jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Interaktion beruht auf Gegenseitigkeit, die ich aber auf dem Account der @unijena nicht wirklich sehe. Vielleicht sollte die Uni da mal ihr SocialMediaKonzept überdenken. Für Selbstdarstellung reicht nämlich auch ein Blog auf der Webseite und ein RSS-Bot im #Fediverse

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.
You simply don’t need to.
You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.
Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.
The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.
And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

Honestly, the only reason I can come up with for Brussels not daring to build and run its own ActivityPub server where EU citizens can follow what their reps are up to is that they don't trust their own people … which, yeah, sounds about right.

Why would the EU get behind W Social, a European social media platform that barely exists, rather than Mastodon, a European social media platform that has been successfully operating for a decade?

As it stands, our follow list has a bias towards trans woman, trans fems, and fembies. We want to balance out our feed and see your posts, thoughts, problems, questions, and joy that we're not currently seeing.
The problem we're having is that we genuinely have not been able to find many by searching 😭
For example, if we do a search from our instance for #TransMasc, we only see about 13 profiles and a handful of posts, probably due to our server not fully searching across fedi 😞
(FYI, any tech recommendations on additionally relays or ways to solve this search / federation issue on a Glitch-SOC server would be very much welcomed.)
So, please can y'all either reply back for us to follow you, have some recommendations of folk we can follow, or have thoughts on getting around our search / federation issue, we'd be super grateful

You chould strengthen the #fediverse by using it. There's no need for another split platform.
Unsere Facebook-Seite wurde plötzlich gesperrt.
Diesen Satz hört man leider immer wieder. Doch was passiert, wenn die gesamte Firmenpräsenz, Vereinskommunikation oder Kundeninformation von einer einzigen Plattform abhängt?
Warum eine eigene Webseite unter eigener Domain auch 2026 noch die wichtigste Grundlage jeder digitalen Präsenz ist und weshalb soziale Netzwerke nur ein zusätzlicher Kommunikationskanal sein sollten, beschreibe ich in meinem neuen Artikel:
#Webseite #Linux #Drupal #Datensicherheit #Hosting #Fediverse #Systemadministration
Na Klasse. #YouTube hat den Kanal von #Weedland gelöscht. Einen Kanal mit fast 75.000 Abos.
Ein Kanal, den ich gerne gesehen habe. Vor allem habe ich da ganz viel zum Thema Licht gelernt in der Videoreihe mit Jöran Kortmann von #GreenCeption. Ich hatte da noch etliche Videos auf meiner Watchlist.
Ich würde mir echt wünschen, dass die ganzen Creator von Content über #Cannabis endlich mal den Plattformen der Trump-Speichellecker den Rücken kehren würden und das #Fediverse für sich entdecken.
Das Argument, dass dann kommt: Reichweite. Ja, am Anfang vielleicht Scheiße. Aber wenn sie auch entsprechend Werbung für den Kanal im Fediverse machen würden würden auch Leute herkommen. Und dann eine Ansage: „Wenn mein Kanal bei YT wieder gelöscht wird dann findet ihr mich nur noch im Fediverse.“
Bei YT sind diese Kanäle ohnehin alle demonitarisiert. Also kann es nicht die Kohle sein.

New project loading! 🚀
I am planning to launch it this week.
Introducing the "Uganda Verified" a platform aimed at helping identify and promote legitimate Ugandan organizations, projects, initiatives, and individuals.
The #mastodon account is already live: @uganda_verified
Follow us to stay updated as we get ready for launch.
I'm also looking for one or more volunteers who can help us set up and manage a dedicated Mastodon server for the project.
For us, verification means confirming that a person or organization is genuinely based in Uganda and that the organization or project they are promoting is properly & legally registered.
The first version will be simple. There is no backend yet, so approved profiles will be added manually while the platform continues to evolve.
It warms my heart to see more #MutualAid initiatives sprout on the #Fediverse.
@ethan256 is doing a great job launching #UgandaVerified, and all of our support as #GazaVerified team goes to him.
The purpose of this initiative is similar to that of the initiative for Gaza.
When humanitarian catastrophes cut entire communities out of their sources of living, and traditional institutions fail to provide them with support, many victims may resort to social media to get their voices heard and get a lifeline through donations.
However, scammers and fraudsters also easily inject themselves into this flow of requests, which eventually makes it hard for many to distinguish legitimate requests from fraudulent ones.
Many react by simply avoiding donating altogether, even if they agree with the cause.
Grassroot verification initiatives solve exactly this problem, by verifying the legitimity of the claims through video calls with trusted local intermediaries, assuring that funds reach the right people.

I plan to write an "Introduction to the #Fediverse " article for my website. It's intended for people who came to my website for the folk tales, and had no prior experience with the Fediverse
Here is a first draft. Can you give me some feedback on what I should improve? #FediHelp
= Folklore on the Fediverse =
More than half of the world's population are estimated to use social media in one form or another. However, the current state of social media leaves much to be desired. The richest man in the world uses the platforms he owns to openly support racism and fascism. The others are hardly better - they flood users' feed with posts that are sure to upset them, in order to trigger responses and thus increase "engagement" and ad revenue.
But there is an alternative to the commercial platforms, their algorithms, and their hidden and not-so-hidden agendas: The Fediverse.
Instead of centralized system under the authority of a single provider, it consists of a multitude of servers (called "instances") owned by different people and organizations which communicate with each other using a common protocol - similar to how email servers have communicated since the earliest days of the Internet. As long as their instances have connected each other, each user can follow, like, boost, and comment on the post of any other users. There is no algorithm that can be manipulated by outside forces, just people talking to each other.
As a folklorist, I am deeply appreciative of this approach. The oral folk tales I study were likewise told peer to peer, without any central authority who set the tone what is acceptable and what is not. Some folk tales became "viral" and spread across Europe in one form or another, while others languished in obscurity. But while the authorities (ecclesiastical, secular, intellectual...) tried to promote their own view of the world, the amateur storytellers of the countryside always had their own ideas on what stories to share.
The Fediverse is not free of problems, but it captures the essence of peer to peer sharing of stories and information better than any of the commercial platforms.
= Where to start =
The Fediverse has a multitude of expressions, and choosing the system you are using will have consequences for what you can and cannot do with it (though there is no reason why you should limit yourself to one system). Possible options include:
- Microblogging: Mastodon, Misskey, Plermoma

and many others. It is even possible to turn a WordPress site into its own Fediverse-compatible system (which is what you are reading now) with the right plugin, allowing other Fediverse users to share and comment it from their own accounts. All these systems are broadly compatible - for instance, if you have a Mastodon account, you can follow someone with a Pixelfed account and see, share, and comment on their pictures even though they are on a completely different server.
== First Steps ==
If you have had no prior contact with the Fediverse, I recommend starting out with a Mastodon account. Mastodon is the single most popular Fediverse implementation, it is not overly complex to use, and it is well-supported and regularly updated. Once you have gathered some experience with how the Fediverse works, you can always try out another system.
== Why the instance does not matter... ==
The single biggest hurdle many newcomers have is picking an instance for their account. But there is no reason to stress too much about this choice. As a reminder, all Fediverse instances can connect with each other, so even if you pick a particular instance, you can still follow your favorite accounts elsewhere. And if you end up being unsatisfied with your Mastodon instance, you can even migrate to a different instance, taking all your Fediverse connections with you (although your old posts will remain on the old instance).
== ...and why it does ==
Still, there are some things you _should_ keep in mind when picking an instance. While all Fediverse instances _can_ connect with each other, not all of them do. The admins of each instance have responsibilities to both to their users and the fediverse at large, and need to ensure that abuse is stopped - but each instance has slightly different interpretations of what this means and what they will tolerate. And instances that - in the opinions of other admins - do not do enough to stop abuse from their users will often be blocked by other instances. As an example, instances that are overrun by accounts run by Nazis or people trying to sell you cryptocurrencies will be blocked by most of the Fediverse very quickly. So before you register at an instance, you should check both their moderation policies (on the "About" page) and their local timeline. If you don't like what you see, go elsewhere.
In contrast, you might like what you see in the local timeline. Many instances are focused on specific topic, whether art, history, IT security, or tabletop role-playing games. If you are new to the Fediverse, finding an instance that fits your interests and checking out the local timeline can be a great way of finding new people to follow.
Finally, you should make sure that the instance is well maintained and up to date. For Mastodon, check out the version number at mastodon.social, the flagship instance (as of this writing, the version is 4.6.0) - if the version number of another instance is significantly lower, it is a sign that the administrator is not committed to maintenance, which in turn comes with the risk that the instance suddenly closes down one day and takes all your data with it.
(Even on a well-managed instance it is still a good idea to regularly back up your user data. If the worst comes to worst and your instance suddenly shut down, you can use that data to rebuild most of your social connections on another instance.)
== "Hello World!" ==
Once you have picked an instance and registered an account, there are a few further steps you should take to get a good start into the Fediverse.
First, fill out your profile with some information about you so that others who come across you will know what you are interested in. Add a few applicable hashtags.
Then create an introductory post using the #Introduction hashtag, and describe what you plan to post about and what topics you are interested in - again, using applicable hashtags. This will allow a lot of other people to find you and connect with you. It's probably a good idea to pin this post to your profile as well.
After this is done, you can search for interesting posts and people to follow - by searching for relevant hashtags. Since the Fediverse doesn't have any algorithm to fill your feed, hashtags are the fundamental tool to finding interesting things and people. And at least in the beginning, you will need to put in some effort to find interesting people to follow - otherwise your feed will look empty.
But once you have done this work, your timeline will fill up quickly. And while you might miss specific accounts and people on commercial social media platforms, I guarantee you will not miss the platforms themselves.

If I'm following a person, their post will show up for sure, but sometimes not the post it's replying to. In this case I can still follow a link back to the original instance. (Which is a way of "getting around" in and of itself.)
I think part of this might be because snac is conservative in terms of caching, whereas Mastodon is apparently very aggressive about it. So while snac is very lightweight (which is its main point) on Mastodon it would feel less insular. Hashtags on a semi-large Mastodon instance can be used to see a lot of posts from people you don't follow, but on this snac instance it's almost pointless to filter by hashtag.
Conversely, I have no idea who might be able to see this post here, just because they follow the Fediverse hashtag or so...?
I assume one way to get more input might be to follow more people. But then the feed would be way too busy. So perhaps an alternative would be to create a separate account on the same instance that follows a ton of people, which would cause the snac server to retrieve their posts (or know about the server?), and then I guess that should improve things somewhat even on this account, making hashtags more usable and seeing more replies or reply parent-posts.
As I said, I'd love if anyone with more knowledge about the Fediverse or Activity Pub etc. could enlighten me a bit.

Nach meiner Erfahrung auch mit vielen hier auf Mastodon ist die fossile Finanzierung der Regime im Iran & in Russland gar nicht schwer zu verstehen.
Dieser Fossilismus - Zusammenhang wird jedoch medial & politisch noch immer verdrängt.
So warnte ich 2015 in „Öl- und Glaubenskriege“ vor der Gefahr weiterer Öl- und Golfkriege.
In der Kolumne „Ölfluch und Antisemitismus“ rief ich ausdrücklich dazu auf, nicht weiterhin Putin, Chamenei samt Hamas, Hisbollah & Huthi zu finanzieren.
In meiner Rede gegen jeden Antisemitismus am 9.11.23 im Landtag BW thematisierte ich auch das Fossilregime von Katar und plädierte für erneuerbare Friedensenergien.
Und noch im letzten Juli gab ich eine PM gegen die fossile Finanzierung von Russland & Iran heraus. Medienresonanz nahe Null.
Immerhin: So kann niemand behaupten, mensch habe ja nicht wissen können… 🤔🔥🇮🇷🇷🇺🇶🇦

🎉 Another milestone reached: my first contribution to @Mastodon has been merged into main!
I noticed the Service Worker was broken on 4.6.0-rc.1 and recent nightlies - its code chunks were requested from the site root and returned 404, so the worker never installed. That means no push notifications and no offline cache.
On my own instance I had been keeping it alive with some hacky Dockerfile symlinks. 😅
Now there's a proper fix: a small Vite plugin that rewrites the chunk paths at build time.
Admins on 4.6-rc.1 / nightly: the fix is on its way - your Service Worker will come back to life in the next build.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).
I wonder what will be the next major driver of #migration to the #Fediverse? X/Musk does something that drives away users, or governments? It catches on at last in the EU? Bluesky blows up? #Loops goes viral? Facebook shuts down? #Threads makes sharing the default?

FediSuite - Fediverse Management Platform
If you manage several Fediverse accounts, you're constantly juggling browser tabs, losing track of which input field belongs to which platform, and at some point you no longer know what you've already posted. #FediSuite brings everything together in one place.
Connect accounts from 19(+) #Fediverse platforms: #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Misskey, #Friendica, #PeerTube, #Loops, #Wordpress, #Vernissage and more. The app detects your instance type automatically, loads the correct character limit and media rules straight from your instance, and sets up the composer accordingly. No manual configuration needed.
The analytics go way beyond plain follower counts: daily engagement charts, follower growth, your best posting times as a heatmap, hashtag performance, and a tips engine that evaluates your actual data and gives you concrete suggestions based on your own numbers.
Schedule posts down to the minute in your own time zone. Background workers handle publishing reliably, with resume handling for rate limits and atomic delivery.
FediSuite is free and #OpenSource under the GPL-3.0. Anyone can host their own FediSuite #instance and get it added to the official list automatically.
If you find a bug, especially in the #SelfHosting setup, feel free to report it. The project is being actively developed, and real-world bug reports are among the most valuable contributions right now. The CONTRIBUTING.md explains how it works.
The project lives on donations. Donations guarantee and make it possible for FediSuite to keep going and keep being developed. To support FediSuite, click the yellow button on the website.

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. One unified live feed where the current horrors of the day are mixing with pictures of people's pets really isn't good for our mental health.
I guess CWs help here, a bit, but they often lead to fighting over everyone's expectations of how they should be applied.
Posting in dedicated communities and switching between them gives people more agency, I think.
