Right now, I could really use a little patience and understanding.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who continues to support me and stand by me. 🤍
Please keep me in your thoughts.

Another very different part of the #fediverse that you can follow from #Mastodon is #flipboard. However, you can't follow topics/hashtags, only accounts, so if you really want to see EVERYTHING that the #AssociatedPress / #AP puts out, for example, you can follow @AssociatedPress, but that might be a bit much if you're just interested in something like #USpolitics / #USpol.

Are you looking for #news or #articles by official accounts on #Mastodon or in the #Fediverse? Then search no more 😎

Take a look at this always up-to-date table with more than 1,1k accounts:
➡️ https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html

There is a powerful filter and a pretty quick search. You can export all visible accounts into one file, that you can easily import and batch follow.

Feel free to share it wide!

Frage an das #Fediverse: Ich habe heute von #Parkdepot eine Zahlungsaufforderung erhalten, dass ich mein gebührenpflichtiges Parken in einem Parkhaus am 11.1. zu zahlen habe. Natürlich mit Bearbeitungsgebühren.
Natürlich habe ich in dem angegebenem Parkhaus bei dem angegebenen Datum und Uhrzeit geparkt.
Allerdings habe ich auch die gut 5,5h Parkzeit vor Verlassen des Parkhauses bezahlt. Wie wäre ich denn sonst aus dem Parkhaus gekommen? Nachweislich hat sich die Schranke beim Verlassen geöffnet, ohne dass ich diese wie James Bond mit Vollgas durchbrechen musste. 😂

Sagt mal, ist hier im Fediverse zufällig diese Berliner Firma "Parkdepot" bekannt?

Heads up, Fediverse

Heya, fedi folks... Just wanted to give you a heads up as I'm making a few changes around here that I'd like you to be aware of. I'll try to keep it short and sweet so I don't cramp your style.

No more public services hosted via my personal domain

I've given it some thought, and due to potential privacy concerns, I will no longer be hosting any services using my personal domain. I own a domain that uses the .us TLD, and I'm quite uncomfortable at this point sending folks on the fediverse that way for anything as I'd like to help protect your privacy as well as improve my own. What this means is I am pretty much letting the domain go dormant until the registration expires at the beginning of next year.

New Matrix and XMPP accounts

Okay, so I had abandoned Matrix to try XMPP, but I'd rather not have to use my personal domain for the reasons mentioned above. After some thought, I figured I'd bring back the Matrix account and set up a new XMPP account somewhere outside of US jurisdiction. I've now got both set up, and hosted via Tchncs.de and you will find links to both tucked away in my profile. Feel free to reach out if you would like to have a chat... I'm also on Signal and Threema as well, but for that info, you will need to send me a direct message to get the details.

#fediverse please help. I have run out of long space-opera scifi series to read. I am judgemental, picky about good editing, and demand substance. I've read all of Niven and Pournelle, all of Old Man's War, I'm almost up to date on spinward fringe. I could not get in to Alliance-Union. The Culture was a bit too ethereal. Starfire was fantastic. My preference is for hard or semi hard (hyuk hyuk) fiction, preferably a little militaristic.

#bookreco is apparently a suggested tag, hmm

Einen wundervollen Dienstag Euch allen. #Hund Jimmy und Mensch Basti schicken liebste Grüße aus dem #Remstal ins #Fediverse. Ich hoffe es geht Euch gut.🌻

The redesigned profile fields are now on mastodon.social.

I wasn't too sure when I first saw the mockups, but I'm starting to like this.

Alt...

A screenshot of a Mastodon profile with the usual elements, including profile image, header image, description, etc. The profile fields which include links to various websites and were previously shown in a table layout with each field on a new line, are now displayed as sort of mini cards, two next to each other on one line and a "+2" card that would, upon clicking, show all profile fields shown in a table layout (not visible in the screenshot).

Nachdem Bluesky aufgrund ihrer Policy sich nicht in der Lage fühlt, das ICE zu bannen, und @_elena bereits auf die Problematik hingewiesen hat, dass Blocks öffentlich, also auch für ICE und Co zugänglich sind, möchte ich noch kurz die Problematik vertiefen.

Das AT Proto System ist so konzipiert, dass die eigenen Daten nicht zentral bei einem Anbieter liegen, sondern auf einem PDS. Den kann man durch einen Anbieter verwalten lassen, man kann aber auch einen eigenen PDS für sich selbst auf seinem eigenen Server hosten. Mit meinen Daten kann ich problemlos umziehen.

Da diese Daten allerdings für alle Programmierer zugänglich sein sollen, die auch eifrig Apps dafür schreiben, entsteht ein Problem, auf das ich bereits vor einigen Monaten bei Bluesky hingewiesen hatte. Die Apps schreiben alle Daten in den PDS und können ihn auslesen.

D.h. es gibt eine offene Datenkonzentration. Es besteht für jeden geblockten Account die Möglichkeit, über ein Tool (und die sind ganz offen verfügbar) Deinen kompletten PDS anzusehen. D.h. alle Daten, die von allen Anwendungen gespeichert wurden. Das bedeutet, jemand den Du blockst, kann alle Deine Bluesky oder Blacksky Einträge sehen, Deine LongForm Blogs, Deine Likes, Deine Büchersammlungen, Deine Follower, Deine Listen, die Orte, die Du besucht hast (wenn Du eine Foursquare ähnliche App benutzt, die Standort Daten speichert, werden auch Deine Geodaten mit Uhrzeit gespeichert), Deine Lieblingsmusik, die Veranstaltungen, die Du besucht hast, Deine Bookmarks, kurzum alles, was Du im AT Proto System an Daten speicherst.

Dein PDS bietet, weil er eben alles speichert und grundsätzlich offen ist, eine Datenkonzentration. Das ist der Preis der Unabhängigkeit von einzelner Unternehmen.

Das "personal data issue" ist bei Bluesky seit längerem ein Thema. Man sollte es aber insbesondere im Blick auf die aktuelle Problematik stärker in den Blick nehmen.

#Bluesky #Fediverse

Ich habe X trotz 22.000 Followern verlassen.

@aphandersen mastodon.social er ganske rigtigt ikke amerikansk, men dens størrelse i forhold til andre #fediverse instanser gør den til #gigant.
Jeg blokerede den for nogle måneder siden, fordi der var en uforholdsmæssig stor forekomst af #antisemitisme i toots fra dens brugere. Deraf ikke stueren. I hvert fald ikke i min stue.

Hey, just wondering, does your #ActivityPub / #Fediverse / Mastodon & friends client display rich HTML / #Markdown posts or do you see plain text (with emoji and attachements)?

If you don’t know but don’t see an italic sentence here, then the answer is no ;-)

Boost ok.

So it's the end of my 2nd week on #Mastodon and I'm still having a blast. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome in this strange new #fediverse

I've encountered a lot of very groovy people here. Some of them don't like mushy peas - but I'm trying not to hold it against them. I hope to meet more groovy people in the future

At the end of my first week, I shared a picture one of my #cats sleeping. So this time, here's a picture of my other #cat sleeping, so that they know I love them equally

Alt...

My current #MastodonDotSocial follow request accept/reject rules make me feel a little bad, because I know there are some awesome people there, but whoever is running it (or maybe just whoever manages the app) seems to be doing some shady shit that is not good for the #fediverse. I am surprised to see I have become pretty picky. My current rules seem to be that I'll follow or allow a follow from mastodon.social accounts if

• We seem to have some shared interests
• The account has an avatar
• The account has at least a couple dozen posts
• A bunch of them are written, not just boosts

IDK, maybe this is a good approach and maybe not. But it's what I'm doing right now.

Hey there #Fediverse! It’s been a little while since my last update.

I’ve been heads-down on my #DITS issue tracker application, working hard to get the web client finished and #TestReady by the end of January. As a #SoloDev, taking on an ambitious project like this is definitely a challenge, but I'm making progress!

Is anyone else here #BuildingInPublic or developing software solo? I’d love to hear what your experience has been like!

On the #HomeLab side, I’m planning a major #Jellyfin overhaul. I’m moving from a #Debian-based HP Elitedesk 800 SFF (i7-7700) with a DAS to an HP Prodesk 600 mini (i7-8700t). The new setup will run in #Docker with all media stored on my #NAS.

With that i7-8700t, I’m looking forward to better #IntelQuickSync performance for transcoding. What are your thoughts on this hardware move?

You can make your posts more accessible and inclusive by putting hashtags at the end.

When you place hashtags after the main text of a post, screen‑reader users can hear the core message first without interruption. This simple adjustment ensures that blind and visually‑impaired persons receive the essential information clearly and promptly.

Beyond accessibility, this small practice reflects a genuine commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

It's always good to think how the digital content is experienced by everyone, so we can create a more welcoming and inclusive digital space.

As inclusion is an important aspect of communication and communities, let's remember about it. Small thing to do, but improves experience of so many people.

A year ago, I published my opinion on why Europe needs to have its own social media platforms and build strong digital ecosystem.

With recent issues such as Trump's demands to annex Greenland, X's growing role in disinformation campaigns and targeting Europeans with shadow bans, it is necessary to remind that the European Union, without its own social media platforms and the whole digital ecosystem, cannot be fully sovereign.

For Europe, it is not too late to build its own digital ecosystem, spanning from social media networks to AI, storage and productivity software. In fact, it is something that has to be done and there are many European companies, NGOs and communities working to make it happen.

Year after, my strong recommendation for every European organization, company and public institution is to embrace European-made solutions. If we take a look at solutions made in Europe, we can see that Europeans are leading the world in terms of building federated networks, secure, encrypted and privacy-oriented solutions for consumers, businesses and governments.

Europe don't need to build it from scratch as there are solutions developed here, in Europe. What Europe needs is to embrace them at all levels: from governments to households. https://mediascope.group/europe-needs-its-own-social-media-platforms-to-safeguard-sovereignty/

Following people here isn't the same as on other social media platforms. It's not the hype "the more followers, the higher the popularity". Nope, mastodon is different.

Following, over here, and "liking", too, is about to be serious interested, to show serious affection, and to take care.

That's what I've learned in a few days.

And I love it.

Maybe there are exceptions, but I haven't found any.*👇

I went for a #latex kind of feel... I've not worn it much in stream for absolutely ages so I thought now was the time to restart.

My stream isn't adult content or anything like that (although I may occasionally say the odd potty mouth word) but I do love me a bit of shiny latex!

Next stream is (hopefully) this Tuesday 20th January at 7pm when we'll continue into the Ashlands in #Valheim.

I haven’t had to block and suspend “Nicole: But you can call me the #fediverse chick” in what seems like ages. Has anyone checked in on the bot farm that was spinning up those sockpuppet accounts to see if they’re doing okay?

Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:

Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:

"What is an instance, anyways?"

What is your go-to answer?

The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?

What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?

Überlege im #Fediverse hauptsächlich auf #Friendica zu wechseln.
Die Steurerung der Sichtbarkeit über Accountkreise gefällt mir gut. So können verschiedene Posts verschiedenen Personengruppen sichtbar sein. Es ist auch sowohl von #Pixelfed als auch von #Mastodon gut folgbar.

Spricht da wohl was gegen, was mir gerade nicht auffällt?

Anyone self-host PeerTube?

I love YouTube, and by that I mean watching it; I would never upload there, especially now, with all of their silly censorship of things that don't even need censoring.

I feel like I need a PeerTube instance.

Moin und hallo in die Runde. Die Haje haben jetzt lange genug gestubst ich soll mich hier mal melden. Ich bin neu im #fediverse und neugierig, wie das hier ist. #neuhier

Questions for the community, first a little background...

I left #WordPress for reasons familiar to many of you.

I wrote my own #blogging #software based on static web pages.

I wanted to at least highlight/point to content on #Mastodon I find compelling, important, or just beautiful.

I have a corner of my main #blog page carved out for this purpose.

I populate it with the full Masto handle of the author, the first image from the post (if it has one), and the first few 100 characters of the text.

Images are full links back to the original sources. I do not retain them on my server.

This entire summary (approx 320x640 pixels) is one big button that leads back to the specific posting on the specific server.

I avoid "private" posts, DMs, etc. and try to keep the politics light.

👉 I do not wish to exploit anyone's ideas or work, just amplify them.👈

Now my questions...

Is this an okay thing to do?

Is there a better way to do it?

Thank You #Fediverse !

Hatte neulich erst ein Gespräch mit einer echten, angehenden #Bardin aus #UK & liebe die Charakterklasse in #Fantasy - Settings wie #Aventurien & #Faerun. Die Begeisterung für das Computerspiel #BardsTale hat mich geprägt.

Aus meiner Sicht sind Bardinnen & #Barden lebende, professionelle #Medien , die über #Musik , Unterhaltung & #Mythen v.a. positive #Mimesis verbreiten. Sie sind #Fediverse , nicht nur #Herolde der Herrschenden! 😌🪕📚🙏🎶

Terminal Tilt is exactly 58 subscribers away from the 1K milestone and monetization.

In case you are new to my channel, welcome! As a disabled queer creator, I know how often our voices are drowned out by corporate "ai" sludge. Terminal Tilt is a space where I can speak authentically, fight for digital sovereignty, and show that there is a place for us in the technical world.

I started it because I like to watch YouTube and I often search for Linux videos. I find it infuriating that 90% of the videos have "ai" generated voices, graphics, and scripts. I want to learn new things, not have unoriginal ideas regurgitated to me by bots. Terminal Tilt is a strictly Non-AI channel focused on ethical computing, promoting #FOSS, and providing a direct alternative to the Big Tech surveillance machine. I respect your time and your sovereignty. Lets build a community together!

If you believe in a web where the user is in control and their privacy respected, and our technology does not have to destroy the planet, help me cross the finish line today.

I have some great stuff in the pipeline, such as reviews for security hardware, quick looks and installations of GNU/Linux distributions , and discussions on the state of computing.

I am also improving quickly. Every video has been a learning experience and I am very open to constructive criticism.

My newest video from earlier today: 5 Extensions for Real Digital Independence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9FjlZMJBQ

My most popular video (90k+ views): The Windows Exodus Has Begun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLzdTgCXyRU

I also post videos to PeerTube here: https://gnulinux.tube/c/terminaltilt/videos

Every boost helps us show that independent, human created tech content has a place in 2026.

All das, was das #Fediverse aus- und so stark macht, das erlebe ich gerade wieder in den letzten Stunden.

Euer Feedback zu meiner #Peertube Instanz https://pallenberg.video ist sowas von Gold wert und zeigt einmal mehr, warum es so wichtig war Schritt fuer Schritt alles ins Fediverse zu ziehen.

Twitter? Geloescht!
Insta? Geloescht!
Threads? Geloescht!
Facebook? Geloescht!
Substack? Zu Ghost gewechselt!
Bluesky? Wird nicht mehr bespielt!

Ich ziehe es durch & es gibt da kein Zurueck.

He, #Fediverse,

Woher bezieht ihr #DRM-freie #Hörbücher (für Kids)?

Das Fediverse hat und wird in Zukunft einen zunehmend größeren Einfluss im Social Media Bereich haben.
Aus dem Grund, habe ich mich Entschlossen insbesondere für die Mitbürger*innen unserer kleinen Kreisstadt Rotenburg (Wümme) und dem Landkreis eben einen solchen Zugang zu ermöglichen.

Für wenn wäre row-social.de etwas?

- allen Interessierten Bürgern des Landreises Rotenburg (Wümme) die in Kontakt kommen oder bleiben wollen

- lokalen Vereinen

- Veranstaltern die über kommende Events informieren wollen

- lokalen Unternehmen die sich präsentieren und repräsentieren wollen

- Behörden und lokalen Parteien die Kontakt zu Ihren Bürgern suchen

Einladungscodes auf Anfrage und teilt doch bitte diesen Beitrag!

Vielen Dank

It would be so cool if I could use my current Mastodon instance "identity" to join other Mastodon instances.

Why?

Well, my thinking is this. Some instances, like infosec.exchange is "more" aiming for a community around Information Security.

But as a person I'm not just one thing, I'm many things.

Currently I'm more or less forced to either make my home in one place, or create multiple accounts.

But if instances instead were considered communities I could say "Oh... I would like to join this and that community", but still have my "home" somewhere.

Perhaps the solution is not necessarily to make Instances communities but rather extend ActivityPub with some sort of "community" based actor or something.

Let's say there is a Community around Photography in Sweden that I would like to join.

How do I do that today? I don't really see a way for me to integrate "naturally" with that community.

Have other people thought about this? What's your thoughts concerning Community groups, or circles etc?

Als meistens sehr spontaner Mensch habe ich für mich den digitalen Unabhängigkeitstag "Februar 2026" auf heute vorverlegt und mein Bluesky-Konto gelöscht.
In Sachen Social Media bin ich jetzt nur noch im Fediverse aktiv.

Heute ist ein wichtiger Tag für meine persönliche, digitale Unabhängigkeit: Endlich komplett auf die eigene Instanz gezogen, und den Bluesky Account gelöscht (den ich eigentlich nur noch hatte, weil ich neugierig auf Eurosky war).

Vor 3 Tagen habe ich ein kleines Video zu diesem Fiebertraum gemacht und mal ein paar Statements des Chefs ausgebuddelt.

Das schoene dabei ist, dass ihr das nun auch im #Fediverse dank meiner eigenen #Peertube Instanz schauen koennt und das fuehlt sich richtig gut an.

Wie immer wuerde ich mich ueber einen Boost/Like/Feedbackloop freuen. Danke 🙏

https://pallenberg.video/w/oqw1ofxXAcQvqH2eWMBsGC

Da ist es geschafft, meine Videos kommen nun auch im #Fediverse an und werden via @sascha@pallenberg.video ausgespielt.

Tausend Dank an @bonndigital und vor allen Dingen natuerlich @Sascha@bonn.social und https://taenzer.de denn da wird die #Peertube Instanz gehostet.

Meine Fediverse-Reise geht also weiter & wie versprochen, werden Schritt fuer Schritt all meine Inhalte ins freie Netz ziehen.

Und wisst ihr was? Das ist ein verdammt gutes Gefuehl!

Wir begrüßen @berlinwerbefrei ganz herzlich auch im #Fediverse. 🤩

Die Unterschriftensammlung in #Berlin ist eröffnet. Das wird was!

@Bubbles

Vielen Dank, aber wir sind dank #Wissenschaft auch ganz & gar nicht „hilflos“. Jede Kauf - Entscheidung etwa für erneuerbare #Friedensenergien, #Technologie & #Software , auch für #Pflanzenkost & #Bildung reduziert die #Macht des #Fossilismus. 🔥🤔

Wir sind z.B. 2013 auf #Wärmepumpe umgestiegen, 2017 auf #Elektroauto , ins #Fediverse usw. Und es macht sowohl #Sinn wie #Freude ! 🌞🙌

@jwildeboer there is a fundamental divide here. The rest of the world is pushing things into each other's faces and rewarding those who can push to the largest audience. Meanwhile in the #fediverse you just engage in communication with people. It's a mutual exchange. It seems more in line with having a real exchange with someone in front of you. Bonus points for the lack of Messias complex.

#Pixelfed could have been great if you had focused on it.

Maybe I'll try again in a few years when Pixelfed is out of alpha status.

Introduction

As far as I know, the software used by Fediverse, a decentralized social networking site, makes information public due to its decentralized nature, and as a result, it’s often possible to obtain feeds of the latest information via RSS.

However, the extent to which this is possible varies depending on the software’s capabilities and features, and I was interested in the functionality of each piece of software, so I decided to write this article to research and summarize the state of RSS on Fediverse, including its URL structure.

This article is based on a pioneering article titled “Finding Fediverse Feeds” that appeared on the website Hyperborea: Kelson Vibber.

Stream RSS feeds to Your Fediverse Feeds

A well-known method of distributing RSS feeds from the web to ActivityPub is software (server) called RSSParrot, which was created for that purpose.

In addition, in the Japanese-speaking world, there is a public Mastodon instance called the RSSフィードbot鯖, which is dedicated to RSS Bots and is also widely used.

Although the signup form was a bit brittle, I managed to create an account. 🎉

For now, I don't plan to use it much, but who knows? It may be useful as a fallback in case my primary account @tynstar@nerdculture.de goes down.

Also, the concept of having a Fediverse server on my own phone sounds really exciting. Let's see how that works out!

I have a question for you.

Who is your personal mortal enemy?

Hi larger #fediverse community. I joined from the forkiverse thing and I'm seeing some posts critical of the new influx of participants. Perhaps you're worried we don't really get you or value the community so I wanted to give a little background you may not know. Before this “experiment” episode there was a much older episode that started things.

1/3

Seeing the profiles of others around the world is something one is less likely to experience on social media platforms other than Mastodon or the Fediverse. I wish that I could personally meet everyone here and engage with them, over tea or coffee, in conversations to cover the universe of discovered and undiscovered knowledge and perspectives. I know it is an impossible dream, but I still wish for it.

I've been wondering about Bluesky's decentralization again. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to self-host Bluesky in its current form. I cannot 100% self host "my own Bluesky".

Their main selling points for building their own protocol were easier migration and better discoverability, but right now there's no simple way to migrate my Bluesky account to my own instance. And hosting the centralized parts yourself isn't really possible, or if it were, not affordable, they haven't made that feasible, by design, it seems.

Even if you self-host a PDS, Bluesky's Relay only indexes up to 10 accounts from it. You can run more, but they won't federate, the central infrastructure decides what gets seen. They control this (source: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation#:~:text=For%20a%20smooth%20transition%20into,for%20everyone%20in%20the%20ecosystem.). You can self-host a PDS (Personal Data Server), but you still depend on Bluesky's centralized Relay and AppView. There's no production-ready alternative infrastructure from what I gather.

It feels like I'd be renting a room in a hotel that someone else is running anyway, when I want my own hotel.

If Mastodon gGmbH vanishes tomorrow, my instance keeps running and federating with everyone else. If Bluesky PBC vanishes, the ecosystem would need to scramble to stand up replacement infrastructure that doesn't really exist yet.

ATProto keeps getting evaluated on its promises while other systems get evaluated on their merits. The "portability" selling point depends on infrastructure that isn't mature enough to actually catch you if Bluesky falls.

I trust W3C, the builders and fathers of the World Wide Web, ActivityPub and the Fediverse.

RE: https://theforkiverse.com/@sonic_owns/115874413000918185

only the newest wire in the hairball that is the #fediverse

But if I switch, I want to keep the cool address like @SOMEONE@uninformation.org and not change to something like @SOMEONE@nano.uninformation.org. Adventurous!

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@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful

• @grunfink@comam.es - 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@social.growyourown.services - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

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

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

While I think it's good that more mainstream publications do more on the #fediverse the Search Engine/Hard Fork episode on the #forkiverse is a bit ... well it could have done with a bit more research. And "oh look how yanky it all is but we didn't read the manual to run this service but has an LLM Agent just do something" is cringe at best: You're not reading the manual but you want to run a platform for a few thousand people? That's not cute but shows a lack of care and willingness to take responsibility.

If you mention a group account (lemmy, piefed, guppy, etc.) in your post, fediverse clients should either remove options other than public for visibility of the post (unlisted, direct, followers only), or at least warn the user that their post's audience may not match their expectations.

Interesting read on decentralization of threat intelligence sharing! Random thought... I can't help but wonder if the Fediverse might have some future role to play here.

I've had requests for accounts to follow on here for specific countries/regions. There are many listed at:

This has accounts from most European countries, all US states, all Canadian provinces etc. (Some have fewer accounts than others though.)

To follow an account listed on the site, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click follow.

A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @rileytestut@mastodon.social. On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.

"...have started a new Fediverse service called The Forkiverse (that's "Fork" + "Fediverse")."

A new Fediverse "service"?

It's a Mastodon instance, currently running the current version, v4.5.4

I just discovered that @palaisdetokyo joined the fediverse at the end of last year with little fan fare. I see they still haven't added a social link to the bottom of their website either but they did verify their URL here which is more then many institutions.

I added their account to @wikidata so maybe they will now automatically show up now on various #fediverse account viewing websites that source from there.

I ❤️ the fediverse

A few of my contributions:
- Started GNU/Social AP support
- Started Pixelfed
- Inspired gargron to write the "How to implement a basic ActivityPub server"
- Tried to organize the first ActivityPub Conference (https://mastodon.social/@dansup/100286631732546033)
- Started the SocialHub forum (originally socialhub.network)
- Started https://fedidb.org
- Started https://fediverse.info

5 years on, I still feel so lucky to be a part of this.

Long live the #fediverse

Also, shout out to the notable mentions that made waves across the #fediverse in 2025 🚀

https://fedidb.com/year-in-review/2025#notable-mentions

Welcome, everyone joining the #forkiverse!

The #fediverse is like any social media in that the "algorithm" gets better the more you "train" it. And by "algorithm" I mean cool people & hashtags you can follow (yes, you can follow hashtags, it's awesome!), and by "train" it I mean boost any post you enjoy.

The more you boost and others boost, the more good stuff bubbles to the top and even goes viral. (Yes, stuff on Mastodon etc. can go viral! It's possible!)

Most importantly: HAVE FUN!! 😊🎉
