Confusion bonus round: scheduled posts from one account appearing when viewing another 😆 "There's another me doing stuff!!!"

#Fediverse

I created multiple #Fediverse accounts all with the same user name & avatar but sometimes I get twisted around among them all (#Mastodon x 2, #Piefed, #NeoDB, #Lemmy, #Peertube, #Sharkey, #Hubzilla, #Pixelfed)

So I'm trying out annotated avatars to help clarify which of my posts come from which of my accounts, by adding the name of instance to the image.

Finding out all systems crop, but in different ways.

That's why on this #Glitch account my avatar now says "Exquisite". Not because I think I'm exquisite 😁 but because "Exquisite.Social" gets cropped.

I had to raise the text in my #Lemmy avatar because Lemmy (or at least the Alexandrite front end I use for Lemmy) crops the icon as a circle, so text needs to be nearer the centre to not get cropped.

(And yes, the avatar quality is terrible, especially when expanded. ~2 years ago, I resumed use of a really old avatar but for which the only file I still had left was a microscopic .jpg)

Typeface: Anton SC, 16 points with 1 pixel outline.
Done in #Photopea (as the least frustrating, for amateur me, image editor on Linux)

Aaaand I just remembered about "display names". Maybe I'll try that after I see how the avatar annotation goes.

📢 Ein kleiner Hinweis zum Thema Instanz-Administration im Fediverse

In den letzten Tagen ist mir wieder bewusst geworden, dass es rund um die Rolle von Administratoren im Fediverse manchmal Missverständnisse gibt. Deshalb möchte ich dazu ein paar allgemeine Worte schreiben.

Egal ob Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, Sharkey, PeerTube, BookWyrm oder eine andere Fediverse-Anwendung:

🛠️ Die Aufgabe eines Instanzbetreibers besteht in erster Linie darin, die technische Plattform bereitzustellen, zu warten und bei Problemen zu unterstützen.

Was Administratoren in der Regel nicht können:

❌ Passwörter einsehen
❌ Private Nachrichten lesen, die nicht öffentlich sind
❌ Sich einfach in Benutzerkonten einloggen
❌ Im Namen anderer Nutzer Beiträge verfassen

Viele Anwendungen im Fediverse bieten sehr umfangreiche Funktionen und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Gerade Friendica und Hubzilla verfügen über zahlreiche Optionen, die manchmal zu Verwirrung führen können. Das ist völlig normal.

💡 Deshalb mein Rat:

Wenn euch etwas merkwürdig vorkommt, eine Einstellung unklar ist oder ihr eine Meldung nicht versteht, dann wendet euch direkt an eure Instanzbetreiber oder die Community. Die meisten Administratoren helfen gern weiter und können oft schnell erklären, was hinter einer Funktion oder einer Fehlermeldung steckt.

Das Fediverse lebt von Offenheit, Transparenz und gegenseitiger Unterstützung. Deshalb sollten wir bei Unsicherheiten lieber nachfragen, bevor Vermutungen zu Missverständnissen, Gerüchten oder falschen Annahmen führen.

🤝 Reden hilft fast immer weiter.

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Tag und viele positive Begegnungen im Fediverse.

Over the weekend, I did some document creation with HTML and CSS. I wanted a simple two column layout and some textual styles: colors, size, all-caps text transform for section headings.

At first, I was looking for a template. While there are a lot of templates available, I really didn't like the designs I saw.

So just started with a blank text file, saved as .html, and got to work.

It didn't take too long and I had exactly what I was going for.

Used the browser's "Print to PDF" feature and got the document I wanted.

Wrote my first server announcement. Because yesterday, after updating my #Mastodon instance to 4.5.11, I didn't realise the Sidekiq died.

I spotted an unusual server load and temperature 24 hours later, found out that it was a Mastodon LXC, and realised there had been nothing processed by Sidekiq for 24 hours already.

I'm not sure about the reasons, because I didn't find anything useful in the logs. I definitely need better monitoring for #GlitchySocial.

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-beta.1+mementomods-2026-06-07, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly). Yes, beta, Mastodon has officially crossed from alpha into beta on the road to 4.6.

This update includes today's latest daily build with 119 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-05-26.

What's new in Mastodon core - these are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:

✨️ New features

- Mastodon hit v4.6.0-beta.1, the version we've been chasing through the alpha cycle has crossed into beta, signalling the upstream 4.6 release is getting close
- Collections is in beta! You can now use them on Mementomori.social
- Export Custom Filters, you can finally back up or migrate your filter rules
- A new direct link from Privacy and reach settings to your profile editor saves a click
- Rule acceptance during signup is now a form (better keyboard and assistive tech support)
- Vertical text editing in the alt text editor for languages that write top-to-bottom
- Three new languages in the languages helper: Lazuri, Mingrelian, and Ottoman Turkish
- "Hidden account" message is less misleading when you visit a profile you can't see
- Several internal refactors (BundleColumnError ported to TypeScript, copy-to-clipboard extracted into a hook) that should make future patches smoother

🔧 Fixes & improvements

- Pile of Collections fixes: editor no longer lets you add the same account twice, ValidationError when loading many collections at once is gone, missing null check when importing collections from notifications, and an "about page" error when selecting a non-default Rules language
- Custom filter export had a wrongly-named param
- Profile API documentation link in CHANGELOG corrected
- "Change thumbnail" button no longer shows when it shouldn't
- Server rules and the custom closed-registrations message no longer break
- Custom emoji formatting in usernames inside the `EmptyState` component fixed
- Trending links: author name spacing tightened
- Advanced UI navigation overflow issue fixed
- Signature verification handles invalid keys gracefully
- Container builds no longer fail when the repo name has uppercase characters
- Blocked domains no longer linger in the Elasticsearch InstancesIndex after being unblocked
- Admin Mailer trends mail rendering fixed
- Stylesheet imports are now recursive

♿ Accessibility

- New `PageUp` and `PageDown` hotkeys for list navigation
- Post/feed hotkey navigation made more robust
- Differentiated accessible labels for About links in the footer

📦 Dependency updates

- Vite 8.0.16, Yarn 4.16.0, Sass 1.100.0, Sidekiq 8.1.6, ioredis 5.11.0, ws 8.21.0, axios 1.17.0, react-redux 9.3.0, @reduxjs/toolkit 2.12.0, pg 8.21.0, plus a security update for `@vitest/browser` and many smaller bumps

🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)

This release adds Bird UI styling for the now-live Collections feature:

- Collections nav icon renders again (it was hidden by Bird UI's broad column-link icon-path reset)
- "Follows you" badge in account list items (collections lists, follower lists) uses the same dark pill style as in profiles
- Verified link badge in account list items mirrors the profile field verified style: Bird UI's tick icon and accent link color in place of the green gradient SVG
- All badges in account list items drop the core 4px padding so they sit flush in the row

Plus navigation polish:

- Notifications now sits in the second slot of the side navigation menu, right after Home
- Trends heading no longer renders a stray bottom border

The Fediverse is so cool because of the diversity of the different software. In the last weeks, I did build a (completely?) new one. The Menuverse consists of two software: 1) create daily changing dishes like in a canteen, and 2) can aggregate different of this actors in a marketplace. The working title for this is Menuverse.
Every canteen is Fediverse actor and not only can these marketplaces subscribe to this, but also other softwares like Mastodon, Misskey and so on.
I created a demo setup with live data from different university canteens here:
https://mahlzeitheute.de/ This is the marketplace software)
(The data and frontend is currently only in German).
You can also visit or follow the nearest canteen to me here: @fl-ca1.

You can find the full software here: https://codeberg.org/54GradSoftware/menuverse
But please note that this still quite experimental and I would not advise running in production (unsupervised).

I would love to get (technical) feedback, and I'm looking for real canteens who would like to test the software.

More information in the next posts (this is a thread). [1/4]

#pppdev project will be about creating collections and pins inside of them which can be either a link,an image or a simple note.Im thinking about how to call these two entities. Right now its Collection and Pin but Pin suggests that maybe it should be Board instead of collection? On the other hand, calling them Pins dont allow us to use "Pin it to the top" terminology - which set of names is better in your opinion? Or maybe something entirely else.I guess are.na uses Collection/Block #fediverse

@dansup Yes we want to be able to hide slop, because it insults our brains and souls.

Why would anyone want to look at pictures or videos generated by copying e.g. actual photographers or artists, instead of watching or admiring the original?

Yes these kind of accounts bluntly copying recently posted pictures already exist e.g. on Pixelfed. They just download our images, throw them into a slop machine and post the output as "originals".

Those slops add zero none nada absolutely null value to our society or the arts and their sole purpose is attention seeking. And this at our all costs by burning vital resources.

I wouldn't mind banning them all. Let them do their scamming on TikTok or Insta, but not in the #fediverse.

Weil ja die meisten hier auf Mastodon politisch nach links tendieren, möchte ich Euch diesen klugen Druko 👇 von @nona zu einem Solarpunk - Dialog empfehlen! ✅

Mir geht es dabei erstmal noch gar nicht um Moral, sondern um Psychologie:

Rechte neigen öfter zur Reaktanz, Linke öfter zur Arroganz.

Und ich halte das als Moderater für ein riesiges Demokratie - Problem, weil sich dadurch akademisierte Milieus & Parteien immer wieder in Blasen abschließen und an Rechtspopulisten verlieren! 🤔🔥

Wer da mal philosophisch vertieft einsteigen möchte, findet das schon beim ex-kommunistischen Erkenntnistheoretiker Karl Popper als „Historizismus“. 📚

Und wer nicht möchte, dass auch das Fediverse zur Dauerempörungsblase wird, kommt damit auch dialogisch weiter.

Westie Ducky Blues by Lisa S. Baker features an adorable West Highland White Terrier happily strumming a turquoise guitar while accompanied by two cheerful rubber duckies. Rendered in expressive painterly brushstrokes and bright, playful colors, this whimsical portrait celebrates music, friendship, and a lighthearted sense of fun.

A sneak peak of another #activitypub project I'm working on - a different way of social bookmarking. Coming soon!

#fediverse #fedidev #ruby

🚀 BizzFed.de ist im Early Access!
Ich baue ein föderiertes berufliches Netzwerk auf Basis von ActivityPub – berufliches Networking im Fediverse, ohne zentrale Plattform und ohne Datenkraken.
Aktuell geht es um eins: das Konzept gemeinsam evaluieren. Ich suche neugierige Tester:innen, die mitdenken, ausprobieren und ehrliches Feedback geben.
Lust, Teil der frühen Phase zu sein? Registriert euch!

Weekend project that turned into infra I actually run daily: MastoSum.

The stack: RHEL host, 100% rootless Podman. Web on FastAPI, Celery worker/beat/flower, PostgreSQL 16, Valkey. All on userspace networking (pasta), images built & shipped by a self-hosted Forgejo runner. No root daemon, no privileged anything.

What it does: tracks technical hashtags all day and produces one daily briefing, every point linked to the original post + author. It reads only public hashtag timelines, credits every source, and trains on nothing.

And yes, an LLM writes the prose: a local Ministral model from French lab Mistral AI, running on my own hardware. No cloud, nothing leaving the box. Saying that plainly, not burying it. The whole design goal was to point readers *back* at the authors, not replace reading them.

I think I perfected https://nevermind.jointhefediverse.net as a good "get started with the fediverse" site with a few added links.

#fediverse

people want familiarity. inspiration doesn't mean dumbing anything down.

it means taking what already works, ripping out the toxic stuff:

ads, dark patterns, the whole extraction machine, and rebuilding it around privacy and safety.

a safer twitter,
a safer youtube,
a safer instagram,
a safer tiktok.

safer because you self-host and control everything, then build communities with people you trust.

that's it. that's the goal.

If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.

Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

👉 🏃🏻‍♀️ https://vast-ch.github.io/strava-archive-to-fitpub-batch-import/

Screenshot of the app. Move your activity history from Strava to FitPub. This tool converts your Strava data export into correctly formatted, sized, and counted ZIP batches ready for import.

Fedizens! Please send me your favourite meme which shows something important about the #Fediverse

I'll go first:

Alt...

Star wars meme. Empire soldier land to interrogate the retired general. "Mastodon? Really? Man of your talents?". He replies: "It's a peaceful life" From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-a-peaceful-life "It's a Peaceful Life, also known as Really? Man Of Your Talents?, is a reaction image and image macro meme format using a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in which the character Galen Erso (played by actor Mads Mikkelsen) tells Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), "It's a peaceful life," after Krennic expresses pitiful shock that Erso is a farmer"

💯 btw - There's federated wiki software. https://ibis.wiki

And would it be possible to set up Wikipedia copies per year for instance 2025 and 2026 and 2002 and so on so the public can create a more compact version ?

We could have much smaller Wikipedia content forks for example per country.

I'm having this in mind as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence_in_Wikimedia_projects#Generative_AI_and_LLMs

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.

I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.

RE: https://techhub.social/@fedicon/116665644723775770

I’m no longer funded to work on #Fediverse stuff and won’t be able to attend this, but I know last year’s FediCon event was great and I hope a good, international cross-section of the community and developers are able to meet there this year!

What made you stop using #youtube and switch to #PeerTube? Also, which #fediverse social networks do you use on a daily basis, and what benefits have you noticed??

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

#TheFutureIsFederated

Just a little bit frustrating to read people saying "the Fediverse should have starter packs" when I've spent the last four+ years hand-curating recommended accounts to follow on @FediFollows and https://fedi.directory

I'm not the only person doing this kind of initiative, the Trunk directory (https://communitywiki.org/trunk) was the first, and the Fediverse.info directory by @dansup (https://fediverse.info/explore/people) is an automated way for people to add themselves to suggested lists.

We already have these things on the Fedi, people just need to ask around and discover them, and let their friends know about them.
