQuote": {    "automaticApproval": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"  }}

That tells ActivityPub clients that anyone is allowed to quote this post. It is also possible to say that only specific users, or only followers, or no-one is allowed.

The QuoteRequest

Someone has hit the quote post button, typed their own message, and shared their wisdom. Their server sends the following message to the server which hosts the quoted status. This has been edited for brevity.

 JSON{  "@context": [    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",    {      "QuoteRequest":   "https://w3id.org/fep/044f#QuoteRequest",    }  ],  "type": "QuoteRequest",  "id":     "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent/quote_requests/1234-5678-9101",  "actor":  "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent",  "object": "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json",  "instrument": {    "id":           "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent/statuses/123456789",    "url":          "https://mastodon.test/@Edent/123456789",    "attributedTo": "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent",    },    "quote":          "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json",    "_misskey_quote": "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json",    "quoteUri":       "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json"  }}

All this says is "I would like permission to quote you."

The Stamp

The quoted server needs to approve this quote. First, it generates a "stamp".

This is a file which lives on the quoted server. It is proof that the quote is allowed. If it is deleted, the quote permission is revoked. The filename must be the same as the stamp's ID.

 JSON{  "@context": [    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",    {      "gts": "https://gotosocial.org/ns#",      "QuoteAuthorization": {        "@id": "https://w3id.org/fep/044f#QuoteAuthorization",        "@type": "@id"      },      "interactingObject": {        "@id": "gts:interactingObject"      },      "interactionTarget": {        "@id": "gts:interactionTarget"      }    }  ],  "type": "QuoteAuthorization",  "id":                "https://example.com/quote-987654321.json",  "attributedTo":      "https://example.com/users/username",  "interactionTarget": "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json"  "interactingObject": "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent/statuses/123456789",}

If the quoted status is viewed from a different server, that server will query the stamp to make sure the share is allowed.

The Accept

This is the message that the quoted server sends to the quoting server. It references the request and the stamp.

 JSON{  "@context": [    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",    {      "QuoteRequest": "https://w3id.org/fep/044f#QuoteRequest"    }  ],  "type": "Accept",  "to":    "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent",  "id":    "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json",  "actor": "https://example.com/account",  "object": {    "type": "QuoteRequest",    "id":         "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent/quote_requests/1234-5678-9101",    "actor":      "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent",    "instrument": "https://mastodon.test/users/Edent/statuses/123456789"    "object":     "https://example.com/posts/987654321.json",  },  "result": "https://example.com/quote-987654321.json"}

The "result" must be the same as the stamp's URl.

And then?

You can follow and quote @colours@colours.bots.edent.tel on your favourite Fediverse platform.

I've written an ActivityPub server in a single file which is designed to teach you have the protocol works. Have a play with ActivityBot.

Bluesky was never an alternative. I don't say it isn't better than Twitter; it is. However, the only genuine alternative, as of now, remains the Fediverse and Mastodon.

And most people won't admit it because they're too lazy to go through the "server browser" procedure, which is literally two clicks.

We put no effort into things and expect better/different results? That's silly.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t Tumblr just another microblogging site? Wouldn’t Mastodon be a viable alternative?

I'm not complaining about there being another fediverse software; I’m just trying to understand the differences or if it’s just splitting hairs.

Honestly, I'm curious about this myself. I know Wafrn offers more styling options (Markdown and HTML) and lengthier posts than Mastodon. But what other differences are there?

Decentralization/Bluesky/Fedi Rambling

The problem isn't ActivityPub (the underlying tech that drives Fedi/Mastodon) vs ATProto (the underlying tech that drives Bluesky), the problem is convincing people why they should care about decentralization in the first place, and why some of its trade-offs are actually worth it. :blobcorgi_excited:

ATProto will never be decentralized. It's not designed to be. :meowshrug:​ It's built to make sure everyone's data is completely public so then it can be aggregated by centralized networks built from your data. While it can take in data from decentralized sources, the network itself (the interactions, the likes, the replies, the reposts) are all centralized to one network. It's why Bluesky feels so centralized despite claims to the contrary, because it is centralized. It's also why Bluesky will never have privacy controls, because it relies on everyone's data being completely public.

ActivityPub is properly decentralized, which is great if you want proper freedom from big tech firms, but a problem when the experience feels a bit disjointed. Fedi is awkward to join and to navigate, it's difficult to explain how it works, and, frankly, some of the servers in the network are run by shitty people who shouldn't be in charge of a server, but you don't know that until you join. :meowdizzy:​ That sucks.

The problem is that those headaches are worth it. We are immune from arbitrary ToS decisions, we can't be bought or sold to private equity, Trump can't come in and strong-arm us into giving a voice to Nazis, etc. Our communities are moderated by members of our community, we'll never have an employee who doesn't understand our subculture randomly decide to delete your posts, and we certainly won't have AI misidentify your post and randomly ban your account. We have really strong privacy controls because the network is built on them and not built on needing to suck up everyone's personal data.

Aspects of decentralizaton sucks, sure, and you're right to feel that they suck. There are plenty of smart people working on solving some of those problems, but in the meantime, isn't it worth having a bit of a learning curve in order to have proper freedom for your place on the internet?

Have you customised your Mastodon profile yet?

Profiles can be customised in lots of ways including pictures, banners, text, links, verification, pinned post threads etc. There's a complete guide to all the different ways to customise a profile at:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-customise-m

By the way, the text description on your profile is perhaps the most important part. The text is often overlooked or an afterthought, but it is one of the main ways people discover accounts on here.

This one stuck out to me:

“Pick a wedge, then keep widening the aperture only when the core is working. Music => Podcasts => Audiobooks.”

While “working” is an infinitely debatable term, I’d say the Fediverse has “microblogging” wedged pretty nicely. So how do we grow from here?

My take is: bring more content, and more ways to use this cool “universal inbox” that is . Let me subscribe to private feeds (Substack) or be a patron to a podcast (Patreon)

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have it, but I would like people to at least know WHY we have this. Given you can already opt out of search results w/ a setting, why you wouldn't just use "Followers only" instead?

With all humility, thanks to Aral, Joy, and all of you for your support that allowed us to evacuate to southern Gaza. My children and I are sharing a small tent with my friend’s family, and I cannot afford to buy a tent or land for us. Please help us find a safe shelter for my children. Your support is our hope and salvation. Thank you from the heart.

很多的我们是因为热爱自由和民主的信念而来到这个平台的。

我和很多 的程序员是为了大家能有一个自由的信息交流平台而帮忙开发 的,这也是像传统平台的一种抗战。所以今天你才能用大家努力开发出来的 在这里说话。

我们中国和海外的抗战者为了大家发声而被打,被抓,被杀,不是为了你的娱乐而付出的。

你热爱的是:
- 每天抗战者被中共迫害的娱乐新闻
- 一个全民观众的社会

I have a Mastodon List of "Group Accounts", which makes for a good timeline of discussions around specific topics.

I have no idea how @phanpy would accomplish this, but it would be cool to have a type of "Catch Up" page where posts are organized by Group Account, sorted by date and thread.

I mean at that point you might as well just visit PieFed or NodeBB! But it would be nice. :)

We had great input from @mergesort that also helped to shape our thinking around how to implement the feature.

Finally, we want to thank all the people who gave feedback on our FEP, blogs, here on , and gave advice on the Mastodon Patreon Discord. We could not have done it without you!

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

This is the default profile photo assigned when you first create a Mastodon account.

If you're still using this photo, and someone like me — who occasionally clears out inactive accounts — sees that you joined 11 months ago but haven’t posted in the past 6, and you never bothered to update your profile... Bye-bye.

The default Mastodon photo is an all light gray background, that is nearly while, but still soft gray, with a lightly shaded gray elephant.

A friendly reminder for all who are looking for an alternative to gup.pe because it has apparently been taken over by new and/or unknown entities.

tootgroup.py offers group functionality for Mastodon, Pleroma, GotoSocial and probably others (albeit untested). All you need is an account that acts as your group and some computer running Python that regularily connects to it.

Its written by me, easy, lightweight and most importantly, not dependant on a third party service.

Some issues need thinking:
- Account's posts don't have `exclude_quotes` filter? Should it have such filter? docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/
- Should searches have `has:quote` operator? Probably should add as feature request on 🤔
- Grouped notifications for quotes? docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/ — I could probably try this on client-side first
- "Quotes" filter on Phanpy's Catch-up?

I think they're busy getting quote toots ready for the v4.5.0 release.

This Pull Request was created as alternative to mine, but unfortunately it doesn't actually fix the problem.

My current SRE role is coming to an end, and the current market is scary.

If you enjoy someone's post on go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no , ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.

Been pondering the change in the plugin to depreciate Template Tags and (presumably eventually) only federate WP posts as Article objects.

My posts currently federate as Notes, with the full text displayed by Mastodon. Updates are also correctly federated.

When federating as an Article, only the summary is shown in Mastodon. (Fair enough!) But subsequent edits are not reflected - despite their presence in the Update action.

Is this as expected?

I've migrated my account twice. It was not a very complex process, and took me less than half an hour each time. And I took almost all of my followers with me automatically.

And if you are on Mastodon.social, I recommend that you should consider migrating your account, too. I don't have anything personally against that instance, mind you. But it is _bad_ for the if there is any instance that has become "too big to block". If the moderators struggle with keeping out bad actors - and I've heard that there is a problem with that over there - then admins of other instances have to face the difficult choice of either tolerating an instance with bad actors, or cutting off their own users from a huge chunk of the people they are connected with.

And each instance has their own safety needs. I mean, I wouldn't want the strict enforcement of, say, Mastodon.art for my own instance, but I understand and can appreciate why their admins act as they do.

If you want to see the dangers of a "top-heavy" Fediverse, just look to . In theory, they are a federated system. But in practice, the vast majority of all users are concentrated on one system with one set of moderators so that their moderation sets the tone for Bluesky in its entirety - and their users have little choices but to accept that.

On the Fediverse, we have the chance to avoid that. And the more spread out the user base is, the better will the moderation be - it keeps everyone honest if users can easily leave to a different instance with better moderation.

A friendly reminder for all who are looking for an alternative to gup.pe because it has apparently been taken over by new and/or unknown entities.

tootgroup.py offers group functionality for Mastodon, Pleroma, GotoSocial and probably others (albeit untested). All you need is an account that acts as your group and some computer running Python that regularily connects to it.

Its written by me, easy, lightweight and most importantly, not dependant on a third party service.

Howto and Download from its Github Page: https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py

afaict is built on this central database thingy "didplc" that I know they plan to outsource to a non profit. better but still a problem imo cause non profits can be evil (or just plain dumb) too.

so how does avoid a centralization problem like this and what are the tradeoffs in the different models?

To fediverse admins:

If you see an attempt to create a copy of a Gaza Verified member’s account on your server, without having heard from me first, please suspend it and get in touch with me if you can.

I have asked the Gaza Verified members not to migrate their accounts without telling me first so I can reach out to one of our friendly server admins (gaza-verified.org/guide/#serve) and help them manage the process.

(And one of the rules of Gaza Verified is that you must have only one active Mastodon account.)

Also note that while some of our members have trouble putting the Gaza Verified link up properly, the link should be outside of the bio as an actual verified link (green/checkmark in web interface or some sort of verification mark in the various native apps).

Even if the link is up incorrectly, you can check on the Gaza Verified web site if they are listed or not (gaza-verified.org). But do let me know if it is not and we can help them fix it.

Is there a fediverse admins hashtag I can use to get this seen by the right folks?

Thanks!

mastodon migration question: want to move a server from managed hosting to own server, and the docs mention saving the redis db, but not why. from my own experience redis is always treated as ephemeral so this seems weird. i assume its because its got user sessions saved in there and its nicer to not make everyone re-login at once?

There's a renewed conversation around the lack of options for migrating post history when you move to a new Mastodon server.

And seeing a few people mentioning how this can be a reason for folks to give up on the fediverse when their server shuts down, I hope the Mastodon team will prioritize this.

Been thinking about how Mastodon feels like my memory of the early-90s Internet. Small. Academic. Dispersed. Community-focused. Something a lot of people had heard about, but mostly hadn’t really tried themselves.

In terms of pure numbers it was far from mainstream. And yet, somehow, the most interesting people seemed to be there.

There's a renewed conversation around the lack of options for migrating post history when you move to a new Mastodon server.

And seeing a few people mentioning how this can be a reason for folks to give up on the fediverse when their server shuts down, I hope the Mastodon team will prioritize this.

Two exciting changes for the community this week:

1. It’s thrilling to see the team's hard work and thoughtfulness come to fruition with the launch of Quote Posts! (Coming soon to an instance near you in Mastodon version 4.5.) blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/

2. And the official launch of Mastodon’s managed hosting and service offerings. It’s an important step to help secure Mastodon’s financial future. It’s also one way Mastodon is working towards growing Mastodon and the beyond Mastodon.Social and Mastodon.Online. More to come on that front :) blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/

If you've been on for any considerable length of time you may have noticed that links from The Guardian never load the image in the link preview when you post them due to Mastodon modifying the CDN's Signed URL when requesting the image. Anyway, I've just implemented a fix for this on our little server here at bne.social and hopefully the fix will be merged into the main codebase sometime soon. If you want see the fixed link previews on your own instance (like you see here in this screenshot) please direct your admin to this link to help it get through github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p

It's nice that I can 'subscribe' to users and hashtags. Is there also a way that I can subscribe to a thread, so that I can see any further additions to it after I read it the first time? If not, is that a worthy feature request?

Hey 👋. A quick question to .

Suppose an user with an username @<un>@<site> deleted their account.

Now what would happen to that username 🤔 ? Will it be available to other users to claim on that @<site> after a period of time. Or will it be gone forever?

Another related question. What would happen to the usernames of idle accounts (accounts not in any use for a period of time) ?

Upgrading to Mastodon v4.4.4

Has anyone upgraded to v4.4.4 (from v4.4.3) using the usual instructions provided on GitHub?

I followed them (see below) and kept getting this error:

$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
I, [2025-09-18T19:30:50.260311 #1410905] INFO -- : [dotenv] Loaded .env.production

$ yarn run [--inspect] [--inspect-brk] [-T,--top-level] [-B,--binaries-only] [--require #0] <scriptName> ...

Build with Vite failed! ❌

I figured I was in for some pain so restarted the Mastodon services and took a look... happily running v4.4.4

WTF is that all about? Anyone seen this before? I didn't have any issues when I upgraded from v4.4.2 to v4.4.3

The Quote-Post opt-in is a Mastodon concept. It is NOT a Fediverse concept.

Misskey, the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish), Pleroma, the Pleroma forks (ex: Akkoma) — have not only supported quote-posts long before Mastodon did, but — they don't care about Mastodon's opt-in.

...

The millions of accounts that Mastodon has defaulted to not allow quote posting will only be effective with other Mastodon servers.

Other parts of the Fediverse won't care.

I don't understand this quote implementation, a lot of those quotes by @dimillian are "This post is pending approval from the original author."

It must be some weird federation requirement to accept the quote until it appears, yet another "be in the biggest server, get best experience" feature.

A friendly reminder for all who are looking for an alternative to gup.pe because it has apparently been taken over by new and/or unknown entities.

tootgroup.py offers group functionality for Mastodon, Pleroma, GotoSocial and probably others (albeit untested). All you need is an account that acts as your group and some computer running Python that regularily connects to it.

Its written by me, easy, lightweight and most importantly, not dependant on a third party service.

Howto and Download from its Github Page: https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py

@hosford42 @Em0nM4stodon Of course! Since you're already on Mastodon, the first thing I'd suggest is replacing all Big Tech social platforms with fediverse alternatives. That means Instagram with @pixelfed :pixelfed:, YouTube with @peertube 🚫:youtube:, Reddit with Lemmy 🗨️

📱 Next step - switch from WhatsApp or Messenger to @signalapp :signal: It's a secure, private messenger with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) - actually, WhatsApp is based on Signal's protocol. I also use @matrix 🌐 - it's a decentralized messenger with E2EE too. It works kind of like the fediverse - you choose a server where your messages and data are stored, and when you chat with someone, the servers federate.

:mail_smirk: You should also replace Gmail - it's pure Big Tech. I use Protom Mail :protonmail:, but I'm thinking about switching to @Tutanota. Their company seems more focused on email, while Proton is building a whole ecosystem. Both are encrypted and have great privacy policies 🔒

🌍 Now, about browsing the internet - instead of Chrome or other trackers, I recommend @brave 🦁 It has a built-in ad blocker and blocks tracking scripts. It also protects against fingerprinting and other privacy threats 🚫:eyes_happy:

🔎 And what about search engines? Time to dethrone Google. I use DuckDuckGo :duckduckgo:, @StartpageSearch, and Brave Search. Each has pros and cons, but all claim to protect your privacy.

🔐 You mentioned logging into many accounts with Google :google: - unfortunately, there's no universal way to switch to manual login. You have to check each service's settings one by one. Once you do, I recommend using a password manager that doesn't collect your metadata - @bitwarden 💪 It's open-source, had no major leaks, and you can even host it yourself.

💻 Want to go all in? Replace your operating system. It's a later step, but a powerful one. For desktop - Linux :linux: For smartphone - @GrapheneOS 📱 Both are privacy-focused and offer top-level security 🔐

🚀 Hope this helps you build your long-term path away from Big Tech. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

Howto and Download from its Github Page: https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py

Mastodon servers running the experimental ("nightly") version of Mastodon may have quote-tooting now active.

If it is active for you, it should work by clicking a post's boost 🔁 button, which offers the option to quote.

Don't worry if it's not yet active for you, this is just on experimental Mastodon as the quote feature is still being tested and bugs fixed.

Quoting will be properly released in the next server software version (v4.5.0).

(Thanks @NatureMC for info! 🙏 )

I think a lot about how we get more people like me (Gen Z, female, queer, into sports) on the Social Web.

One of the things I have realised is that the perception of the Social Web to someone like me isn't all that positive. It doesn't have a good 'vibe'.

In this blog post, I've explored the initial vibe of the Social Web to someone like me. I'd love if you checked it out.

Finally made that tool I've been planning for a while: A configurable batch deleter of , supporting a threshold date (i.e. only older bookmarks considered) and lists of accounts and hashtags to always keep.

gist.github.com/postspectacula

After editing the script to fill in your own details and preferences at the top, you can run it via command line `node delete-bookmarks.js` or paste it in the browser console to execute.

The script outputs details of each bookmark being removed, supports retrying with exponential back-off (5x) and is configured to use quite generous pauses between requests to not trigger rate limiting.

The script also prints out `max_id` values, used for pagination purposes by the Mastodon API. Should you interrupt the script to make some changes and then re-run, you can also find the latest `max_id` and set `MAX_ID` to that value in the script to save time (bookmarks are processed in batches of 40)

(FWIW I've been ferociously bookmarking posts for almost 3 years (had ~13500) and my media storage became over 100GB. So it's urgent time for some serious pruning...)

When I search for posts created by , there are no results shown despite the post existing, and Mastodon actually fetching the ActivityPub document correctly (at least according to my logs). This used to work until recently (my instance has just updated to the latest version). Sigh.

Stayed up too late tracking down why exactly og:images from The Guardian have been broken for years on Mastodon. And I can actually say that I have figured out why exactly!

TL:DR the `Addressable::URI.parse(url).normalize` function turns `overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft` into `overlay-align=bottom,left` and that results in a 401 error instead of an image.

Did up a fix here. Someone let the devs know to merge it in for the next release 😊

I am looking forward to the big @moshidon update!

Custom timelines specifically is how I genuinely feel like social media should be designed; I am surprised the official @Mastodon app hasn’t aped that and leaned into it especially with both Threads and Bluesky shipping something similar.

Eventually I’d love to see some UX iteration on the feature from either Moshidon or Mastodon proper, too; I think there could be some really nice, natural interactions around curating your feeds.

If you use Mastodon through your server's website, you might have noticed an eye icon 👁️ in the top right corner of post threads. Have you ever wondered what this does?

This icon is really useful if you are viewing a thread with lots of posts hidden by Content Warnings (CWs). Clicking the eye toggles all the CWs for the entire thread open or closed, which saves a lot of time if there are many CWed posts in that thread.

We now have to find the end of line, remove empty lines after, and move the real content to the start of the RE: link in order to hide it. This is non-satisfying and also a waste of *185 bytes* but oh well.

About that... It was stupid to set my `compose_mode` var as a string mirroring its source argv[] and then check its first char using [0] everywhere. Set it as a char from the start, simplify every comparison, -84 bytes.

Let the composer display the original toot, along with "Your quote:", when quoting.

github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/

The `if(compose_mode[0] == 'r')` got replaced with a
switch() {
case 'r':
case 'q':
...
}

You guessed why, it is tighter than if(compose_mode[0] == 'r' || compose_mode[0] == 'q').

The cc65 optimizer is far from perfect, and that or'ed if would load the variable twice, get the first char of it twice, and compare it twice. With a switch, only the comparison is done twice.

Cost so far, +46 bytes - but we're not done yet, as sending the quote would, for now, make a reply!

@colin_mcmillen@piaille.fr · Reply to Colin McMillen's post

When the user presses Q, we'll launch the composer with command-line parameters 'q' and the status ID if the toot is quotable.

The composer doesn't know what to do of that parameter combination yet, we'll get to it.

github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/

Total cost for the main binary: +168 bytes

Total cost for the composer, which I didn't directly touch yet but it already has the updated status struct and parser: +68 bytes.

As 'Q' was used to Quit, we also rename 'Quit(Q)' to 'Exit(X)' so that the Quote action has a good shortcut.

I love how thoughtful the Mastodon blog post about introducing quote posting is. A really interesting way the team could be even more impactful on the open social web would be to share their research findings and the thinking that went into these sorts of features - that's the sort of body of knowledge everyone could learn from. blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/

So excited that quote posts are rolling out. It's not a 'me too' copy but a well thought out release that protects user privacy. No other platform has taken the time to be this thorough.

This is a subtle feature and hard to discuss because so many assume quoting is ONLY about dunking. It's not! We've learned by talking to community leaders that it's a powerful tool to build community.

will be better, and safer, with this.

Briefly opened Bluesky to see a discussion about why the Swift community is almost dead there.

It's dead because the damn algorithm hides your posts.

Mastodon has pretty natural engagement and does not bury your content for the sake of engagement maximization of the platform. (sorry for yet another Bluesky vs Mastodon discussion)

just came across a post with racist asshats complaining that Mastodon will finally turn into Blacktwitter with quoted posts and i want to burn all the things down.

fuck those people and fuck everybody catering to their racist, white supremacist asses by refusing to add features to the software lest the UI/UX becomes too Black and Proud to handle.

Good morning everyone.

One million people are facing imminent death and destruction at the hands of Israel in Gaza.

Israel has issued evacuation orders for one million people. These are people who have been displaced over and over again in Israel’s ongoing genocide. They have nowhere left to go. To move South costs on average $5,000 to rent land, a tent, and sanitation due to war-time profiteering. That’s if they can get someone outside of Palestine to host their fundraiser and if they can keep their social media accounts from being shut down by mainstream Big Tech platforms and after paying half the donation amount or more in commission while withdrawing the funds that are sent to them.

Things are desperate.

Mastodon and the fediverse are the last lifeline for people from Gaza. It’s their last chance of reaching us in the outside world so that we might help them survive the genocide and famine being wrought out by Israel.

@joynewacc and I are having video conversations with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts every day to verify them in hopes that this will help them raise funds to live.

You can find the verified accounts on Gaza Verified:

https://gaza-verified.org

I hope you will follow them on the fediverse, perhaps send them a few words of love and solidarity so they know they’re not alone but that there are some of us that see, hear, love and support them.

And, if you can, please support their fundraisers, boost their posts, and share their accounts.

Thank you in advance for making our friends from Gaza who are facing unspeakable horrors welcome on the fediverse and for showing that humanity is not entirely dead in the rest of the world.

💕

PS. Please note that many Palestinians use automated translation tools, including AI-based ones so you might notice issues with translation or even transliteration (so, for example, a name is written Eman in one place but Iman in another). Also, not everyone is social media or technically savvy. These are everyday people trying to survive a genocide and a famine so please understand that there might be issues with the accounts. That doesn’t mean that they’re not genuine. If you have any concerns, you can talk to me. (Furthermore, there are concerted efforts by some groups to spread FUD about Palestinian accounts with the goal of getting them all shut down. If you notice any such behaviour, please also alert me. To server admins: closing their accounts is tantamount to handing out a death sentence. We’re here to help if you need it.)

PPS. If you know of any people from Gaza with Mastodon accounts who are not on Gaza Verified, please tell them about it. You can give them a link to https://gaza-verified.org/guide-arabic/ with further information. The guide also includes a list of Mastodon servers whose admins have publicly stated that their servers are safe spaces for Palestinians to open accounts so please feel free to share that with people from Gaza who are having their accounts closed on Bluesky and elsewhere. You can find the English version of the guide here: https://gaza-verified.org/guide/

I'm currently looking for a way to put arbitrary machine-readable data snippets in my profile page. The "extra fields" would be exactly that, but they seem to be limited to 4, with a maximum of 255 characters. It seems like this is adjustable per instance, but the defaults are too limiting. Would anyone have other ideas? (Except putting in extra dATa or tEXt chunks in the header PNG, I'll keep this as a hack of last resort 😈)

Nazis are making lists, doxxing people and hunting names, while the Bluesky team is banning folks indiscriminately. Also, consider adopting a nickname if you are going to publish leftist content.

If you only use Mastodon through the official app, you are missing out on lots of features such as scheduled posts, pinned posts, list creation, account redirects and much more.

Third party apps and Mastodon's website interface have a lot more features than the official app, and tend to get new features earlier too.

You can find out about all the different ways of using Mastodon in this guide:

The official apps are not the only way! 🙂

The new version of @mastowatch is in !

The navigation scheme for the app has been totally rebuilt and feels *awesome* in iOS 26. The prior version immediately feels ancient by comparison.

This version also includes maybe the most requested feature ever, iCloud syncing for favorites! History is still stored on your device but favorites should sync to any device running the new version.

Dear Mastodon instance admins,

Palestinians are facing genocide and famine.

If there is a Palestinian account from Gaza on your instance and it is *not* exhibiting bot-like behaviour PLEASE AT LEAST CONTACT ME before limiting/suspending it so @joynewacc and I can attempt to verify them by having a video chat with them on Signal and adding them to Gaza Verified:

https://gaza-verified.org

Blocking the accounts of Palestinians in Gaza on the fediverse is like repeatedly slamming the door in the face of Anne Frank.

Please have some humanity.

Also, if your server is a safe space for Palestinians from Gaza, please respond and let me know and I’ll add you to the list at https://gaza-verified.org/guide/

Er det nokre utvikarar der ute med peiling på som veit kva slags ekstra krav Mastodon har på toppen av ?

Eg har ei statisk side som dei fleste verktøy kan hente informasjon frå, men Mastodon hentar ikkje informasjonen. Mistenker at Mastodon er streng på content-type, noko eg ikkje kan sette sjølv på Github Pages.

The new version of @mastowatch is in !

The navigation scheme for the app has been totally rebuilt and feels *awesome* in iOS 26. The prior version immediately feels ancient by comparison.

This version also includes maybe the most requested feature ever, iCloud syncing for favorites! History is still stored on your device but favorites should sync to any device running the new version.

An estimated 5.56 billion people have access to the internet. Across social media there are 5.24 billion individual accounts. But there's only a handful of platform owners.

Something isn't adding up.

This gap leaves room for all sorts of dodgy dealing, god-like complexes, and unlawful behaviour.

Open social media, like the Open Social Web, can be the answer.

That’s why we believe social media should be built for the public, putting their social experience at the forefront, not the needs of advetisers.

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO VEBINET

Welcome to Vebinet! Vebinet is a friendly social network. Below you will find simple, step‑by‑step instructions to help you set up your account, find people to follow, explore interesting posts, and share your own thoughts with the world.

Set up your profile

You can add a profile picture, a bio, and optionally a header image. You can also link to other sites (like a personal blog).

Connecting with others

To find people, you can click Profiles directory on the bottom right corner, use search bar by typing name, username, keywords or hashtags.

Vebinet will show you recommended profiles to follow. You can choose to follow them.

You can easily search for hashtags (for example ) to find profiles and public posts that use hashtags.

Discovering content

Home
After you follow a few accounts, the Home feed shows posts from those people plus boosted (re‑shared) content.

In this way, you will get a personalized stream of what your network is talking about.

Trending
You can click Trending to see posts that are trending on Vebinet and the whole .

Live feeds
Live feeds give you real-time posts published on Vebinet and the whole .

To better organize it, you can explore content that is published on Vebinet only, in fediverse, and on both Vebinet and fediverse.

Search
You can use search bar to search for content by using keywords, hashtags, names and usernames.

Publishing your own content

Publishing your own content is very easy and Vebinet makes it discoverable not just on Vebinet, but on other social media platforms too, including other instances, Threads, Pleroma and many more.

To create a post you can click on box showing "What's in your mind" on the right side of the page.

You can publish many forms of content, including text, pictures, videos, polls, emojis.

To upload files, you can drag and drop them to the box or click icons.

After creating the post, you can click "Post" to publish it on Vebinet. Vebinet will also distribute your content to other social media platforms, so you have no need to worry about how to make your content discovered.

Use hashtags
Include relevant hashtags to make your post discoverable beyond your followers.

Visibility of content

By default, every new post is set to be Public (visible to everyone) which makes it easy to be discovered by others. If you want to change the visibility, you have the following options:

Quiet public - post is available to everyone, but not appearing in Live feeds, under hashtags, search, etc.

Followers - post is available only to your followers.

Private mention - post is available only to profiles mentioned in the post by you.

Tips for smooth experience

Be respectful
Vebinet’s community guidelines encourage kindness, no harassment, and respecting copyright.

Stay safe
Enable two‑factor authentication (2FA) in Settings for added security.

Vebinet on mobile devices
Vebinet is optimized for mobile devices and it is very easy and intuitive to use Vebinet through web browser. We are taking efforts to ensure that mobile and desktop experience remain intuitive, convenient and smooth. In the future, we will release mobile apps.

You can give feedback

If you encounter issues or want need to contact our team privately, you can always contact our team by sending an email address to admin@vebinet.com.

I’ve started compiling a list on the Gaza Verified guide page of Mastodon instances that have publicly stated that they are sympathetic to the Palestinian plight and are a safe space for Palestinians:

gaza-verified.org/guide/

If you run a Mastodon server where Palestinians can feel safe creating an account without fear of it being shut down without reason, please reply to this post and let me know and I’ll add a link to your instance on the page.

Also, please take a look at the accounts on Gaza Verified and help them out if you can. Things are worse than ever with Israel forcing yet another displacement and destroying even more of Gaza in its ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Thank you!

Looking through my archive is pretty neat. My toots, boosts, favorites, and bookmarks are all there, and I can extract whatever information I want (e.g. a list of the URLs of all the posts I've boosted) using .

I wonder, though. Is there a viewer program for the objects in the archive? The JSON representation is pretty hard to read.

That’s bugged me since I started usin . The autocomplete for usernames doesn’t work reliably, so you go to a new tab and search. Then you try to copy the name you’ve found and the whole thing is clickable links that makes selecting it incredibly hard on a touchscreen and a minor challenge with a mouse. It’s not just missing the copy button, it’s making copying actively hard.

Announcing Gaza Verified

gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

@Aseelsehwel
@NouranKhaledGh
@joynewacc
@mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Actively fetching replies in Mastodon 4.4 is a game changer for small instances, as @james reports: mastodon.exitmusic.world/@jame

It fixes an important weakness (basically a bug) of Mastodon that matters even for large servers: 2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-we

I still really like Mastodon’s “local view of social network” approach:
• Much more decentralized than a global view.
• Scales really well.
• Setting up a new server is *relatively* cheap and simple.

Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

@Aseelsehwel
@NouranKhaledGh
@joynewacc
@mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!

@Sebastian@pertsch.social

Mit v4.5 wird es eine seit Jahren gewünschte und aus anderen sozialen Netzwerken bekannte Funktion geben, deren Umsetzung sich lange hinzog und die Entwickler*innen vor einige Herausforderungen stellte – und nicht zuletzt gingen zahlreiche Diskussionen voraus, ob man diese Funktion überhaupt haben möchte. Selbst der Gründer Eugen Rochko war anfangs ein entschiedener Gegner und es gibt auch legitime Gründe, die dagegen sprechen. Doch nun kommt die Funktion sehr bald:

Beiträge von Mastodon können zitiert werden, also nicht nur einfach geteilt, sondern auch mit einer versehen werden. 💡

Standardmäßig ist für alle aktiviert, man kann sie aber (bereits jetzt schon) für eigene Beiträge einschränken oder komplett deaktivieren: In den Einstellungen unter „Erweitert“ gibt es dafür (seit Mastodon v4.4) den Abschnitt „Wer darf zitieren“.

Neben der Grundeinstellung kann die Berechtigung jederzeit individuell, also für einen externen Beitrag, der einen zitiert, zurückziehen. Ein weiteres sinnvolles Feature bei diesen : Man wird benachrichtigt, wenn jemand einen eigenen Beitrag zitiert. So behält man den Überblick, gerade bei potenziell toxischen Leuten.

Eine größere Hürde gibt es aber noch mit Blick aufs : Eine Implementierung fürs ist aktuell nicht vorgesehen, sprich: Es ist kein Standard außerhalb von Mastodon, auch wenn manche Tools und Clients das schon für sich eingeführt haben.

Ich kann mir allerdings gut vorstellen, dass Mastodon als Vorreiter und starker Vertreter ein wichtiges Signal setzt und die Funktion im gesamten Fediverse eingesetzt wird.

Version 4.5 von Mastodon erscheint noch dieses Jahr. :mastolove:

@fediversereport Been thinking about the fact that Truth
Social is based on Mastodon ever since I read this post. The fact it is more or less a skinned version of our beloved platform boggles the mind.

Hey @Gargron @Mastodon - We have been trying at privacysafe.social to be listed on joinmastodon.org for nearly a year (since October), and I believe this server meets all the criteria.

Would a community effort to help sort through server applications be helpful? Maybe even handle these as git repo issues / PRs?

For the to with new instances, popular listing / directory sites must accept new applications.

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)とは? 分散型SNSをもっと便利にするサービス

Fediverse(フェディバース) は、Server AからServer Bへとつながる分散型のソーシャルネットワークです。Mastodon(マストドン)やPleroma(プレロマ)など、いくつもの「インスタンス(サーバー)」が協力し合うことで成り立っています。その一方で、「情報の探しにくさ」や「小さなサーバーが目立たない」といった課題もあります。

FASPが目指すもの

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverse全体を支える「助っ人サービス」です。例えば、

  • ネットワーク全体から欲しい投稿やユーザーを探し出す「検索サービス」
  • 迷惑投稿を自動で見つけて教えてくれる「スパム対策」
  • 人気のハッシュタグをまとめてくれる「トレンド表示」

など、本来はサーバーソフトだけでは難しい機能を、別の専門サービスが提供してくれます。これによって、どのサーバーにいても同じように便利な機能を使えるようになります。

どうして必要なの?

  1. 情報が散らばっている各サーバーにはそれぞれ違う投稿があるため、一つずつ見に行かないと最新情報や人気の話題が追いづらい。
  2. 小さなサーバーが損をしがち利用者が少ないサーバーでは、友達探しや情報収集がしにくい。大きなサーバーにしかない便利機能が使えないことも。
  3. 運営の手間を減らしたいサーバー管理者が自分の手で高度な機能を作り込むのは大変。FASPなら必要な機能を「外部サービスとして借りる」だけでOKです。

どんな仕組み?

  1. 登録するだけで連携サーバー管理者が数クリックでFASPサービスを登録すると、以後は自動的に機能が強化されます。
  2. データは必要な分だけ共有プライバシー保護のため、公開されている投稿情報だけを使い、個人の秘密情報は共有しません。
  3. いつでもオフにできる気に入らなければ、サービスを停止して元に戻すのも簡単です。

今どこまでできるの?

2025年9月現在、Mastodonの最新バージョン(4.4)で試験的に使える機能も登場しています。

  • 「ネットワーク全体検索」や「人気ハッシュタグ表示」を実際に試せるサーバーも一部で公開中。
  • 迷惑投稿チェックやリンクのプレビュー表示なども順次追加予定です。

今後はもっと多くのFASPサービスが増え、スマホアプリなどからも簡単に使えるようになります。これによりFediverseはさらに便利で、使いやすいSNSへと進化するでしょう。


Fediverseをもっと快適に楽しむための新しい助っ人――それが FASP です。導入も操作もシンプルなので、管理者もユーザーも負担なく、より豊かな分散型SNS体験を実現できます。

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)の詳細解説

概要

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverseサーバーソフトウェアと連携し、サーバー内に存在しない機能を補完する独立したサービスプロバイダーの仕組みです。これらのサービスは、単一のサーバーでは実現困難な機能や、サーバーソフトウェアに含まれていない機能を提供することを目的としています。[1]

FASPは、Fediverseエコシステム全体の機能拡張を可能にする革新的なアーキテクチャであり、現在Mastodon gGmbHが主導して開発を進めています。

Fediverseの課題認識

現在の検索・発見の限界

Fediverseにおける現在の検索・発見機能には重大な制約があります:[2][3]

  • サーバー間の分散による孤立:各サーバーが独立して検索・発見機能を提供しているため、ネットワーク全体でのコンテンツ発見が困難
  • 小規模インスタンスの不利:ユーザー数が少ない小規模サーバーでは、十分なコンテンツやユーザーとの接触機会が限定的
  • リアルタイム性の欠如:トレンドや新しいコンテンツの発見が各サーバーのローカル情報に依存
  • 標準化された検索APIの不在:統一された検索インターフェースが存在しないため、クライアント開発が困難

解決すべき技術的課題

FASPが対処を目指している主要な技術的課題には以下があります:[4][5]

  • 分散型ネットワークにおける効率的な検索アルゴリズム
  • プライバシーを保護しながらのデータ共有メカニズム
  • 異なるFediverseソフトウェア間の互換性確保
  • スケーラブルなインデックス管理システム

実現しようとしている機能の詳細

主要な機能カテゴリ

FASPで提供予定の主要サービスには以下が含まれます:[1:1][4:1]

検索・発見サービス

  • アカウント検索:ユーザー名、表示名、プロフィール情報による全文検索
  • コンテンツ検索:投稿内容の横断的検索機能
  • ハッシュタグトレンド:ネットワーク全体でのトレンドハッシュタグの特定

セキュリティ・モデレーション

  • スパム検出:機械学習ベースの自動スパム判定
  • ブロックリスト同期:インスタンス間でのブロックリスト共有
  • コンテンツモデレーション:問題のあるコンテンツの自動識別

運用支援機能

  • リンクプレビュー生成:外部リンクのメタデータ自動取得
  • ヘルプデスク統合:サポート業務の効率化
  • 分析・レポート:ネットワーク使用状況の統計情報

技術仕様とAPI設計

現在開発中のFASP仕様には以下の技術要素が含まれます:[6][4:2]

基本的な相互作用

  • プロバイダー登録メカニズム
  • 認証・承認システム(OAuth非使用のシンプルモデル採用)
  • データ共有プロトコル

データ管理

  • 公開コンテンツのみを対象とした索引化
  • ユーザー同意に基づく発見可能性フラグ
  • サーバーレベル・ユーザーレベルでのブロック機能

開発の経緯

プロジェクト開始の背景

FASPの開発は、NGI Search(Next Generation Internet Search)プログラムからの資金提供を受けて2024年に本格化しました。このプロジェクトは、欧州委員会のHorizon Europeプログラムの一環として、最大15万ユーロの研究開発資金を提供しています。[7][8]

開発タイムライン

2024年の主要マイルストーン[9][6:1]

  • 2024年9月:基本仕様の公開、プロジェクト発表
  • 2024年10月:認証モデルの簡略化、コミュニティフィードバック収集
  • 2024年11月:データ共有仕様の初期ドラフト公開

2025年の計画[10][4:3]

  • 2025年2月:トレンド機能とアカウント検索仕様の公開
  • 2025年6月:アカウントレコメンデーション機能実装、セキュリティ監査実施
  • 2025年後半:本格的なMastodonサーバーでの実装展開

実装アプローチ

開発チームは段階的な実装戦略を採用しています:[11][12]

  1. 仕様策定フェーズ:オープンソースコミュニティとの協議を通じた仕様固定
  2. プロトタイプ開発:Ruby on Railsベースの参考実装作成
  3. 実証実験:限定的な環境での機能検証

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)とは? 分散型SNSをもっと便利にするサービス

Fediverse(フェディバース) は、Server AからServer Bへとつながる分散型のソーシャルネットワークです。Mastodon(マストドン)やPleroma(プレロマ)など、いくつもの「インスタンス(サーバー)」が協力し合うことで成り立っています。その一方で、「情報の探しにくさ」や「小さなサーバーが目立たない」といった課題もあります。

FASPが目指すもの

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverse全体を支える「助っ人サービス」です。例えば、

  • ネットワーク全体から欲しい投稿やユーザーを探し出す「検索サービス」
  • 迷惑投稿を自動で見つけて教えてくれる「スパム対策」
  • 人気のハッシュタグをまとめてくれる「トレンド表示」

など、本来はサーバーソフトだけでは難しい機能を、別の専門サービスが提供してくれます。これによって、どのサーバーにいても同じように便利な機能を使えるようになります。

どうして必要なの?

  1. 情報が散らばっている各サーバーにはそれぞれ違う投稿があるため、一つずつ見に行かないと最新情報や人気の話題が追いづらい。
  2. 小さなサーバーが損をしがち利用者が少ないサーバーでは、友達探しや情報収集がしにくい。大きなサーバーにしかない便利機能が使えないことも。
  3. 運営の手間を減らしたいサーバー管理者が自分の手で高度な機能を作り込むのは大変。FASPなら必要な機能を「外部サービスとして借りる」だけでOKです。

どんな仕組み?

  1. 登録するだけで連携サーバー管理者が数クリックでFASPサービスを登録すると、以後は自動的に機能が強化されます。
  2. データは必要な分だけ共有プライバシー保護のため、公開されている投稿情報だけを使い、個人の秘密情報は共有しません。
  3. いつでもオフにできる気に入らなければ、サービスを停止して元に戻すのも簡単です。

今どこまでできるの?

2025年9月現在、Mastodonの最新バージョン(4.4)で試験的に使える機能も登場しています。

  • 「ネットワーク全体検索」や「人気ハッシュタグ表示」を実際に試せるサーバーも一部で公開中。
  • 迷惑投稿チェックやリンクのプレビュー表示なども順次追加予定です。

今後はもっと多くのFASPサービスが増え、スマホアプリなどからも簡単に使えるようになります。これによりFediverseはさらに便利で、使いやすいSNSへと進化するでしょう。


Fediverseをもっと快適に楽しむための新しい助っ人――それが FASP です。導入も操作もシンプルなので、管理者もユーザーも負担なく、より豊かな分散型SNS体験を実現できます。

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)の詳細解説

概要

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverseサーバーソフトウェアと連携し、サーバー内に存在しない機能を補完する独立したサービスプロバイダーの仕組みです。これらのサービスは、単一のサーバーでは実現困難な機能や、サーバーソフトウェアに含まれていない機能を提供することを目的としています。[1]

FASPは、Fediverseエコシステム全体の機能拡張を可能にする革新的なアーキテクチャであり、現在Mastodon gGmbHが主導して開発を進めています。

現在の検索・発見の限界

Fediverseにおける現在の検索・発見機能には重大な制約があります:[2][3]

  • サーバー間の分散による孤立:各サーバーが独立して検索・発見機能を提供しているため、ネットワーク全体でのコンテンツ発見が困難
  • 小規模インスタンスの不利:ユーザー数が少ない小規模サーバーでは、十分なコンテンツやユーザーとの接触機会が限定的
  • リアルタイム性の欠如:トレンドや新しいコンテンツの発見が各サーバーのローカル情報に依存
  • 標準化された検索APIの不在:統一された検索インターフェースが存在しないため、クライアント開発が困難

解決すべき技術的課題

FASPが対処を目指している主要な技術的課題には以下があります:[4][5]

  • 分散型ネットワークにおける効率的な検索アルゴリズム
  • プライバシーを保護しながらのデータ共有メカニズム

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)の詳細解説

概要

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverseサーバーソフトウェアと連携し、サーバー内に存在しない機能を補完する独立したサービスプロバイダーの仕組みです。これらのサービスは、単一のサーバーでは実現困難な機能や、サーバーソフトウェアに含まれていない機能を提供することを目的としています。[1]

FASPは、Fediverseエコシステム全体の機能拡張を可能にする革新的なアーキテクチャであり、現在Mastodon gGmbHが主導して開発を進めています。

Fediverseの課題認識

現在の検索・発見の限界

Fediverseにおける現在の検索・発見機能には重大な制約があります:[2][3]

  • サーバー間の分散による孤立:各サーバーが独立して検索・発見機能を提供しているため、ネットワーク全体でのコンテンツ発見が困難
  • 小規模インスタンスの不利:ユーザー数が少ない小規模サーバーでは、十分なコンテンツやユーザーとの接触機会が限定的
  • リアルタイム性の欠如:トレンドや新しいコンテンツの発見が各サーバーのローカル情報に依存
  • 標準化された検索APIの不在:統一された検索インターフェースが存在しないため、クライアント開発が困難

解決すべき技術的課題

FASPが対処を目指している主要な技術的課題には以下があります:[4][5]

  • 分散型ネットワークにおける効率的な検索アルゴリズム
  • プライバシーを保護しながらのデータ共有メカニズム
  • 異なるFediverseソフトウェア間の互換性確保

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP)とは? 分散型SNSをもっと便利にするサービス

Fediverse(フェディバース) は、Server AからServer Bへとつながる分散型のソーシャルネットワークです。Mastodon(マストドン)やPleroma(プレロマ)など、いくつもの「インスタンス(サーバー)」が協力し合うことで成り立っています。その一方で、「情報の探しにくさ」や「小さなサーバーが目立たない」といった課題もあります。

FASPが目指すもの

Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers(FASP) は、Fediverse全体を支える「助っ人サービス」です。例えば、

  • ネットワーク全体から欲しい投稿やユーザーを探し出す「検索サービス」
  • 迷惑投稿を自動で見つけて教えてくれる「スパム対策」
  • 人気のハッシュタグをまとめてくれる「トレンド表示」

など、本来はサーバーソフトだけでは難しい機能を、別の専門サービスが提供してくれます。これによって、どのサーバーにいても同じように便利な機能を使えるようになります。

どうして必要なの?

  1. 情報が散らばっている各サーバーにはそれぞれ違う投稿があるため、一つずつ見に行かないと最新情報や人気の話題が追いづらい。
  2. 小さなサーバーが損をしがち利用者が少ないサーバーでは、友達探しや情報収集がしにくい。大きなサーバーにしかない便利機能が使えないことも。
  3. 運営の手間を減らしたいサーバー管理者が自分の手で高度な機能を作り込むのは大変。FASPなら必要な機能を「外部サービスとして借りる」だけでOKです。

どんな仕組み?

  1. 登録するだけで連携サーバー管理者が数クリックでFASPサービスを登録すると、以後は自動的に機能が強化されます。
  2. データは必要な分だけ共有プライバシー保護のため、公開されている投稿情報だけを使い、個人の秘密情報は共有しません。
  3. いつでもオフにできる気に入らなければ、サービスを停止して元に戻すのも簡単です。

今どこまでできるの?

2025年9月現在、Mastodonの最新バージョン(4.4)で試験的に使える機能も登場しています。

  • 「ネットワーク全体検索」や「人気ハッシュタグ表示」を実際に試せるサーバーも一部で公開中。
  • 迷惑投稿チェックやリンクのプレビュー表示なども順次追加予定です。

今後はもっと多くのFASPサービスが増え、スマホアプリなどからも簡単に使えるようになります。これによりFediverseはさらに便利で、使いやすいSNSへと進化するでしょう。


Fediverseをもっと快適に楽しむための新しい助っ人――それが FASP です。導入も操作もシンプルなので、管理者もユーザーも負担なく、より豊かな分散型SNS体験を実現できます。

Piccolo reminder: il fediverso non è mastodon, a volte serve ricordarlo, il fediverso è molto altro!

In molti vogliono “più decentralizzazione!” e poi aprono l’ennesimo Mastodon su Masto.host o un'account bluesky. Il risultato? milioni di iscritti solo su mastodon.social, masto.host e bluesky che hanno praticamente il controllo su tutto 🤡

Questa non è proprio la rivoluzione promessa, gestire o è difficile e si sta diventando clienti più che gestori.

There's v6 and v7 now.

Also keeping track of forks' `api_versions`. Starting to feel odd for this to be part of Mastodon's documentation site. Maybe a community-maintained doc make sense? 🤔

People complain that #Mastodon doesn’t integrate with non-Mastodon services. But that’s true of Twitter too—no one ever expected Instagram or Reddit inside Twitter.

The difference is Mastodon can do what Twitter never could. It talks to Instagram-like services such as #Pixelfed. It talks to Reddit-like services such as #Piefed. And Mastodon itself isn’t even Instagram-like or Reddit-like.

If that sounds confusing, that’s fair. It just means shifting your mental model of how the social web actually works.

When you press that button (in the screenshot), and publish a post on the Fediverse —

For most users on the Fediverse —

Not only are you publishing that post on your host's website, but —

YOU ARE PUSHING that post to people and machines (including strangers) across the Fediverse.

If you do not want that to happen, then — don't press that button.

Instead, consider a private message, or using something such as Signal.

I see both advantages and risks: offers new opportunities, but I also miss key aspects of that have grown important to me (, , , ). For now, I use both. In the post, I reflect on what each platform gets right (and wrong) for science.

How to send a DM on Mastodon:

1. Start a new post
2. Set post visibility to "Mentions" or "Private Mentions" or "Only people I mention" or "Specific people" (phrase depends which app or interface you're using)
3. Mention account addresses of people you want to DM
4. Write the DM
5. Post it

NOTE: Like most social networks Mastodon DMs aren't end-to-end encrypted, so you should not use them for sensitive info.

Unpopular admin opinion, but I really think that, unless you are a small instance that’s just starting out, you shouldn’t enable open registrations all the time on your server. Either switch to an approval-based registration process or to an invite-based one. Or if you want to have open registrations, only do so during a specific time frame each day, like witches.town did.
Everything else is just an invitation to transform your instance into a spamming machine.

Does anyone know of a public set of ModSecurity exceptions for the fediverse/ActivityPub I can take a look at? I'm setting it up for GoToSocial and Mastodon now and manually doing this is pain.

Update, @cloudymax and I started a plugin here:

Still happy to collaborate on it, but also wanted to note there was a mention a year ago about making an ActivityPub plugin over at the OWASP CRS repo, so maybe we could donate to that if its ever created:

Even the most basic spam-fighting infra is missing. We are at the same point as email was about 25 years ago. Fucking come on.

Es gibt ja seit einigen Tagen wieder diese bzw. Welle mit diesen angeblichen Moderatoren Accounts die andere auffordern auf irgendeinen Link zur Verifikation zu klicken.

Irgendwie fällt mir auf, dass sehr oft die gleichen Instanzen dafür missbraucht werden. Vielleicht wäre es nicht schlecht, wenn diese Instanzen ihre Registrierung von "offen" auf "Freischaltung" umstellen würden? Zumindest für eine gewisse Zeit. Somit könnte man einen großen Teil solcher Accounts schon von Beginn an eliminieren.

A new report by Amnesty International calls for the dismantling of concentrations of power to make way for rights-respecting digital ecosystems.

You can read the full report here: amnesty.org/en/documents/POL30

An image of a smashed phone is the background to a quote from Amnesty International's Breaking Up With Big Tech report, which reads: "Big Tech’s dominance can lead to devastating consequences for marginalized communities. 

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have become primary gateways to news and public discourse. Their algorithmic systems – optimized for engagement and profit – have been shown to amplify harmful content which elicits a stronger reaction from users and keeps us online longer, allowing these companies to collect more data on us and serve us more adverts.

In an increasingly polarized context, this can contribute to the rapid spread of discriminatory speech and even incitement to violence – which has had devastating consequences in several crisis and conflict-affected areas."

Listening to this interview of Rudy from , I get the impression that there is no simplifying decentralization. You can either do it on the frontend like does, or ask/expect people to decentralize later like does. Either way, you will need to explain why it matters and help them make it happen.

[I'm unconvinced by arguments beyond so far. We don't need "decentralized social media" for community. Start a subreddit/discord.]

I'm grateful for the recent changes in the moderation of Hashtags via Mastodon but I really wished it had a "filter" option in the dropdown, like "add to new or existing filter", mute hashtag, etc. Now that sports season is back and there are a thousand and one teams and more people are active, using team and game specific hashtags, it's gonna be hard to chase, esp when people don't use universal sport hashtags like , etc along with their team or game specific tags. It is exciting to see sports growing in the Fediverse, though.

So I can see a users posts with replies (e.g. cosocial.ca/@maj/with_replies ) is there an option for seeing *just* posts from the user _without_ boosts? I.e. just the things they have written?

I imagine a workaround where you tag your own things and then have a pinned post linking to that (like I do with cosocial.ca/@maj/tagged/work)

How do you browse feed of fediverse, catch up with feed updates ?
Just home?
Or by ?
Do you use lists (of mastodon)?
Something else?
Leave a comment, boost.

I find it hard to view feed.

'home' tab hard to keep up, since I follow many accounts and tags.
Browsing just pure tags - they are not curated, moderated.
Browsing by profile - people I follow post on many different topics, some interesting, some not, idk how to filter.

Or maybe you use some better non-default custom client with better filtering capabilities, tell in comments.

I find model, ui, design of twitter / microblogging unsustainable & not convinient.

Does mastodon have any concept of "follow a post"? Sometimes someone asks a good question and I want to get notifications for its responses the same as if I had posted it.

Slack, as an example, has "get notified of new replies" for threads.

This would be a big boost for "usefulness" of mastodon for me.

⚠️ There is another "verification" scammer on the move, do not click on their link, it is a scam!

Genuine Mastodon servers never demand verification like this.

If you see a scam post like this, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", then report it and make sure you select the option to forward the report to the origin server.

Scam message with the following wording, and a "Fake do not click" message overlaid on top of it:

Important Notice! ⚠️

Hello from Mastodon moderation. 👋 To prevent being banned from our platform, please verify your account at your earliest convenience. You can find a special form for this purpose below. 📝

Access it here: 🔗 (LINK REMOVED)

We hope to welcome you back on Mastodon soon!

Does mastodon have any concept of "follow a post"? Sometimes someone asks a good question and I want to get notifications for its responses the same as if I had posted it.

Slack, as an example, has "get notified of new replies" for threads.

This would be a big boost for "usefulness" of mastodon for me.

Hello this is Mastodon. To avoid your account getting suspended you must verify your humanity by voting in the midterm elections. Go to vote.org to get started.

Strange article. The web/internet also has no way to comply with this law. And nobody can speak for it, only explain how it works.

I find it weird to refer to as a social network (but it's much more of a network than the closed platforms). Mastodon can refer to server software, an app, a non profit and/or a few servers that they run (wish they all had different names).

How can a law make enforceable demands on entities outside its government's jurisdiction?

☝️ Really interesting response. Clearly vetted by lawyers. It seems like what is saying is that because, unlike , it does not retain personal data on it's users, it does not have the inherent ability do age verification.

This is really nice and something we haven't seen on any other social media platforms. Elsewhere, you can just quote someone without asking, but in the Fediverse, you need permission, and you can actually control who quotes you without having to delete your post.

It feels great to be part of something truly unprecedented.

There is a new scam wave spreading across Mastodon.

If you see a post like the one below, do not interact with it. SImply report to your server admin.

As moderators, we will do our best to respond to these reports swiftly and will suspend any account guilty of sharing malicious links.

Server admins, if you are able, now may be the time to temporarily turn off open sign ups to help prevent the spread.

Please boost!

You can read the full report here: amnesty.org/en/documents/POL30

An image of a smashed phone is the background to a quote from Amnesty International's Breaking Up With Big Tech report, which reads: "Big Tech’s dominance can lead to devastating consequences for marginalized communities. 

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have become primary gateways to news and public discourse. Their algorithmic systems – optimized for engagement and profit – have been shown to amplify harmful content which elicits a stronger reaction from users and keeps us online longer, allowing these companies to collect more data on us and serve us more adverts.

In an increasingly polarized context, this can contribute to the rapid spread of discriminatory speech and even incitement to violence – which has had devastating consequences in several crisis and conflict-affected areas."

Watching the Github commits, however; it looks like a lot of this functionality is coming in super-hot.

Piccolo reminder: il fediverso non è mastodon, a volte serve ricordarlo, il fediverso è molto altro!

In molti vogliono “più decentralizzazione!” e poi aprono l’ennesimo Mastodon su Masto.host o un'account bluesky. Il risultato? milioni di iscritti solo su mastodon.social, masto.host e bluesky che hanno praticamente il controllo su tutto 🤡

Then it occurred to me to look and see if it does ... and it does! Click on the person's username, then click the three-dots menu near top right of their profile, then choose "Hide boosts from …"

This is a game-changer!

It feels great to be part of something truly unprecedented.

I link to my personal web-site from my Mastodon account.

On my Mastodon account, that link shows up with the "verification" checkmark and highlight.

I did that by adding special HTML code to my personal web-site.

If you want to do the same — add similar code your personal web-site.

Just replace my URL with yours.

Ex:

<link rel="me" href="YOUR_PROFILE_URL_HERE" />

And, add that to the <head> section of the home-page of your personal web-site.

<link rel="me" href="https://mastodon.social/@reiver" />

3. Click "Public Profile" (on a phone it's ☰ in top right and "Public Profile")
4. Click the "Privacy & Reach" tab
5. Scroll down to "Privacy" section and UN-tick the box marked "Show follows & followers on profile"
6. Click "Save Changes" button

"Mississippi's approach would fundamentally change how users access Bluesky. The Supreme Court’s recent decision leaves us facing a hard reality: comply with Mississippi’s age assurance law—and make every Mississippi Bluesky user hand over sensitive personal information and undergo age checks to access the site—or risk massive fines.

"The law would also require us to identify and track which users are children, unlike our approach in other regions. We think this law creates challenges that go beyond its child safety goals, and creates significant barriers that limit free speech and disproportionately harm smaller platforms and emerging technologies."

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

Keeping the Open Social Web running wouldn’t be possible without the server admins who sacrifice their time, money, and self to this online community.

Coming from Big Tech, it's easy to take these things for granted; we're used to social media being for-profit.

Instead, here on the Fediverse, it's our job to say thank you. We're sure your admin would appreciate a coffee sized donation or a meaningful message of thanks.

Introducing . Hollo is an -enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.

It's headless, meaning you can use existing client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. Two big differences with Mastodon is that you can use in the content of your posts and you can quote another post.

Oh, and Hollo is built using and .

Has anyone gotten a account to show up as verified on ? I've tried to follow the instructions at docs.joinmastodon.org/user/pro in my profile on videos.trom.tf, but no matter which way I do it I can't get my account to show up as verified on Mastodon. I even checked the page source on PeerTube and it looks like the same kind of link as I have in my personal website, which shows up as verified.

It's interesting how many of us joined Mastodon because we value decentralization and federated alternatives, but then we turn around and link everything to YouTube. Feels a little contradictory to be happy to use federated Mastodon servers that just link back to YouTube. If you like Mastodon and the Fediverse, maybe try linking to more federated video platforms? There are many Peertube instances we can all use: instances.joinpeertube.org/ins

Decentralization isn’t just a trendy buzzword. When platforms enclose the web—locking culture, knowledge, and communities into corporate silos—they decide what survives, what gets erased, and who has access. A decentralized web is survival against erasure.

You can view Mastodon in dark mode or light mode, and on some servers and apps there are many other colour schemes too.

If you're using your server's website, here is how you can set your Mastodon theme:

1. Click ⚙️ Preferences (if you’re on a phone click ☰ at bottom right and then ⚙️ Preferences)
2. In the "Site Theme" menu select the colour scheme you want
3. Click the "Save Changes" button

MASTODON QUESTION

We have a Mastodon account at the original Mastodon server for @TheMendoVoice.

However, no one follows it and we barely get any activity.

Our publication covers Mendocino County. We're owned by the Bay City News Foundation, which is based in Berkeley.

Would it make a difference if we moved servers?

Even using hashtags doesn't make a difference. I'm beginning to think I should not waste my time investing in Mastodon for TMV as the social manager.

My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!

The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.

Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.

So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.

I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18

Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

Are you seeing too much of certain topics on Mastodon?

You can customise what you see using Mastodon's "Filters" feature:

➡️ fedi.tips/filtering-your-timel

Filters let you automatically hide posts containing specific words, phrases, parts of words, hashtags, links or emoji.

Filtered posts can either be either hidden completely, or displayed behind a content warning so you can click them open if needed. You can also set up multiple filters if you want.

Dumb question that I was always too afraid to ask:

I know how the #Fediverse and its federation works. It's intuitive and familiar to me; I mean, I even host my own instance.

But I never understood how interaction cross-software is supposed to work. In theory, I can use whatever #ActivityPub software I want and still interact with everyone else. But in practice that just... isn't the case, right?

I mean, for text it's quite simple: I write a short post on #Mastodon and people on #GoToSocial or #Misskey or whatever can see and read that same post and interact with it. They can see my profile and it appears on their instance in their style and with their features.

Even outside of microblogging I still get it. A super-long post on #Friendica or #Diaspora appears on my timeline, too. Their profiles might have more fields than I can see here, but that's fine.

But what's up beyond that?

I can see #Pixelfed posts here, converted into image galleries. But what about the other way 'round? If someone on Pixelfed follows my Mastodon account, they can't see any of my non-image posts, right?

What about #PeerTube and such niche software? I guess I could follow a PeerTube account as a microblogger and see their videos and descriptions in my timeline. Video comments are replies.

But the other way 'round? How are they supposed to interact with Friendica or Pixelfed users? PeerTube doesn't even have a "timeline".

Doesn't that feature disparity undermine the whole idea of the #Fediverse or am I missing something?

Finally had a chance to read the latest Trunk & Tidbits Mastodon development blog post, and while seeing all the work that's been done on quote posts and starter packs getting a mention is exciting, this upcoming update is really nice:

"Added the ability to block specific usernames from registering. This handles homoglyphs, partial matches, and either require approval, or deny registration entirely."

I’m starting to think that the new reply fetching feature is changing how I use #Mastodon, and not in a good way.

It used to be that most of the time I’d only see replies from people I already follow and therefore inherently care about. Now I’m falling into a bad habit I used to have with Twitter, where I basically read all the replies on all posts (FOMO). Big time suck.

On the other hand, it does make some posts more useful. It would be cool if there was an optional button to filter displayed replies to only mutuals or following, for posts with hundreds of replies I don’t feel like wading through.

‘Move Slowly and Build Bridges’
by Robert W. Gehl

Better social media is possible

In his new book Move Slowly and Build Bridges, Robert W. Gehl tells the story of the activists, software developers, artists, and everyday people who have built the , a noncentralized alternative social media system. Unlike big tech corporations like , , or , the fediverse is comprised of thousands of small, independent communities who use a Web protocol to communicate with one another.

moveslowlybuildbridges.com/

Text Shot: These small communities govern themselves and moderate content at the human scale — compare that to Facebook and X, which try to moderate global conversations. And the fediverse isn’t built in order to gather user data and sell attention to marketers — it’s a more privacy-respecting social media alternative.
The most notable part of the fediverse is Mastodon. Founded in 2016, Mastodon was positioned as an alternative to Twitter. Like Twitter (or X), Mastodon members can post, like, share, and connect with one another across the world. Unlike Twitter/X, Mastodon can be completely under the control of its members, from how it’s run to its underlying software

Some people I follow from Instagram, seem to have enabled the option to "Also share on..." Threads. 🤔

I saw this because they're sharing their personal photos of their kids and holidays and stuff on Insta and it cross-posts to Threads, publicly. 😵‍💫

I wonder if they know...

A screenshot from Instagram (which I specifically had to install to check to see if this was the case) showing the option buried away in the publish settings which reads "also shared on..." and the available options are Threads and Facebook.

Oof, looks like @kagihq just thought better of a poll they started and deleted it. Oof.

I get why - they seem pretty invested in making a core part of , and (at least my bubble in it) is pretty anti-AI.

The phrasing is also pretty incendiary - obviously providing a service without additional AI tools would cost less, and yet they decided to phrase it "Would you pay more for a Kagi plan without AI?". And even so the votes were about matched when I saw it! 🤣😬🔥

Question: Would you pay more for a Kagi plan without AI?

Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No

Finally saw the donation prompt on a beta mastodon app build. It’s tiny and floats at the bottom of your screen - not within the timeline.

A good first step. Instances in the fediverse mostly DO run on kindness, hope and occasional contributions. It’s ok to optionally ask for funding from your users, in my opinion.

A screenshot of the official iPad mastodon TestFlight app. At the bottom, a small overlay asks for the user to consider contributing. It’s dismissable.

i wrote a guide to installing, configuring, and running a single-user @Mastodon server. it sets up a @hetzner VPS on ubuntu linux, but the instructions are general enough.

highlights: local disk storage, subdomain redirect, improved configuration files, security and performance, privacy and safety considerations. this server was created by following the guide. hello fediverse. ⁂

I think this survey from GBH says a lot, even though it is on the Fediverse. Overall the impact of AI that is the most visible to us is negative. It is not even close.

I do believe AI has its use, but what we are seeing on the Internet is not that use at all. Rather the opposite.

As a self-hosting Mastodon instance, with just a couple user accounts, I wished there was a "preview card" creating mode that recognized when any user was viewing a timeline, whether home, a list, federated, etc, and ONLY created link previews when that was occurring. Also, if it is not already done, wished it would save link data in the database for previews created and when any user shared that link in a new post, reply, etc, it would search the database for the preview image and data without doing it again. I'm not sure if Mastodon already does this or not.

I'm getting gigabytes of images and making untold server calls to other websites for content my instance will never see yet it retains it.

What kind of posts do you miss when you're on the Fediverse?

It's not a shock that a lot of people who join the Fediverse struggle to find posts about things they care about. But for established Fedi-veterans, it's harder to know what is still missing.

Please let us know what you miss and if you have any idea on how the Fediverse could patch the gap in the comments!

I still have a and account for oslo.town and sometimes log in to see if I can lure people away and over to . 🥷

Some people I follow from Instagram, seem to have enabled the option to "Also share on..." Threads. 🤔

I saw this because they're sharing their personal photos of their kids and holidays and stuff on Insta and it cross-posts to Threads, publicly. 😵‍💫

I wonder if they know...

A screenshot from Instagram (which I specifically had to install to check to see if this was the case) showing the option buried away in the publish settings which reads "also shared on..." and the available options are Threads and Facebook.

Ich bin froh, dass die Home Timeline in Mastodon streng chronologisch ist.

Trotzdem wünsche ich mir manchmal auch eine "algorithmische" Timeline, wie sie BlueSky zu haben scheint: Eine, die meine Interessen abbildet. Beispielsweise anhand von Hashtags, die in Posts vorgekommen sind, die ich kürzlich geliked oder geboostet habe.

Beides zu haben, fände ich einen schönen Kompromiss 💪

Czytam sobie książkę o marketingu i przyznam, że akurat tam takich fragmentów się nie spodziewałem. Albo autorzy są aktywistami prywatności, albo trollują.

Miło, że autor tak pisze, aczkolwiek na bazie moich doświadczeń nie ukrywam, że raczej posądzam go o pisanie głupot. Raczej nie widzę odpływu pokolenia Z i Alfy w kierunku Masto - co innego taki Discord, fakt. Z drugiej strony miło, że wspomniano o tym.

Ale o samym Fediverse (na razie) nie ma ani słowa :) Fediverse = Mastodon w tym fragmencie. Natomiast zdecydowanie nie mam do nich o to żalu, bo krytyką tylko byśmy zniechęcali.

(fragmenty z "Marketing 6.0 Przyszłość jest immersyjna")

Fragment książki, rozdział Media budujące społeczności. W ostatnich latach krajobraz mediów społecznościowych wydawał się stosunkowo statyczny, a wielcy gracze, tacy jak Facebook, Youtube, Instagram i TikTok, nadal dominują w przestrzeni internetowej i mają co najmniej miliard użytkowników miesięcznie. Jednak pod powierzchnią nastąpiły pewne subtelne zmiany - mniejsze formy, takie jak Reddit, Discord i Mastodon nabierają rozpędu. Trend ten niekoniecznie oznacza, że użytkownicy całkowicie porzucają główne platformy. Zamiast tego prawdopodobnie przeznaczą część swojego czasu na mniejsze media społecznościowe.

Trend ten niekoniecznie oznacza, że użytkownicy całkowicie porzucają główne platformy. Zamiast tego prawdopodobnie przeznaczą część swojego czasu na mniejsze media społecznościowe.
Fragment książki. Najbardziej charakterystyczna platformą zorganizowaną wokół mniejszych społeczności jest jednak Mastodon. Jest to platforma mikroblogowa podobna do Twittera, gdzie użytkownicy mogą publikować krótkie wiadomości znane jako toot zamiast tweetów. Główna różnica polega jednak na tym, że Mastodon jest zdecentralizowaną platformą społecznościową typu open source, która jest zarządzana przez społeczność, a to oznacza, że żadna konkretna firma nie jest jej właścicielem. Zamiast jednego scentralizowanego serwera takiego jak Twitter, Mastodon wykorzystuje wiele indywidualnych serwerow zwanych instancjami, koncentrujących się na konkretnych zainteresowaniach. Rozwój mediów opartych na społecznościach takich jak Reddit, Discord i Mastodon wskazuje, że użytkownicy szukają platform zbudowanych wokół prawdziwych więzi i głębokich rozmów. Co więcej, zbiega się to z pojawieniem sie pokoleń Z i Alfa, które poszukują autentycznych i opartych na zaufaniu relacji. Dlatego też nie chcą, aby treści, które konsumują w mediach społecznościowych były regulowane przez algorytmy platformy. Zamiast tego wolą, aby o tym, co oglądają, decydowała zaufana społeczność.

My quest at is to find services and handles with non-Latin characters. Can you link me to examples?
I hear there are many ese people active in Fediverse, but all the examples I see have only Latin script.

That site has more stuff, too -- links to related articles, some notes about how I researched it, and a contact form in case you want to talk about the fediverse with me! (I'd be happy to chat with journalists about it!)

Ubuntuのアップグレードにより、npm(Node.js)やgem(Ruby)をビルドし直す必要はありそうです。
mastodon-web mastodon-sidekiq mastodon-streamingがそれぞれログを出力しているはずなので、原因特定がだいぶできると思います。

先日VMware Fusionに構築した仮想環境にMastodonをたててみるのも良さそうです。

ここまで来たら移転(新サーバーの立ち上げですよね)が有効であろうとは自分も感じます。

FediCon kicks off tomorrow in Vancouver 💫

And... our co-founder @michael is making the trip across the Atlantic to be there - that's over 7,460 km!

We wouldn't make these trips if we didn't believe in the Open Social Web and how it can be used to better the world.

In particular, Michael is looking forward to meeting all the amazing faces we speak to regularly online in person.

If you're there, say hello!

With your help, we have been able to help grow the Open Social Web. We've raised awareness for alternative social platforms across the UK. We've built and developed tools to encourage community building. We've stuck to our mission of knowledge sharing.

It hasn't always been easy. Thank you for keeping us going 🧡

@andypiper or the network part. We see not only what our friends post, but also what they boost; and very often what they boost will be the posts of people whose views resonate with our own — friends whom we have not yet encountered.

The thing which makes (and the whole ecosystem) so good is that it does the network part so well.

I don't use or the that often anymore. Certainly not enough to warrant running & paying for my own instance.

I'm just not excited about mastodon, or the fediverse.I don't see it working out.

mastodon.social(v4.5.0-nightly.2025-07-30)を見たら、「固定された投稿」(Pinned Posts)が一つだけしかできなくなったみたい…と思ったら、PCのブラウザでの表示だけど、最初の投稿の「横」に表示されてるみたい。ユーザータイムラインを開いただけでは、一番最初の投稿以外は目立たない。
ここmastodon-japan.netで私は2番目に固定された投稿を自分で頻繁に使っているから、mastodon.social(v4.5.0-nightly.2025-07-30)の仕様はちょっと不便かも。そうなったらなったで対策を考えるけど…。
それから、「固定された表示」の順番は変えられないんだったよな…。ここでは「自己紹介」が一番上に表示されるようにしてあるのだけど…。まあ、それはそれでいいか…。いしい@試行錯誤の方のmastodon.socialでの表示で、2番目以降に固定された表示が目立たないのはちょっとな…と思って、一番目立ってほしいのを一番上にしなければいけないのだけど、その方法について考えないといけなくなる。

If you want to see the rules on any Mastodon server:

1. Go to its website (you don't need to log in or be a member)
2. If you're on a phone click ☰ and then "About" at bottom of menu, on a computer click the "About" link next to server's name in bottom left corner
3. Scroll down to the section marked "Server Rules" and click on it to open it

This can be really useful if you're looking for a server to join or move to, as you can see how seriously the admin takes moderation.

Why on earth was the #ActivityPub protocol even let out the door without a well-specified and mandatory graceful, non-destructive key rotation scheme?

Yes I know the privacy issues. Those are not valid reasons to not have such a mechanism; it's a valid reason to not enable or use one.

What we're stuck with now is a ton of instances with absurdly long, legacy-algorithm keys (RSA-4096) with no way to replace them with shorter/better keys without effectively losing everything ever posted on the instance.

The protocol is only 7 years old! EC crypto was well-established at the time, and should have been the default.

And what happens once everyone has to replace the keys, because RSA is broken by quantum computers (I know, probably 100 years to go)? The #Fediverse will be a wasteland, with no instances trusting anything from any other instance, so all #Federation breaks down.

Sorry if I got some details wrong about what the protocol says. If I get flamed to death for being wrong, then I'll consider that a Good Thing(TM). I've been trying to find a way to rotate/replace keys for a while and all my searching turns up is either 1) confirmation that most people don't know or care about cryptography, or 2) https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/key-rotation-notification/562 - which really isn't helpful.

If it is possible to gracefully rotate the key(s) of an instance/user, there really has to exist some documentation that explains clearly how to implement this in a server and how to exercise it as a server operator.

GoToSocial users: How do you discover content?

Coming from Mastodon where I rely heavily on relays to populate my timeline - my instance federates with ~10k instances and hashtag following works great there.

Now exploring GoToSocial and wondering: What’s your strategy for content discovery? Especially when following hashtags?

🤔 Questions:

  • Do you use relays with GTS? Any recommendations?
  • How do you handle the smaller federation scope?
  • Any tricks for finding interesting content beyond your local timeline?
  • Tools or workflows that work well for hashtag discovery?

Would love to hear how the GTS community tackles this!

先日のえるさんに教えてもらって知ったのだけど、管理者からのお知らせに対して絵文字リアクションができるのは(Fedibird独自ではなく)Mastodon本体にある機能だったのね。つまりMastodon本体にも部分的に絵文字リアクション機能が実装されていることになる。

Eugenさんのこのスレッドでは今のところは全ての投稿にリアクション機能を付けるつもりはなく、実験的にこの部分にだけ実装したと言っているね。

From FediDB [1], I see that out of the total accounts, only 12-13 per cent are usually active accounts.

I think the main reason behind this is that local events and issues are not sufficiently discussed here. It is now a chicken-and-egg story.

The solution should not be to get inspired by X, Instagram, Facebook, etc., and follow their approaches.

A cool 4.4 feature that I have seen zero fanfare about is the new like/boost count federation. Another @jonny win if I remember right.

Maybe most people are on large enough servers that they haven't noticed the difference, but on my single-user server it's neat to see.

Today the basic ability of Mastodon 4.5 alpha to author quoted posts was released.

For now, it's hidden behind a feature flag and limited to the API. There are no changes to the web interface yet to allow quoting toots.

It's just the first step on the road to getting the new feature ready.

@jpmens I yes! And I think that's the big dichotomy at the core of the discussion when people talk about the pros and cons of the way Mastodon handles migrations.
We old web farts want cool urls that don't change but for many people the temporary nature of posts here (see also: the option to automatically delete posts after x days) is a feature and not a bug.

And from what I see in the world of ActivityPub or the Fediverse in general it seems to be a pretty even split.

die 40.000er Marke geknackt. Das entspricht einer Verdoppelung 2️⃣ 🐘 im Laufe des letzten Jahres.

und Followerzahlen sind nicht alles. Bei der geht es vor allem um Inhalte.
Doch die Zunahme zeigt, dass auf dem -Protokoll basierende Dienste die tragen können. Das ist ein schöner Erfolg für alle, die sich dafür eingesetzt haben. 🎇 Super!

Es spricht auch nichts dagegen, die Zahl noch einmal zu verdoppeln ❎ 2️⃣. Und dann nochmal ❎ 2️⃣. Das Potential ist da. Die Hochschulen müssen nur klar kommunizieren, dass die gehören.

これから、Ubuntu 22.04 LTSでMastodonを動かす機会が増えてくると思いますが、はまったやつを2点、共有しておきます。

■ /home/mastodonのパーミッションが変わり、Mastodonのフロントリソースが読み込めない

Ubuntu 21.04からだそうですが、ホームディレクトリのデフォルトのパーミッションが755から750になっています。

これにより、nginxが/home/mastodon以下を読めず、cssやjsなどが404になります。

sudo chmod 755 /home/mastodon

しちゃっていいんじゃないかな。

■ OpenSSL 3.0環境なのでruby 3.1より前のビルドに失敗する

現行のMastodonはruby 3.1まで大丈夫(とかいてある)ので、3.1.2に変えちゃいます。

cd ~/live
rbenv install 3.1.2
rbenv local 3.1.2

古いMastodonの場合はこれみて。

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!

Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!

The Services

Mastodon

Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!

PeerTube

The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!

WriteFreely

We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.

The Rules

We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.

We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.

In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.

Legal Status

All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.

Further Reading

We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail:

So, there is now a setting "Who can quote" in my Mastodon preferences. It was promised that the feature was "optional".

The "options" available for "Who can quote":

  • Everyone
  • Followers and mentioned users
  • Only mentioned users

No setting available to prevent this toxic discussion hijacking crap.

As always, gGmbH and specifically @Gargron demonstrate their lack of any reliable integrity.

Screenshot of  two posts by Eugen Rochko, January 3rd 2023:

»I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.«

»If we did do it we'd like to make it something you can opt out of, in a similar way to how we plan to allow disabling replies. It's not entirely trivial.«

4.4 (pre-quote-posts): 29.7% of instances, 9.1% of users.
4.5 (quote-posts): 1.2% of instances, 11.0% of users.

Not to pick on toot.wales, because where this link leads is just one example, but it is definitely …

… an example of why some people say Mastodon is difficult to use.

Being unusable is about more than not knowing what to click. It starts with incomprehensible text and taxonomy that present hurdles in searching for elements (buttons, links) in the interface and to correctly guessing the effect of using those elements.

We’ve updated Vivaldi Social to the latest Mastodon version 4.4. :tony_wee:

Highlights from the new version include:

🧭 Updated navigation sidebar - “Explore” is now called “Trending”, there’s an easier access point to hashtags you follow and more.

📌 Pinned posts carousel - There’s no longer a need to scroll past all the pinned posts to get to the latest posts.

#️⃣ Featured tab on your profile - Promote accounts and showcase your hashtagged posts.

🗂️ Improved Lists management - Creating lists and adding accounts to them is easier than ever.

But that’s not all. Read the full release blog from the Mastodon team here: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/.

@rriemann Dauer der Anmeldung, genauer:

"… if they are signed-in to an account on one of our instances, and only if their account has existed for four weeks or more… "

Es wird also ausgewertet, auf welcher Instanz die nutzende Person aktivi ist und wie lange die Anmeldung her ist. Also mind. 2 Datenwerte, die hier "getrackt" werden.
Für das Funktionieren der App oder die Funktionsfähigkeit der Instanzen sind beide Informationen nicht notwendig.

(Da dies auch für andere Instanzen ausgeweitet werden soll, ist es also keine einmalige Einzelmaßnahme sondern möglicherweise auch periodisch nutzbar.)

Dies war der Grund die -App zu löschen, denn es gibt genügend andere Apps.

I should also note that I'm not the only frequent contributor to various fediverse projects who is struggling to make ends meet. I know of at least a half dozen other independent developers who do a tonne of work in standards and figuring stuff out for the fediverse who don't have stable income from well-paid jobs to rely upon.

So my comment wasn't me asking for money from someone, but rather, just saying that there's folks that have expertise in making changes, and they could be hired to make the changes you want to see in a reasonable manner.

We cannot rely on free labour to advance the fediverse. We live in a capitalist society, so folks need money to pay their rent, buy food and frankly exist.

And folks wonder why I'm on burn out leave at the moment. Like, we really need to have a serious conversation about just how much free and unpaid labour we're all relying on here. If I can't pay my rent, then I can't contribute to open source, it's that fucking simple.

Nice. I'll give it a try. There are a few small ActivityPub items l'd love to see tweaked.
Really active Open Source projects can get the majority of their code written by people outside the core team, but it requires a lot of effort on the part of the core team.

If you want a strong and consistent product & user interface, it is very complex. This is why we ask that significant contributions first start by a discussion with us, so we can (maybe) assign some product design time to the contribution to ensure that it will be done in a way that can be merged

I feel that all Mastodon Administrators should have an option to place a non-intrusive (rotating) banner on their instance.

As in this case, it can be used to make users aware that funding is welcome for stability.

But I can also imagine that it is a way to attract some income from other parties. If their users do not like it, then those users can move to another instance that does not do that.

I would think positively about parties that support my instance.

Summer in the UK usually involves a visit to the pub 🍻

At the Newsmast Foundation, we're spending our summer at a different kind of pub - Activity Pub (but yeah, we'll probably be at the other kind once or twice too)!

The structure of the AP protocol means social is in its DNA, just like it is at your local! Our hope is that, just like your local, AP can provide a hub for your community too 🏡

Fedi is a proudly racist platform and it's not hard to see why this place will likely never attract or retain Black users.

Ask yourself, is it possible for a modern social media platform to be successful without Black people?

‘Move Slowly and Build Bridges’
by Robert W. Gehl

Better social media is possible

In his new book Move Slowly and Build Bridges, Robert W. Gehl tells the story of the activists, software developers, artists, and everyday people who have built the , a noncentralized alternative social media system. Unlike big tech corporations like , , or , the fediverse is comprised of thousands of small, independent communities who use a Web protocol to communicate with one another.

moveslowlybuildbridges.com/

Text Shot: These small communities govern themselves and moderate content at the human scale — compare that to Facebook and X, which try to moderate global conversations. And the fediverse isn’t built in order to gather user data and sell attention to marketers — it’s a more privacy-respecting social media alternative.
The most notable part of the fediverse is Mastodon. Founded in 2016, Mastodon was positioned as an alternative to Twitter. Like Twitter (or X), Mastodon members can post, like, share, and connect with one another across the world. Unlike Twitter/X, Mastodon can be completely under the control of its members, from how it’s run to its underlying software

Yay - wir haben nun bei der @digitalcourage Instanz das Update. Offenbar wurde meine Anregung zur automatischen Spracherkennung beim Schreiben umgesetzt. Yay.

Falls es jemand interessiert, habe ich fingerprints für 852 natürliche Sprachen und Programmiersprachen hier: github.com/redaktor/languages
Die Idee bei unserer fedi software ist abgesehen vom serverseitigen parsen:
- Actor definiert, welche Sprachen verstande werden.
- Client bekommt Ausschnitt der fingerprints.
- Browser kann die zuverlässig erkennen.

Because Threads is not federated for Threads users who live in the EU (guess why), and because Bluesky's connectivity with ActivityPub and its thousands of independent servers is sketchy. And even if that changed eventually, keeping the corpos' grasp at arm's length from my social media would still be the wise thing to aspire to.

The way mastodon works is by caching posts from people you're following. So when you search on someone's profile who is not on Gamer+ those posts won't be cached. That's why you have to visit their site.

Which is not a problem. On my system it opens in a new window so I close it when I'm done. On my phone it goes to their server so I go back when I'm done.

Summer in the UK usually involves a visit to the pub 🍻

At the Newsmast Foundation, we're spending our summer at a different kind of pub - Activity Pub (but yeah, we'll probably be at the other kind once or twice too)!

The structure of the AP protocol means social is in its DNA, just like it is at your local! Our hope is that, just like your local, AP can provide a hub for your community too 🏡

Hey everyone,

I’m really worried about my friend Kira and I need your help. Over the last few days, her dad has gone too far—he’s cut her off from every bit of social media, unplugged her internet, and flat-out threatened to fry her computer if she so much as whispers about what’s going on.

Kira managed to reroute her Mastodon account through me so she can send this message, but she’s terrified. He even forced her to delete every photo, every document—basically wiped out her entire digital life.

I feel helpless watching her stuck under his roof, constantly watched and silenced. That’s why I’m turning to our community: if you know any legal advocates, digital rights groups, or a safe place she can go, please reach out. Even a simple word of encouragement for her or a tip on where to find help could mean the world right now.

Thank you all for listening and for anything you can do. Let’s rally around Kira and remind her she isn’t alone. ❤️

Do you post in more than one language?

Mastodon's web interface now automatically detects which language you are posting in and suggests switching to it in the posting language indicator.

For example, if you have your posting language set to English but you start writing in French, the language indicator notices this and starts glowing yellow. Also, French appears at the top of its language list

Usefor if someone has exported the personal data as a .zip file from a Mastodon instance and want to view it locally.

Will be published sometimes 2025 on Codeberg under a free (FOSS) license 🙂

Hey is there a way to preschedule posts?

I am the type that (forgets his meds) gets hit by waves of creativity and likes to crank out bunch of stuff at once. Would love a way to preset up some posts in advance.

It's a sweaty 33°C in today so I took a break from the sunshine and updated the BIG LIST OF MASTODON INSTANCES on my website.

There's still a lot more I need to add and maybe find a better format for it all now that the list is so long, but if you're looking for a new server to join or just to find some like-minded people, it's a good list to browse.

You can export all your Data from Mastodon in the settings "Export" function (it's *your* data after all). I was genuinely surprised, that my archive is already 597 MB and that I have have 3235 posts here already :)

I'm currently working on a desktop app, to display the contents of a Mastodon export (KDE-Frameworks based) to have a neat little viewer for it. Not sure ojn the name (yet)

I'll soon enable auto-delete for my data, so it's removed after 90 days.

ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users 🚨 🦋

If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.

This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.

Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.

Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.

This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.

If you have chosen to share your

This is important.

Question for #FediAdmin , especially the ones managing a single-user instance (or just with very few users):

How much RAM is currently using your fedi software, whether it is #Mastodon #Akkoma #GoToSocial or one of the fifty shades of #Misskey (and by RAM I'm meaning "in total", not just the software's main process, also the database and additionnai stuff)

It's really out of curiosity. For instance, soc(dot)breadcat(dot)run currently uses approx 4,5Gb (4Gb for Akkoma's main processes and ~500Mb for the DB, on Docker)

@feb Hmm, jein. Ich hatte hier die Diskussion auch schon mal angeschoben. Der Zugang ins , zu ist technischer. Deutlich komplexer. Auch, weil natürlich mehr Möglichkeiten, Dienste etc. bestehen.

Zum Vergleich: Bei Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X) & Co. hast du ein login. Im Normalfall eine App und fertig. Das wars. Du bist drin. Es ist nichts weiter zu beachten.

Natürlich ist das bei einer offenen Plattform anders. Allein Mastodon mit seinen vielen Servern ist komplexer ...

@feb Ja, sehe ich auch so.

Ich hatte vor einiger Zeit auf eine kleine Debatte über X, Twitter und warum man nicht ins zu gefunden hat.

Der Tenor: Viel zu kompliziert und zu technisch. Wenige (deutschsprachige?) Hilfen. So hat man das subjektiv wahrgenommen.

Die Einstiegshürden sind hoch. Ich bin mit Computern aufgewachsen. Andere haben einen anderen Zugang zum Internet und der Nutzung von Diensten, Apps. Das muss man respektieren. Fedi muss zugänglicher werden...

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:

If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.

They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!

I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪

Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

I've done this 200000581930 times, but I'm moving here because there was NO benefit of running my own instance. Mastohost is cool, but it just made me start checking the storage consumption all the time, and with broken search, etc.. it just felt useless, especially considering I don't use Mastodon as much as, e.g. Bluesky.

👋 Probably my final stop (I will still post here ofc but stop moving around.)

How much variation is there in the user experience between Mastodon servers/instances (not sure of terminology).

With decentralised social media it's important users are spread out across many small/medium sized servers but Mastodon Social has I think something like 42% of the users.

I initially registered on a small server for Wales but am new to the fediverse, so curious whether the grass is any greener for those folk registered on different servers. :mastodon:

So I was getting a bit bored of my locally hosted account, not really knowing what to do with it, so I'm experimenting with an old idea I had of seeing if I can run a single-user fedi instance for $0 per month using free-tier cloud software and a free domain.

Last time I tried this was with a install on an Oracle cloud VPS until they suspended my entire cloud account after about a year or so with no notice and no way to appeal or anything.

I realised that Google's free-tier offering wouldn't be enough to run a full Mastodon instance, but it would be more than enough to run GoToSocial.

Anyway I just did the migration for my 44 followers and it seemed to work. Follow along if you wanna come along for the ride.

Here's the account: @phocks@slo.pp.ua
And the profile link: slo.pp.ua/@phocks

And let me know if you'd like some help setting up your own free instance. I plan to write up a bit of a blog post about it if all goes well.

New Privacy Guides article :mastodon: 🔒
by me:

While most social media rely on commercial models harvesting users' data to sell to advertisers,

Mastodon offers a human-centric alternative that doesn't seek profits from your data and attention.

This means better social connections, better controls, and better privacy!

The first part of this article discusses privacy and security on Mastodon.

The second part is a tutorial to guide you in making the most of Mastodon's security and privacy related features.

This tutorial includes how to:

• Enable multifactor authentication 🔑🔑

• Adjust privacy vs discovery 👀

• Select post visibility and access :neocat_box:

• Verify yourself :blobcatverified:

• Delete and back up your data :nes_fire:

• Block users and instances ⛔

• Opt out with hashtags #️⃣

• Move from one instance to another 🚀

I hope this helps you making the most of what Mastodon has to offers! :awesome:

@cheeaun @tchambers @box464 I don't think this provides the functionality that I was thinking of:

* Only show known replies by default
* User can request to show all replies, upon which they are fetched (spinner etc while fetching) and shown when they have been retrieved (or a certain threshold has been reached, after which more can be retrieved)

I think there are good reasons to do it this way. Gives user control and 'best' replies first.

Holy heck, I just saw an announcement for quote posts in Mastodon 4.4. That's a big design change.

Is there an option to hide boosts/reposts in my feed for everyone I follow ? Manually switch for every follow (now and in future) is insane imho

@cheeaun @tchambers @box464 I don't think this provides the functionality that I was thinking of:

* Only show known replies by default
* User can request to show all replies, upon which they are fetched (spinner etc while fetching) and shown when they have been retrieved (or a certain threshold has been reached, after which more can be retrieved)

I think there are good reasons to do it this way. Gives user control and 'best' replies first.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧

Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."

⚠️ This is a Scam!

Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.
No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.
If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.

How to Identify the Scam:

Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.
Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.

What to Do:

If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.
If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.
To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the "About" page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.
Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team.

Important Reminder:

Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.

Reporting the Scam:

If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance's admin team and use relevant tags, such as , to help raise awareness.

Personal Note:

I'm not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I'm looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I'll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.

Let's stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!

The background is yellow with black diagonal stripes, and a large yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is prominently displayed at the top, indicating a warning.

"[⚠️ Important Notice]

Your account has been temporarily suspended for identity verification.

It's not cheap to run social media.

I used to self-host my Mastodon.

I set up the instance to heavily federate with others through my followings and relays.

The next day, my VPS reached 90GB of 100GB of storage, and my Mastodon website could not be accessed.

Other people advised me to use a VPS with 1TB or more for Mastodon.

Someone has probably already thought of this, but I wonder if it would be helpful, at least in search, to show when a verified domain has been registered.

A mocked up screenshot of Mastodon search results for my own name. Two of the profiles look suspiciously similar with differences in spelling of the username (stefan vs st3fan) and the verified website (stefanbohacek.com vs stefanb0hacek.com).

Both verified websites also show the year they were registered, in this case 2014 vs 2025, making it more clear that the second profile is likely fake.

⚠️ Mastodon and Misskey will never ask you to verify your ID.

This is a scam attempting to collect personal information and, in some cases, hijack accounts by tricking you into clicking malicious links.

⚠️ However, Mastodon and Misskey do offer an option in your account settings to enable two-step verification for logins.

For your own security and to help prevent brute-force attacks, it’s strongly recommended that you enable this feature on your account.

⚠️ Mastodon(マストドン)やMisskey(ミスキー)が本人確認を求めることは絶対にありません。

これは、個人情報を盗み取ったり、悪意のあるリンクをクリックさせてアカウントを乗っ取ろうとする詐欺です。

⚠️ ただし、MastodonやMisskeyには、アカウント設定で2段階認証(2ステップ認証)を有効にするオプションがあります。

ご自身のアカウントの安全を守り、総当たり攻撃(ブルートフォース攻撃)を防ぐためにも、この機能を有効にすることを強くおすすめします。

You can give your Mastodon server its own unique visual identity by adding your own artwork, icons, themes and custom CSS.

You don't have to do all of these things, but each one helps to make your server more distinct and visually appealing. It can instantly get across the intended atmosphere of your server.

I just made this which could also work as a one sheet for posting, sharing IRL community with a couple of edits to reduce text. I have shared this with @stefan.
Let me know your thoughts.

Trying to make it easy for non tech people to understand.

One pager to become a webpage with graphics illustrating the fediverse like a universe & some of the platforms with what they can replace, ie. mastodon replacing twitter as colored planets. 
Mastodon used as an example to show instances as ‘landmasses on a planet’. 
And information about what it is, how it works, why to join & what to expect.

Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.

The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.

I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.

The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."

Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.

Fragmentation on the Fediverse is a real problem.

Hypothetically, let’s say I’m an admin. I don’t like "John Doe" (just a random example). Instead of simply blocking John Doe myself, I demand that "Billy Bob" — the admin of his instance — remove him entirely.

Billy Bob refuses, because John Doe hasn’t broken any rules. So, being an egotistical maniac, I blacklist Billy Bob’s entire instance — 5,000+ innocent users who had nothing to do with anything.

I also have 5,000+ users on my instance. Now you’ve got over 10,000 people who can’t communicate, all because of a personal disagreement.

This kind of thing happens far too often on the Fediverse. If you create more than one account (on different instances), you’ll likely discover people you didn’t even know existed — people you’d want to follow but previously couldn’t, due to the growing fragmentation across the network.

The scale of the problem becomes even more obvious when you move to a different instance. You’ll likely find that not everyone you currently follow can be followed from the new site.

The solution?

Right now, it means having more than one account just to keep in touch with everyone you want to follow.

How crazy is that?

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:

If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.

They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!

I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪

Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

My post blew up, thanks to some high rollers follower-wise 😹

I always get a few nay-sayers sliding into my notifications, going on about "no interactions", "no traction", "not social", "no appeal" nonsense. How do you explain these comments and likes every other second then? You should follow more than 20 people here.

Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.

The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.

I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.

The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."

Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.

@nyquildotorg and needs a mechanism where domain names can be recycled. The fact that WordPress alone has no mechanism to allow a domain to exit the fediverse is reason enough. Sometimes servers get bricked and there is no way to go back and self-destruct.

Domains could be validated with a text record in the DNS by the owner of the domain name. If text record ActivityPubKill is true, then it should be trusted as so and defederated.

I'm not sure how this could be done, I don't know the ins and out. Maybe software packages could poll the DNS of failing federated servers and look for a universal or software specific kill tag or a file could be placed somewhere on a server that it looks for when a server fails, esp after 7 days.

Either way, a dns entry or a file on a physical server can be a trusted source as it takes elevated permission by someone in charge of a domain to usually do such a thing.

The Masto.NYC was a huge success!! We had a great turnout for our first time and had a blast. We may experiment with a different location next time (torch and crown music was pretty loud) but otherwise it was great! If anyone is interested in coming next time, make sure you're following @warren for updates.

Shout out to @jmac for the great idea!

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Quote Posts :mastodon: 📢

If your instance is already running the newly released version Mastodon 4.4,

Know that in preparation for the full implementation, the team has included a consent setting for the upcoming Quote Post feature.

While quoting a post will not
be available as a native feature until Mastodon 4.5 later this year, it's wonderful that you can adjust if you want in or not before it even arrives! :awesome:

HOW TO❓

1. From the web interface, go to "Preferences" on the right-side menu. Then click on "Other" under the "Preferences" section :blocky_white_cursor:

2. If your instance was newly updated, you should now see an option in "Posting Defaults" for "Who can quote" (see image below) 👇

Note: If the option isn't there, your instance has not updated to the version including it yet. Be patient, it will likely be added in the weeks to come.

3. From the "Who can quote" drop-menu, you can choose either "Everyone", "Followers and mentioned users", or "Only mentioned users" :ablobcatnod:

4. Once the next version is released, you will be ready for Quote Posts! No matter your choices 💪

5. Enjoy the freedom of choosing the features you wish to participate in (or not)! 😌✨

For more information on Quote Posts, you can read Mastodon's announcement blog about it here: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/

The received wisdom is that growth on Mastodon and Bluesky comes from big waves of new users who flee other networks when their owners say or do something particularly evil. But according to @laurenshof, that's no longer a given. "Musk managed to put himself up high on the list of people whose actions directly led for the largest number of deaths in the twenty-first century due to his involvement in the shutdown of USAID, but such evil did not meaningfully lead to people leaving Musk’s social network for other places," Hof writes for his Connected Places newsletter. Here, he takes a look at what's happening.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

@ron@social.amichan.de

Vorgestern hatte jemand, ich glaube Du, @galileo , darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass Mastodon in Version 4.4.0 erschienen ist und man das aktualisieren sollte.

Es war 21:30 Uhr.

Eigentlich wollte ich ins Bett. Aber, ach was solls, installierste mal schnell noch 4.4.0. Oh, mein Ruby und /oder Redis ist jetzt zu alt. Na dann das zu erst.

2:25 Uhr bin ich mit völlig zerschossenem Mastodon ins Bett gefallen.

Und habe mich an meine Regel erinnert: "Mal eben schnell gibt es nicht!"

Am nächsten Morgen habe ich zusammen mit Gemini versucht, das System zum laufen zu bekommen. Wir haben installiert, deinstalliert, wieder installiert, aktiviert und deaktiviert. Wir haben Mastodon komplett sauber neu installiert und wieder deinstalliert. Alles verbunden mit Wartezeiten von durchaus 20 min oder mehr. Irgendwann hat Gemini gemeint: Sorry, ich bin am Ende meines Lateins.

Ich hätte 2 Möglichkeiten:

1. einen "richtigen" Experten mal auf mein System schauen lassen, das Problem liegt offensichtlich ausserhalb von Mastodon
oder
2. Mach Linux platt, installiere es komplett sauber, richte Mastodon neu ein, spiele ein Backup der Userdaten zurück.

Und da waren wir an dem Punkt, den ich immer befürchtet hatte: Ein Backup musste eingespielt werden.

Aber real gesehen war es egal. Die aktuelle Version werde ich nicht mehr hinbekommen. Also habe ich das mittlerweile knapp 3 Jahre alte System gebackupt, es waren am Ende drei Dateien: Datenbank, Medienarchiv, Konfiguration.

Dann habe ich die Platte abgezogen, eine zweite Platte genommen, das System sauber installiert und mit Gemini Schritt für Schritt Mastodon neu eingespielt.

Kritisch war erst ein mal nur der Bereich, die SSL-Verschlüsselung wieder zu aktivieren und dem Webserver zu überzeugen, die richtigen Dateien an der richtigen Stelle auszuspielen.

Und dann war das System, niegelnagelneu, tatsächlich wieder da.

Dann ging es ans Rückspielen. Und was soll ich sagen, es war am Ende tatsächlich relativ simpel. Klar, ohne Gemini hätte ich das nie hinbekommen.

Ich hab Gemini dann drei Listen erzeugen lassen:

1. Den kompletten am Ende funktionierenden Ablauf der Installation
2. Den kompletten am Ende funktionierenden Backup-Prozess.

Und die EISERNE Regel: "MAL SCHNELL GIBT ES NICHT!"

Nach 18 h lief das System wieder (inkl. 4,5 h schlafen).

Ein paar kleinere Dinge, Zeichenlimit, Upload-Limit hab ich dann später noch nachgeführt.

When a video from appears in my feed here in , it only shows the title and the URL, nothing more. This is not really helpful.

Would it be possible, that Mastodon shows something like the first 300 characters from the description (500 characters minus 120 for the peertube title and the URL), @renchap?

Seems like Peertube doesn't see it as their problem:

@nyquildotorg and needs a mechanism where domain names can be recycled. The fact that WordPress alone has no mechanism to allow a domain to exit the fediverse is reason enough. Sometimes servers get bricked and there is no way to go back and self-destruct.

Domains could be validated with a text record in the DNS by the owner of the domain name. If text record ActivityPubKill is true, then it should be trusted as so and defederated.

I'm not sure how this could be done, I don't know the ins and out. Maybe software packages could poll the DNS of failing federated servers and look for a universal or software specific kill tag or a file could be placed somewhere on a server that it looks for when a server fails, esp after 7 days.

Either way, a dns entry or a file on a physical server can be a trusted source as it takes elevated permission by someone in charge of a domain to usually do such a thing.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

A really easy video I have not seen is someone cover and showing off the new Mastodon features with each version release.

The core Mastodon org should do this but you really need a community of creators showing off the new features.

When a video from appears in my feed here in , it only shows the title and the URL, nothing more. This is not really helpful.

Would it be possible, that Mastodon shows something like the first 300 characters from the description (500 characters minus 120 for the peertube title and the URL), @renchap?

Seems like Peertube doesn't see it as their problem:

The received wisdom is that growth on Mastodon and Bluesky comes from big waves of new users who flee other networks when their owners say or do something particularly evil. But according to @laurenshof, that's no longer a given. "Musk managed to put himself up high on the list of people whose actions directly led for the largest number of deaths in the twenty-first century due to his involvement in the shutdown of USAID, but such evil did not meaningfully lead to people leaving Musk’s social network for other places," Hof writes for his Connected Places newsletter. Here, he takes a look at what's happening.

There is a new setting for server operators in 4.4, under Administration -> Server Settings -> Discovery, called "Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source". If you're running a server for a larger group of people there is no privacy downside to enabling this, and it will help make the fediverse more visible as a traffic source to the rest of the web.

@dansup Yes. But it's still something essential... I mean, earning a living. And that makes me think of video content creators like on YouTube.

It's something that's present and needs to be taken into account. For example, on Peertube, I think there's a feature to provide financial support with a redirect link 🤔

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:

If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.

They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!

I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪

Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

I dislike that when you click a hashtag, it pops up a little menu instead of taking to you the "browse posts in " page directly. The little popup should happen when you mouse over it, and it should act like a goddamned link when you click it.

Stuff like this, and the obstinance about not giving a setting to change the 500 character limit, and even simple stuff like not being able to temporarily deactivate your account just goes to show that Team makes some really goofus choices sometimes, I gotta say.

@Gargron@mastodon.social

There is a new setting for server operators in 4.4, under Administration -> Server Settings -> Discovery, called "Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source". If you're running a server for a larger group of people there is no privacy downside to enabling this, and it will help make the fediverse more visible as a traffic source to the rest of the web.

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:

If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.

They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!

I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪

Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

For today's , I'd like to thank everyone who supports the Fediverse. So, that means *you*. Yes, you, the one reading this.
Thank you!

The Fediverse truly is for everyone: if you don't have the skills or means to set up your own instance, you can join one of the public instances that aligns with your aspirations. If you can and want to, you can create your own instance, and thanks to lightweight (and interoperable) software, you can do it with spare hardware or very affordable VPS.
So thank you to all of you, friends of the Fediverse!

"Support for verifying remote quotes according to FEP-044f and displaying them in the Web UI has been implemented.

Quoting other people is not implemented yet, and it is currently not possible to mark your own posts as allowing quotes. However, a new “Who can quote” setting has been added to the “Posting defaults” section of the user settings. This setting allows you to set a default that will be used for new posts made on Mastodon 4.5 and newer, when quote posts will be fully implemented."

On bsky, of my 83 followers, 42 are spam. I can't stop them following, just block, but I still have 83 followers, despite having blocked 42.

Often I'm excited & intrigued to be greeted by ~12 notifications, but they're all about new followers, with each & every one spam. I spend more time laboriously blocking accounts than exploring.

It's not really what you want from a social media experience. I've found Mastodon has provided a superior experience thus far. 👍 :mastodon:

On bsky, of my 83 followers, 42 are spam. I can't stop them following, just block, but I still have 83 followers, despite having blocked 42.

Often I'm excited & intrigued to be greeted by ~12 notifications, but they're all about new followers, with each & every one spam. I spend more time laboriously blocking accounts than exploring.

It's not really what you want from a social media experience. I've found Mastodon has provided a superior experience thus far. 👍 :mastodon:

Hi, guys. So, my expectation was correct. I tried to self-host my heavy Mastodon server, added a huge number of relays and followings; I received all of these, lol. I am right that my server didn't last until now. But the good news is I am the only user of the server, and I can fix this by reinstalling my OS and the software. See you in a few hours!

Odd. Noticed that when viewing @mosseri from Mastodon his last post was on April 23, despite posting on Threads many times since and within the last 24 hours.

And if I follow him from here, his account doesn't show under my following list, despite indicating that I'm following on his profile.

Glitch? Intentional? How many other federated @threads accounts are like this? (Other threads.net accounts that I'm following seem okay.)

Certainly if wants to compete as on a translations into the reader's stated Interface Language should be mandatory, unless explicitly prohibited on an individual poster-by-poster basis

What gives?

A question about the things, as you are already open sourcing it (which is great):

Have you considered, moving the project into a foundation like @Gargron is doing it?
As you always say it's not for sale anyway, it's maybe a nice idea. Also the other handy services like @fedidb ,loop and so on..
That would give the people even more trust into the Fediverse 🥰

Compared to all other social media platforms, Mastodon has very few 1 mintues videos (like you see those on Insta, TikTok, X etc) in my feed or in the trending tab. It has more text based content, followed by images. Very interesting! I guess humans have always liked to read and write. There is no automated alog here just humans talking and boosting what is important to them. This is how social media should be instead of constant push of clickbait videos.

I pitched this idea to an ISP I was consulting for last year. A free “linktree” style homepage, available with select domain packages.
This is my Fediverse version where the user can collect all their platforms together, in one place, as well as create one RSS feed for all their latest activity.

Finally got my own Mastodon instance setup on @mastohost!

I was trialling this out on Fedihost for a couple weeks but then felt that it was unnecessary due to having my social.lol account, but there's just a ton of drama on that right now between omg.lol and micro.blog - and I'm kind of wanting to keep a safe space for myself!

You'll see the same posts here as you will on my Bluesky/Threads accounts!

But having my own server feels special 😎✨

Compared to all other social media platforms, Mastodon has very few 1 mintues videos (like you see those on Insta, TikTok, X etc) in my feed or in the trending tab. It has more text based content, followed by images. Very interesting! I guess humans have always liked to read and write. There is no automated alog here just humans talking and boosting what is important to them. This is how social media should be instead of constant push of clickbait videos.

Pixelfed (and Mastodon) are increasingly targeted by spammers.

Our current AutoSpam detection using Naive Bayes isn't enough*, so we are building a better detection and mitigation system.

Not only will it leverage (optional) established 3rd party services like SpamHaus, but also threat intel from other trusted "reporter" instances like Pixelfed.social.

It's called FediThreat.net, and will be available soon!

I'm beginning to understand why there are so few blogging platforms that work with . I thought I'd make my own as a weekend project and while it shows up fine in browser.pub/, getting to correctly display posts and followers is driving me absolutely crazy.

Why does Mastodon need its own weird special stuff? Why can't it just load the followers and outbox collections like the standard expects? WHY?

Mastodon on Toot TUI

There is nothing like a TUI (text user interface) to really help me focus. So when I stumbled on Toot TUI, I had to give it a try. Now, it is probably one of my favorite terminal applications.

Hi Jools!
Zunächst habe ich es als Fediverse-Beginner auch mit versucht, weil ich gelesen hatte, dass es am ehesten mit FB vergleichbar wäre. Um User dort wegzulocken, schien mir das wichtig.
Irgendwann habe ich bemerkt, dass die Zuordnung der Felder Titel und Text beim Übergang vom und zum viel größeren Mastodon-Fediversum schlecht gelöst ist. Deshalb habe ich dann Abstand genommen.
Außerdem ist die Installation von mit supereinfach.

Okay here is my very simple concept for a - a "business card" that encourages people to join the and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at , political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in / format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

EDIT: The new folder for the FediCard is here:

kai.nl.tab.digital/s/fc9rHL6wx

A simple design for a two-page business card. The front page shows the Fediverse logo, a QR code, and the text:

"Join the Fediverse!

No Ads
No Algorithms 
No Surveillance"

The back side has the text

@heybran define "algorithm". Technically, all software is an . But if you mean "algorithmic feed" then, kind of. Algorithmic feeds are when the software chooses which posts are included in your main feed based on characteristics of that content and not just your following list. does this with hashtags. It doesn't choose those hashtags for you, which makes it a very customizable "algorithm". There's also the Explore tag, which has an "algorithm" that's chosen by your instance.

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!

Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!

The Services

Mastodon

Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!

PeerTube

The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!

WriteFreely

We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.

The Rules

We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.

We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.

In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.

Legal Status

All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.

Further Reading

We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail:

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using to transcode video in a user's web-browser. blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23

Since then, I believe has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

Your points are absolutely valid, and I would certainly hope, that somebody finds the time to implement your suggestions. Very nice to know, that Mastodon is already at some.

The thing is, I think right now, is just hotter than & the . But that will change again, and it would be really great, when this stuff is fixed by the time an new wave of incoming people arrives. If we like it or not, many people were thrown away by exactly what you're describing.

Okay here is my very simple concept for a - a "business card" that encourages people to join the and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at , political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in / format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

EDIT: The new folder for the FediCard is here:

kai.nl.tab.digital/s/fc9rHL6wx

A simple design for a two-page business card. The front page shows the Fediverse logo, a QR code, and the text:

"Join the Fediverse!

The People's Social Media:

No Ads
No Algorithms 
No Surveillance"

The back side has the text

"joinfediverse.net"

There could be a instance that is kind of like SoundCloud; like, just have instance rules that posts can only be tracks with an mp3 attached, or replies to track posts, or reposts. That, and some kind of client that would just play through post streams, and you’ve got a SoundCloud kind-of thing, that federates. Does this already exist? Could it be cool?

Since I started my role as Head of Communications at Mastodon, I’ve been finding my surroundings becoming more and more… purple.

Our brand palette is a set of purple / indigo hues, and of course, I want to represent the organisation appropriately! 😄

I now have a couple of pairs of glasses with varieties of purple frames. Naturally, I also got a purple (sort of) watch band as well.

[side note – I am now a big fan of IOLLA, a Scottish brand, who made one of the pairs I’m now wearing regularly – they have brilliantly-designed clip-on sunglasses too]

I’ve also taken advantage of Framework’s new translucent purple laptop accessories, and have added a bezel and a couple of USB-C expansion modules in that colourway.

Working on being fully on-brand – new transparent purple bezel for my (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).

— Andy Piper (@andypiper) 2025-06-15T12:10:52.315Z

Oh, and I made a GNOME Shell user theme that uses the brand colours, with a little SVG Fediverse logo for the app menu, configured using the ArcMenu extension).

On a more technical side, I also made some small tools to create LibreOffice and macOS colour palettes out of lists of colours in text files. One hundred percent connected to the fact that I wanted to use the right colour scheme in documents and presentations 👍

Capitalism is when the guy who builds a social media app and shares it freely with the world gets next to nothing for their effort while the fascist convicted criminal who uses their work makes billions.

Please, tell me again how capitalism breeds innovation. All it breeds are greedy psychopathic parasites (aka billionaires).

@feb@loma.ml @isAutonomous@karlsruhe-social.de @rainer@friendica.sokoll.com ja, m.E.n. wurde es im Laufe der Zeit auch besser, dass auch die meisten Formatierungen zumindest korrekt anzeigen kann (z.B. kursiv fett usw.). Nur bspw. Bilder sind nicht eingebettet (sondern nur angehängt) und es werden auch nur die ersten vier Bilder angezeigt.
Am meisten Einschränkungen gibt es wohl mit der App namens
, aber in der Webapp und in den meisten anderen bewährten Apps ist wurde die Anzeige von etwa ein, zwei Jahren enorm verbessert.
Nur mit Überschriften kann Mastodon weiterhin nicht umgehen und zeigt denn nur den Titel + URL zum Post an. Wenn der Titel im Hauptteil integriert ist, wird aber alles (bzw. die Vorschau der ersten x Zeichen + Option zum ausklappen) angezeigt.

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.

This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.

Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.

This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.

Thank you 💞

What best describes how you interact with foreign language content on Mastodon?

Obviously not all content is treated the same, mostly I'm curious about first option vs other options.

Personally I like to try if it's something like Dutch, German or French where I either have some proficiency or there's a lot of shared grammar/vocab with languages I know, but I think machine translation nowadays is good enough that I can enjoy most content written in almost any language.

OptionVoters
Ignore it or filter it away in Mastodon settings1 (9%)
Frequently use machine translations0 (0%)
Try to read, fall back to machine translations7 (64%)
Try to read, or ignore if I don't get it3 (27%)

What best describes how you interact with foreign language content on Mastodon?

Obviously not all content is treated the same, mostly I'm curious about first option vs other options.

Personally I like to try if it's something like Dutch, German or French where I either have some proficiency or there's a lot of shared grammar/vocab with languages I know, but I think machine translation nowadays is good enough that I can enjoy most content written in almost any language.

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

Of the 2,100 followers I tried to move here, only 36 made it, because of the error on the other site.

If people want to boost (share) this to let people know I moved, and that they'll need to manually follow me, that would be great.

My old account has over 2,100 flowers.

While I may be losing those people, it is not as bad as the last time this happened, when I had over 10,000 followers.

Moving on the Fediverse is risky.

Fediverse.Games is Waiting for You!

Are you looking for a friendly, inclusive fediverse community? Fediverse.Games has a variety of services, and we're taking on new members on all of them!

The Services

Mastodon

Our OG service is Mastodon! We run glitch-soc, which gives you longer posts, markdown formating, and plenty of other fun stuff!

PeerTube

The second (and fastest growing!) service we offer is PeerTube. Our PeerTube allows import from your YouTube channel and 50GB of free video hosting!

WriteFreely

We've recently added WriteFreely to our services! It isn't a perfect service, but it's the best option of those available and we think it's a great addition, and we hope the long-form games writing community will grow with our contribution to it.

The Rules

We wish to run a friendly, kind and inclusive server, and do not have any tolerance for discrimination or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. It can be hard enough for people to be their true selves offline, let's not make it harder online too.

We also have no tolerance for the promotion or nazi, alt-right and ultra-conservative ideologies.

In the pursuit of accessibility, we ask users to add alt-text to their images where they're apply to for the advantage of those using screen readers to interact with us. However, we also do not tolerate abuse toward users who might forget to do so or aren't used to doing it yet.

Legal Status

All of our infrastructure and user data is held in Australia.

Further Reading

We also have a wiki, where you can read our server charter and what we can expect of each other in more detail:

Could someone explain a hypothetical.

If Vance were to join mastodon by comparison, assuming a similar desire to block from so many users, how differently might this play out based on the way that federation works within an Activity Pub context.

Just trying to understand the practical nature of the two protocols as applied to this case.

From what I understand of ATProrocol all that folks blocking achieves is it filters that account off for that user but otherwise the account can roll along just fine to other users. Correct me if I’m wrong here also. Keen to know more.

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

I can't add accounts to my lists unless I follow them?

OK so I'm ignorant - is this a restriction at the client (Tusky), instance (.social), network (Mastodon), protocol (ActivityPub), or other -level?

In unrelated news, about a hundred accounts I thought I'd curated in lists... I didn't.
