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.
“It all just works together” is one of the amazing things about the #Fediverse, and it really ought to be trumpeted more loudly.
I can comment on Lemmy posts, look at cats on Pixelfed, and watch Loops videos, from Mastodon. On the corporate platforms, this level of integration is unheard of.
The arbitrary limits in #Mastodon are a little infuriating.
And I really want to like Mastodon. It was my first experience on the #fediverse, and I actually like the UI/UX, for the most part.
Not to let the cat out of the bag prematurely, but...

"New things feel complicated until someone explains them plainly.
Here is the fediverse, minus the jargon."
The fediverse isn't complicated. We just need to make it easier to understand.

🐧 Als plötzlich Schluss war...
Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich wieder einmal OpenOS.at – eine Webseite, die ich seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern genutzt habe. Statt der gewohnten Startseite erschien jedoch nur noch ein kurzer Hinweis:
„Diese Webpräsenz wurde am 26. Juni 2026 (nach 12 Jahren Betrieb) eingestellt.“
Damit endet nach zwölf Jahren ein Projekt, das für viele Linux- und BSD-Interessierte eine feste Anlaufstelle war.
Das erste Bild zeigt die frühere Startseite von OpenOS.at – mit aktuellen Distributionen, Nachrichten, Statistiken und Veranstaltungen aus der Welt freier Betriebssysteme. Das zweite Bild zeigt, was heute davon übrig geblieben ist.
Warum OpenOS eingestellt wurde, wissen wir bisher nicht. Vielleicht gibt es persönliche Gründe, vielleicht fehlte die Zeit oder Unterstützung. Vielleicht fand sich einfach niemand, der das Projekt weiterführen wollte. Solange es keine offizielle Erklärung gibt, sollten wir darüber nicht spekulieren.
Mich bringt das jedoch zum Nachdenken.
Viele von uns nutzen täglich freie Software, Webseiten, Foren oder Dienste. Wir freuen uns über aktuelle Informationen, hilfreiche Programme und funktionierende Server – oft ganz selbstverständlich und kostenlos.
Doch hinter all dem stehen Menschen.
Menschen, die ihre Freizeit investieren. Menschen, die Server betreiben, Inhalte pflegen, Fehler beheben, Updates einspielen und Fragen beantworten. Oft über viele Jahre hinweg und meist ehrenamtlich.
Gerade Projekte, die von einer einzelnen Person oder einem kleinen Team getragen werden, leisten Erstaunliches. Gleichzeitig sind sie aber auch besonders verletzlich. Wenn die Motivation nachlässt, das Privatleben mehr Zeit fordert oder gesundheitliche Gründe dazukommen, kann selbst ein langjähriges Projekt plötzlich enden.
Vielleicht erinnert uns das Ende von OpenOS daran, dass Open Source und freie Communities vom Mitmachen leben.
Nicht nur nutzen.
Nicht nur konsumieren.
Sondern auch einmal Danke sagen, Fehler melden, Dokumentationen schreiben, anderen helfen, einen kleinen Betrag spenden oder selbst mit anpacken.
Denn genau davon lebt unsere Gemeinschaft.
Ich möchte mich deshalb heute bei allen bedanken, die im Hintergrund dafür sorgen, dass freie Projekte überhaupt existieren – egal ob Entwickler, Administratoren, Übersetzer, Autoren oder Community-Mitglieder.
Ihr macht das Internet ein Stück besser. ❤️

Hey folx 🫶
It is our sad duty to announce that we -- both server admin ( @SleepyCatten and @jen ) and **the** Shiv ( @DarkEden ) -- have made the joint decision to shut down the Cult of Shiv Mastodon server by the end of October 2026, before our next scheduled domain name renewal 😔
We gave our users advance notice of this in mid May, and recently gave them a local-only guide on:
* how to back up their accounts (posts, media, other account settings);
* how to migrate to other instances (if desired); and
* how to find other servers to migrate to, along with some recommended ones.
We know that this may seem like it's out of the blue, but in actuality it's been a long-time coming. Initial thoughts over the future of the server began last year, and it took many months for us to agree on what actions to take.
Whilst cost was part of the equation, please note that this was **not** primarily a financial decision. Instead, it was rather due to a mixture of factors, including (but not limited to):
* Both admin not having enough time, energy, and/or spoons to dedicate to the server;
* Most of our users having become inactive;
* Shiv no longer using Mastodon.
Thank you for federating with us and thank you to Fedi.Monster for hosting us 🫶

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Laut Grundgesetz ist der von uns gewählte Bundestag für die Gesetzgebung zuständig (Legislative).
Doch seit dem ersten Koalitionsvertrag & Koalitionsausschuss von 1961 wurde unser Parlament immer weiter geschwächt & gedemütigt.
Derzeit warten (!) Hunderte MdB auf Anweisungen (!!) der Regierung (Exekutive), weil sich Umwelt- und Wirtschaftsministerium nicht über Gesetzesformulierungen einigen können. Das Erneuerbare Energien-Gesetz (EEG) könnte sogar zum Jahresende auslaufen, weil sich der Bundestag nicht mehr zutraut, selbstständig Gesetze zu erarbeiten und zu beschließen!
De jure leben wir noch in einer parlamentarischen Demokratie, faktisch aber in einem von fossilen Konzernen & Konzernmedien dominierten Parteienstaat, in dem die Exekutive auch den Bundestag steuert… 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺🔥
Ich finde ja, das sollten alle wissen.
#Grundgesetz #Bundestag #Legislative #EEG #Erneuerbare #Friedensenergien #Politik #Medien #Solarpunk #Fediverse
Ganz aktuell blockieren sich das SPD- geführte Umweltministerium & das CDU-geführte Wirtschaftsministerium im Streit um die weitere Förderung von Solarenergie & Netzausbau.
Ein funktionierendes Parlament würde sagen: Kein Problem, wir sind ja die Legislative. Also erarbeiten die Fachleute der Regierungsfraktionen im direkten Dialog & öffentlicher Beratung die Gesetze!
Aber der deutsche Bundestag hat seine Gesetzgebungsaufgabe längst aufgegeben & wartet (!) seit Monaten auf Anweisungen der Regierung (!!). Ministerin Reiche kann sogar damit drohen, dass das EEG dann eben auslaufe - denn der Bundestag wird von selbst nicht mehr tätig!
Als begeisterten Anhänger der parlamentarischen Demokratie unseres Grundgesetzes schmerzt mich diese Farce. Und dann verstehe ich auch die wachsende Wut der Wählerinnen & Wähler, die über 600 Abgeordnete in die Legislative gewählt & hilflose Parteisoldaten bekommen haben…

Got a question for you #Mastodon - what is the ethics of creating an account here for a #podcast I really like? I've had a crazy thought of creating an account for the "In Our Time" podcast on #BBC. I enjoy it every week and thought it would be an interesting way of adding some interesting material to the #Fediverse.
I've had the idea since the BBC's experiment here in the Fediverse. I am convinced that it would have been more successful if they had created accounts for select programs and journalists, not the stations (which are too broad for a platform that encourages niches).
Good idea? Bad idea? Couldn't care less?
Does one get permission, even if I plaster the account with "JUST A FAN ACCOUNT" or "NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE BBC"?

Today, I decided to back @gotosocial with a monthly donation of 10,00€.
The #GoToSocial project is free and open source Fediverse software providing a social media microblogging system that you can host yourself (or join an existing instance of) – very similar to how #Mastodon works, the software this instance is running.
In years of hosting my own personal GoToSocial instance, I have come to love the project and never once run into an issue, even during setup, when upgrading to new versions or when performing database migrations. The team is lively, clearly passionate, responsive and amazingly friendly, and their direction has turned GoToSocial into what is in my opinion the best Fediverse server software out there at the moment.
Supporting the project with a (recurring or one-off) donation provides their two main developers the means to live and continue developing the software independently and for free – by enabling them to pay themselves a very, very modest wage of just 1.000€ a month, according to their donation drive. You'd support the health of the entire #Fediverse, software sovereignty and not least a queer-led, progressive collaborative software project that makes the internet a better place. I encourage anyone and everyone to consider their support if they can afford to do so! :)
Not affiliated with the team, just a supporter. :)

This week, we map the visual layer of the fediverse with current numbers (June 2026): Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube, and ... Flickr?
Pixelfed: ~100K MAU across 700 servers. @dansup has been building it for eight years, mostly alone, turning down VC offers and funding it through a Kickstarter that raised CA$138K for a nonprofit foundation.
Loops: federated short-form video, also by dansup. mid-4,000s MAU, 26 servers. opt-in algorithmic feed (the default is chronological), trust-score moderation, no AI training on user content.
PeerTube: 47K MAU across 1,500+ servers. Framasoft (French nonprofit). the most infrastructure-heavy platform on the fediverse.
The visual web is the most expensive layer of the internet to decentralize. None of this was built on venture-scale economics.

Every now and then I see people getting really upset when features change, break, or are missing.
Let this be your occasional reminder that the fediverse is run by regular people like you and me, who are doing their best with very limited resources.
I get being frustrated, but use that energy to file a bug report, maybe even offer help, if you have the skills. Or donate, if you can afford it.
We make the fediverse better by working together.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of running a fediverse server for the past four years, from @gfsc.
"Rather than getting mad at Bluesky for taking over the debate, the fediverse needs to look at itself and ask who it’s including, who it’s excluding, and how it can actually become a transformative social network, rather than a technological toy for computer programmers."

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with 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 💌
