@staff mastodon.social is easily perceived by many newcomers as a central, general-purpose entry point into Mastodon and the wider Fediverse.

That gives it a particular responsibility.

General-purpose public instances should not normalize unexpected exposure to explicit adult content, regardless of orientation.

Content warnings, sensitive-media blurring, and hashtags are not sufficient containment for pornography on a large general-purpose instance.

The new fediverse.info is built around consent.

To be included in the People Directory, you will need to add the #fedi22 hashtag to your bio.

To add a Starter Kit or Collection, it needs to have `discoverable` === true.

We do not crawl or store personal data like statuses/followers/following, and will make it easy for admins to block access as we use a constant user agent and will check robots.txt

✨

Last minute feature addition, the new fediverse.info People Directory will allow you to find people via multiple topics (up to 5)!

One more thing, I added query parameter support, so you can share links to specific topics or multiple topics 😎

It can be hard to understand how hashtags spread around the #fediverse, so I built a little tool to help you explore how visible hashtags are on different servers. The page also contains tips for how you can follow hashtags more effectively and help your own tagged posts get spread more broadly.

Gentle reminder to add alt-text to your images and screenshots if you want your content to be accessible AND multiply your engagement with much more people reposting your posts.

Adding alt-text is a win-win-win situation, really. It helps everyone 💚

RE: loma.ml/objects/373ebf56-186a-…

I will make things clearer. #HolosSocial has no web version. It can display profiles with some messages (during the TTL for public messages). The server runs on your device, and https://holos.social is just a relay that remains account-agnostic, so your account has little dependency on it.
This is very important to understand before using Holos Social. It is very different from what you currently use on the #Fediverse.

Warm up the fire! We're LIVE!

Romanian is one of the Romance languages i haven’t studied that have always been difficult to decipher due to its Cyrillic-esque orthography.

am learning to read it with #Mastodon’s translation feature.

humans #network thru #languages. if you want to grow the #fediverse, you must make it easy to translate what dazzles yet cannot be easily read.

yet another reason to love @Gargron’s vision of what the platform could be and the elegantly forward thinking work of the @MastodonEngineering team.

The hardest part of the #fediverse isn't federation. It's onboarding.

Most people don't want to pick a server before they understand why they're there.

Every time someone asks, "Which Mastodon server should I join?" we've already lost a good chunk of them.

Infrastructure shouldn't be the first user decision.

RE: https://toot.cat/@hoshianna/116854587760730682

I have heard enough... neondystopia.world needs to be suspended and blocked from appeals because it is disgusting from what I have seen. I don't wanna talk about it here. Don't even listen to their admins. They will try to take advantage of you

they took advantage of me because I am younger than them and don't understand "how the fediverse works." I was right from the beginning when I made that report on #fediblock that day.

I deserve all the hate messages I got from other admins

RE: https://hackers.pub/@fedify/2026/why-activitypub-is-hard

This is a really great, technical overview of how the fediverse works behind the scenes. And really makes you appreciate that it works at all.

Massive props to @hongminhee for this write-up and all their work, and those of others that make fediverse possible.

#fediverse #activitypub

C.IM is now running Mastodon v4.6.3. This pulls in the v4.6.2 FFmpeg security release, plus v4.6.3 fixes for filters, collections, search, email image rendering, and a few 4.6 web UI rough edges.

https://s.ee/5bga

#Mastodon #Fediverse

This release saw contributions from some new people, which is great to see.

In this release you can now follow other people, not just join communities. When you follow someone their posts will show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed, regardless of whether you have joined the community it was posted in or not.

You can also follow Mastodon+ accounts. Getting Mastodon integration working really well is going to be a long journey but this release gets us headed in that direction. Eventually I hope that this integration will provide a steady source of timely content to cross-post into threadiverse communities as well as being a peer citizen in the Mastodon-flavored parts of the fediverse.

New:

• You can follow other users and their posts will always show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed, regardless of the community they were posted into. Following Mastodon users works also but should be considered as very experimental. This will improve soon.

In the future you will be able to upload a list of people that you exported from your mastodon profile and follow them in one go. And add people that your instance doesn’t already know about - but not yet. These features will be rolled out in future versions once the dust settles on this version.

• Mastodon posts have a new design that is distinct from threadiverse posts - there is no post title and larger author profile pic.

• Communities can be marked as being a favorite, which makes them more prominent in the ‘Communities’ menu.

• Clicking anywhere in a post teaser takes you to the teaser - you don’t need to aim for the title

• Dramatically improved page load times on Chrome-based browsers (Speculation Rules API).

• Little spinner thing while a vote is being cast

• Updated translations

• Preview markdown when editing a wiki page

• RSS feeds on the home page, including a feed of posts from your subscribed communities

• Topic selection during onboarding looks way nicer now.

• Accessibility improvements to headers.

For Developers:

• Massive CSS reorganisation by travis-jeans. Lots more usage of CSS variables. Improves maintenance and accessibility.

• API: Users can now log out

• API: Follow and unfollow users

• API: video file upload works now

For Instance Admins:

• Communities where every moderator is a bot or inactive are flagged as un-moderated. Reports about posts in un-moderated local communities go to admins.

• Warnings on domains can be 3 types instead of only a warning - the other two are ‘helpful context’ and ‘recommendation’

• Send a DM to a user asking them if they are a bot, with 1 click. If they do not respond their account is automatically flagged as a bot

• Email bounce inbox can now be accessed through POP3, not just IMAP

• Tokens used by mobile apps can be set to expire, using the JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS environment variable

• More accurate tracking of when a user was last active. This will significantly increase your MAU stats.

• Strict allowlist mode to reduce attack surface exposed by federation

• /admin/federation form split up into 3 separate pages rather than one long confusing page.

• Option to disable DM sending for individual users if they lack the self-control to use it responsibly.

• compose.yaml has changed a bit: For most containers the build target is now “runtime’ instead of ‘builder’.

For example

  celery:  
    build:  
      context: .  
      target: runtime  

• Topics can be associated with countries, for more targeted onboarding suggestions based on the viewer’s location.

• To reduce server load and network traffic, a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day has been set at a level that will only affect the top 2% of voters, leaving the bottom 98% unaffected. This quota can be altered with an environment variable. View a profile to see how much of their daily quota has been used.

To upgrade from 1.6.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.7.x  

At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again (or use git’s stash feature). This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git.

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the target: part of the db container.

Saker jag funderade över innan jag somnade igår; det här med kopplingen mellan #wordpress och #mastodon (eller snarare #fediverse) via #activitypub. Jag har fattat att wp-installationen blir som en egen instans i systemet. Att det som skrivs på bloggen kan både läsas och kommenteras både där och här, och även kommentarerna syns både här och där. Är det rätt så långt?

Men hur visas bloggposterna, som ju i regel är längre än maxantal tecken här? Kan någon peka på ett exempel?

Pls give me more strength and get this fever away, I need to processed these documents to be finalized. So this monday will be releasing of the Death Certificate.

@dansup @Floppy It's funnier (to me) this way. I break *so much stuff* with it, particularly when using it as an email address. Also, as of last night, I own ʕᴖᴥᴖʔ.com.

Maybe I should just throw a bunch of #fediverse platforms on it. I'll make you the same offer I've made others - if you'd like a subdomain on any of these (see profile) to test with, I'd be happy to provide one. I'm fairly passionate about them, so seeing improvements where they can be made makes me quite happy.

@dansup

“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.

@daj @82mhz @stefano

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...

If you were going to start posting about cool servers that aren't run by Mastodon GmbH on the @Mastodon account, which hashtag would you use?

#Fediverse

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. :)

I am happy to have worked evenly on #Fedilab and #HolosSocial.
And I am pretty proud to offer a new #Fediverse software that is now stable.

@fediversereport

A couple of thoughts.
1) If spam bot is a business, do they really find an economic incentive in the #fediverse ?
Isn't significally lower, like programming viruses for windows is more convenient than for linux or osx
(well, i guess this will change also)

2) why don't the AI bots simply fire up their own instance and start following people, instead of counting on accounts being approved

@laurenshof

@mullvadnet trying to gaslight the #Fediverse about "free speech" and fascism, and posting the same obviously PR-approved response to multiple negative posts about their co-CEO / co-founder donating money to fascists sure is a choice.

We could expand this beyond related hashtags.

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116817281859547761

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.

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 💌

#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.
