Don't forget to support your Fedi admins in any way you can.
Fediverse isn't run by multi-billion dollar companies, and in a lot of cases, is simply run by kind folks who just want to have a nice social media platform.
Therefore, there's a high chance that the server costs come out of their pockets.
Support your admins. They help Fedi go round.🫶
Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...
Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.
Goblins need spare computers everywhere!
#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?
Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?
*edit @generationX mentioned a hashtag, #computertruhe (which is a group or the german equivalent to this paying it forward of computers or related parts, and is active on mastodon!) This may translate to #computerchest and is the best lead on a relevant hashtag for this purpose so far!

@apps - Nach ein paar Tagen ohne Nutzung muss ich in den #Fedilab #Mastodon Timelines ewig nach unten schieben um von den alten Toots auf die neuesten zu kommen.
Am PC im Webbrowser kann ich einfach die Pos-1 Taste drücken.
Gibt es in #Fedilab auch eine einfache Möglichkeit auf das Aktuellste zu springen?
Why people are moving to Bluesky and Threads instead of Mastodon?
We have now successfully upgraded to v4.4.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2025-04-06 @mementomorisocial. This upgrade contains latest and newest version.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 89 changes ahead the last version which was v4.4.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2025-03-22.
As usual, please tell me or our other admins about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. 
What do you guys think about selfhosting Bluesky?
I selfhosted it few months ago and later gave up for some reason.
Hi my dear friends ❤️ 🌐
Because the Fedi rocks ‼️
Show your love and whether you like the photo ❤️
This is an AI photo created by a lady who takes many of these photos on Twitter
I don't like AI very much, but I think this is very good
But what annoyed me...
My friend's account has 8600 followers and this picture was only shared 4 times and liked 33 times on the oh so great Twitter 😡
I don't understand that
Can we top that on Fedi?

It's been eight years to the day since Lance Ulanoff, the storied Tech and Social Media Expert and an award-winning tech journalist, decided that Mastodon won't survive because William Shatner couldn't find him on here.
Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives:

Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives
Eight years ago Lance Ulanoff had a problem. William Shatner could not find him on Mastodon. His distress is understandable, relatable even. Who wouldn’t want to be found by Captain Kirk himself! TheSongs on the Security of Networks
RSS in Mastodon
One of Mastodon’s features you might not be aware of is the native RSS integration which is very easy to use, in this comic we see how.
Transcript
Hash: Did you know Mastodon has native RSS integration?
Hash: It’s as simple as to take the profile’s URL
Hash: And add .rss at the end
Hash: For example let’s take the URL mastodon.social/@thefunnypages and add .rss to it so is mastodon.social/@thefunnypages…
Hash: Look for that new URL in your favorite RSS reader
Hash: And presto! now you can follow that profile from the RSS reader
I hope this has been of use and if you want to support the comics
You desperately seek patience
but it quickly flee
It was still there
so close
Where is it?
I need it so much
Now come on
Now stay there
That's so annoying again
you can hardly believe
How can you overcome that
When patience just disappears
Well then get some coffee
and the chocolate
That will help
to find what disappeared so quickly

remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?
Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.

* single install serves as many sites as you want
* can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend)
* imports Disqus
* fetches Mastodon replies as comments
* supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de)
* probably has bugs

I thought favourites ⭐ were private (just between you and the poster) but it seems they are used to create the #Explore feed in #Mastodon? Why is that? Why not just use boosts? I don't like this 😕

Een vraag uit interesse en nieuwsgierigheid aan mijn Nederlandse taalgenoten: bij welke instance zit je en waarom?
I'm considering setting up a single-user #Mastodon instance for myself using
Anyone with experience with them? Worth trying or rather stay away?
Masto.host - Fully Managed Mastodon Hosting
Masto.host was built from the ground up to make running a Mastodon instance easy.Masto.host
Does anyone know where Mastodon admins hang out online?
I'd like to get better at tuning and running my instance, but I'm reaching the limit of how far I can get pulling at web searches. I'm running into some "Why does that tool do that" questions that are hard to sort out.

Just fixed quickly an issue with videos being cropped too much in some corner-case situations (replies mostly) in Mastodon v4.4.0-alpha.4 and Mastodon Bird UI nightly versions.
Mastodon Bird UI 2.1.2rc12 (nightly) for nightly/alpha/mainline versions is now available.

mozilla come proton: ha tolto ogni collegamento a mastodon dal suo sito ufficiale, sostituendolo con bluesky.
Invece Brave, Librewolf, Waterfox e Vivaldi mantengono il link all'account mastodon ufficiale nei loro rispettivi siti.
L'anno scorso Mozilla aveva chiuso la propria istanza mastodon e ora questo.

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!
We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!
Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

wie was z.B. ? In der Presse wird nunmal Mastodon, das ich im prinzip gut und wichtig finde, als eine der besten alternativen zu twitter gehypt . Und alternativen sind rar, besonders solche die nicht USA zentriert sind.
Andere Frage,darf man #mastodon kritisieren oder ist das ein Angriff auf ne heilige Kuh der man nur zu huldigen hat?

Ja, Leute, unser bisheriges #Mediensystem bricht gerade zusammen und wird von Fossilisten übernommen.
Aber es entsteht auch schon etwas Neues, Besseres, konkret auch in #Stuttgart, hier in 3 Komposita der Hoffnung gebloggt: #Fediversum, #Hackathon, #Hashtags. Schaut rein bzw. kommt vorbei am 19.

Much love to Greece today 🇬🇷 ❤️ 🇬🇷
Today everyone in Greece says
“Freedom or death”
Happy Independence Day to all Greeks 🇬🇷
This day today stands for freedom for all Greeks
but
The cry for freedom should be heard everywhere in the world
Today we see too often how freedom is put in chains
But I also see people fighting back
Full of fighting spirit, pride and passion and often so peacefully
Don't give up, world and its wonderful people

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance
I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.
#recreationalboxing #fitnessboxing #homecook #homebaker #homebbq
Treffe immer noch Leute, die behaupten, auf #Mastodon fehle es „an Reichweite“.
Ich halte dagegen und sage dann, dass das #Fediversum der richtige Ort sei, um beispielsweise einen #Hackathon gegen #Antisemitismus und das 1. Fediverse-Vernetzungstreffen am 19. Mai 2025 in #Stuttgart bekannt zu machen. 🙌✅
Wer könnte mir durchs Reposten und Kommentieren bitte beistehen? 🤓🇩🇪🇪🇺👍 #GegenjedenAntisemitismus #GegenjedenDualismus scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-…

March slowly nears it end, but there's still a week left to join our little jam and submit a game. You can follow the official theme ("Hoist The Sails!"), or ignore it completely. Everybody is welcome: professionals, hobbyists, even total beginners! Shoot for the stars, or build something tiny. But most importantly: Have fun! 🙂
And: Don't forget to share your progress with us, right here, in the Fediverse! 👀
Hallo #Kiel (und Umgebung)!
Wenn bei uns, wie z.B. gestern, mal der #Strom ausfällt, gibt's die schnellste Info der #Stadtwerke dazu über #X oder #Facebook.
Ist das noch zeitgemäß, transparent und demokratisch? Nein! #unplugTrump
Ich habe daher eine #Petition gestartet:
"Stadtwerke Kiel, kommt zu #Mastodon!"
Bitte mitzeichnen und #GerneBoosten

Nick Gerakines ( @ngerakines.me ):
ActivityPub and Mastodon are effectively the same thing to most people.
( @reiver note: this seems similar to the phrase "the Mastodon in the room".)
#ATmosphereConf #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #TheMastodonInTheRoom
Paraphrasing Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ):
You could fix how Mastodon and the Fediverse uses WebFinger if WebFinger could point to multiple profiles.
It doesn't now. But it could.

I'm seeing a lot of HTTP 499s in my logs 😔
This is especially when there is a bunch of traffic coming in to #snac2.
Seeing lots of CPU spikes with the snac process maxing out the CPU.
The VPS I am running this on is a 1 vCPU, 3GB RAM and 100GB SSD. I have run #Mastodon on this config before and it ran fine. Not sure what's going on.
Get ready for some whiplash as I migrate back to chow.fan.
