#️⃣ Hashtags im Fediverse – weniger ist oft mehr
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass viele Hashtags ganz unterschiedlich nutzen. Manche verzichten komplett darauf, andere hängen unter jeden Beitrag 20 oder 30 Hashtags. Deshalb heute ein kleiner Blick hinter die Kulissen. 😊
Ein Hashtag ist nicht nur ein farbiges Wort mit einer Raute davor. Er ist gleichzeitig ein Thema, unter dem Beiträge gesammelt werden. Viele Menschen folgen bestimmten Hashtags, um genau die Inhalte zu sehen, die sie interessieren.
Jeder zusätzliche Hashtag bedeutet aber auch:
🔹 Dein Beitrag wird in einem weiteren Themenbereich eingeordnet.
🔹 Er wird auf vielen Instanzen zusätzlich indexiert und verarbeitet.
🔹 Menschen finden deinen Beitrag möglicherweise über diesen Hashtag.
Mehr Hashtags bedeuten deshalb nicht automatisch mehr Reichweite. Im Gegenteil:
Zu viele Hashtags wirken oft unübersichtlich und erschweren den Lesefluss. Außerdem verlieren die wirklich wichtigen Themen zwischen vielen weniger passenden Schlagwörtern an Aufmerksamkeit.Manche Menschen empfinden Beiträge mit sehr vielen Hashtags als unübersichtlich oder stumm schalten solche Inhalte sogar. Wenige, gut gewählte Hashtags helfen oft mehr als eine lange Liste.
Für die meisten Beiträge reichen 3 bis 6 gut gewählte Hashtags völlig aus. Entscheidend ist nicht die Anzahl, sondern dass sie wirklich zum Inhalt passen.
Ein Beispiel:
📷 Ein Foto vom Sonnenuntergang über der Elbe braucht vielleicht nur
#Fotografie #Natur #SächsischeSchweiz
Mehr ist in vielen Fällen gar nicht nötig.
Hashtags sind also keine Dekoration und auch kein Wettbewerb. Sie helfen dabei, Menschen mit ähnlichen Interessen zusammenzubringen – genau dafür wurden sie geschaffen.
Wie handhabt ihr das? Nutzt ihr Hashtags bewusst oder eher nach Gefühl? Ich bin gespannt auf eure Erfahrungen. 😊
Fuer die Early Birds unter euch: Ich habe mir die aktuellen Vorwuerfe gegenueber #Meta angeschaut, die ihren >3 Mrd weltweiten User:innen gut 15 Mrd Betrugsanzeigen ausspielen. AM TAG!

Flohmarkt is a free open platform for small ads and selling things ("Flohmarkt" is the German for flea market). It's part of the Fediverse so the small ads can federate to other servers, and people can interact with Flohmarkt from Mastodon etc accounts.
If you want to post or browse adverts there is a server list:
🌱 https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
There is techy info on their Codeberg page:

Ok, I'm testing something cool.
A blend of #snac, #Mastodon, #honk, #GoToSocial...and more.
This is running on a Raspberry PI Zero W, powered by NetBSD. The same that is powering my own smart thermostat. And it's quick.
I'll use this account and try to "stress" it.

OK, if someone wants to explain why the #fediverse decided Bandcamp is satan last month, I'd be grateful. I'm seeing the fallout but don't know the story.
Searching of mainstream news hasn't shown anything yet, and looking here on #mastodon gives me loads and loads of (possibly delightful) music recommendations with the #bandcamp hashtag. I'm not seeing a rundown of the controversy, yet. So if you know, I hope you'll drop a word.

RE: https://mementomori.social/@rolle/116806833065363287
Interestingly, Meta has been implementing a "tune your algorithm" type of feature, which is surprisingly user-focused. You can select the topics you want to see more of and what you want to see less of, mute words, add your preferences... of course, Meta has their own agenda and wants you to get as hooked as possible so they can make money off you as a product, but I like the idea that it is not completely opaque.
I am building something similar in my Mastodon instance but truly without any monetary goal.
For algorithm haters out there, remember that reverse chronological order is an algorithm too. If you like getting video recommendations on YouTube, PeerTube, or music recommendations in a playlist, that is an algorithm too. I honestly do not understand all the algorithm hate when it is focused on the tech itself rather than commercialism.
The capitalist nature of algorithms is, of course, something to stand against, since it works by exploiting users. But if it is for user benefit without any rotten backstory, algorithms in my world are great.
#Algorithm #TheAlgorithm #AlgorithmicFeed #ForYou #FYP #Meta #Fediverse
Implementing your own #Fediverse #ActivityPub server sounds like a good idea until you see the mush of half-implemented protocols that #Mastodon actually is. #ActivityStreams Link type? Profile? Tombstone? Whomst?
Why is there a webfinder endpoint? I don't want skeletal twinks fingering my web!?
And also an RSA key pair? Publicly being this embarrassing should be proof enough, nobody would dare pretend to be *this*!
Guten Morgen ins #fediverse ☀️
Ein paar schneeweiße Flauschwolken huschen vorbei. Die Vögel piepsen und trällern durcheinander. Leise Musik hört man aus der Nachbarschaft und irgendwo klappert Frühstücksgeschirr beim eindecken……es ist Sonntag 🫠❤️

Some of this will be due to new features in the latest version but I think most of it is because previously PieFed was not accurately keeping track of user activity. Now that it is, the numbers are bigger.
Hello Fediverse 👋
We’re building ForkMesh: a community-owned Git forge for public and private repos.
Host projects, mirror code across real machines, sign collaboration, and keep work reachable beyond outages, takedowns, or walled gardens.
Run a node. Start a repo. Mirror what matters.
Just a friendly reminder that this instance is running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD and littleFedi (not yet released)
More bitching about (American?) lefties: Some people work really hard to eliminate binaries when talking about gender and attraction, but bake it into many other things. Every post that says things about "Americans", "Republicans", "White people", "Men", "Children", etc. assumes a binary: If you're in this group (by the definition of the writer), then you share all of the characteristics the writer attributes to the group. I get the desire for a punchy, uncomplicated hot take (and I have been guilty of this), but it's not valid or true. Americans aren't remotely one thing, ever; we're a bunch of cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, doorknobs, and squids shoved in the same bag. White people, men, women, children, autistic people, etc.: Similar situation: There is a lot of diversity. In many domains there is more diversity of whatever-you're-talking-about within the group than between that and other contrasting groups. Even Republicans (as much as I hate to admit it) are not the same; they're a bit of a different situation because conformity (i.e., "unity") via authoritarianism is valued so strongly in conservative groups that diversity of thoughts, attitudes, etc. is suppressed and then not displayed, but there are still differences (OK, I regularly say "Republicans" as a global stereotype on FB, trying to punch through the noise of blandness... I'm guilty of this).
Comments like "The constitution was [description]" or "America is basically..." etc. do the same thing: they attribute one set of characteristics to something that is inherently not one thing. No matter what your hot take is about the Constitution or immigration law or the US justice system, you're wrong unless you fold in the fact that these are multidimensional mishmashes of the intentions and actions of many different people and groups.
Most of us have generous character limits here on the #fediverse, and I think many of us pride ourselves on at least trying to do critical thinking and careful analysis of complex things. There is no exception for things "everyone agrees" are "merely [whatever]".
What do you usually call it?

Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you.
I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores.
Then the surprises started.
The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x.
Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k.
And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper.
For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is.
Benchmark before you migrate.

MY EVER PATIENT GOLDEN! #mastodon #fediverse #photo #photography #outdoors #dogsofmastodon #dogs #pets #goodnight
Hi guys! 🙂 I’m moving this conversation away from Burnout Café’s @admin account and over to my personal account. The admin account is meant mainly for administration, moderation, and service information.
It was me who wrote the posts about #pornography, #moderation, #mastodon, and the #fediverse.
I stand by my policy arguments, but I accept that one phrase was badly chosen. I should have referred to pornography generally, not homosexual pornography specifically.
I am not saying that gay people or gay sexual content uniquely endanger anyone. That is not what I believe.
My view is that Mastodon-branded generalist instances such as mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world should not host pornography, regardless of orientation, and should do more to prevent unexpected exposure to pornographic material federated from elsewhere.
Content warnings and hashtags frequently are not being used, notably when posts are federated from other instances where they don't apply the same rules as mastodon.social and mastodon.online.
So pornography without any obfuscation can reach people - including minors - who did not knowingly opt into adult content.
Pornography can be hosted on other servers in the Fediverse, but I don't believe it should be on servers that are operated by the Mastodon project, or that are likely to be perceived by newcomers as Mastodon-branded entry points.
Burnout Café’s server rules show the kind of lower-shock, non-pornographic general space I am trying to maintain.
I support LGBT+ people living openly, safely, and equally.
My argument is about pornography policy on major Mastodon entry-point instances, not about opposing LGBT+ rights or expression.
People are free to disagree with me. I am also free to argue for stricter moderation.
I am happy to discuss the actual policy issues: consent, containment, age-safety, public timelines, federation, and the role of Mastodon-branded generalist instances.
I am not interested in turning the debate into a trial of motives.
Gentle reminder to add alt-text to your images and screenshots if you want your content to be accessible AND multiply your engagement with much more people reposting your posts.
Adding alt-text is a win-win-win situation, really. It helps everyone 💚

#HolosSocial relay is confirmed to be very stable. I will officially tag it soon so admins can run their own relay with a script to easily install it on their VPS.
Using Holos with a custom domain and a cloud for media allows you to own your portable identity on the #Fediverse. Relays become only an infrastructure for it. Your device runs the #ActivityPub server and works as smoothly as any other app. Micro-blogging, media, and video, all from a single account. Switch with a simple tap.
I was thinking about forking ActivityPub and calling it ActivityCafe.
It will natively only support 'ristretto' connections, and the only allowed emoji is 🤌.

Small win in the new role.
Two weeks in, and I got official permission to use @Vivaldi as my work browser
Edge stays the company standard, this is a personal exception, and I am perfectly fine with that. For now.
The formal route existed: a software approval request, a ticket, the whole bureaucratic chain.
What actually settled it was a short live demo at our Friday Jour Fixe for the head of IT, a man who has spent decades keeping infrastructure stable and does not adopt shiny tools by default.
I showed Tiling, Notes, Sessions, Workspaces with Rules, Read Later, and the F2 command panel. No slides, no pitch, just the browser doing its thing.
Substance won over defaults. That felt really good.

The Open Web never looked this good!😎
Holy moly, I had occasion to look at my old Twitter feed today (I will never willingly call it X), and it's deader than a doornail. There are still people posting there, but the frequency is less than my Fediverse feed with way more users.
#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.
I finally added an oft-requested feature to https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ , my project to track statistics for the #fediverse and other Internet infrastructure. it now includes history for the Shannon Index, showing how decentralization has evolved over the time I've been collecting data.
So, I got this question some days ago and I can only guess: Why is there almost no content on #Mastodon/ in the #Fediverse about the #WorldCup?
Yes, I know, that we're supposed to boycott etc. But that's clearly no majority opinion out there. Is there really no interest here?
Is it because of something technical? Like no proper live debate because you won't see all posts?
Or does (almost) no one post about football here, because of negative replies? What do you think?

The digital art community is in the middle of a massive exodus. If you've noticed fewer illustrators and photographers on Twitter (X) and Instagram lately, it's because they are actively packing their bags and leaving.
The catalyst? Aggressive AI policies. From Meta's hidden AI training checkboxes to X's new "Grok Edit Image" feature that launched without opt-outs, the big tech platforms have made it clear that user-generated art is viewed merely as training data for their generative models.
But the art community isn't just logging off—they're migrating.
In our latest article, we explore the three platforms that are absorbing this massive wave of creative talent:
🎨 Cara: A centralized, anti-AI portfolio platform that integrates Glaze and Nightshade directly into its uploader to poison AI scrapers.
📸 Pixelfed: The chronological, algorithm-free fediverse alternative to Instagram, perfect for photographers.
🦈 Sharkey/Misskey: The feature-rich, drive-enabled fediverse microblogging platforms that feel like a cozy, customizable home for digital illustrators.
As the corporate web becomes increasingly hostile to human creators, the open web and creator-first platforms are experiencing a golden age of adoption.

Are you into 3D printing, self-hosting and the Fediverse?
If so you might want to look into Manyfold, a FOSS Fediverse platform which lets you upload and share 3D print models:
You can follow the official accounts at:
🌱 @manyfold@3dp.chat (main)
🌱 @manyfold@makertube.net (videos)
You can host your own Manyfold server using the instructions at https://manyfold.app/get-started/installation (be warned though, installation does require a bit of tech skill).
Curious what kind of luck people have had running a single-user, self-hosted @gotosocial instance instead of joining a larger shared node.
With relays in GotoSocial, my feed is great—I can discover pretty much everything I care about. My bigger question is the *other* direction. I've heard some instances de-prioritize or outright limit federation from low-volume, self-hosted, or otherwise unknown nodes.
If you're mostly consuming content, I imagine it's a non-issue. But if you actually want to participate in conversations, are you giving up reliable interaction by running your own tiny instance?
Curious to hear real-world experiences. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SelfHosting #GoToSocial

Hallo #Berlin #Fediverse - ein kleiner Bastel-Hilferuf - hat wer von euch einen MQ3 Alkoholsensor übrig?
Für unsere ORWOhaus Festival Kunstinstallation brauchen wir einen MQ3 Alkoholsensor, denn unserer ist leider gerade durchgebrannt und bei Segor haben sie ihn nicht vorrätig, Amazon kann erst nach dem Festival liefern :(
Mutmaßlich ist der LM391 auf dem MQ3 Board durch, ich kann ihn selbst leider nicht tauschen.
Today I successfully tested a migration from my 'historic' Akkoma instance to littleFedi, without changing the domain name and without breaking the federation.
The procedure involves extracting the keys, so federated instances will accept this without any issues. In their eyes, there will be no particular differences, and they will gladly digest it without breaking the federation.
I have documented the procedure and kept the tool. I'm probably going to create something similar for Mastodon, though it will be a bit more complex.
Je tu někdo z Opavy, kdo je na Fediverse? A měl by chuť zajít na pivo nebo něco jiného do Pivoteka13?
what is a reasonable max size for a #fediverse #instance before stuff begins to structurally suck in y'all experience?
| <1000: | 0 |
| <5000: | 0 |
| 5000-10.000: | 0 |
| >10.000: | 0 |
Closes in 2:05:48:04
This was Akkoma. Its keys have been imported into littleFedi and instances seem glad and didn't notice the change.
It's a hack, for now. But I'm planning to add it to littleFedi
📢 Einladung zur Fediverse-Sprechstunde
📅 Montag, 20.07.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
Das Fediverse besteht aus vielen verschiedenen Anwendungen wie Friendica, Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube oder BookWyrm. Oft entsteht dabei der Eindruck, man müsse überall einen eigenen Account anlegen.
Doch genau das ist einer der größten Irrtümer.
Im Fediverse sind die verschiedenen Dienste miteinander verbunden. In vielen Fällen genügt bereits ein einziger Account, um Menschen auf anderen Plattformen zu folgen, Beiträge zu lesen und miteinander zu kommunizieren. Zusätzliche Accounts sind nur dann sinnvoll, wenn man die besonderen Funktionen einer bestimmten Anwendung gezielt nutzen möchte.
An diesem Abend möchten wir zeigen, wie dieses Zusammenspiel in der Praxis funktioniert.
Unser Gast Friedhelm @catmanfriedhelm betreibt die Katzen-Webseite gandalfgarfield.de und nutzt das Fediverse , um sein umfangreiches Wissen rund um Katzen zu veröffentlichen und mit anderen zu teilen. Dabei verwendet er unter anderem Friendica, Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube und BookWyrm – immer dort, wo die jeweilige Anwendung ihre besonderen Stärken ausspielen kann.
Friedhelm wird anhand seines eigenen Projekts zeigen,
🐾 wie sich eine klassische Webseite und das Fediverse sinnvoll ergänzen,
🐾 welche Vorteile die verschiedenen Anwendungen bieten und
🐾 wie Inhalte im Fediverse eine größere Reichweite erhalten können.
Natürlich bleibt wie immer genügend Zeit für Fragen, Erfahrungen und einen offenen Austausch.
📍 Online per BigBlueButton
Den Zugangslink stellen wir wie gewohnt rechtzeitig zur Verfügung.
Egal, ob ihr gerade eure ersten Schritte im Fediverse macht oder bereits erfahrene Nutzerinnen und Nutzer seid – ihr seid herzlich eingeladen!
Wir freuen uns auf einen interessanten Abend mit euch.
Bitte gern teilen und weitersagen.

🌤️ Moin ihr Lieben,
die Regenwolken verziehen sich langsam und Stück für Stück zeigt sich wieder der blaue Himmel. 🌤️
So ist es oft auch im Leben. Manchmal ziehen dunkle Gedanken oder schlechte Laune auf, doch sie bleiben selten für immer. Irgendwann reißen die Wolken wieder auf und machen Platz für schöne Momente, ein Lächeln oder eine freundliche Begegnung.
Im Fediverse ist es manchmal ganz ähnlich. Die vielen Beiträge ziehen wie Wolken über unsere Timelines. Manche bleiben kurz stehen und bekommen viel Aufmerksamkeit, andere ziehen fast unbemerkt vorbei. Und doch ist jeder einzelne Beitrag ein kleiner Teil eines großen Ganzen – so vielfältig wie die Menschen, die ihn geschrieben haben.
Vielleicht schenkt gerade heute ein Beitrag jemandem ein Lächeln, macht Mut oder regt zum Nachdenken an. Man weiß oft gar nicht, welche Wirkung die eigenen Worte bei anderen entfalten.
Ich wünsche euch einen angenehmen Tag mit vielen kleinen Momenten, die euch gute Laune schenken – und wenn gerade noch Wolken am Himmel oder im Herzen hängen, dann mögen sie bald weiterziehen. 🌿😊
Unrefined #Fediverse / #Mastodon idea: have a platform (with at least one instance managed by a trustable structure) to host all accounts from recently shut-down servers. Read only, likely no posts, just backups of profile data.
1. Enable users (authentified with their email?) to download their following/followers/etc data even after their server closed.

Der Bürgerantrag zur Nutzung des #Fediverse in #Bonn hat es auch in den General-Anzeiger geschafft: https://ga.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/bonn-buerger-fordern-fediverse-statt-instagram-und-co_aid-150361831
@ulrichkelber habt ihr dem GA auch nahegelegt, selbst hier Präsenz zu zeigen?
Guten Morgen ins #fediverse Ich wünsche euch einen guten Start in den Tag
So, die nächsten drei Tage dann Frühdienst ☺️

Thanks to this useless post wanting to block something they don't like on personal standards of what is substance to the entire #FediVerse I found a place to buy something I really was looking for for my self hosting homelab at $40 off. I didn't have to Google, look at Reddit spaces, etc. just was made aware of the account by this post alone in the image. Yeah, being able to find products without all the tracking, personal data risks, etc is pretty substantial. I'll be the judge of what is substance to me.
BTW, I support commercial purpose accounts. From photographers selling their photographs, to artists, painters, musicians selling their art and crafts, to Flohmarkt Craigslist like federated platform, podcasters, authors and writers using platforms that are Fediverse based or capable with monetized elements... Even accounts that post this type of daily wire in the image. Maybe someday, businesses will be plentiful and a good coupon or sale will come my way.
I removed the account name in the image to prevent dogpiling...

@LokiSchmidtStiftung
Das sind ja interessante Neuigkeiten aus der Gerüchteküche!
Seit die Stiftungen im #Fediverse sind, verfolge ich viel genauer, was sie so tun.
Ich finde Stiftungen so spannend, weil in ihnen oft der Geist und die Haltung der Stifter:innen weiter lebt; das ganz oft zutiefst humane, geerdete und auch visionäre Werte.
Die Karl-Schlecht-Stiftung aus Aichtal könnte man noch ansprechen. Den Gründer durfte ich persönlich kennen lernen.
Retro.pizza is a nerd culture Mastodon server where we strive to uphold the values of the fictional heroes we admire: to value diversity like the X-Men, to be as kind as the Doctor, to defend the weak like Optimus Prime and fight against fascism like Princess Leia.
This server has a post size of up to 1024 characters.

am i still welcome here? Just wanted 2 share where i went and I went to the Simala Shrine just myself because the bus fare was seemingly increased highly compared last time.
Light up some candles and prayed solemly for both my deares & beloved; My Mom (I missed her so much😢) & also to my cousin Yureii @nekoow7
I wish everybody a good #tuesday!

Efforts for promoting the #fediverse need to recognise that, for a first impression, a gazillion options is too much and just one is too little.
Maybe aim for two. You like chocolate or strawberry? You can even have both.
I built this onboarding tool into FediDB.com last year, but it could use some work.
Anyone want to help improve it?
Hach wie gut,
auch die @LokiSchmidtStiftung hat den Schritt ins Fediverse gemacht und ist #NeuHiier
All die Stiftungen hier im #Fediverse zu haben ist so ein wichtiges Signal!
RE: https://vis.social/@kristinHenry/116877201233209336
The #Fediverse may soon need a social vouching system.
“Who on our #Mastodon instance or one with which we federate would be willing to confirm that you’re a human?”
(There's probably better wording for that question, but still….)
a really smart guy decided to bring #fediverse to #deltachat
stay tuned. this is lit as af!

It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

Whenever people may ask me where I usually hang out nowadays, away from traditional #SocialMedia, i.e. the #Fediverse, I'm going to point them to this fine piece of work by @dansup and entice them to dive in & join us!
The waters are lovely ... 👌🏻😎

I just discovered the Fediverse (English) Wikipedia page has a huge section on AT Protocol and I question why. It seems like excessive promotion of Bluesky and its protocol that is not compatible with ActivityPub, both technically and in spirit. Illustrating bridging isn't the same as compatibility. Might as well add sections for other random network protocols like XMPP (Jabber).

Ozoned makes nice video interviews of ordinary people from all across the Fediverse. You can follow at:
➡️ @ozoned@stream.firesidefedi.live (livestream)
➡️ @ozoned@tubefree.org (VODs of the livestream)
Don't worry if these accounts look blank to you, that just means no one from your server has followed them yet. Follow and the stream notices and videos will start gradually showing up on your server too.

I've been back and forth a few times but figured I should fire up another one.
Hello #Fediverse and #GamepadClub
I'm Liam, 40-ish-ish Brit and usually goes by the online moniker of "Guillin"
I live in #England and I'm into #Gaming (mainly #WoWClassic #Hearthstone and #Civ6). I like watching #Cricket and occasionally #football
I'm also exploring ways of using #technology in a more intentional manner.
Anyhow, feel free to say hello!

I generally agree with the sentiment that the fediverse is "big enough" and that it doesn't need to "grow", in terms of how many people are here.
That is, if we can grow the diversity of our community and at the same time kick out the gatekeepers.
