#Mastodon got a lift in sign ups also.

"Month over month, signups were also up by 27% with 90,000 newly registered accounts in November."

This account is one in those 90,000.

A downside of fediverse (at the moment) is the wrongly displayed amount of likes/shares (boosts) of a post.

When you want to double check it, click the three dots underneath the post and select 'open in original page'.

It can result in a post showing for example '3 boosts' on your instance into '280 boosts' on the original page.

Sorry, aber ich finde weder friendica, peertube oder sonstige Instanzen zum anmelden, deutschsprachige schon gar nicht. Habe das mehrfach versucht.
Mastodon war easy zu finden.
Außerdem habe ich eine Diaspora Instanz gefunden die eben selbiges ist - Leere.

Einen Server selbst zu betreiben, fehlt mir die Zeit, Muße und auch die Kompetenz dazu (soll ja auch sicher sein). Da bin ich sicher nicht alleine.

TIL that some Mastodon servers require authentication even to get a public post by API.

Oh well, more error checking code it is, then :)

#fediverse #mastodon #API #public



Coming soon… Streamiverse.

A curated streaming fediverse post API compatible with the Mastodon API for use in teaching, demos, presenting, etc. Basically, if you were using the Mastodon public timeline API for these use cases before it started to require authentication, this will be a good alternative :)

If you have suggestions for the curated feed, reply to this with links to posts.

While #Mastodon is the giant of the #Fediverse , I am curious if any of the other projects have made better strides with onboarding, moderation, UX and so forth.

How is #Friendica on these issues? Or #Misskey ? Ideally we should have a number of _different_ #ActivityPub -based systems which all compete to make their user experiences better. I mean, isn't tying ourselves too closely to any single platform how we got ourselves into this mess in the first place?


Your friendly reminder that the guy whose company just invested $millions into #Bluesky is a former business associate of ex-Breitbart boss #SteveBannon.

Another reason I love the #Fediverse: some of the instance maintainers are actually plush sharks. 🦈 blahaj.social/@maartje/1135029…

Oh ja - und irgendwann hat man resigniert, hin und wieder darauf hinzuweisen, dass das #Fediverse viel mehr als Mastodon sei. @hamiller_friendica @jakob

Grow the fuck up. Stop telling how The Internet has to wrap around you being a consumer. Fedi is just a part of 65,535 ports (x2) and really this conversation is fucking boring.

Sol up your own XMPP server (jitsi deploy, 90 seconds), IRC deploy, six seconds.

Aww, you can't Do That?

Funny tell me how to slap the bet around your little asses because you can't.

Not my fucking job.

Grow up.

I'm out of retirement because you're stupid.

responsibility for your interactions are Your responsibility.

TV in the 80s raised children.

Your children (you children) aren't mine.

Grow, adapt, or fuck the fuck off.

I'm sick of this tripe conversation.

Or spoil up a nice if your own.

I'll wait for the flood of incompetence and arguments.


micromookie.com was one of my first #Mastodon instances that I brought up and ran -- way back in 2018.

Thank goodness for the @internetarchive. They preserved a bunch of the instance and I'm thankful for that.

How much does it cost me to run this single-user #Mastodon instance annually?

$130 - VPS (4x vCPU, 16GB RAM, 200GB Storage, 10TB Transfer)
$12 - Domain
$0 - DNS
$0 - Email
$0 - Monitoring / Alerting
$0 - Observability

Total (Annual): $142
Per Month: $11.83

Not bad, it’s $4 less than #Netflix (without ads) per month. The #Fediverse way more amusing and fun when compared to Netflix.

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.

I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.

So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

#BSDCafe #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialNetworks #SocialMedia #Community #Trust #OpenSource #DigitalFreedom #JoinTheFediverse


The #Fediverse is starting to feel like fall 2022, only instead of every other post being about #twitter it’s about #bluesky


Until those that I interact with here on the #Fediverse all leave for #Bluesky, I really don’t care how fast Bluesky is growing.

The people I follow and those that I have chance encounters with on the Fediverse are awesome.

Y’all keep on being you. This place is most excellent!

#Mastodon #GoToSocial


We’re getting it wrong when we tell folks that #Mastodon is just like “Old #Twitter”. If you want that, that’s #Bluesky. Mastodon is a different kind of place.

This is a more intimate community that discourages “influencing” because there’s no profit motive for eyeballs. The microblogging approach may look similar to Twitter but the way the communities form and conversations evolve is fundamentally different.

It’s no uptopia; we’ve got a shitload of work to do to make it safer.

Can a few people share their bridged usernames to try this out?

You can follow @bsky.brid.gy to get started.

(Unless your server's admin blocked the bridge.)

#bluesky #fediverse #StarterPack


Alright, here's a proof of concept: A starter pack of bridged fediverse accounts you can follow on Bluesky.

Seems to be working?

I don't really intend to keep this updated, but feel free to borrow the idea!

If you still have a #Twitter account, consider boosting my posts about the #Fediverse there...

(Nitter addon enabled: Twitter links via https://nitter.privacytools.io)


Reminder that you can post about #Mastodon / #Fediverse on sites like Twitter, using the hashtags people are using to criticize them. I go there sometimes and talk about how we aren't owned by a crazy billionaire and how blocking actually works here.

not sure what the benefits we might get by bridging with Bluesky such that its owners might want to keep us out.
Clearly there are some in the #Fediverse who may want to bridge in to Bluesky but equally there are plenty of others, including me, who want to keep as far away from it as possible.


Asking for my better half: At the end of 2024 what are your recommended/proven #POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere) setups for people who aren't super technical (but would have help setting it up) and want to publish photos, short videos and the occasional blog post/essay? #OpenSource #FOSS solutions preferred, but also happy to consider commerical solutions and would need integration with IG/BSky, but also #Fediverse...

In case you forgot, I also happen to run the Fediverse People Directory!

It's over 3 years old now, and I will show it some love with some well deserved updates next month!

fediverse.info/explore/people

#fediverse #peopleDirectory #fediverseInfo


I don't want to duplicate efforts with other Starter Pack/Starter Kit projects, so if you are building one for the fediverse, we should chat!

I'd love more help, and plan to release the source code under the established Pixelfed banner!

#starterKits #fediverse #activityPub


Just a reminder: everything you do on social media is public. Even if you delete a post on your instance, it can still exist on other instances, in the cache of search engines or private databases.

#Bluesky #Mastodon #Fediverse #decentralisation


ActivityPub Starter Kits update:

I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!

ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.
