Just curious: How's #Mastodon doing? @mastodonusercount@mastodon.social seems to have given up at 15.5 million on Oct. 8 2024.

https://mastodon-analytics.com says we're about to hit 10 million total with just about 760 k active. So which is it? And why the huge discrepancy?

Ugh #Mastodon database use is up another $10...

I appreciate things like quote posts being added to v4.5 etc. but I really feel like developers should prioritize rewriting the 'Remote content retention period code' to a more useful state. As it is now, all you can do to save remote cache space is destructive and non-reversible.

The whole Fediverse is storing rarely if ever used remote content forever, thousands of servers... such a waste of money and disk space.

The countdown to my surgery on Nov 5 has started, and my anxiety keeps growing😭.

I’m learning about gastroscopy — it’s not too risky, but still scary for a first-timer🫣.

Please wish me a quick recovery and share any advice or experiences you have. I’m also trying to cover the surgery costs, estimated at $200–$300, so any help or kind words would mean a lot ♥️🫂🙏🏻

Still haven't figured out why I can't convince the nginx-rtmp docker container to relay my web stream. Annoying.

Anyway... in the meantime I've taken some other measures to try to take a load off #FootiMac so that my instance is more responsive (it's very laggy these days) and so I can test out the 4.5rc2 release.

Seems to be a little happier now.

Upgrade in progress. This account will likely be unavailable periodically today as I do the upgrade.

Discord post 29/10/2025 11:44: "Hi everyone, I just put up a rather enormous PR introducing semantic theme tokens to the Mastodon CSS codebase, to be merged once 4.5 is out. This is both a heads-up and a call for feedback, as it replaces almost every single colour declaration in our CSS files. If you're maintaining a Mastodon theme (CC @Rolle, @Niléane) or know someone who does, I'd be happy to hear your or their feedback on the proposed theme token structure. Please let us know if you can see any obvious gaps or issues here that would make your lives harder. Thanks! 🐘"

Today I learned:

"Truth Social uses Mastodon as its backend."

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Social

#TruthSocial #Mastodon #TIL

When they launched Truth Social, they had to be forced to include in their Terms & Conditions that they use Mastodon as their backend.

Not much from Trump is from America. Except for Big Macs and Coke Zero, he seems to prefer what comes from abroad.

Echt krass. Arabische Muslime der #Dschandschawid & #RSF verüben Massaker an schwarzafrikanischen Menschen im #Sudan, das Ganze fossil finanziert v.a. durch die #VAE.

#Antisemitismus gibt es leider auch auf #Mastodon...

@oblomov I think @tusooa was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see merge request); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.)

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others!

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features.

@dansup I hope the Friends feature will come to #pixelfed and #mastodon too.

Good morning and happy Monday Fedi friends! 🌞​

I found a solution to my #Sharkey installation issues!!! (Something as simple as setting the access permission to "visitors", duh). Thank you kind #YunoHost Forum member for setting me on the right path. The 7th time was the charm 🙃​

I'm SOOOOOO EXCITED!!! #Sharkey AKA my favorite Fediverse social software, here we goooooooo

P.S.: in case you're wondering, I will be keeping my #Mastodon account as my main and this #GoToSocial account to share my #selfhosting adventures. Sharkey will be a much smaller profile, private, to just interact with friends and contacts. My little quiet corner of the Fediverse (my two current accounts can get so noisy sometimes, with 100+ daily mentions on Mastodon alone). I'm setting up a fun little zen garden with Sharkey 💁‍♀️​

After looking at this, got curious to know the limits in most servers.

So I did a little data analysis. Servers list from @fediverseobserver , filtered to only Mastodon & MAU > 3. A reduced dataset should be adequate for a rough approximation.

Aliás, mastodônticos também reclamam do SNAC por não receberem notificação sem citação literal, mas considero isso um do (ou teimosia de quem o desenvolve) que deveria notificar quem escreveu uma publicação quando recebe uma resposta a ela, independentemente do conteúdo. Outros sistemas fazem isso tranquilamente. Já conferi algumas vezes registros que confirmam a entrega da resposta na caixa de entrada do servidor nessa situação.
