#Fediverse #ActivityPub

What are you looking for in social media? (1/N)

https://privacy.thenexus.today/what-are-you-looking-for-on-social-media/

Since you're seeing this on fedi -- or Bluesky, Blacksy, or elsewhere in the ATmosphere -- you already know the value of alternative social media that's not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's who make money by exploiting their users and working with their cronies in authoritarian governments.

But, what we have today is only the tip of the iceberg of what's possible.

#fediverse #ATmosphere #ActivityPub

Kinners, ich kann euch nur raten, schaut euch auch andere Zugangssoftware für das #Fediverse an

Unter anderem auch mal #Sharkey

Stellt euch vor, euer Mastodon in schön, schnell und mehr Funktionen 😁

🎉 ИТОГИ ГОДА 2025 🎉

Всем приветики!
Мы немного опоздали с итогами, но нам кажется — ничего страшного 😊 Делимся тем, каким для нас получился 2025 год:

- За этот год @most выпустил 50 материалов. Да, это немного, но важно учитывать, что в течение года приходилось справляться с большим количеством личных и семейных трудностей.

- @most запустил Cafe Space (@prostor) — наше собственное пространство. В его рамках мы развернули инстанс Sharkey, CafeForge, X (Matrix), Cinny (клиент Matrix), а также почту на домене fcfe.ru.

- К инстансу Flea Cafe с 24.10 подключилось 5975 инстансов, и, честно говоря, это нас очень радует. Когда мы создавали этот инстанс вместе с @stephanie@kittens.khlebushek.org, мы почти ничего не знали и просто учились на ходу.

- В CafeForge (аналог GitHub) появились новые способы авторизации: Nazlo.Space (Mastodon), GitHub и Discord.

Мы создали много проектов, но со временем поняли, что не сможем поддерживать всё из-за отсутствия финансирования. Всё, что работает сейчас, держится исключительно на наших силах и энтузиазме.

мы планируем каждую субботу публиковать посты о новых пространствах, каналах в XMPP и интересных лобби по всему Fediverse.

Спасибо всем, кто был с нами в этом году 💜
Дальше — больше, пусть и маленькими шагами.

Happy new year #fediverse. 🎆

It's nice to see the Fediverse user experience progressing. I've been using #Flipboard's Surf beta app logged in to my Mastodon account. It has All, text, video, audio, and image mode options (Discuss, Watch, Read, Listen, Look) you can change with a single click in the top header. I can change at anytime depending on my browsing mood.

So, if I want an image based social media experience, I click "Look". If I want a video mode, I choose "Watch" and posts contains videos. etc.

#Mastodon and other #Fediverse should really consider these kinds of modes. I esp like the video, audio and image only modes. Gives it a different app feel as I decide which browsing mode I enter.

I kind of already do it with with a "has:media" search shortcut bookmark with Mastodon, although Mastodon includes images, audio and video in its has:media search. I really wish it would be broken down by video, audio or images.

You can simply use relay instances to be interconnected with other instances to exchange posts and it works seamless with #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #snac / #snac2 and many other ones! If you're in tech, you might want to use:

You can simply add it to get a bigger reach but also to get more interesting content into your own timeline which becomes even more important on single user- & smaller instances.

#HappyNewYear. This is the 4th New Year I've entered with the #Fediverse. It really feels like a town square or community center, just like social media is supposed to be like, imo.

Being homebound, when I log on to the Fediverse, it is me "going to town." I go with you to your concerts, I hike with you, walk the forests, read your poems and essays, and "feel" your cats purr. I expand my knowledge, learn different languages and cultures, and share in your hopes and distresses.

There's too many to @ and reply to with specific messages, and I appreciate that problem, so Happy New Year to all.

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag happy New Year

And then at the stroke of midnight you find out that a longtime #fediverse follow of yours @bruceturner is a mutual bar friend. WELL THEN. WE ARE HERE.

And 2026, ay yes, 2026, the year Linux finally wins, everyone’s switching for real this time, and if it doesn’t happen you can blame me personally while I reinstall Arch for the fifth time pretending it’s society’s fault.

Believe me, since I said it, it’s gonna happen, for real, I said it, and nothing says inevitability like a Linux user’s confidence typed into a terminal at 3 a.m.

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:

* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful

* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM

* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort

* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project

And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

This week's #fediverse news - Fediverse Report #131

- How age verification laws impact the fediverse, both how we understand the network as well as the impact on server admins
- CrowdBucks is a new crowdfunding platform for the fediverse
- Google's Play Store requirements for clients result in @apps creating different versions for their app on FDroid

Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

I've had Honk, a light hearted activitypub platform, installed for quite awhile now. Updating and installing were simple enough that I could do it, but I honestly have no idea how to use it!

It's fun to say I've honked something tho. 🦆

Are there any other Honkers out there?

I'll write up my notes on the install process (has been stored away in my journal for over a year) before I uninstall.

I've been experimenting with lightweight activitypub tools like gotosocial and snac2.

So far snac2 works, but seems incompatible with basically every frontend I've tried.

gotosocial is more compatible, but crashes randomly and won't stay online for 24hrs at a time.

What am I doing wrong here?

Anyone have any tips?

#ActivityPub #Fediverse #gotosocial #snac2

Originally created as a temporary setup to experiment with #snac, I later decided to keep it online. For about a year now, it’s been my most 'private', less technical corner. And I couldn’t be happier: it runs in a #FreeBSD jail, uses almost zero resources, and is always ready to serve me.

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.
