HELLO EVERYONE ON #fediverse
I am happy to have been invited to farms in schools, as the leader for farms in schools initiative located at Extreme High school,my first time in ruling in an initiative really am here to know if there are some people who have already worked with moving initiatives and leading schools to share tips, ideas and knowledge how to handle students and how to make a great initiative with strong foundation.

🎉 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.

Android war für viele von uns immer mehr als nur ein Smartphone-System – es stand auch für Offenheit, Freiheit und die Möglichkeit, Apps unabhängig vom Google Play Store zu nutzen.
Genau deshalb möchte ich heute auf die Seite hinweisen:
keepandroidopen.org/de
Besonders Projekte wie F-Droid verdienen Unterstützung. Ich nutze F-Droid selbst schon länger und schätze die Möglichkeit, freie und quelloffene Android-Apps unabhängig von großen Konzernen zu beziehen.
Die geplanten Änderungen rund um die verpflichtende Entwickler-Registrierung könnten alternative App-Stores und unabhängige Entwickler massiv unter Druck setzen. Viele Organisationen aus dem Bereich Open Source, Datenschutz und digitale Freiheitsrechte warnen bereits davor.
Wer Android als offenes System erhalten möchte, sollte sich das Thema einmal genauer anschauen.
#Android #FDroid #OpenSource #FOSS #KeepAndroidOpen #DigitaleFreiheit #Fediverse
3 Uhr nachts und ich erkläre mal wieder jemandem, dass das Fediverse kein "Twitter-Klon" ist. 🌙
Stell dir vor, E-Mail wäre nur bei einem Anbieter möglich. Absurd, oder? Genau so absurd ist zentrale Social Media eigentlich.
Beim Fediverse wählst DU deine Instanz, deine Regeln, deine Moderation – und redest trotzdem mit allen. Kein Konzern dazwischen.
Föderation > Plattform. Immer. ✨
Ich wünsche mir mehr Mut im Fediverse.
Mehr Kommentare. Mehr Widerspruch. Mehr Diskussion. Mehr Boosts. Mehr Menschen, die sagen: „Da sehe ich das anders.“ Aber auch mehr Menschen, die sagen: „Guter Punkt.“
Ein Boost ist keine Heirat. Ein Kommentar ist kein Angriff. Und eine Diskussion ist kein Krieg.
Das Fediverse lebt nicht von stillen Timelines. Es lebt von Menschen, die miteinander reden, voneinander lernen und Gedanken weitertragen.
Also traut euch. Schreibt. Fragt. Widersprecht. Ergänzt. Boostet. Das macht uns alle sichtbar.

📷 Kleiner Friendica-Tipp: Warum manche Bilder nicht für alle sichtbar sind
In den letzten Tagen ist mir bei einigen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern aufgefallen, dass hochgeladene Bilder nicht öffentlich angezeigt werden. Oft liegt das gar nicht an einem Fehler, sondern einfach an den eingestellten Berechtigungen.
Friendica bietet sehr flexible Möglichkeiten, Inhalte nur bestimmten Personen oder Gruppen zugänglich zu machen. Das ist eine große Stärke der Plattform. 😊
Wer jedoch möchte, dass ein Bild für alle sichtbar ist, sollte nach dem Hochladen einen kurzen Blick auf die Berechtigungseinstellungen werfen.
🔹 Bild öffnen
🔹 „Bearbeiten“ auswählen
🔹 Auf „Berechtigungen“ klicken
🔹 „Öffentlich“ auswählen
Ist stattdessen „Begrenzt/Privat“ eingestellt, können nur die ausgewählten Kontakte das Bild sehen.
Das beigefügte Bildschirmfoto zeigt die entsprechende Einstellung.
Gerade für neue Friendica-Nutzerinnen und -Nutzer ist dieser kleine Unterschied nicht immer sofort erkennbar. Deshalb dieser Hinweis – vielleicht hilft er dem einen oder anderen weiter. 😊

For about the last 3 weeks, I've had a lot of issues with websites that I commonly visit not loading intermittently and with Google search itself intermittently not loading results until I've tried repeatedly.
I know there have been multiple Chrome updates during this time frame, but I seem to be having the same issue with Microsoft Edge.
My iPad and iPhone work fine (using Safari) and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (I'm using an Xfinity/Comcast XB8 Wireless Gateway).
I've tried clearing Chrome cache, cookies, etc. and flushing the DNS on my laptop (no success).
Any suggestions on what to do to try to resolve this issue?

Major versions are the right moment to fix things properly instead of patching around them. In ActivityPub plugin 9.0.0, unpublishing a federated post sends a real Delete instead of a placeholder text, and federation can be tuned down so it doesn’t overwhelm smaller servers. The ActivityPub API moves closer to the W3C standard, and your blog can now be featured in Starter Kits, if you allow it.
Starter Kits are curated lists of accounts, bundled so that others can discover and follow them in one go. You may know the idea as Starter Packs from Bluesky, and Mastodon is rolling out its own version called Collections with version 4.6. The name varies, the idea is the same: someone who knows a topic well puts together a list of accounts worth following, and shares it.
For blogs, discovery is the hard part of the Fediverse. A blog doesn’t post twenty times a day, so it rarely surfaces in busy timelines on its own. Being part of a Starter Kit changes that: when someone shares a “great photography blogs” kit, every person who opens it sees your blog, and following is one tap away.

One piece was missing, though: other people couldn’t add your WordPress blog to their lists, because your site never told their server who is allowed to do that. ActivityPub 9.0.0 fixes this with the new Default Starter Kit policy setting: Anyone, Followers only, or Just me. The default is “Just me”, so nothing changes unless you say so. If you want the reach, set it to “Anyone” under Settings → ActivityPub → Activities. Under the hood, this announces a canFeature policy on your profile, based on a new Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP-7aa9) that is not published yet; we’ll link it here once it is.
The Mastodon team explains the thinking behind Collections in their design post, and Fedi.Tips has a guide to Mastodon’s Lists feature, the private cousin of Collections. And since ActivityPub 8.1.0 you can import Starter Kits into WordPress under Tools → Import, so it works in both directions.
Photos are heavy. While they load, most Fediverse apps show an empty gray box.
The plugin now generates a BlurHash for every image: a tiny, blurred color preview that other Fediverse apps can show while the real photo loads. Your followers see a soft impression of the picture instead of an empty rectangle. The BlurHash website has a nice interactive demo.
The plugin uses the same blurhash property that Mastodon documents as part of its ActivityPub extensions, so your previews work wherever Mastodon’s do. Everything happens automatically in the background; there’s nothing to configure.
Until now, when you moved a federated post back to draft or made it private, the plugin sent an Update with a placeholder text: “(This post is being modified)”. Your followers kept a copy that claimed the post was being edited, even if it never came back. That was a workaround, and a bad one: it misrepresented your content and left stale placeholders sitting in timelines across the Fediverse.
ActivityPub 9.0.0 replaces the workaround with the behavior the Fediverse expects. When a federated post moves to draft, pending, private, trash, or gets a password, the plugin now sends a Delete to your followers, so their servers remove their copies. Your site keeps a Tombstone in place of the post, as described in FEP-4f05, so it can announce the post again if you re-publish it.
Be aware: even unpublishing a post only temporarily might delete it forever on other servers. When you take a post down on purpose, that’s what you want. But if you plan to come back, know that whether the post comes back with you depends on the receiving server, and the boosts, favorites, and replies on the old copies are gone either way. Discourse and NodeBB restore posts like this; Mastodon currently does not, though there’s an open issue we hope to see land soon. For now, treat unpublishing as deleting, even if you plan to publish again.

That’s why the editor now warns you before you make a federated post a draft, private, or password-protected. The dialog tells you that followers’ copies will be removed, so you know what will happen before you save.
Federation is real work. When you publish a post, the plugin sends it to every follower’s server, and each delivery is a signed HTTP request processed in the background. On a well-provisioned server, no problem. On shared hosting with a few thousand followers, that burst of background work can slow your whole site down, right at the moment your new post brings visitors in.
The new Distribution Mode setting exists so the plugin stays a good guest on the server it runs on. It comes with three presets:
Nothing changes unless you need it to: Default behaves exactly like before. But if your site gets sluggish after publishing, switch to Balanced or Eco Mode under the Advanced tab of the ActivityPub settings. Your followers get the post a few minutes later, and your server keeps breathing. A Custom mode with your own batch size and pause is there for fine-tuning.
The Advanced tab is hidden by default. To enable it, open the ActivityPub settings page, click Screen Options in the top right corner, check Advanced Settings, and save.
Hosting providers can pin a preset across all their sites with the ACTIVITYPUB_DISTRIBUTION_MODE constant, so a whole fleet of sites stays well-behaved without anyone touching a setting.
The ActivityPub API (the plugin’s Client-to-Server implementation) keeps converging on what the W3C SWICG is standardizing. Clients can now request the canonical SWICG scope names like activitypub:read:all and activitypub:write:all, and the OAuth discovery metadata advertises them. Token responses include activitypub_actor_id, following the SWICG ActivityPub API Basic Profile, and rate-limit responses now carry a Retry-After header so clients know how long to wait.
None of this changes anything for existing apps. It just means new apps can connect to your site by following the standard, not our documentation.
Since this is a major version, there’s one heads-up for developers: we removed functions, methods, and the Follower class that were deprecated in versions 7.0 through 7.4. Everything removed has had a documented replacement for over a year, but if your plugin or theme builds on ActivityPub internals, check the changelog before updating.
Beyond the features, 9.0.0 includes a series of security hardening fixes that keep private data private and tighten how the plugin verifies who is allowed to change what. None of them need anything from you beyond updating, which is exactly why you should update soon. The details are in the changelog below.
activitypub:read:all and activitypub:write:all, and the OAuth discovery metadata advertises them.activitypub_actor_id so clients following the SWICG ActivityPub API Basic Profile can discover the authenticated actor.blurhash term to the outbound JSON-LD @context so attachments that include a blurhash property are strictly correct JSON-LD, matching Mastodon’s own context shape.Retry-After header so clients know how long to wait before retrying.@username mention in place of the reply block’s full embed card, which only renders properly when the plugin’s frontend CSS is loaded.Download from WordPress.org or grab it on GitHub.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed code, testing, bug reports, and ideas to this release. Special thanks to .
Update, and let us know what you think: will you open your blog up for Starter Kits? And does the new delete behavior match what you expected your site to do all along?
@rolle It sounds like a great project. It makes sense to have personalized feeds in the #Fediverse.

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.

I'm back on @pixelfed full time and can't wait to ship the new webUI and mobile app redesign.
every page, screen and API endpoint is getting federation, performance and network improvements, and every known bug is getting fixed.
1 million people call
home, and few fediverse platforms can say that.
you deserve the polish Loops got, and now I have the time to deliver it.
stay tuned 🚀
Is there a good way to inform via the ActivityPub NodeInfo that this instance is used for testing and includes actors that only contain test data and actions, or anything along those lines?

This week I spoke to a room full of non-techy NGO people and for the first time there were more folks with #Fediverse than #Threads accounts in the room 🎉
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.
And yes, we sort of have groups here in the fediverse?

Definitely would love to see better support!

We have finally completed our bricks work at the house rebuilding!
So far we have received 280€ out of 450€ on our donation to backfill the house floor and compact it at the same time.
I’m still needing help
please let boost 🙏
Here’s our details.

We bought 5 trucks of gravel 3 already delivered and today the other two is coming so that we can be able to starts backfilling this week.
Thx 😊
periodic reminder to myself of how far this has come.
8 years, almost daily, building open fediverse platforms and tools that belong to everyone.
i said no to 7-figure acquisition offers. i went viral because Meta couldn't ignore it. defining chapters, both.
still chasing a better open social web. still proud of the work.
and you all? you're my inspiration ❤️
A little tool I made to "fediversify" your profile image.

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

This is the panel with #fediverse queen @_elena btw 👸
Also excellent contributions from @bjoernsta , @michael and Sherif Elsayed-Ali. #pubconf2026
#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
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 💌
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.
