Dear #fediverse , what if we had a sort of #woocommerce system, but Federated.
So like all the #ecommerce stores all uploaded thier products to a "product fediverse".
I was thinking, to be able to add products to a cart from across small niche online stores would be very cool.

One of my short videos went viral, with over 10,000 views and 800 shares, but donations remain very small. Imagine if every person donated just $1.
We can do better.
That’s why we need every possible voice and platform. Awareness alone is not enough these days. The people of the Gaza Strip need real action and food. 💔🙏❤️🩹

9.4.0 — Picture This
Images in Fediverse replies, a block to quote posts from the Fediverse, and a name and avatar of its own for your blog profile. Plus another round of security fixes. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Someone replies to your post from Mastodon with a photo. Until now, your blog showed the text and dropped the photo. With 9.4.0 that can change.
This release is mostly about what you and your visitors see: images in replies, quotes, and your blog profile. It also contains another round of security fixes, so please update.
Images in Replies
There is a new option in the ActivityPub settings: Show images attached to replies. When you turn it on, images in replies from the Fediverse show up below the comment text. Image descriptions come along, so the images stay accessible. Replies that are only an image, with no text, are accepted too.
The images are cached on your own server, so your visitors never load them from the other server. Up to three images per reply are shown. Images only appear on approved comments. Pending, spam and trashed comments show only their text, and their images are never downloaded.
The option is off by default. WordPress itself does not show images in comments, so this changes how your comment section looks, and we did not want to do that without asking. One thing to keep in mind: if your site approves comments automatically, images from other servers become visible without anyone looking at them first.
If you turn the option off again, the images disappear and the descriptions show as text. Turn it back on and they come back.
Quote Posts From the Fediverse
Since 7.7.0, your site can receive quotes. Now it can quote, too.
The new Federated Quote block works like the Reply block. Paste the link of a Fediverse post, and the block embeds it in your post. When you publish, your site asks the author of the quoted post for permission. If they agree, your quote is marked as verified on their server. If they decline, your post stays, but the quote turns into a plain link.
The editor shows where the request stands, approved or declined. It also warns you if the author does not allow quotes at all. You can still publish in that case, but the author will probably say no.
There is also a quote bookmarklet on the Tools screen, next to the reply one. Click it on any Fediverse post and you get a new draft with the Quote block already in place.
This depends on the other server. Mastodon supports the permission request since version 4.5. Other software might not answer yet, and then your quote stays unverified.
On the receiving side, the Comments screen has a new Source column. It links incoming replies and quote posts to the post they came from.
A Name and Face for Your Blog Profile
Until now, your blog profile on the Fediverse used your site title as its name and your site icon as its avatar. You can now give it its own. Under Settings → ActivityPub → Blog Profile there is a new name field and an avatar picker. If you leave them empty, nothing changes, and the site title and site icon are used as before.
Security, Again
As in 9.3.0, this release fixes vulnerabilities that were reported to us.
- Signed requests are checked more strictly. They have to be addressed to your site, and signing keys from other servers are verified more carefully.
- Blocks are respected everywhere. Accounts you blocked can no longer reply to, like, repost or quote your posts and comments, and only the sender of a reply or like can change or remove it.
- Content from other servers is handled more safely when it is imported as posts or comments.
- Apps you connect can only do what you allowed them to do, and only on content the connected user is allowed to change.
If you run the plugin, please update.
Smaller Things You Might Notice
- More languages. Posts are federated with the language Polylang assigned, and posts from Mastodon apps keep the language the app set. Handles like
@renée@café.examplenow work in mentions and search. - Blocks that fit your theme. The Followers and Following blocks take their colors and font from your theme, and the Reactions block has a new Counts style that can replace the comments link in a query loop.
- Your uploads folder stops growing. Profile pictures were downloaded again on every page view, leaving a copy behind each time. The update removes the extra copies.
- Fewer duplicate emails when another server delivers the same message twice, or when a reply also mentions you.
- Comments: replies are no longer auto-approved because the account liked a post before, likes and reposts no longer leak into comment lists, and comment links open the right page.
- What your followers get: no extra image under your posts, summaries that stop at the “Read more” tag, podcast files from outside your media library, and account moves that are verified and reach your followers.
- Apps and the ActivityPub API: mentions from Mastodon apps are federated again, and replies to posts on other servers are delivered.
- Compatibility: fixes for WordPress 7.1 and 7.2, PHP 8.5, Polylang, and sites behind a proxy.
- Under the hood: remote content is cached through the object cache, and endpoints that other servers call now have a rate limit.
The full changelog is in the GitHub repository.
Get It
Download from WordPress.org or grab it on GitHub. If your site updates automatically, you already have it.
Turn on images in replies, try quoting a post, and let us know how it looks on your site. Which servers answer your quote requests, and which ones stay silent?
Thank You

Hey everyone,
@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Feras (@ferasaziz00)
• Reem Akram Gaza (@ReemAkramGaza)
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.
💕

Luku.app now has profiles. I'm wondering whether I should finally add Fediverse or ActivityPub support in some form.
Side note: I know Bookwyrm exists, but I don't want my "reading/book account" to be a full instance. At least not yet, or in the traditional form. I have the same issue with having a Pixelfed account or another fediverse account for specific categories of content. I think it kinda limits users.
Here's how I imagine it working: I could share a book or review from whatever account I'm using, for example my main Mastodon account. Those discussions and comments would then link to the app. The person shouldn't be divided across accounts. The person is the channel, and the posts can come from wherever.

Here's my new blog post evaluating all the stickers for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon I could find: https://bammerlaan.nl/posts/Fediverse_promotional_stickers
There is absolutely no ill intent here—just some honest notes so our community-led promo stuff can hopefully compete better with Big Tech marketing budgets.

Apropos "Net//Split" von @daniel@gultsch.social:
In der Folge 1: "Gibt es das Fediverse" meinte @ueckueck@dresden.network:
"Viele Fediverse-Entwickler haben nicht das Selbstvertrauen, eigene Funktionen zu entwickeln, sondern sie bauen lieber Bestehendes von BigTech-Plattformen nach."
Fand ich eine spannende Aussage und rätsle, woran das liegen könnte? 🤔
I decided to put NET⫽SPLIT, the podcast I’m co-hosting with @ueckueck, on PeerTube. PeerTube’s podcast RSS capabilities are currently more of an “it’s neat that it works” proof-of-concept than feeds you’d actually publish to directories and podcast apps. However, nothing a little nginx-level XSLT post-processing can’t fix. We even have chapters now!
(And yes, I’m submitting feature requests for most of what I’m adding via nginx. One even made it into v8.3.2.)

When I first started using #Fediverse on #Mastodon, it was purely an experiment, and I didn’t have high expectations. Well, that way, you can’t be disappointed.
Here, I’ve met a whole new group of people, often with the same hobbies or views.
In that sense, the Fediverse trumps my commercial social media accounts. #Meta is still relevant for acquaintances, friends, and family, but the Fediverse is all about #interests.
I love being here!

Lichtstimmung & Himmel: Die strahlende Morgensonne geht hinter den Bergrücken auf und taucht die Szenerie in ein warmes, goldenes Gegenlicht mit deutlichen Lichtstrahlen. Der weite Himmel geht von einem zarten Gelborange am Horizont nach oben in ein klares Hellblau über.
Landschaft & Hintergrund: Hinter dem Stadtgebiet erstreckt sich eine weitläufige Silhouette mehrfach gestaffelter, welliger Hügel- und Bergketten, die teilweise von morgendlichem Dunst und leichtem Nebel umhüllt sind.

Das Fediverse ist weit mehr als Mastodon. Ob Microblogging, Videos, Bilder, Blogs oder Veranstaltungen: Unterschiedliche Dienste können über offene Protokolle miteinander kommunizieren. Dezentral, unabhängig und ohne einen Konzern, der alles kontrolliert.
Das Schaubild ist zwar nicht mehr ganz aktuell, aber die Grundidee dahinter bleibt wichtig.

Often I'll have a post in my timeline because someone I follow replied to it. I'll see the original post and the reply by the person I follow. When I visit the original post at its instance website, I'll notice it has more replies by other people that don't show in my snac UI, presumably because my instance didn't have them.
I noticed there's a command "collect_replies" and it sounds like this would get the replies so they show up... but it doesn't seem to do anything?
I wonder if I'm misunderstanding how fedi works or what that command does. Can one instance A ask another instance B "give me all replies to that post!" even when the replies are from even other instances C, D, E etc.?

What We Kept When We Let the Language Go. A personal essay on immigration, identity, assimilation, and the refusal to be erased. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
“Til min tipoldefar — og til det blod, der løber i mine årer.
Tak fordi du står bag mig og minder mig om, at jeg ikke vil blive udslettet.
Tak for den modstandskraft, du gav videre til mig.”
“To my great-great-grandfather — and to the blood that runs through my veins.
Thank you for standing behind me and reminding me that I will not be erased.
Thank you for the resilience you passed down to me.”
There are family stories that live on the surface — dates, names, places — and then there are stories that work more quietly, shaping instinct and posture long before you understand where they came from.
This is one of those.
My family moved to the United States from Denmark at a time when assimilation was less a choice than an expectation. They arrived carrying a language, a history, and an identity the new world would have preferred they release quickly. As part of that transition, my great-grandparents insisted their native tongue be left behind — at home and beyond it. To them, English represented safety, belonging, and forward motion.
That insistence was not universally shared.
My great-great-grandfather refused to abandon Danish. He did not relinquish the language of his life simply because the new world demanded it. More than that, he made it clear that if anyone wished to speak to him, they would do so in Danish.
And so they did.
Within that household, language settled into an unspoken arrangement. One language belonged to the outside world; another remained reserved for the man who would not disappear. This was not rebellion in any theatrical sense, but resistance all the same — a boundary drawn quietly and honored daily.
Born into this environment, my grandfather was raised inside that tension. Language, for him, was never neutral. It carried memory, power, and defiance. It marked the difference between adaptation and erasure.
Practicality still mattered. Assimilation smoothed interactions, reduced friction, and made life easier in a country that did not reward standing apart. Yet even with that pressure, the surrender was never total.
What remains striking is not the conflict itself, but the insistence beneath it — identity preserved not loudly or nostalgically, but through ordinary exchanges and daily routine. Survival did not require disappearance; it required discernment.
That same discernment appeared elsewhere, too.
My great-grandparents opened a small delicatessen, where Danish food quietly endured. Æbleskiver, klejner, cheeses whose names softened over time were prepared and sold to the surrounding community. Without consciously intending to, they translated culture into something that could be shared when language itself became complicated.
Speech grew contested.
Food became an offering.
I think about that often — how identity adapts when expression is constrained, how culture reroutes itself when one path is closed. What cannot always be spoken finds a way to be carried, often by the hands.
Inheritance rarely arrives intact. More often, it transforms.
That understanding sharpened for me when I watched someone else move between cultures with ease — an immigrant who lives fully here while still honoring language, faith, food, and interior life. Nothing about it felt performative or defensive. It was continuity, plain and unforced. Witnessing that made something unmistakable clear: belonging does not require erasure.
That understanding has taken on new weight for me now.
I am moving through a deeply personal challenge — one that has slowed my life enough to force reflection, one that has asked me, again and again, to decide what parts of myself are negotiable and which are not. Institutions have their own language. Systems apply pressure quietly. They ask for compliance, for shrinking, for disappearance disguised as cooperation.
And lately, I feel my resistance rising — not dramatically, not destructively, but with the same clarity I recognize in my ancestor. The same refusal to surrender something essential just to make things easier. The same insistence that survival should not come at the cost of selfhood.
When I think of my great-great-grandfather now, I don’t see a distant figure in an old story. I see someone standing where I am standing — saying no to erasure, even when the stakes are high, even when the institution is powerful, even when the pressure is justified as necessary or inevitable.
That recognition has changed how I understand myself.
Once I saw the pattern, I couldn’t stop turning back toward my own lineage. I began looking up traditional Danish folk dress — the regional patterns, the colors, the way identity once lived openly on the body. Curiosity led me to the language as well: its sound, its structure, what it would take to learn it. Not from a desire to become something else, but from a pull toward something unfinished.
The emotional weight of that surprised me.
It felt as though an old insistence — I will not be erased — had been recognized rather than discovered, as if it had been waiting for acknowledgment.
For most of my life, I carried the pressure to justify who I am. Translation became habit. Softening followed instinct. I learned to make myself easier to receive before anyone had the chance to resist.
Eventually, that stopped.
Not in anger. Not with ceremony. Just with a settled clarity that I no longer owed an explanation for existing as myself.
Looking back now, the refusal traces farther than I once thought. It lives less in memory than in posture, less in story than in instinct. Identity, I’ve learned, does not require consensus to be valid.
Learning a language or studying old garments isn’t about reclaiming the past. It’s about continuity — allowing something interrupted to breathe again, not exactly as it was, but as it can be.
This isn’t an essay about Denmark.
Nor is it really about immigration.
It’s about answering what refused to disappear.
Some inheritances arrive without words.
Others move through posture, appetite, and choice.
And sometimes, they wait generations for someone to notice they’re still here —
and say, quietly but firmly, I remember you.
I suspect this story is not finished revealing itself to me.
I suspect this is only the beginning.
—
**A heartfelt thank you to every immigrant who has shared their food, language, stories, and culture with me. Thank you for sharing a piece of home.**

The thing about Google clearing a forest in Finland without permits is that they decided that whatever fine they might face is worth it. It doesn't cost them as much as not getting the land cleared.
Because like ALL things, if the punishment is a fine, it isnt really illegal for rich people.

Not one of the election leaflets from the #EastYork #TorontoElection plopped in my mailbox or clipped to my door contained any #Fediverse link. Not one. Not THIS time.
I vividly recall the night CTV News had to explain "e-mail" on the evening news because Premier Bob Rae got a threatening one, much like the BBC this past week explaining what a PHP is 🤣

(2/2)…I deeply respect no- #LLM -gen- #AI -ers. But my approach differs:“meet people where they are” & “harm reduction”. Yet, if I describe that here, I get abusive, traumatizing replies, & dox/death/die-soon threats.
I (once?) loved #Fediverse & I'm proud of friends like @cwebber & @evan (& my acquaintances at #Mastodon) who were key to its creation. But for #LLMGenAI debate, it's sometimes a toxic place—at least if one has a disability that reduces their resilience to violent imagery & vitriol

One of the aspects that makes fedi "the better" social is just the mindset of people who tend to be here.
Technology alone can't solve "the human condition" and deep down, behind the ActivityPub and the RSS and the Lists and the web finger - it's the fedifrends that make it work.
So, thank you

about Brazil politics, new fedi users, positive [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
As others have pointed out, it is likely we're going to get a lot of new Brazilian people trying to find a home on the Fediverse, in the next few days/weeks. So, hello Braziiiil! Really excited for new cool people to be around!
Also, congratulations on the election! One of the first thing I read today. Huge relief. And a special thought to my Brazilian followers/mutuals who might see this, I know some of you were intensely stressed about this, rightfully so. Take a breath for now. This a huge victory.
Anyway. Lots of love to Brazilian people. And perhaps, welcome to the Fediverse. 🇧🇷

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?

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).

When I started with #ActivityPub for #WordPress, it was a small experiment. Now almost 4 out of 10 #Fediverse servers are WordPress sites, and it is still growing, slowly but steadily. Come and join us @activitypub.blog 🎉

Concerning #HolosSocial, I still believe it's an interesting project because it brought something new to the #Fediverse.
Not only because you run your #ActivityPub server on your device, but mainly because you can own your identity with your own domain name.
My mistake was making it easy to run the server on your device, but not to get your own identity.
That will be my challenge in the coming months.
PS: I have no funding for this project and I work alone, so yes, it takes time :)
