Why is my “home” button not working anymore on my iPhone in the Mastodon app? Anyone else having the same issue?

It switches back to the flow if I’m in another view, but it no longer refresh and takes me to the top if I’m in the flow

if there was mitra with the entire feature set of mastodon it would be crazy. Mitra is way easier to setup, maintain and configure and mastodon has a great ui, moderation and administation through a webui. Mitra's ui is very limited, theyer implementations of relays is stupid and it doesnt have object storage. Mastodon doesnt allow you to change the default message lenght without breaking the update system, has way higher resource usage and the setup for nginx is just a big ball of jank. Combining mastodon and mitra would make the ultime activitypub server.

Don't worry if a question seems simple, there is no such thing as a stupid question.

If you prefer to look stuff up yourself, there is lots of help for using Mastodon and the Fediverse on the website at https://fedi.tips (new people might especially like the "Quick Start" section at the top).

I'm doing this week at work a talk about the Fediverse (a beginner talk)...
what do you think, should be definitely in?

(of course I will show all the major plattforms (e.g. @Mastodon, @pixelfed, @LemmyDev, @info and so on.. maybe even @loops)

and I will definitely show the lovely 4min video from @_elena which is a great introduction to the Fediverse)

Today, I'm going to talk about passive-aggressive spam on the Fediverse.

As someone who works at META (Facebook), I encounter this kind of behavior often. Passive-aggressive spam usually looks like someone jumping into a conversation — not to contribute — but to subtly promote their own product, service, or website.

For example, you might be talking about your cat, and suddenly someone replies with something like, "That reminds me, I found amazing deals on cat treats over at my site!" They might not post a direct URL, but the message is clearly promotional. These posts are often supported by a few dummy accounts that quickly like the comment to create a false sense of credibility.

Today, I saw an example of this on the Fediverse (see screenshot). No one brought up this person’s website. No one was speaking to them directly. No one was talking about them, either. Their reply wasn’t really about my post — it was clearly an attempt to promote their own Fediverse instance, complete with a self-branded hashtag.

Unlike traditional platforms, the Fediverse doesn't have an algorithm to push posts. Instead, content needs to be boosted by other users to gain visibility. In this case, the user employed another site — with zero active users (see screenshot) — to boost their own post. The boosting account was created just yesterday (see screenshot), making the intent even more obvious.

The domains involved in this scheme are fuckass.space and darkestalleygang.lol .

This is spam — just dressed up as conversation.

In this screenshot is both my post and theirs. My post reads: Since the influx of Blue Sky and Twitter users, Mastodon Dot Social had unfortunately — but temporarily — experienced a few Nazi accounts, all of which have since been removed. However, a few individuals are now wrongfully claiming that the Fediverse is no different, simply because a few bad individuals managed to make it here. What they’re choosing to ignore is the key difference: those accounts were dealt with and rightfully removed. The fact that they weren’t caught immediately does not support the implications being made. 🙄 Haters are going to hate. 🤷 Their post reads: do you have any receipts for your claim that "a few individuals are now wrongfully claiming that that the fediverse is no different" because if they're a part of #fuckaas then i know them or know someone who knows them, we are historically very reasonable and patient people, we bring with that a culture that has brought life to this website. perhaps if you talked to us and not at us, then we could figure out what the underlying problem really is and how to address it long term.

Someone shared this post on a forum https://kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPossum/115361140605633489.

I tried loading it on Tusky, but there was no response. I searched for the author of the post while logged into my instance but received the message "Account suspended." However, when I access the link directly, I can see the content.

Does any #Fediverse guru understand what's happening?

I found it quite confusing.

Welcome to the Fediverse!

There is one true, universal standard on the Fediverse:

1) Nazis are not welcome or tolerated — ever.

No matter which platform you use — Mastodon, Misskey, PixelFed, PeerTube, or any of the many others — you’re part of a larger, connected network. And in that network, Nazis are removed quickly and decisively.

Posted on the #blog:

It’s cool that #Mastodon is intentionally working on technical design concepts for #Fediverse “starter packs” and seeking user feedback. 👏

I have a very specific opinion about this, so I emailed the following to their feedback address. I wonder if you’ve suffered the same issue I have in dealing with starter packs on, ahem, some other network! 😅
