📢 Wichtige Mitteilung!

Unsere nächste Fediverse-Sprechstunde wird um eine Woche verschoben.
👉 Neuer Termin: Montag, 04.05.2026 um 19:30 Uhr
❗️ (nicht wie ursprünglich geplant am 27.04.)

🌐 Thema: Instanzen – verstehen & selbst betreiben

Was genau ist eigentlich eine Instanz im Fediverse – und warum bildet sie das Herzstück von Plattformen wie Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla oder Sharkey?

In dieser Sprechstunde schauen wir uns das Thema verständlich und praxisnah an – ganz unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anwendung. Du erfährst:

🔹 Welche Rolle Instanzen im dezentralen Netzwerk spielen
🔹 Wie sie miteinander kommunizieren
🔹 Welche Unterschiede es zwischen öffentlichen, privaten und themenspezifischen Instanzen gibt

⚙️ Eigene Instanz betreiben – lohnt sich das?

Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Praxis:

✔️ Technische & organisatorische Voraussetzungen
✔️ Sicherheit, Wartung & Moderation
✔️ Für wen sich eine eigene Instanz wirklich lohnt

💡 Praxisbericht inklusive!
Von den ersten Schritten über typische Stolpersteine bis hin zu wertvollen Tipps für den laufenden Betrieb.

Wir freuen uns auf dich! 🤗

Is there a #fediverse enabled #blog (or something like that) which supports long posts which are regularly extended and treats them like growing threads?

I want to write my daily stories in a way that they can be followed/found from e.g. mastodon, but also be read in one page.

Or maybe I could just teach #silverbullet to publish both the whole page and the latest paragraph to separate systems.

Okay need a bit fedipower especially from those who use GoToSocial: is there any script / project which can find dead profiles you follow?
I mean in Mastodon i remeber there were a page where you could see ho you are following and when they have posted the last time.

I didnt find anythin similiar in phanpy or elk (or i am blind)

Do you know something similiar? I mean not only for removing dead profiles but sometime you dont realize that somebody moved to a new profile and so you could also check that more easy manually.

So please boost if you are okay with that.

RE: https://macaw.social/@andypiper/116453458889456317

This is another good reason why #Mastodon users should spread away from the larger instances - it makes the #Fediverse as a whole less vulnerable.

And instance migration is a relatively straightforward and painless process, and you can take all your connections with you. The only downside is that your old posts will remain on your previous instance.

To all the new users here at https://metroholografix.ca, welcome! It's great to have you on board!

If you're new to the #fediverse, here are some helpful tips:

- you are your own algorithm here: this means you need to search out and follow interesting people and hashtags
- you can follow hashtags here - please do!
- write and pin an #introduction post so others can see and follow you.
- this is a community for ALL - please use #altText on your images and videos
- follow as many people as you can! You will start to have a pretty good timeline once you follow about 100 accounts.

I was just reading a great piece on how the browser wars shaped the internet (https://hackernoon.com/how-the-browser-wars-changed-the-landscape-of-the-internet), and it hit me with a massive wave of nostalgia.

I had been using Opera since my school days. The classic Presto-engine Opera was truly ahead of its time. Does anyone else remember Opera Turbo, Opera Unite, Opera Link, and the original Speed Dial? The competitors had nothing even close to that back then. Yes, websites occasionally broke because of the different engine, but I absolutely loved that browser, even if I couldn't always explain why.

When the original Opera essentially ended with version 12.18, it was a sad moment. But the second I heard about @Vivaldi launching, I immediately jumped on their first Technical Previews. I was so relieved that the spirit of the old Opera didn't actually die - it just reformatted and got a new name.

I have followed them ever since, and lately, I've been using Vivaldi a lot more actively. I cannot recommend it enough.
It is incredibly convenient and customizable, exactly like the good old Opera. I am even planning to buy some of their merch to support the team and spread the word.

If you are looking for an alternative, just give it a try. Even though it uses the same Chromium engine under the hood, the experience is infinitely better than Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Das klingt gut. Ich hoffe nur, dass das Team von Mastodon sich hier sauber mit den anderen Entwicklern von Software für das Fediverse abstimmt und das Ganze koordiniert abläuft. Sonst gibt es ein totales Chaos.
Nur weil die meisten Instanzen im Fediverse Mastodon Instanzen sind sollten die Entwickler nicht arrogant werden und dem Rest des Fediverse ihren Weg aufdrücken, indem sie einfach vollendete Tatsachen schaffen.

Here is something neat:

I maintain a #WordPress blog, and use the #ActivityPub plugin to connect to the #Fediverse .

And it seems that recently this plugin added the option of an extended footer to blog entries. This footer includes both a Fediverse "follow" button and a list of Fediverse Followers.

I think this is very useful because it makes the Fediverse more visible in the world at large - few people out there know what the Fediverse actually is, but many read blogs.

If you use Wordpress, I recommend that you check this plugin out, and use it for your site. You can see the effect here:

If you want to know what my March looked like, this screenshot pretty much says it all.

The funny thing is, I have never been a huge Moby fan. But somehow, his music became exactly what I needed to get through this month.
70 hours of his tracks on repeat simply helped me survive and during the hard days.

When you loop "Natural Blues" 673 times in a single month, it is not just a playlist anymore - it is a lifeline.

🚀 FediSuite v1.2.0 → v1.2.2 released!

Three releases in three days — here's what's new:

Automatic thread splitting (v1.2.0)
Long posts are now split into thread segments live in the composer — at paragraph, sentence, or word boundaries. Full preview included.

Notifications area (v1.2.0)
A dedicated sidebar section for notifications. Supported Fediverse accounts can now load their notifications directly inside FediSuite — no more jumping back to each individual instance.

Full Vernissage support (v1.2.2)
Vernissage is now a first-class platform in FediSuite: account connection, composer rules, photo uploads, publishing, historical import, post-stat refresh, and notifications — all covered. OAuth2 with a dedicated dynamic client registration flow.

Plus a range of bug fixes around thread management, the edit modal, Misskey visibility handling, and notification edge cases.

👉 Website: https://www.fedisuite.com

hi peeps <3 Running a small fundraiser to keep altbot and fuzzies.wtf alive and healthy!

my server storage hit 100% full and took down basically everything. i got it fixed, but it's clear i need more drives before it happens again.

altbot is free, open source, and runs 24/7 generating alt text for anyone on the fediverse who needs it. it's real accessibility infrastructure and i want to keep free.

goal is $500 for a set of used (and tested for good health) enterprise drives off ebay. every little bit helps get there!

#cannabis

Some people say that recreational drug use is depoliticizing, and depoliticized is what our rulers want us to be. This is a bogus analysis.

To generalize about drugs is a mistake. Every drug is different. Each has different effects. In many cases the difference is profound. Each person experiences those effects in their own way. Some are dramatically depoliticizing, others not so much, others still are quite the opposite. I know more about cannabis than I do about most drugs, so I'm going to talk about that.

I've consumed cannabis products most days of the week for my entire adult life. Not only did it not deradicalize me but, like many people, I found the laws about it to be themselves radicalizing. Cannabis brings together people of different cultures who wouldn't otherwise meet each other or imagine that they had anything in common. It's a unifying force. I find it very encouraging that Snoop Dog and Willie Nelson unite in public to campaign against cannabis prohibition. It's a good sign. Anyone anywhere, campaigning in any way possible, against any prohibition whatsoever that was imposed by the state, is a good thing. Cross cultural intersectionality is a force multiplier. All prohibitions are variations on the same theme. The War On (some) Drugs, abortion, vaccines, porn, transrights, consent, and sexwork are all the same issue: Who owns your body, you or the state?

The public's attitude about cannabis is evolving. The propaganda is wearing off. It's been a gradual process. As with all such processes, it is best understood if we look at its history. So I want to share a story with you about something that happened one long hot summer long ago. In the late 60s I lived in NYC's Lower East Side. It was built to be a slum. It stayed that way for a very long time. Originally it was a Jewish majority neighborhood. By the time I got there most Jews had moved uptown, to the outer boroughs, or to Long Island. The neighborhood was mostly hippies and Puerto Ricans, except for 6th Street between 1st Avenue and Avenue A, which was overwhelmingly Ukrainian and very right-wing.

I was a member of an anarchist group of sorts that was based in the Lower East Side. We called ourselves New York Provo, after the Dutch Provos whose chutzpah and ingenuity we greatly admired. We were best seen as a sort of politicized street gang. One guy in the group was a political theoretician named Dana Beal. He later went on to become the brains behind Yippie! Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin were front men, but Dana was the brains.

Dana was the closest thing New York Provo had for a leader. Our meetings were pretty much horizontal. Dana's main role was being our best weed connection. We sold weed to finance our activities. Our main enemy, the US intelligence apparatus was selling heroin and cocaine to finance theirs. We considered ourselves their moral superiors. We were very much opposed to heroin and cocaine. We called them "death drugs" and preached against them. At one point we distributed for free a very limited supply of Ibogaine, an herbal treatment for heroin addiction. We sold weed for money. Then one day, we gave it away for free. This is the story of what happened on that day.

The money we made selling weed we used to pay rent on our office on Avenue A, across from Tompkins Square and on our free store on 1st St, between 1st and 2nd Avenue. We also gave away food and published a daily broadside about stuff happening in the neighborhood.

The back door of the free store led to a tiny yard and chainlink fence. There was a hole in the fence. Directly across East Houston St was Yonah Schimmel's Knish Bakery. We were walking distance from Katz's Delicatessen. Most Jewish residents had moved out of the neighborhood but some businesses remained. A decent nosh was never hard to find.

On November 14, 1967, the Secretary of State Dean Rusk was scheduled to speak in midtown Manhattan. NY Provo staged the first of what came to be called "breakaway marches" in protest. As we had planned, it turned violent immediately.

One night, three weeks later, the cops raided our free store and busted 31 people including many NY Provos and some people just "shopping" for clothes. Dana ran out the back door, dove through the hole in the fence, and escaped down Eldridge St. The first cop to chase him was too fat to fit through the hole and got stuck. He had to be extricated by other cops. This became a local legend.

Earlier that year, Abbie Hoffman had showed up in town and opened his own free store on 10th St. Abbie was always expropriating other people's ideas and labor. He even stole the manuscript for his famous *Steal This Book* from Emmett Grogan. Then he stole the free store idea from us. We didn't hold this against Abbie. We had in fact been discussing plans for "two, three, many" free stores. I personally printed on our Gestetner Abbie's first leaflet in NYC advertising it. The Gestetner was located in our office across from Tompkins Square. At first I had no idea how a Gestetner, or any mimeograph worked. But I did have the manual. With the right tools and manual, anyone can fix anything, as long as they follow directions.

Provos hung out in Tompkins Square. The whole neighborhood did. One day a fight broke out in the park between some Puerto Ricans and some hippies. It wasn't about their ethnicity. It was personal, between individuals. NY Provos knew some of these guys personally. We had a little talk about it with some of them. Eventually all agreed it that was not worth destroying the vibes in the neighborhood over a petty personality clash. We decided to nip this thing in the bud before it had a chance to get out of hand and spoil the summer for all of us.

NY Provo was part Anglo and part Latin. We were all young. It was a unifying factor. Even though I wasn't Latino, I wasn't a hippie, either. To this very day not all white potheads are hippies. I was more of a greaser. I wore a white T-shirt with a pack of Marlboros rolled up in my left sleeve. I combed my hair like James Dean. My fingernails were usually dirty from wrenching on motors and maintaining the ancient Gestetner. A hippie I wasn't. But I did smoke pot and I do like Latin music.

This made me an ideal cross cultural liaison between communities. Everybody in the neighborhood liked me except the 6th Street Ukrainians. They were very conservative and saw me as some kind of commie. I tried to explain the difference, but they didn't want to hear it.

FWIW, there's an excellent book on the role of politically active greasers in Chicago that you should really check out. It's called *Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power: Community Organizing in Radical Times*, by Amy Sonnie, James Tracy, with a foreword by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/11036817-hillbilly-nationalists-urban-race-rebels-and-black-power

I met a couple of the people in this book when they came to New York to scope out the scene, and later when they came to New Haven to help occupy Yale Law School to protest the railroading of Bobbie Seale. They were good people.

NY Provo brainstormed ways to stitch the Tompkins Square denizen communities back together. Ethnic conflict was the very last thing the neighborhood needed. We finally concluded that since two things that both groups liked was music and marijuana, we would throw a pot party in the park. We rented the bandshell ($15 for the afternoon) and recruited six local bands, three Latin and three rock.

The night before a few Provos got high on acid, stayed up all night, and rolled up a pound and a half of joints. We stuffed them into a couple conga drums. One of the more Latin looking Provos had dressed up in the latest Puerto Rican fashion. He strolled into the park with the drums. There were cops all around but they didn't think twice about it, or really even notice. Puerto Ricans often played drums in the park. It was normal.

His name was Carlos Ramirez. Everybody called him "Puerto Rican Charlie". It was his preferred moniker.

Dana had heard about him through neighborhood gossip and sent me to recruit him.

"Charlie?" I asked when we met.

"Puerto Rican Charlie," he answered, and stuck a joint in my mouth. We agreed that there were a lot of Charlies in New York, but he was unique. We hit it off immediately. He was a fluently bilingual and totally bicultural Manhattan native. At 18 he had joined the army. He'd been promised an education. Instead he spent four years guarding an airbase in Germany. As he was being discharged he was approached by a recruiting officer who told him he'd been scammed by a crooked recruiting officer who had since been thrown out of the army. If Charlie would just "sign here" the second recruiting officer promised him a real education this time. Instead he was sent back to Germany to guard a different airbase for four years. By then he hated the government with a deep and abiding passion. He began reading about alternatives. He didn't find Marxism appealing because it entailed what they called "party discipline," which amounted to people telling him what to do. Charlie hated being told what to do. The army had taught him that. When he learned about anarchism he'd found his political home.

At 31 that year, Charlie was the oldest Provo. He usually dressed like a beatnik, with a beret, sunglasses, a sweatshirt, goatee, and sneakers. For this caper he dressed totally Latin and totally blend in stylish. I followed him into the crowd. When we were surrounded and out of sight of the cops, I reached into the drum on his shoulder, pulled out two sacks of joints, and we handed them out. It was a very popular move. It was also the first smoke-in we'd ever even heard of. A splendid time was had by all. There was no more neighborhood in-fighting in the park that summer. There was a bit of a dust up with the cops a month later but that's a quite different sort of event, and a story for another day.

If the #fediverse (or the #atmosphere, same problem) were a startup and I had any say in it, I would make a list of all things that make it hard for it to have larger impact on the world than it currently has, and insist that we systematically work them down.

Because I don't think we are.

Of course, it's not a startup and should not be. It needs to be many projects, none of them dominant, otherwise we'd end up right where we wanted to get away from: centralized social overlords.

Oh boy, just opened Sharkey & I see a lot of the Markdown I tried in my Glitch post doesn't work when shown there.

• Single hash creates bold text in square brackets not even on its own line.
• Double hashes, triple hashes, underlined with three equal signs, underlined with three dashes: all look the same, just bold text.
• Three dashes with no text above doesn't create a horizontal rule, just a line break?
• Lists: nothing is rendered as a list with bullets or numbers, neither separate nor combo: nada, zilch.
• Double grave accents above & below didn't make a code block.
• Underscores did nothing.

What did render:

• hyperlink formatting
• italic, bold, strikethrough, inline code

Social media is effecting my mental health.

I go on Reddit, I see fake statistics like "Israelis have killed 600,000 Gazans" (vs Hamas themselves who claim the number is ~65,000), or outrage articles on Jewish takeovers of schools and neighborhoods.

I go to Youtube and I'm presented with "Evidence that Zionists steal food from other cultures"

I go on the Fediverse and... well you know...

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to three families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Rahaf Jomah (@rahafjomah05)
• Hilen basil (@helynbasil)
• Bilal Mohammed Zeyada (@bilalmzeyada)

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.

💕

Mastodon.Social scheint gar nicht so dezentral zu sein wie alle immer behaupten. Kamen etwa Mastodon.Social Nutzende heute nicht ins Fediverse?

Very cool, @mirlo!

So while mastodon.social is down, one can flex some of that #fediverse power and dust off long forgotten alts :)

Okay mastodon.social seems to be hit by a DDoS Attack. But in contrast to Bluesky, where whole network is down when the main instance has a hiccup,  the impact for me is limited. Thats the strength of real decentralisation!
