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.
I'm slowly working my way deeper into the technical side of activity pub. But I'm sure there's already plenty of you, who already made a deep dive.
What's a discovery you found most interesting or maybe even unexpected?

These empty plates tell the story of my children’s suffering in Gaza. Jouri and Hamza sit waiting for food, while I watch helplessly, unable to fill their little stomachs. No mother should ever have to face her children’s hunger like this.

I can't find a front-end that has everything I need for fedi. I tried Tusky, it's nice, but just too basic. I tried Fedilab, but holy shit, it's just too much, I get lost in the amount of options available and despite tweaking everything I still can't get it to work or look how I would want. I tried Masto-FE, I tried Elk, I tried so many thing that it feels like I've tried everything.
I keep coming back to #PhanpySocialDev (the dev version for early feature access). It ruined everything else for me.
But Phanpy isn't perfect. My biggest issue with it is that it lacks options. Like, in general. It doesn't have enough settings and things to adjust. And some UX thing bothers the hell out of me. Here are that I want most.
I'm sure there are other things I'd like to be improved but nothing that comes to mind right now. Honestly, give me pronoun support and I'd be a happy bunny. @cheeaun / @phanpy please
- but also, thank you for the amazing frontend!

Can anybody recommend a new android app for mastodon ? I've used tusky for years , but a few times recently it has crashed mid post (always on a long post too!)
I use the webUI as a PWA for my little fedi insyance, as it looks beautiful, still a tiny bit glitchy but it is early days still.
Anyway I need a new app for mastodon? Any new apps floating around that have been stealing the show lately ?

I know VPNs exist, but if there was an option in the Mastodon admin interface to only allow new users to register if they have an IP-address that resolves to Norway... that would get rid of 99% of spam sign-ups and I would probably open registration (as opposed to requiring approval).

Klar bildet auch Mastodon teilweise dualistische Blasen - aber immerhin werden negative Eigenschaften hier algorithmisch verstärkt.
Und ich erlebe schon, dass hier auf Mastodon wissenschaftliche Argumente stärker wirken als nur Reaktanz auslösen.
Sogar Themen, die viele säkulare Linke überhaupt nicht mögen, wie Religion & Demografie, kann ich hier einbringen & mit einigen konstruktiv diskutieren.
Für Interessierte habe ich ein Einsteiger Tutorial zu Sharkey erstellt. Nicht perfekt und möglicherweise mit kleinen Fehlern, aber ich hoffe, dass es Neueinsteigern in das Fediverse mit Sharkey den Start erleichtert! Ich freue mich wenn ihr das Video teilen würdet! Viel Spaß :-)

The crossings into Gaza have been closed, the bakeries have shut down, and the prices of goods have skyrocketed.
All I have in my home are two onions and a little flour. I even had to clean the flour after finding mice in it because flour has become so expensive that I cannot afford to waste it.
What kind of life is this? How are we supposed to survive like this?

Klar, viele Menschen waren schon immer selbstsüchtig, doch seit der algorithmischen Wutwende von 2012 werden Nutzende „sozialer“ Konzernmedien im Durchschnitt wütender, dümmer & einsamer.
In Brasilien steht heute die Stichwahl um die Präsidentschsft an, die vor allem durch Meta krass und zum Teil gezielt nach rechts manipuliert sein soll.
Und zu den Midterms in den USA dämmert - zum zweiten Mal - vielen Wählenden, dass sie auch selbst von Überreichen betrogen und fossil abgezockt werden.
Vielen ehemaligen Trump-MAGAs geht es nicht um Anstand, Rechtsstaatlichkeit & Menschenwürde. Sie sind einfach sauer, dass die Einschnitte doch auch sie selber treffen.
Wir werden Ähnliches bei AfD-Wählenden sehen. Es braucht lange - & gelingt vielen gar nicht - aus der algorithmischen Thymotisierung wieder heraus zu finden.
Das Fediverse ist 1 Chance!

@BlumeEvolution und genau weil das #Fediverse unabhängig und unkontrollierbar ist wollen #vonderleyen , #Weber und #Merz es durch die zwangsweise #altersverifikation ausschalten.

I'm Stephen, and I build Pavillion: an open-source events calendar where calendars follow and repost events from other calendars.
Libraries, nonprofits and venues publish on their own calendars. A town or chamber calendar follows them and hand-picks or auto-reposts their events onto one community-wide calendar.
Self-hostable, open code, early. If you run a community calendar, tell me what you need.
The edit function here can't get enough praise. It's a life-saver! I couldn't function without it as my typing is so atrocious.
There should be a "wanted-to-boost-but-theres-no-alt-text" button on the Fediverse.
Do you agree?

Let's take a moment to explore the concept of my block list.
"Billy Bob" is like:
> "I like child porn and share photos and videos of child porn."
So naturally, Billy Bob ends up on the block list. But along comes "Mary Sue," and she is like:
> "I support Billy Bob, and I am going to like, share, and boost Billy Bob's post."
So naturally, Mary Sue ends up on the block list. Then along comes "John Doe," and he is like:
> "It is completely unfair of you to add Mary Sue to your block list! Mary Sue is not Billy Bob — and so what if she is liking, sharing, and boosting Billy Bob's child porn post? I do not believe anyone should use your block list, and I insist that people should block you instead."
A wise person sees the problem and knows why all of these people are now on the block list, and why anyone who claims the block list is unfair should also be on the block list. No one should be defending child porn, nor the individuals who like, share, and boost child porn posts, nor should they come to the defense of such individuals while denouncing both the block list and its creator.
I am applying this exact same logic to spammers and scammers. It is not a hard concept to understand, and it is not unfair either — unless you are pro-spammer and pro-scammer.
(Speaking personally, I see scammers as just as bad as pedophiles, because they too often prey upon the weak, vulnerable, and defenseless. Scammers are known to target the young, the elderly, and the disabled.)

Big news: I'll be releasing my train simulation game, Highball Express, on Android soon on the Google Play store! When the time comes, I'm looking for people who have Android who would be willing to beta test it for me. According to Google, when I launch an app for the first time I need 12 closed beta testers. This would be the first app I am ever putting up on Google Play. So if you're interested, please let me know in the comments. Provided everything goes smoothly, I'm aiming to have this app on the Google Play store around November 1st or a little bit after — I don't know yet whether I'll have my Google Play developer account set up by the 1st, and the closed beta test has to run first, so I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

Gaza, even bread has become a luxury we can no longer afford. A single sack of flour costs nearly 70 and I’m terrified of watching my children go hungry when we have nothing left to feed them.

Introducing #Betula v1.9.0, the self-hosted federated bookmark manager. Tags, notes, search, #Fediverse, archives, export.
New logo (seen on profile pic), a slight redesign, simplified following flow and, most importantly, remarks.
Think of remarks as quote bookmarks, or a bookmark of a bookmark. This is what was once known as reposts.
And yes, the recent CA situation is addressed too. Please update for security.

The Yellow Line has advanced twice in one week. This time, it has cut us off from the cemetery where our loved ones are buried. We can no longer visit their graves or talk to them, and we don’t know where we’ll bury our dead if we lose someone else. Even saying goodbye to our loved ones is no longer guaranteed. 💔

Musk & Trump haben der demokratischen Welt wieder mal gezeigt, wie abhängig sich unsere Staaten von fossilen Gewaltenergien und Konzernsoftware aus den USA & China gemacht haben.
Leider ist die Zahl der europäischen Politisierenden, die das erkennen, außerhalb des Fediversums noch sehr überschaubar…
„ Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat bestätigt, dass die Starlink-Verbindungen des ukrainischen Militärs vollständig wiederhergestellt sind. Die Übertragungsrate habe wieder das Niveau von vor den Einschränkungen erreicht, teilte Selenskyj in einem Video in sozialen Medien mit. »Derzeit entspricht diese Übertragungsrate unseren Bedürfnissen«, sagte er. Die Wiederherstellung habe im Laufe der Nacht begonnen.“

Widzę, że na Fedi znowu głośno o klientach, więc dorzucę swoje trzy grosze. Ostatnio jadę na dwóch zupełnie różnych rozwiązaniach.
Z webowych zostałem przy Elk (https://elk.zone). Instaluje się jako PWA. Jest lekki, szybki i ma świetnie rozwiązane powiadomienia – polubienia i podbicia tego samego posta widzę jako jedno zdarzenie, a nie dwa osobne. Ma jednak swoje ograniczenia. Na serwerach innych niż Mastodon (np. GoToSocial) czasem rozjeżdża się ze stanem faktycznym. Poza tym wspiera tylko podstawowy Markdown, przez co podczas edycji posta potrafią zniknąć linki w tekście.
Na Androida testuję pobocznie Snowdrop (https://github.com/ihateblueb/snowdrop). To natywna apka napisana w Kotlinie, docelowo ma działać też na iOS. Wyróżnia ją wsparcie dla rozszerzeń specyficznych dla serwerów takich jak Iceshrimp.NET. Uczciwie jednak: to bardzo świeży projekt (faza alfa) tworzony przez mały zespół. Twórcy wprost piszą, że może być niekompletny, więc to bardziej ciekawostka do testów niż codzienny koń roboczy.
A Wy czego obecnie używacie? Stawiacie na lekkie PWA, czy natywne apki?

Hallo zusammen,
unsere Instanz wächst kontinuierlich weiter. Aktuell sind wir 361 aktive Accounts, die gemeinsam bereits 39491 Beiträge verfasst haben. Damit gehören wir zu den etablierten LGBTIQ+ Instanzen im deutschsprachigen Raum.
Ein solches Wachstum bedeutet auch steigende Anforderungen an die Infrastruktur. Server, Speicherplatz für Medien, Backups und die technische Administration erfordern entsprechende Ressourcen. Die laufenden Kosten werden derzeit zum größten Teil privat getragen, einige wenige Nutzerinnen und Nutzer unterstützen bereits mit kleineren Beträgen.
Falls euch diese Instanz als Safe Space wichtig ist und ihr die Möglichkeit habt, würden wir uns über weitere Unterstützung freuen. Alle Informationen zu den Spendenmöglichkeiten findet ihr unter: https://lsbt.me/about (fast ganz unten)
Regelmäßige Beiträge helfen besonders bei der Planbarkeit, aber auch einmalige Unterstützung ist willkommen.
Vielen Dank an alle, die bereits unterstützen, und danke an alle, die Teil dieser Community sind.

Hey everyone,
@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Mohmaedalawer (@memo55)
• yousef atef (@yousefatef)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.
💕

Зачем мы создавали VIR GROUP
Посмотрите, как выглядит путь идеи. Десятки тысяч идей так и остаются в статусе идеи. Тысячи не доходят даже до бумаги, их никто не фиксирует и не проверяет. Сотни становятся стартапами, но о многих никто не узнаёт или они теряются среди конкурентов и не получают внимания. Только десятки превращаются в продукты, у которых есть реальная стоимость. А единорогами становятся единицы.
Мы строили свой продукт именно ради этого пути. Чтобы больше внимания получали реальные проекты. Чтобы авторы понимали, как упаковать идею, чтобы она стала продуктом: бизнес-план, анализ рынка, понятный питч, бюджет на продвижение. И чтобы у инвесторов и предпринимателей было место, где они могут найти друг друга напрямую.
Единорогами станут единицы, и это нормально. Но у каждого человека должен быть шанс заявить о своей идее и повлиять на этот мир.
Если у вас есть проект или вы ищете, во что вложиться, добавляйтесь в друзья и пишите. Будем знакомиться 🤝

Різниця між Android та iOS очима розробника 👨💻
Два дні тому ми подали одне й те саме оновлення в обидва магазини. Google Play перевірив його за годину, і реліз уже доступний. Apple досі перевіряє.
Розумію, чому модерація сувора, особливо коли в застосунку є фінансові функції. Правила є правилами, і ми підлаштовуємось. Але коли оновлення важливе для всіх учасників платформи, а реліз залежить від черги, на яку не вплинеш, виникає питання, чи не гальмує це розвиток продуктів загалом.

Півчетвертої ночі закінчили термінові правки на нашому сервері. Причина в тому, що в світі знайшли дві критичні вразливості в самій мові PHP. Їх назвали PHP2Shell, це CVE-2026-109618 і CVE-2026-109619. Оцінка 9.2 з 10, а для експлуатації не потрібна авторизація.
Основна наша система написана іншою мовою, але кілька окремих сервісів працювали на PHP. Ми несемо відповідальність за все, що крутиться на нашому сервері, тому закрили всі.
Що відомо станом на зараз.
Виправлення вийшли 21 жовтня у версіях 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 та 8.2.35. Старші гілки офіційних патчів не отримали.
Знайшли діри дослідники з допомогою моделей ШІ: першу версію компанія Calif ще в серпні, а Wiz незалежно виявила обидві. Дослідники кажуть, що вада існувала роками, але ШІ зробив її експлуатацію практичною.
Інформація витекла за день до виходу патчу. Спроби атак фіксували ще 17 жовтня, за кілька днів до публічного розкриття. Деякі уряди, за повідомленнями, на час відключили свої сайти.
Масштаб. PHP стоїть на близько 70% сайтів, де відома серверна мова. Це не означає, що стільки зламано: надійних цифр підтверджених зломів поки немає, і дослідники пишуть, що експлуатація складніша, ніж здавалось у перший день. Але ризик реальний, а старих версій без підтримки в мережі дуже багато.
Що зробити вам.
Перевірте, чи є PHP на сервері та в контейнерах: php -v, docker images.
Оновіть PHP і перезапустіть php-fpm або веб-сервер.
Якщо оновитись не можете одразу, вимкніть session.upload_progress.enabled.
Подивіться на дивні дочірні процеси від користувача веб-сервера і нові php файли.
Якщо сервіси були відкриті в мережі з 17 жовтня, змініть ключі та токени.
Бережіть себе і свої сервери 🙏

@aceofcosmicspace@lgbtqia.spaceHELP! PLEASE BOOST URGENTLY FOR ME! I don't believe it, just when I think I'm making headway, the bank has done it to me again-been slow to take out payments and as a result I'm overdrawn🥺 I'll be charged a fee for this, and it means I can't get groceries or pay bills. As someone who's under the poverty line and disabled, this is obviously extremely frustrating and stressful, and has a knock on effect on my chronic illness and disabilities. I'm trying my hardest but I am stuck. If you could help me clear the overdraft and fees it would be so much appreciated. My goal is $145.00 to get clear. Thank you so much💖

there’s also the fact that bad actors of various interests have far more experience cultivating toxic norms that serve to turn people against one another, further atomizing us and destroying any opportunity to build and practice solidarity for our collective wellbeing
a community culture that rewards thoughtfulness with social connection, which way too many people still don’t even know they are missing
#neoliberalfascism #fediverse #culture #cognitivewarfare #communityculture #solidarity #values #socialconnection
the curse: when someone gets stoned then suddenly thinks of the most awesomest idea/meme/joke but can’t remember it long enough to write it down
the amulet: immediately start typing your idea into a fedipost draft until it vaporizes, then hit post anyway and let the community try to figure it out like a puzzle game
#weed #cannabis #funny #socialconnection #fediverse #culture
this is not a criticism or dismissal of existing fediverse culture - i’m saying that it’s giving us a rare opportunity to further cultivate it with intention.

Несколько дней назад мы писали, что нам не хватает всего тысячи до этой отметки. Вы закрыли её быстрее, чем мы ожидали.
Вы невероятные! Спасибо каждому, кто скачал, поддержал, поделился и рассказал другим. Каждое такое действие приводит на платформу новых людей, и мы это видим.
Что для нас стоит за этой цифрой.
VIR.GROUP задумывалась как место, где предприниматели, инвесторы и аналитики знакомятся напрямую, без лишних посредников. Мы строим собственную инфраструктуру, используем открытые протоколы и стараемся сделать так, чтобы платформа была доступна везде: на Android, iOS, Linux и в вебе. Приложение опубликовано в 223 странах и территориях, и мы видим пользователей из регионов, где никогда не вели продвижение.
Наш круг предпринимателей и инвесторов быстро набирает обороты и каждый день расширяется на новые страны 🌍
Что дальше. Мы только что отправили в магазины большое обновление, и в ближайшее время оно станет доступно. Работаем каждый день, потому что видим, что в этом есть смысл. Платформа растёт благодаря вам.
Если вы предприниматель, основатель или инвестор и ищете новые возможности, знакомства и проекты, добавляйтесь в друзья и пишите. Будем знакомиться и рассказывать подробнее.
Спасибо, что вы с нами. Дальше будет ещё интереснее 🤝

HOW TO KILL META!
=================
The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.
Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.
I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.
People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )
Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.
Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )
1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.
1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.
1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.
2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.
3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.
5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.
6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.
7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️
Migration Details:
===============
1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org
2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X
3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:
3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).
3.2 Two internet domains.
3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.
3.4 customer support hotline number.
A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.
Technical Details:
===============
1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )
2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.
3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.
4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.
5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).
6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).
7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================
[Part 2/2]
That's it, in a nutshell. Some details need to be worked out, and that's why I am seeking your help.
A Free Software project might be able to provide the compute resources to host the site.
As for the culture shock of transitioning from FB ( where an evil billionaires algorithm holds your hand, and censors...ahem...curates your feed ) I am not too worried. People will adapt, to yet another new thing.
Maybe we should start new users with a relatively private Fediverse setting, so that only their network can reply to their posts. Rawdogging voices from the whole Internet, without a billionaire's insular algorithm, can be a bit harsh. We will never hear the end of complaints about that bogeyman of the Fediverse — the "reply guy".
"On FB, I didn't get replies from people I didn't know!!!"
( Welcome to the discomforts and joys of the Free World )

Wenn Du Lust hast uns kennen zu lernen oder über alternative Social Media Angebote im #Fediverse, Verschlüsselte #Messenger, datenschutzfreundliche Apps oder #Linux quatschen möchtest, komm gern vorbei. Wir freuen uns auf Austausch.
Es gibt keine Agenda, kein Protokoll, einfach nur entspannt Zeit miteinander verbringen. #Datenschutz #SocialMedia
We tried to respond to this #fediverse admin. They are unfortunately perpetuating the idea:
1. that we are an unmonitored bot account on an awful instance, just because we have auto posts from feeds,
2. that we are bad actors trying to harm the #fediverse and,
3. that we don't remove content that violates our server rules. Our volunteers respond nearly instantly.
While replying, the post was edited, then deleted, and we were blocked from reply.
Bad behavior indeed and not very neighborly.

Womit können Podcast-Betreibende überzeugt werden, auch im Fediverse aktiv zu werden?
Ich denke dabei zB an den Podcast "45 Minuten" aus Dresden, der auf allen großen BigTech-Plattformen vertreten ist - nur halt nicht im Fediverse:
"Wer wir sind:
Im Frühling 2020, zur Zeit des ersten Corona-Lockdowns, beginnt die Geschichte von 45minuten. Zu dieser Zeit begannen wir damit, Lehrfilme und dazugehöriges Arbeitsmaterial für das Homeschooling kostenlos über die Videoplattform YouTube zur Verfügung zu stellen. Schnell erwuchs daraus eine größer werdende Community in den sozialen Medien, die den Wunsch nach weiteren Unterrichtsmaterialien äußerte.
Und so entstand ein Jahr darauf das Konzept der Sternstunden. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen großen Pool von der Community erstellten Unterrichtvorbereitungen aus allen Fächern, Schulformen und Klassenstufen. Diese beinhalten neben einem Unterrichtsverlaufsplan alle benötigten Materialien. Die Arbeitsblätter, Präsentationen o.ä. sind dabei entweder selbst erstellt worden oder unterliegen sogenannten CC-Lizenzen."
