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.
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?
#Eventbrite to be acquired by #BendingSpoons, following their acquisition of #Meetup.com which caused many users to migrate to Eventbrite in the first place. I think at this point it becomes very obvious that the #Fediverse is the best place to coordinate your meetups, and you have many options to choose from: #Mobilizon, #Gancio and even #Wordpress with the #ActivityPub Event Bridge plugin. Everyone knows Bending Spoon's playbook, enshittification is inevitable.

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.
Happy birthday, FediHome!
Found 46 new servers and 54 servers died off since 10 hours ago
28,608 servers checked today. 913,961 Monthly Active Users as of today

Is it only me or did we never went past 2016, because to me, we all died that year and we just live in hell now, lol?
Thank god for Fediverse, I feel like this is an alternative reality.
Attention #Fediverse save the date!
On February 24th, 2026 in #Montreal we're putting on a fediverse event.
- A morning of technical talks
- An accessible afternoon to bring-a-friend
- An evening to socialize.
For my bit, I'll be doing a talk on how content creators can build their own self-hosted #Patreon with FOSS tools!
Hey Fediverse, does anyone have any experience in using slurp to migrate an account to another domain while keeping all posts, media, etc?
https://codeberg.org/vyr/slurp
I would like to migrate my account to another server but want to keep my data, is that possible with slurp?
From Mastodon to GoToSocial it seems to be working but does it also work to another Mastodons server?
Thank you!
Don't forget to boost the posts that you like my FediFriends! 💚
This is how The Algorithm works here.
The Algorithm is US!
Sounds good, and Fedicat has a very impressive list of features re so many #Fediverse platforms
Sadly, I can't try it out as I don't have iOS
I love that on the Fediverse thinking "this is such good moss content" and "wow, these mushrooms are really cool" is totally normal.

Danke dass du deine Erfahrungen und Eindrücke hier ehrlich mit uns teilst und zur Diskussion stellst!
Gerade in Bezug auf #Klimaschutz habe ich persönlich da eine sehr andere Nutzererfahrung bisher gemacht: Mit bspw. @rahmstorf @fff @lisapoettinger etc. sind ja viele Stimmen der deutschen Klimawissenschaft und -aktivismus hier durchaus sehr aktiv zugegen.
Welche Institutionen oder Personen vermisst du denn hier speziell? Wie würdest du ihnen das #Fediverse "pitchen" ? :)
Herzlichen Dank, @h0ldi 🙏 - es war schon ein Moment, als nach Jahrzehnten der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit plötzlich über die Psychologie der #Mimesis die #Religionswissenschaft mit dem Konzept der #Religionen und #Politikwissenschaft mit dem Konzept der #Zivilreligionen zueinander passten! 📚😳🙏
Habe daher inzwischen auch eine #Grafik zur #Medienethik & Gefahr der #Rechtsmimesis hier & auf dem #Blog ins #Fediverse gepostet: https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/files/MedienMimesisMichaelBlumeSchaubild251225-scaled.jpg
🧵
Habt ihr schon das Inselspiel vom ZDF ausprobiert?
Spannendes Experiment das zeigt, wie schnell wir in eine Gesellschaftsform rutschen, die alles andere als eine repraesentative #Demokratie darstellt.
Der Chat-Bot stellt die Fragen durchaus raffiniert.
Dauert nur wenige Minuten. Bitte boostet es doch & packt eure Ergebnisse unter dieses Posting. Bin echt gespannt!
P.S. Zu einer freien Gesellschaft gehoert imho auch das #Fediverse ➡️ https://www.metacheles.de/p/11-warum-wir-mehr-fediverse-brauchen#details
Ready für die Wärmepumpe?
Klarheit darüber, wo die moderne Heizmethode gut funktioniert, verschafft ein neuer Online-Gebäudecheck des Umweltbundesamtes. Er ist genauer als andere kostenlose Tools.

Herzlichen Dank, @Nowhereman 🙏
Meine Appelle für #FOSS - Software & das #Fediverse sind jedoch schon viel älter als die aktuelle Eskalation gegenüber @hateaid 🫨🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇸
So sagte ich bereits im Januar 2024 bei der Neujahrsrede in #Salach , nur noch das #Fediversum könne uns vor dem Zusammenbruch medialer Strukturen & damit der #Demokratie bewahren. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/nur-noch-das-fediversum-kann-uns-retten-neujahrsrede-zu-salach/

Do I regret turning down VC money? Not for a second.
VC funding is fast growth paid for by betraying your day-one users and abandoning your principles. That's always the trade.
I'll choose failure over selling out every time.
This community actually matters to me, and I mean that.
If I didn't care about you or the fediverse, I would have sold out long ago.
You deserve better. ❤️
Loops could be the most active fediverse platform by the end of 2026.
TikTok is the world's most popular social app, facing a forced sale to Oracle while US politics poison its algorithm. Millions will be looking for alternatives.
We have few real short-video platforms in the fediverse. This is our moment.
Let's make history together 🚀
Spread this link EVERYWHERE 👇
Loops becoming the 3rd most active fediverse platform after Mastodon and Pixelfed in 2026.
I can see it 🚀
This is our biggest release yet, including more finished tasks than any of our previous ones. Below is a summary of the highlights:
Posts & communities can be labelled as AI-generated and people can choose to hide all posts tagged that way. Very similar to how NSFW works.
Comments can be marked as an Answer, like on StackOverflow.
React to posts and comments with an emoji.
Hide an individual post from yourself, without blocking the author.
PieFed is now in the Yunohost app store, making initial setup easier.
When banned from a remote instance you cannot make local-only posts in their communities.
Honeypot to automatically IP ban badly-behaved crawlers.
https://lemmy-federate.com integration, making PieFed communities get more exposure.
“Share on Mastodon” menu item on posts.
Vastly improve docs for new developers, see https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/developer_docs.
Language selection is more visible during post creation.
Tag clouds can also be viewed as a list of tags.
View post/comment markdown.
Bot accounts are not included in community statistics.
Footnote support in markdown.
Polish translation.
Better HTTP caching, which reduces dependence on Cloudflare.
Passkey fixes.
Polls can now have up to 15 options.
User profile performance improved.
Don’t allow bypassing minimum username length and post title with whitespace.
Polls and Events can no longer be posted into Lemmy communities.
Additional user settings can be set through the api, including Extra Fields.
Fetch url metadata.
Sort comments by controversial.
Comment search now works.
Hashtags.
Events.
Polls.
Emoji reactions on posts and comments.
See https://piefed.social/c/piefed_api for more details.
To upgrade from 1.3.x:
git pull
git checkout v1.4.x
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh
There is a big database migration that will take a few minutes to run. How long will vary depending on how old your instance is - older instances will have more content to process. It took ~25 minutes on piefed.social so expect it to be less than that.
PieFed is free and open-source software while operating without any advertising, monetization, or reliance on venture capital. Your donations are vital in supporting the PieFed development effort, allowing us to expand and enhance PieFed with new features.
(o meme "this is fine"). Porém, não vão ficar sabendo disso.⏳️ Mais um ano se vai e, ao contrário de vários outros sistemas,
, o mais comum na nossa querida Web Social federada, permanece sem deixar publicar Markdown, embora exiba o de terceiros. Neste caso, que considero pior, ainda não ocorre sequer um aviso a quem o utiliza de que houve um #EmojiReact de suas publicações. 🔕
Sim, essa funcionalidade acaba de ser implementada pelo SNAC (merci @vi@downbad.fr 👏), nem foi lançada ainda e já estou me gabando por utilizá-lo! 
Gostei muito de poder reagir assim às publicações, como já era possível em outros como #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Misskey etc. Mas #SNAC, embora, até então, não exibisse EmojiReact junto à publicação correspondente, já gerava notificação de sua ocorrência faz tempo. Achava que no Mastodon isso ficasse sempre como se fosse uma curtida, mas, apenas ao testar isso, notei que não surte qualquer efeito. O mais curioso é que consta uma estrutura de dados que serviria para isso desde Mastodon 3.1.0. Ficamos assim então! 
#SocialWeb #Fediverso #Fediverse #ActivityPub #diversidade #blambers #dev
What I do love about #Mastodon and the greater #Fediverse, by the way, are the personalities. There *is* a culture here.
Other microblogging sites have a sort of algorithmic supremacy going on where you trade personality for a ticket to the internet celebrity lottery. No individualism. You pick your niche from a set deck and you play the FYP slots.
Meanwhile, everyday I run into someone who's like "hey I'm star-cake. I'm a queer carrot farmer. I collect Soviet-era camera lenses." Amazing.
A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?
The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.
- Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.
- Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.
- Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.
- Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.
- Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.
- Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.
- The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.
- Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.
If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.
And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

@loops Can i block this "service" at all?
The #Fediverse is the #service without any #algorithms you have to struggle with!
RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.
@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.
Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate
We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

Fediverse Report 147 - this week's #fediverse news:
Threads is putting their fediverse integration on maintenance mode after it has seen very little use, signalling the end to a tumultuous period for the fediverse. Zuckerberg's belief in decentralised social networking, saying in 2023 that he "has always believed in this stuff", might not be so strong after all

Pro tip: keep a couple of alt accounts on different instances to log into when your main is undergoing maintenance or … technical issues

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 💌
