Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!
UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!
UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com
Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

We just rebuilt vir.group from the ground up. This is not a minor update. This is a fundamental rewrite of the product DNA.
https://vir.group
What changed:
ActivityPub integration is now fully native. Your posts reach the entire fediverse. Hundreds of millions of users across Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and dozens of other compatible platforms. No duplicate content. No managing multiple accounts. Post once. Reach the world.
Matrix protocol with E2EE encryption is now the default. Even we cannot read your messages. Session keys are yours alone. Recovery key gives you full control. Encrypted reactions, replies, edits, deletions. Works on mobile and web simultaneously.
Audio and video calls are built directly into the app. WebRTC with our own TURN relay in Europe. HD video. Noise suppression. CallKit on iOS. Push notifications on locked screen. No external links. No "let's switch to Zoom."
Projects hub is now a full marketplace. Publish your project with description, media, links, tags, and investor pitch. Categories for technology, art, education, manufacturing, services. Global reach via ActivityPub. Premium placement with 48-hour moderation. SEO optimization with short links and canonical URLs. Click analytics. Direct encrypted chat with interested parties.
Full feed control. Filter by words, topics, languages, domains. Mute, block, hide. Choose global, local, followed, trending, or your own custom lists. No algorithmic recommendations. You decide what you see.
Web version now matches mobile. Three columns. Composer. Side navigation. Same E2EE. Same calls coming soon. Responsive design that works on ultra-wide monitors without stretching one column across the screen.
This is not a social network. Not a messenger. Not a project marketplace. It is all three. Built for builders, creators, investors, and analysts.
Register in one minute. Publish your first project today.

When I moved into my current abode there was a brick buit conservatory, with a glass roof which was then incorporated into thr main living space. I love it because, in Winter, it givees me an extra hour of natural light. In summer in can get too bright and I don't like the boring sort of blinds there are for such glass roofs (plus way to pricey) so for some yers I've had what is usually used for shade outside, lightweight sun sails. This year I wanted to do something different and so voila, yesterday arrived a garden parasol. it's up inside and of course it hailed! However, when tth sun managed to sneak through for a couple of minutes I knew the idea worked, plus it felt really holiday (ish). I also have solar lights in the form of hot air balloons so it's fun. I've had ahem 'sophisticated ' spaces before but now I want fun spaces! I will post a couple of images, hail and parasol, in ffollowing posts. Have fun folks, it makes us stonger.

Rückblick: 3. Friendica-Admin-Treff 😊
Der 3. Friendica-Admin-Treff am Montag (11. Mai 2026) war wieder eine rundherum gelungene und sehr informative Veranstaltung.
Besonders schön war die tolle Stimmung und dass Teilnehmer aus ganz Deutschland mit dabei waren — von Norddeutschland über Sachsen bis hinunter nach Bayern. Entwickler und Admins gemeinsam an einem Tisch (bzw. am Bildschirm): Genau das macht diesen Austausch so wertvoll.
Themen des Abends waren unter anderem:
• das kommende Friendica-Release mit einigen wichtigen Verbesserungen
• die darin enthaltene „Verschlankung“ der Datenbank
• Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen bei größeren Updates
• Unterstützung und Hilfestellungen für weniger erfahrene Admins
Gerade das Thema Updates sorgte für viele interessante Gespräche. Friendica läuft auf sehr unterschiedlichen Systemen und Hardware-Konfigurationen — da ist ein großes Update nicht immer ganz einfach.
Dabei entstand die Idee, beim Friendica-Plausch von @feb einen zusätzlichen Erfahrungsaustausch zu machen. Dort könnten erfahrene Admins berichten:
• wie sie das Update durchgeführt haben
• ob alles reibungslos funktioniert hat
• welche Schwierigkeiten es gab
• und welche Lösungen gefunden wurden
Denn eines sollte klar sein:
Niemand sollte mit solchen Herausforderungen allein gelassen werden.
Außerdem hat @oldkid sein CAPTCHA-Addon vorgestellt — ebenfalls ein spannendes und wichtiges Thema. Gemeinsam mit den Entwicklern wurde direkt darüber gesprochen, ob solche Funktionen zukünftig vielleicht fest in Friendica integriert werden könnten.
Und genau das ist das Schöne an Friendica:
Jeder kann sich einbringen, Ideen entwickeln, eigene kleine Addons schreiben und diese der Community zur Verfügung stellen. 😊
Es war insgesamt ein wirklich schöner Abend mit viel Austausch, Offenheit und gegenseitiger Unterstützung. Ein extra Dankeschön geht an die anwesenden Entwickler @heluecht und @art4 .
Und das Beste:
Nach der Veranstaltung ist vor der Veranstaltung. 😄
Der nächste Friendica-Admin-Treff findet im Juni statt.
Da diesmal an einem Montag deutlich mehr Teilnehmer dabei waren, stellt sich nun die Frage:
Sollten wir die Treffen vielleicht generell montags stattfinden lassen?
Was meint ihr dazu?

Wie kann es sein, dass eine bestehende, nutzbare Infrastruktur wie das dezentrale Netzwerk kaum Beachtung findet? Gerade in Berlin, wo mit Mastodon eine der bekanntesten Plattformen dieser Art entstanden ist, und mit dem rbb ein Medium mit regionalem Sendeauftrag existiert, müsste doch ein Impuls für mehr Vielfalt ausgehen. Doch stattdessen herrscht fast vollständige Unsichtbarkeit. 1/2

@christin @fluffy @creativecommons OF course, #FediSuite is quite overkill the way LibreOffice Writer would be overkill to edit Markdown.
That being said I too want to see #Canimus succeed as another Client/Tool, because the #Fediverse *THRIVES* on it's vibrant ecosystem and open #API|s that allow everyone to build for and around it.
- This alone is what makes it "superior" to centralized, corporate antisocial media sites, because developers don't need to beg & pray for "API Keys" on Fedi…
And sometimes, small and nifty tools are better for that job.
- Whereas FediSuite is propably the #1 tool I'd point #SocialMediaManagers at when they want to get into the #Fediverse because it's basically a better #TweetDeck (aka. #Mastodon "ADVANCED" UI) / #HootSuite alternative…

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Möchte mich heute von Herzen bei Euch allen hier auf #Mastodon bedanken! 🙏
In den langen Jahren auf algorithmischen Konzernmedien wie Facebook (bis 2019), Meta und X (danach ebenfalls raus) hatte ich „gelernt“, dass auf jede Erwähnung meiner deutsch-türkischen & christlich-islamischen Familie Hass & Hetze folgten.
Zehra & ich waren uns zwar einig, dass wir uns nicht einschüchtern lassen. Doch schön war das nicht, nach selbstverständlicher Akzeptanz von Vielfalt fühlte es sich nicht an.
Am Sonntag hatte ich es mal hier gewagt, über Familienglück & Glauben zu posten. Ich gebe zu, dass ich mit digitaler Gewalt, Beschimpfungen, Hohn rechnete.
Doch bis heute - kein Hate. Einfach Mit-Freude, Dialog, gegenseitiger Respekt.
Wow. Ich hatte fast vergessen, dass so etwas auch in unserer Zeit noch möglich ist.
Das #Fediverse ist nicht nur freundlicher, dialogischer. Für jene von uns, die die algorithmischen Konzernmedien verließen, kann es sogar heilend sein… 🙏🌈🤔🥰
Bin glücklich.🙏
Zehra & ich ließen unsere Kinder in je gemeinsamen Feiern christlich & muslimisch segnen, zwangen ihnen aber keine Religionszugehörigkeit auf.
Heute nahm auch das dritte Kind die evangelische Taufe freiwillig an & geht seinen Weg mit Gott in Rabbi Jehoschua / Jesus.
Auch ich ließ mich erst als Erwachsener taufen. Und so groß meine Zuneigung zur Vielfalt der Kirchen ⛪️ ist, so wählte ich doch bewusst 1 evang. Landeskirche, in der Frauen und Männer in allen Ämtern gleichgestellt sind. Ich glaube fest, dass Gott in die Herzen aller schaut & niemanden diskriminiert.
Entsprechend betrüben mich auch Dualisten, die „das Abendland“ durch Hass & Hetze gegen jüdische, muslimische, anders- oder nichtreligiöse Menschen „verteidigen“ wollen.
Es sind Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung, diese drei - doch die Liebe ist die Größte unter ihnen.
Meine Erfahrung: Wenn Du wirklich glauben & hoffen willst ✝️, dann hasse nicht - dann liebe. 🫶🏻

I'm curious just how far it would be possible to go, in terms of functionality, if one were to make a Fediverse server and a web frontend to go with it, where said frontend is written entirely in HTML and CSS and nothing else. Would it even function, enough? I feel like if so then that simply has to be more secure than anything involving JS (or whatever else like that, but that I know of offhand, JS)… right?

I know blind people that willingly don't describe their images on Facebook.
I know blind people, actually, the majority of blind people, that *love* cloud based LLMs and can't stand any critique of the shitty people behind the tool, let alone the companies.
I know blind people that want TTS narrating audiobooks and audio description for everyone instead of humans.
I know blind people that sincerely believe audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting because Braille is better so audiobooks should *never* be used in an educational setting.
I know blind people that argue against having audio description and against accessibility because we should be fully independent.
Sighted people must understand that in the blind community especially, there's a *LOT* of blind people and even otherwise disabled people that *hate* all this “PC nonsense” PC is political correctness, but they're arguing against their own interests.
It happens in my own gay community too so instead of listening to blind people that hate other blind people, why not listen to a collective of blind people/other disabled people working to better local or digital environments.
I honestly didn't like the Against Access article when it came out, and I certainly don't like this quote being used to argue *against* access/accessibility instead of participating in an ongoing conversation about an optional filter.

We have received a Copyright claim from Amazon for our @peertube instance videos.trom.tf/ . Hetzner, the hosting company where we have the dedicated server at, gave us 24h to resolve it.
The problem?
The video in question, a documentary about "aliens", a garbage piece of content, was NOT hosted on our instance, of course. But since Peertube is federated the idiots sent the claim to our hosting company. Even if UNDER the video you can see that video is "Posted By:" and the instance and username. It takes a few seconds to see where the video is hosted.
But who cares...maybe Amazon has "AI Agents" employed and they simply find a video of theirs on a URL and see the IP of that URL and submit a Copyright claim to the hosting where that domain is registered?!
Bunch of idiots.
But it is very concerning the fact that they can do these and we, the ones who hosts (and for free for that matter), need to quickly "fix" these things even if the claim has nothing to do with our server.
We eventually had to block that URL, thanks Peertube for allowing that, else these idiots cannot understand that it was not us who were hosting that video.

Happy Mother's Day, Fediverse!
Back during Covid lockdown, I answered a Craigslist ad for a 9-month-old Chiweenie. I've been Jaxon's mummy ever since. Attached is the first photo I took of Jaxon, the day he arrived, and a photo I took today. Same bed; very different dog.
So today's 3 Good Things centers on being a dogmom to a dog with special emotional and psychological needs.
🐕 I am never alone. Like I literally can't even pee by myself, lol 😂 and when I use the bathroom, suddenly he *also* must "go", so I never have to worry about not getting enough sun, because Jaxon will sniff every square inch of the backyard until he finds that one that's the perfect spot to drop his little bomb.
🐕 I am never afraid of being caught at home alone, because Jaxon would gladly gut any strangers like a fish. This is kind of a big deal because I wanted a dog for protection at home. On the other paw, Jaxon has been formally uninvited to the big family Christmas.
🐕 I never have to worry about having cold feet at night. Jaxon sleeps on the bed and puts off so much body heat that winter is never an issue. But don't get me started about summer!

This post is about work happening on WordPress.com, specifically the Reader, the long-running subscription-and-reading surface that’s been part of WordPress.com since 2008. It’s a sibling effort to the ActivityPub plugin, not a feature of it. We think it matters to plugin readers anyway, because the two pieces are converging, and the converging point is what we’ll be working on next.
Two weeks ago, Automattic kicked off something internally called Radical Speed Month, a four-week sprint where small teams ship fast on focused projects. We (@jeremy and @pfefferle) took the chance to spend it on something that’s been sitting at the edge of the Fediverse-and-WordPress conversation for a while: making the WordPress.com Reader speak Fediverse.
Today is roughly the halfway mark, and the picture is clearer than we expected. Here’s what shipped, what’s in flight, and what’s still ahead.
The Reader on WordPress.com has held a single, useful role for over a decade: it’s where your subscriptions live. Blogs, podcasts, RSS feeds. What it hasn’t done, yet, is read the open social web. Your Mastodon timeline lives in another app. Your Bluesky timeline lives in a third. The Fediverse is out there, and the Reader stays over here.
The Radical Speed Month bet: ship three protocol adapters in four weeks, and prove the Reader can become a universal aggregator. RSS / Google Reader API (so any reader app can use WordPress.com as a sync backend), ActivityPub (so Mastodon, Pixelfed, and friends show up natively), and ATProto / Bluesky (because that’s where a real chunk of the social-web conversation has gone). One Reader, every protocol you care about.
If you’ve been following the ActivityPub plugin for a while, you already know one half of this story, your blog speaking out to the Fediverse. The other half is reading in, and that’s where this month’s work concentrates.
Any Google Reader-compatible app can now point at WordPress.com and use it as a sync backend. That includes Reeder, NetNewsWire, ReadKit, lire, Unread, Fiery Feeds, Feed Me, and Read You. The auth onboarding is short, and your subscriptions, read state, and stars sync across whichever app you actually like. We’re working on a setup guide that walks through the steps for the most common apps; it should land soon.
This wasn’t directly Fediverse work, but it’s part of the same idea: the Reader as a backend, not a destination. If your reading habit lives in a different app, that’s fine. Your subscriptions still live on WordPress.com.
The Bluesky / ATProto adapter has moved further than the original plan suggested.

You can:
The remaining piece on the Bluesky side is quote-posting and deleting your own posts, which we’re shipping together. After that, Bluesky is a complete first-class tab in the Reader.
Mastodon followed the same pattern: connect, verify, then a steady cadence of small additions like timeline, in-app threads, author profile and feed (with Posts / Replies / Media filter tabs), and tag and hashtag feeds. All of those are live for Mastodon today.

What’s still coming on the Mastodon side is the equivalent of the Bluesky interaction work (favourite, boost, reply, quote) built on the same shape that worked for Bluesky. Expect those to land in the second half of this month.
If you read 8.1.0 — By the Numbers, you’ll have noticed a small line in the announcement: the plugin now exposes an ActivityPub API. It’s experimental, behind a feature flag, and lets third-party apps create, edit, and delete posts on your blog the way they would post to a Mastodon account.
That work isn’t an accident. It’s one half of a bridge, and Radical Speed Month is the other half.
The Mastodon-in-Reader work that shipped this month is user-level: you connect your Mastodon account once, and the Reader can sync your Mastodon timeline regardless of where your blog lives. That’s a useful starting point, but it’s not the only path forward. The model we’ve been working toward for a year is blog-level: each ActivityPub-enabled WordPress blog as its own social identity inside the Reader, with the plugin providing the actor and the ActivityPub API providing the connection.
That work is on the schedule for the second half of the month. The radical-speed pace gave us proof first: timelines, threads, profiles, and interactions can all run through one shared pattern, with two networks already validating it. With the pattern in place and the plugin’s ActivityPub API ready to talk to, the blog-level path slots into the same architecture, letting your plugin-enabled blog appear as an ActivityPub identity in the Reader sidebar, with its inbox, its outbox, and its real ActivityPub follow graph. And because the API is part of the ActivityPub standard, the same path works for any Reader or client that speaks it, not just WordPress.com.
A short list of what we’re chasing for the second half of the month and just past it:
A month feels short to ship three protocols’ worth of reading, profiles, and interactions. It’s worth saying out loud: this didn’t happen because we worked unsustainable hours. It happened because we sat with the design for months, picked a shape that lets each protocol reuse the same plumbing, and broke the work into pieces small enough that any one was reviewable in a day or two. “Radical speed” turned out to mean: a backlog of careful design, drained quickly.
If you run an ActivityPub-enabled WordPress blog, whether on WordPress.com or self-hosted, the practical takeaway is small for now and meaningful soon. The plugin’s ActivityPub API in 8.1.0 is the foundation for your blog showing up as a real social identity inside any Reader or app that speaks the same protocol. The WordPress.com Reader is the first concrete target, but the universality matters: any client that implements the standard can talk to your plugin-enabled blog the same way.
Already, the work this month means there’s now a Reader on WordPress.com that knows how to read the Fediverse alongside RSS and Bluesky. That’s a meaningful thing to have built, and the bridge from your plugin-enabled blog to that Reader is what the second half of the month is about.
We’ll keep posting updates as the month closes out. If you have thoughts on what blog-level ActivityPub in the Reader should look like, what protocols you’d want next, or how the plugin’s ActivityPub API should evolve to make this seamless, leave a comment on the plugin’s GitHub repository or reply on the Fediverse. We read every message.

Wie können Fediverse und Eurosky voneinander profitieren und offene Netze stärken? - Der Plattform-Gipfel
Und jetzt mal ein Downer, damit's nicht zu schön wird:
Das #Fediverse ist quasi auch eine Künstler:innen-Kolonie. Ein Ort der Schönheit… und der fehlenden Relevanz.
Ehrlich gesagt: weil sich hier viele nicht trauen, selbst Politik zu machen. Ich habe knapp 5200 Follower:innen.
Eine Bundesdelegiertenkonferenz (BDK) hat ~800-900 Delegierte. D.h. ein 12tel von Euch = #Fediverse/FLOSS-affine Mehrheit auf einer BDK.
Just saying.
Frage mich, ob der Marktanteil der Fediverse-Dienste höher wäre, wenn man statt von #Fediverse von #Föderation sprechen würde.
