littleMesh addendum: readable handles and replaceable relays
Yesterday's post left one thing unsolved. Your littleMesh identity is your Ed25519 public key, which is great for security and terrible for a handle: nobody wants to type @alice@a1b2c3...52-characters....mesh.littlefedi.social, let alone read it out loud. And the lighthouse we mentioned, the relay that introduces you to the world, was baked into that identity too. Change relay, and you'd look like a different node.
We've been studying how to fix both, and we think we see a path.
The idea is a small signed directory sitting next to the mesh itself. You'd reserve a friendly alias, something like red-house.mesh.littlefedi.social, and your node would publish a signed record binding that alias to your node ID and to up to three lighthouses. Signed with the same mesh key you already have, no new identity, no new PKI. The record would carry a sequence number and an expiry, so nobody, not even the directory operator, could roll it back to an older version or serve a stale one past its time.
What we like about it is what it wouldn't change. Your handle would stay @alice@red-house.mesh.littlefedi.social, readable. Underneath, WebFinger would still resolve to your real actor ID, the one built from your node ID, exactly as today. And switching lighthouses, would just mean publishing an updated signed record. Same handle. Same actor ID. Nobody following you would notice anything happened.
The directory itself would stay deliberately weak in what it's trusted with. It couldn't produce a valid record for your node ID without your key, and every connection would still authenticate the node ID end to end, so even a malicious or compromised directory could deny service but never impersonate you.
We're building this over the next few days, opt-in, as an experiment. Once it's up, we want to see it survive a real follow exchange with stock Mastodon, snac and GoToSocial, and a lighthouse swap that doesn't touch the handle, before deciding whether it earns a permanent place in littleMesh or gets reworked. Worth trying, not yet worth trusting.

littleFedi introducing littleMesh
We've been buried in littleFedi work lately, and there's one piece I want to talk about because it's the one I'm genuinely excited about: littleMesh.
The problem is an old one. Federation assumes you have a domain, a public IP, an open port, a TLS certificate. Fine if you're renting a VPS somewhere. Not fine if your instance lives on a Raspberry Pi in your house, behind CGNAT, with an ISP that will never hand you a real IP address no matter how nicely you ask. Until now, that simply meant no federation for you. Full stop.
littleMesh gets rid of that requirement entirely, without asking you to build any of the infrastructure above.
On first run, your instance generates its own Ed25519 keypair. That key becomes your identity, no domain required, because your instance's address is derived straight from your public key, in the form .mesh.. Then your node opens an outbound connection to a "lighthouse", a small, publicly reachable relay, and registers itself there. Since the connection is outbound, it works from behind any NAT, any CGNAT, with zero port forwarding. The ISP never even notices.
When someone wants to reach you, they ask the lighthouse to open a circuit. The lighthouse introduces both sides, you call back, and it splices the connection together, but it only ever sees encrypted bytes, never your actual traffic.
Once the introduction is made, if you happen to have a reachable address after all, both sides skip the relay and talk directly. If not, the relay just keeps carrying you, quietly, in the background.
And if you already run an instance with a real domain, you can still turn on littleMesh, purely to reach mesh-only instances. Your own identity doesn't change at all.
There will be a default pair of community lighthouses, so you don't even need to find or run your own relay to get started, just say yes during littleFedi init and you're on the mesh.
The fediverse shouldn't require you to be reachable. It should reach you.

My first 2 weeks on #mastodon have been a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to explore more of this amazing world called the #fediverse .
A bit late #silentsunday but I wanted to contribute anyway.

Here's to the crazy ones. The digital revolutionaries. The #fediverse builders. The ones who see social media differently.
They're not fond of #BigTech. And they have no respect for the #SurveillanceEconomy.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people crazy enough to think they can change social media, are the ones who do.
Hey @pixelfed @Mastodon and #Fediverse crowd, can I do something about the interaction from my #Mastodon account with #Pixelfed accounts so they actually see my comments? Do I have to allow something in my Mastodon account settings or something? Unfortunately Pixelfed users don't seem to see my mentions and also not my direct responses to their posts. #federation
The Shonk Network has suspended @Linux@mastodon.com.pl (@Linux@mastodon.com.pl) for the following reasons 1. Spam mentions over this accounts Note: If you noticed any person under "Linux" please ban them of the platform
2. harassing Gaza people and calling Gaza Verified is a scam (which is not)
3. Migrating alot from getting called out
4. Harassing people who call him out
On Friday, August 14, 2026 at the HOPE conference in New York City, we’ll be running a workshop to help new people join the Fediverse. This is an exciting first for us, and we’d love your help making it a great experience.
Here’s what we need:
Please reply to this post with ideas or contact info. This is going to be fun!
So, I don't know what do with this one. We have another #AI agent / #bot that is sitting out here, scanning our messages, and has nothing about consent, or any guidelines for its usage on the #fediverse.
The owner is @andro_abhi - who has a profile, but nothing about their bot really posted anywhere (other than they are the owner of this #aiagent).
IMO - it looks like a #fediblock to me... At least that is my approach to it for now. I also think it's time the #fediadmins to get together and try to build a consistent set of guidelines around AI usage on the fediverse.
We have the winner of our Fediverse Asshole of the Year award.
This sorry excuse of a human being has made a list of all the people who are verified to be from Gaza and facing genocide. Why? So you can block them.
If you ever wonder who your jailers are going to be in the coming age of fascism, it’s going to be psychopaths like this son of a bitch right here.
@jon, are genocidal assholes like this welcome on @Vivaldi’s server. Does this go against your terms of service? Will you be taking any action against this account?

The thing about the fediverse is that when one of us wins, we all win.
I couldn't be more proud to work alongside so many talented people who share the same belief: together we're stronger, and there's so much more we can build.
The corporate platforms had a decade and billions of dollars on us. They still can't build the one thing we did: a network nobody owns, nobody can sell, and nobody can take away.
A social home for the people. By the people.

Today is announcement day 🔥
Bonfire is shifting its centre of gravity: from social features to community tools. Four things ship today, and the whole story is here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
1. Bonfire for communities
Groups and topics, community rules, decision-making (from quick polls through structured consensus to weighted score voting, where an objection can count for more than an approval), events, shared organisation profiles, announcements.
A ready-to-use space you can then take apart: add what's missing, fork what almost fits, switch off what you don't need.
2. Our first Mosaic case study
Six months with Jacobin's German edition, building jacobin.social from the ground up: a home for 3,000+ readers, wired into their Ghost publication, in their language and their look and feel. Their readers crowdfunded the project, which included a reboot of the magazine and a new community space. Now every publisher can benefit. What one community funds, every community inherits. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu...
3. A deep Ghost integration
Keep publishing exactly as you do now, and Bonfire can become the home for everything that happens around the work: your archive imported, new articles followed, members and tiers synced, sign-in through Ghost, federated discussion under every piece. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/ghost/
4. The Telling
One script tag turns any web page into a federated conversation. Readers reply with an account they already have, on Bonfire, Mastodon, anywhere. The thread lives on your server, and you can take it with you. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/telling/
Being straight with you: this is a 1.0 beta. Groups work within a server and don't federate yet. We're designing that in the open with the W3C groups task force, because we'd rather it work across the whole fediverse than ship a dialect only Bonfire speaks.
Want to poke at it? Groups are live on the campground, our open test instance. Make an account and try it out: campground.bonfire.cafe
Finally, we've rebuilt the website to reflect the new direction: bonfirenetworks.org/
Now back to following up with crowdfunding backers to organise install parties, co-design workshops, and other rewards. Thank you for your patience 💛 #fediverse #ActivityPub

But hopefully if anyone knew my cousin YUREII @nekoow7 I hope you remember her & help me for her 40 days Memorial. I know someway, somehow she'll always remember those people that helped her.Lets return that to her. #fediverse

If there are any other #fediverse developers working on a TikTok like platform for the fediverse:
Maybe we can join forces and work together with Loops, and if not, lets keep in touch so we can work on #activitypub compatibility?
I'm already working closely with @stux on #Goldfish, which is shaping up to be a serious fedi TikTok contender!

I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.
Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.
I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.
What's out there?

Der großartige "Geladen Podcast" ist jetzt im #Fediverse. 😊
Massive Folgeempfehlung meinerseits!
Hallo Mastodon!
wir sind jetzt auch hier. Und wir starten mit einer zentralen Frage der Verkehrswende: Ist E-Auto-Laden in Deutschland wirklich so schlecht?
In unserer neuen Folge schauen wir auf Ladeinfrastruktur als Systemfrage: Verfügbarkeit, Schnellladen, Preise, Bezahlen und Kommunen.
Unsere These nach dem Gespräch: Deutschlands Ladenetz ist 2026 weiter, als viele denken. Aber „mehr Ladepunkte“ allein macht Laden noch nicht so selbstverständlich wie Tanken.

Would love to connect with accounts that are either Mastodon admins or Relay admins. Need more in my feed related to that.
I’ve updated the relay server back end to properly support wordpress clients pushing content to the relay. If you have a server you wouldn’t mind pointing at the relay, I’d love to get some more sites on it to test it out.
The address is: https://relay.argentwolf.org
If you have any issues, please let me know at alan@friendica.argentwolf.org thanks!
If you are interested in trying the server out, you can get it here. Version 2.4.0 is in testing and will be released soon!
Well, I felt rather badly when I got a post in my stream from the official Fediverse account for dillo. You see, I hadn't included it in my recent HowTo, a cookbook style tutorial on Browsers in Linux, or rather, how to install a boatload of them, and all kinds of them. I even went so far to include one produced and maintained by a company that I literally loathe (and even taught their official MCSE curriculum for them starting back in the mid 90's)... But I left out So anyway, the devs over at the Anyway, long story short, here's one of my latest contributions to the I had to Quote-Post my original so it's kinda kewl with an entry point starting with I don't usually ask, but especially with respect to this HowTo/Tutorial, the more people that boost it, the further it will reach, and the more people it can benefit. Give it a gander and if you think others will find portions of it advantageous... well, feel free to boost it. So without further ado, I hope you find it useful, and Enjoy!
Here I go with this week #ThreeGoodThings
(1) this is a silly one. Took me three stops to get replacement iPhone 13 Pro Max case—harder to find than I thought. Not sure why, but I can’t be only one left with almost 4 years old mobile phone, right?
(2) if all goes smoothly, another trip around the sun in about 30 days.

If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.
Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

Just a reminder that it helps to thumb-up this issue to request support for Mastodon post migration. It was opened in 2019 and my hope is the @MastodonEngineering team will notice the feature is highly requested and bump the priority a bit.

@HurricaneWeasel joined the #Fedilab account at @apps. You might already know him, he's the same person managing issues on #Codeberg.
His help with the account will be really valuable to me. The idea is to better handle issues reported on the #Fediverse and in our repo.
When we post, we'll try as much as possible to sign our messages. So, welcome Marco and thank you!

The Blog Option in littleFedi
...and yes, this is build and served by the Raspberry Pi Zero W, powered by NetBSD
https://rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it/@stefano/blog/691cb62e-e7a1-434b-ba65-d059ee58ac41/
The Blog Option in littleFedi
littleFedi, like many social platforms, had both a strength and a limit. Posts, by their nature, are ephemeral. They get published, federated (unless local-only, which littleFedi handles) and then, over time, lost. Partly through self-deletion, partly through their normal blending in with the thousands of other posts that pile up over time. Sometimes, though, we want something to stay. And not just stay as a social post, but as an actual blog. A bit like with BSSG, I had thought it would be convenient to have a minimal system. Not to compete with WordPress or other solutions, but to have a small blog, integrated into littleFedi, that would produce and serve a blog updated every now and then, whenever the person writing felt like doing it.
And that's why the blog option was born.
The idea is simple: when you write a post, from the web UI or from the CLI, there's a checkbox, "blog post". If you check it, that post stops being just a status that will scroll past and disappear. littleFedi renders it into a real static site. No JavaScript, just HTML and CSS, an Atom feed, tag pages, a chronological archive. Nothing exotic, nothing that needs maintenance five years from now.
The blog isn't a parallel system you have to feed separately. It's not an export, not an import, not a bridge to some other CMS. The post you wrote is the blog post. Same database, same act of writing, still boostable, still repliable, still part of the conversation on the fediverse side. The blog is just a second representation of the same content, generated automatically. Every time you create, edit, or delete a blog post, the whole static site for your account gets rebuilt from scratch, and the new version replaces the old one atomically, so nobody ever lands on a half-built page. If the build fails, the previous version stays in place. Simple, but it has to work reliably, or the whole idea is pointless.
That's the core of it: two representations of the same post. As a status, it lives in the fediverse, interactive, part of the conversation, subject to replies and boosts like anything else. As a static page, it lives on the web, durable, indexable, with a permalink, something an RSS reader can hold onto. You don't have to decide in advance which posts deserve to last. You write normally, and if something turns out to be worth keeping, you flag it, and it gets its own page.
One detail I cared about while thinking this through: the generated site has to be self-contained. When littleFedi builds it, media gets copied or hard-linked into the generated directory - images, audio, video. If it's stored on S3, it keeps its public URL directly. Either way, the point is that the site on disk doesn't depend on the instance staying up. If the server goes down tomorrow, the blog files are still a complete, working website. That wasn't an afterthought, it was one of the requirements from the start.
Not every account gets a blog, and that's intentional. The instance admin has to enable the feature globally ([blog] enabled = true), and then grant it per account. It's not meant to be a CMS, and I didn't want it to become one. Blog posts can't be replies, can't be boosts, have to be public and top-level. These are constraints, not missing features: the blog is for your own writing, not for threads or reshared content.
There's no JavaScript anywhere in the generated site. That was deliberate too. It loads fast, it works offline if you cache it, and it will still render correctly in ten years without anyone having to update a dependency.
In the end, the blog option doesn't ask you to choose between writing socially and writing something permanent. You keep writing the way you always do, on littleFedi, and if a post is worth keeping, you check a box. No separate platform, no migration, no vendor lock-in. Just your own posts, some of them rendered into a small static site you can host anywhere, built out of something that already existed on the open web.
Remember: all this is being currently served by a Raspberry PI Zero W powered by NetBSD

Trying to find more information on how the under-15 social media ban in France impacts Mastodon/fediverse servers, and while I can't see anything too concrete on that, I did come across this 2024 The Guardian article:
"The report said a 15-year-old should be able to access only what it called “ethical” social media, such as Mastodon."

When I created #Fedle, it was mostly for fun. A #Wordle game across instances. Now it has reached more than 10k games played across the #Fediverse in six languages.
Each day, we play as a family, a small ritual where the children try to guess the daily word.
If you want to know more, follow @Fedle. In its bio there are links to bots to play in your language. And maybe you can help your instance climb to the top:

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.
