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 :)

Happy Second Birthday to my little miracle girl ❤️

Exactly one year ago today I was preparing to say goodbye to her. My 12-year-old dachshund had her first severe syncope episode. Her heart rate went over 200, and several times she completely lost her pulse.

I spent that entire weekend doing CPR on her, genuinely believing she wouldn't survive until Monday.

She's been living with dilated cardiomyopathy for seven years. On Monday the vet was honest with me - either euthanize her at the clinic or take her home and let her pass surrounded by her family.

I chose the second option. I wanted her last moments to be in a place she knew and loved.

I monitored her breathing and heart rate every 30 minutes, kept a diary, gave her all the medication, and even syringe-fed her water.
A few more times I thought I had lost her.

But slowly, stubbornly, she started coming back. She began to stand, then walk, then eat again. Her numbers stabilized.

And today - exactly one year after the day I almost let her go — she’s now 13 years old, running around the house, playing, and acting like her old self.

This photo was taken today while we celebrated her "second birthday".

I'm incredibly grateful she gave me one more year. I hope we get many more.

A black and tan dachshund wearing a yellow unicorn party hat lies on a light-colored carpet in a living room. She is looking calmly to the side with a relaxed expression. In front of her lies a large, well-chewed rawhide bone. The photo has a warm and celebratory atmosphere as she marks her “second birthday” one year after a life-threatening heart episode.

Eine schöne Tradition hier ist der Brauch Leute, die #neuhier sind, zu begrüßen.
Und #Kulturanthropologie klingt sehr spannend.

Bei Instagram haben wir jetzt bekannt gegeben, dass wir die Plattform nicht mehr aktiv nutzen werden. Vor allem weil wir durch den Algorithmus dort quasi unsichtbar geworden sind.

Dieser Beitrag, der das Ende ankündigt, hat dann plötzlich Reichweite bekommen. Weil er polarisiert.

Leider wollen wir gar keine polarisierenden Dinge posten, sondern Infos zu Museen und Kultur-Themen teilen.

Instagram findet das irrelevant. Also ist es nicht mehr der richtige Ort für uns…

So sehr ich das #Fediverse als Technologie liebe, bin ich der festen Überzeugung, dass die Föderation es schwer macht Gleichgesinnte zu finden.

Mein Gedanke zum Thema:
Das dezentrale System bringt das Problem mit sich, dass es keine zentrale Anlaufstelle gibt. Vorteile gibt es natürlich genügend, doch dieser Nachteil ist die - meiner Meinung nach - derzeitig größte Schwachstelle des Fediverses.

Irgendwo möchte man hier ja auch Leute erreichen, und ich spreche nicht davon, Influencer zu werden. Wenn man keine Interaktion möchte, würde ein Tagebuch ja auch ausreichen. Sicherlich möchte man irgendwo gelesen werden oder anderen Leuten mit seinen Bildern eine Freude bereiten.

Wir sind hier in tausend verschiedenen Ecken verteilt - auf verschiedenen Fediverse-Plattformen unterwegs, auf unterschiedlichen Instanzen - das, wofür das Fediverse immer angepriesen wird. Und sind wir mal ehrlich, wir Admins kochen irgendwo alle unser eigenes Süppchen, auch wenn man einfach einem vorhanden Server beitreten hätte können.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, nicht voneinander zu erfahren, wenn uns niemand "einander vorstellt", sei es über Boosts oder Erwähnungen. Ich selber folge keinen Accounts, die ohne Zusammenhang alles boosten, was sie toll finden. Wir Menschen sind verdammt vielschichtig. Während ich Thema A, B und C toll finde, boostet jemand dem ich folge Zeug zu den Themen C, D und E. Mit anderen Worten: Ein drittel der Boosts interessieren mich... und der Rest ist mir Schnuppe. Die Timeline ist dann nicht mehr "auf mich zugeschnitten", wie ich sie haben möchte, abgesehen davon, dass ich Thema E verabscheue. Daraus folgt, die Boosts der Person stummzuschalten... oder Hashtags stummschalten, die nicht zuverlässig verwendet werden? Wörter stummschalten? Diese Wörter könnten ja auch spontan für einen Witz verwendet werden - einen Witz, den man dann doch gerne gelesen hätte.

Wir haben hier noch keine zuverlässige Methode, einen Post zu einem bestimmten Thema über zumindest einen Großteil des Fediverses zu transportieren.

Lemmy unterstützt Communitys, welche für Nicht-Lemmy-Nutzer ein einfacher Fediverse-Account ist, der deinen Post boostet, wenn du ihn in deinem Post erwähnst. Ich war am überlegen eine Lemmy Instanz aufzumachen, nur um diese Communitys / Gruppen zu erstellen. Doch wer würde das schon nutzen, außer mir? Ich wäre erneut ein Admin, der sein eigenes Süppchen kocht.

Ich zerbreche mir den Kopf darüber, das Fediverse mit den vorhandenen Tools miteinander besser zu verknüpfen wie Lemmy Communitys, dessen Instanz keinem einzigen Admin gehört. Das Konzept dieser Lemmy Communitys ist großartig und Fediverse kompatibel. Diese Boost-Accounts gibt es ja bereits länger, doch ich sehe nicht, dass diese auch aktiv von Nutzern verwendet werden. Wenn dieser Account automatisch Hashtags boostet, landet nicht selten ziemlich viel Schrott in der Timeline.

Was könnte man da also machen?

@Lorker ein wichtiger erster Tipp waere mal Hashtags zu nutzen. Danach gezielt auf deine Blase zugehen und interagieren.

Du bist seit 4 Monaten hier und folgst auch relativ wenigen Konten. Ich denke da kommt so einiges zusammen.

Maximale Reichweite wirst du hier niemals erreichen. Das war auch nie die Idee des #Fediverse

⚠️ OVH Local Zone Zurich outage (~4h)

My VPS in OVH’s Zurich Local Zone (where this Mastodon instance lives) was completely unreachable for about 4 hours yesterday.

No status page updates, no incident notice, nothing from OVH (so typical).

From my side it looked like a clean Layer 3 issue - pings to the VPS returned Destination Host Unreachable from their ToR router inside the zone:
localzone-zrh-zur1-tor2-as4210011009.ch.eu (57.128.121.83)

Uptime monitoring dashboard for the last 24 hours. Large text shows “82.73% UPTIME”. A thin horizontal bar is mostly green with a distinct red segment in the middle indicating downtime. Below it, “0.82 APDEX (1.0)” with a row of small colored boxes showing hourly scores: mostly bright green at 1.0, but with a clear drop to 0.29, then several 0 values, and 0.62 (in red/pink) during the outage window around 16:00–20:00. Time labels on the x-axis go from 12h to 10h (next day). The red elements align with the OVH Zurich Local Zone outage.

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116776972203072635

Seeing the comments under this post is wildly discouraging. I left twitter precisely because of this type of pile-on holier-than-thou behavior.

The commission is present across a multitude of social networks including the Fediverse (where their presence is growing), #Wsocial (ATproto), and other proprietary non-federated social media sites.

Do the commenters here really believe that their comments are advancing the interests of the #Fediverse or Open Source ?

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of fediverse developers do not want millions of users, they are designing their software carefully for them and people like them.

I'm a dreamer, and love to think bigger, and build platforms with millions and even billions of people.

Both types of devs and projects can thrive, because we give the people control and power.

That is what matters, nobody can control this, not even me or mastodon.social

The protocol is the true power.

Three panel comic, titled "Probably not how it works". First panel: A woman holds hands with a small boy wearing a baseball cap and a t-shirt with the Apple logo. Boy says "Mommy what's Fediverse?", while pointing at the Fediverse logo. Second panel: Mother says "Don't look at them, Ricky. I don't want you to be influenced by... Oh God no" Third panel: Mother says "Rickyyy". Son says "It is too late, mother I have seen everything". The son is now sparkly, and wearing colorful clothes and heart shaped classes. His pink vest now says: "No to AI", "No to Big Tech", and "Tax the rich". It also has the Palestinian flag, an Antifa patch, and the Linux penguin logo. (Original comic credit: Extra Fabulous Comics.

What do you think of the following as an introduction to the #Fediverse ?

"More than half of the world’s population are estimated to use social media in one form or another. However, the current state of social media leaves much to be desired. The richest man in the world uses the platforms he owns to openly support racism and fascism. The others are hardly better – they flood users’ feed with posts that are sure to upset them, in order to trigger responses and thus increase “engagement” and ad revenue.

Try out the following experiment: Open up the social media account of your choice, and scroll down your feed. How many of the posts you see are from:

- Advertisers,
- huge media conglomerates,
- or people whose views are abhorrent to you?

And what percentage of posts are from people you actually made the choice to follow?

None of this is an accident. Your online friends are nothing more than the hook that keep you on the platform, and your mutual presence ensure that you stay there – even as the user experience gets worse and worse. Everything else you see is either shown to keep you engaged – even if “engagement” means getting rage-baited by horrible people – or designed to extract money from you and the organizations who place their adds there.

But there is an alternative to the commercial platforms, their algorithms, and their hidden and not-so-hidden agendas: The Fediverse."

I love that on the regular internet, you can be like "I need to find out what part this is on my 2025 car" and all the results you get back are for car rentals, people trying to sell you a car, trying to buy your car, or AI slop videos explaining to you what a car is in the least intelligible way possible.

But... in the #Fediverse you can be like "anybody know the correct wiring layout and voltages for a 1974 "Passion-o-Meter" novelty Love Tester from Hanlon Amusements in Fairbanks, Alabama? I found one while doing recreational free diving in a cave system in Peru and I'm trying to put it back together again" and not only does NOBODY question any part of the insane statement made, but three people who happen to specialize in that exact sort of thing immediately emerge from the woodwork like the reverse of Homer Simpson going into the hedge.

Hey fediverse,

Did you know I created a human curated list of fediverse apps?

It's called communityDB, and powers the FediDB Apps page!

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

#snac2 #fediverse

I wonder what will be the next major driver of #migration to the #Fediverse? X/Musk does something that drives away users, or governments? It catches on at last in the EU? Bluesky blows up? #Loops⁩ goes viral? Facebook shuts down? #Threads makes sharing the default?

Many features people complained were lacking years ago are now in place, but it doesn't feel as if the Fediverse is growing much overall, ⁨https://fedidb.com/⁩ .

#Fediverse #Strava #Wanderer #Fitpub #Endurain

We need a #fediverse alternative to Strava

Have you ever wondered which cities are mentioned the most in the Fediverse? I did! I built a small tool that checks the hashtags for the biggest cities in DE, AT, CH, NL, GB, IT, FR and DK.

You can see the results on the map here: https://54gradsoftware.codeberg.page/fedi-cities/.
You can find the software here, along with a list of limitations: https://codeberg.org/54GradSoftware/fedi-cities.

This is only a small, limited analysis, but you can see lots of dots everywhere, especially in bigger cities, and generally in Germany and the Netherlands. [1/3]

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?

#fediverse #activitpub

For #Mastodon app developers and fellow #fediverse platform developers, with the approaching Mastodon 4.6 release we've put together an overview of new and changed APIs that you may want to look at! Collections, profile editing, #Wrapstodon, and more:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/mastodon-4-6-for-devs/

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.
