Here's an idea I'm playing with: a semi-customizable fediverse invitation page.

Example: https://invite.jointhefediverse.net/?server=hachyderm.io&apps=1,2,3,5

So a neighbor that lives next door to me brought me over some dinner. You know I tell you sometimes it's amazing at least to me it is when people show a genuine act of kindness. I really needed that right now, as I am currently running low on food until this storm on the East Coast passes and I can safely get out. #kindness #help #healing #mentalhealth #food #cooking #fediverse

yet another reason to get off ex-twitter & come to #Mastodon in the #fediverse 😁💙

Can we design social media better to make it safe for young people and marginalized groups? How about a default setting that the OP must approve all replies, or at least the replies of non-followers. Rejected replies are automatically reported.

My previous post made me wonder: Which EU country has the largest presence on the #Fediverse? Do we have any statistics?

I have the impression that the German-speaking community is stronger than the French one, but I'm biased because I follow more topics about the country I live in.

I don't believe Italy and Spain have a strong presence here.

#France #Germany #Italy #Spain #EU

There are a lot of threads about this depressing article:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse

It supports the idea of a social media ban for under-16s.

I also don't want to see children exposed to offensive, dehumanizing "content", but I am wondering why a ban is the cure. The examples the writer cites are all examples of simply unacceptable speech. If the social media platforms had effective moderation, this would not be a problem. If every instance of misogyny and other hate speech was taken down, and abusers got reliably suspended and banned, the experience of girls and minorities on these platforms would be infinitely better. The people doing the hate might be pushed to reconsider their behavior.

Instead we will take away internet freedom from young people and force identity verification on everyone, undermine VPNs and so on. Why? Because that will be easier and cheaper for the tech giants.

Don't ban girls from social media. Ban the abusers.

Wow, Fediverse!
I had so many interactions over this weekend, that I'm sadly confident that I missed at least one reply (maybe more). The point is, this is what I dreamed that social interactions online could be. Never really found it until now and here.
Thank you.

Well I had fun getting back in to the swing of things with the Albums of the year as chosen by the #fediverse #blog series so let’s get the ball rolling on another one! So, what’s your favourite album from 1989? Name as many albums as you like, just make it clear what your ultimate submission is. Previous years in the next post.

This may be the most important thread I've seen in the #Fediverse this year. We (heh, Westerners) really need to be reading more of the blogs of non-Westerners; the world is a large place and should be embraced as one.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:

• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

Diagram. Interoperability in practice. A chart with a horizontal axis that goes in 2 directions. On the left it moves towards chaotic grassroots growth, and on the right side towards open standards adoption. The Y-axis indicates level of complexity. The center indicates a low level of complexity. On the left side of the axis we first find the ActivityPub open standard, with a relatively low complexity level. However the prevailing method to evolving the ecosystem is driven by post facto interoperability, where tech debt and protocol decay is introduced and accepted, which must be refactored and evolve alongside the open standard. Since this doesn’t happen, the fediverse grassroots environment is shifting more to the left into non-lineary increasing accidental complexity. Deviating more and more from the ActivityPub standard and the promise that it holds to offer the Future of Social networking. On the right side, to contrast against fediverse, we find the Solid Project led by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, which is based on a whole range of W3C Linked Data related open standards and draft documents. There is no grassroots movement that drives progress, but a steering committee. Progress is restrained by open standards adoption and support. Higher levels of interoperability require more rigour and formal standardization, and this also leads to non-linear growth of, in this case, engineered complexity. Solution developers have to wait for many standards to mature, leading to inertia.

I already wrote about caching here.
Now I extended what I cache a bit.
This was because after enabling the option to proxy media, I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).
There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodon api or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2.0 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs. 🙂 (I guess it is actually irrelevant for the system resources)
This is the updated setup:
Enable the relevant modules:

a2enmod expires cache cache_disk

Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up the old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
Then add this to the httpd Virtualhost config:

<LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0">
CacheEnable disk
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"
</LocationMatch>

The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac set no-cache on that location and mod_expires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as mod_expires would. (I use mod_expires because it will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expires header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )

Guten Morgen ins #fediverse ​​
Wir stecken hier in einer Wiederholungsschleife fest. Es ist grau und es regnet mal kräftig und ansonsten nieselt es. Täglich grüßt das Murmeltier oder so. Naja, dann wird es heute ein entspannter gemütlicher Tag.

Ich wünsche euch ebenfalls einen gemütlichen Sonntag. Habt es fein heute 🤗💚

#Sonntag ❤️

1/ Der Anfang des Artikels war gut, aber dann wird wieder versucht, Argumente für #SocialMedia zu finden.

„Bei Social Media hingegen ist es keine realistische Option, nicht damit anzufangen. Die Plattformen sind längst viel zu sehr in unserem Leben verwurzelt. Der Arbeitgeber will via #Tiktok neue Kun­d:in­nen finden, die Wissenschaftlerin hat ihre Community auf #Bluesky, auf Instagram gibt’s das gehypte Kuchenrezept.“

Der Arbeitgeber? Mit 14? Mit 16?

Und Kuchenrezepte gibt es auch auf Web-Seiten.

Das Problem ist, dass wir hier mit Medienjunkies über Verbote reden. Es gibt auch wirklich Mütter, die ihren Kindern Drogen ins Essen mischen …

„Mit dem Erreichen eines gesetzlichen Mindestalters würden also Menschen von einem Tag auf den anderen dieser Parallelwelt ausgesetzt, ohne vorher gelernt zu haben, wie man sie sinnvoll nutzt und die eigene Resilienz gegenüber dem Suchtpotenzial und anderen negativen Effekten schärft.“

Das Argument ist immer noch nicht gut. Warum sollten sie es vorher lernen?

„Dazu kommt: 13-Jährige lassen sich vermutlich noch auf eine elternbegleitete Lernphase zum Umgang mit den Plattformen ein. Aber 15-Jährige? In Australien ist das Mindestalter 16, Frankreich will 15 Jahre.“

Ok, das verstehe ich. Deshalb sollten wir Kindern auch mit 13 den Umgang mit Zigaretten, Bier und Kokain beibringen. Crack am besten auch noch, denn das macht extrem schnell abhängig. Das muss man früh lernen, damit dann später nichts schief geht.

„Sucht ist nur ein Teil des Dramas. Social-Media-Nutzung beeinflusst die Körperbilder, das Schlafverhalten, Politik und Demokratie, soziale Beziehungen. Soll das wirklich so weiterlaufen für alle ab 14, 15 oder 16? Daher ist ein Mindestalter nicht mehr als Aktionismus. Geeignet, um ein paar Symptome ein bisschen zu lindern, aber ohne die Ursache anzugehen. Besser wäre es, das Geschäftsmodell, das auf maximaler Ausbeutung der persönlichen Daten beruht, anzugreifen – flankiert mit Maßnahmen gegen Auswüchse wie Autoplay und standardmäßig aktivierte Push-Nachrichten.“

Ja, gerne. Das machen wir hier ja im #Fediverse. Ich bezweifle nur, dass das Fediverse für 13-Jährige gut ist. Besser als die kommerziellen Plattformen ist es ganz sicher, aber Probleme mit Körperbildern gäbe es hier sicher auch.

Gut ist in jedem Fall, dass wir jetzt mal über all das reden.

First ban on our instance: Keeping the Fediverse clean 🛡️

I just issued the first local account ban today. A huge thank you to the users who reported the profile! Your vigilance is what makes this decentralized space work.

The account in question wasn’t sharing actual content, but rather a "word salad" — a suspicious mix of random keywords and gibberish, typical for spam bots or SEO-farming.

Note to fellow Fediverse admins: I’ve added a detailed reason for the suspension in the moderation notes. If this user attempts to migrate or interact with your instances, you should see the "spam/word salad" flag in your federation panels.

Let’s keep the noise out and the signal strong! 📡

Looking at @movim@piaille.fr and #XMPP and it's got me thinking about how XMPP could be used for our Chat systems across the Fediverse... Like why don't we use it?

I'm not massive into backend coding so I'm probably missing something obvious but it does seem like it's worth a look.

#Mastodon #Fediverse

@reiver I don't think there really are any articles in the #fediverse. There are links, but the texts themselves are read through URIs.

Kurs gesetzt auf Koordinaten 71.1705°N, 25.7820°E (Nordkapp, Norwegen).
Wir werden dort kurz verweilen und über Norwegen und die schönen Landschaftsrouten 🚀 den Rückweg antreten. 4 Wochen Zeit, Planung läuft, wer hat Lust uns auf #mastodon im #fediverse zu begleiten. #neuhier #reisen #camping #wohnmobil Start in 8 Wochen "freu" 😀 #AssimiliertEuropa #WiderstandIstZwecklos

This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves.

So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?

I've seen an ongoing debate between "Note" versus "Article" in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams.

When is something a "Note"‽
When is something an "Article"‽

Personally — I would probably have made the distinction this way.

An "Article" has a title.
A "Note" doesn't have a title.

(In ActivityPub / ActivityStreams, a 'title' seems to tend to get represented in the "name" field.)

In part due to the Twitter exodus and the platform predominantly being made up of free and open source enthusiasts. Consequentially, you'll occasionally see reports from Mastodon instances listed as @admin@instance.tld that include no context with the report or have flagged a post that we cannot act upon as per the guidelines of our instance and even sometimes their own. Such has been the case for us with Fosstodon, though their admin @fosstodon@fosstodon.org were rather chill in our communication.

I've personally found that a lot of online communities tend to have rather broad and opaque rules that are often left up to interpretation. That way, anyone can justify their actions as being in accordance with the spirit of the rule and get away with a lot of abusive stuff in the process. I suspect between that and the tendency of people to rely on moderation to curate their online experience rather than exercising their ability to mute and block may have given way to a culture of vibe-based reporting. Where anything that may not sit right with a person is free game for reporting.

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on.

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

Why has no one written a Fediverse server in Haskell?

I would love to be wrong about this, obviously, but I've looked, and I can't find anything that speaks ActivityPub in Haskell.

Is Haskell just a bad language to use for something like this, and if so then why, or what's the reason if not that?

So I came home from work and sketched out a logo concept for my new domain. Nowhere near the final version... just a rough sketch.
It is probably good that the computer shipping is taking a full week. Had it arrived next day I would have already borked and reinstalled the entire OS at least half a dozen times. It also gave me time to figure out an overall plan for the installations I want to test out.
Of course, I will have to wipe Windows off the system and stick Linux on it. I'll probably start with a WordPress install and get a basic "blog" page up so my domain name actually lands on something. I'll usr Docker to install WordPress. I have zero experience with it, but it seems to be the way to go these days.
I want to do installs of Bonfire and Friendica after that. Friendica, especially, I want to use long term. After a LOT of thought about it, I will install it in a virtual machine. I can make regular clones of the VM drive. So if I bork something doing an update - I can remove the main "drive" and drop in the clone to restore everything quickly.
Anyway, think I have a plan in place. Maybe by the end of next weekend I'll have stage 1 up and running.

@dansup
It'll make people do some authoritarian behaviour. I think the best thing is to put those under a content warning as "OP blocked user" or something like that. This will make things transparent.
And in client side one can choose to not see such warning posts in their feed. This will be a better suggestion IMO.

🇬🇧 INTRO
I'm an English teacher in Italian state schools and I've been on the fediverse for at least 7-8 years, during which I have moved instance twice (this is my my third).

I knit , read Tarot 🃏 (mainly for myself), I love my garden , I feel a little buddhist ☸️ and a little something else altogether ☯️, I've been vegan and antispeciesist for the past 12 years

I take part in eco-veg-transfemminist assemblies trying to change this shitty world we live in. I swing between total despair and the willingness to put my energies to make things a little better.

Moby Dick is my favourite book, and I generally enjoy 19the century US literature.

I've had a blog since I was about 20.

I am back to Mastodon!
After I ran my own instance for a while and then using threads for some bizarre reason, I am back to Nerdculture.de ♥️

I am Half Korean, Half German, based and born in Berlin, and I talk a lot about food. I work as a Technical Artist / 2D Animator.

And yes, also political posts.

Mission Dezentralität: Mastodon stellt Roadmap für die kommenden zwei Jahre vor

Berlin/San Francisco – In einer Zeit, in der das Vertrauen in zentralisierte Social-Media-Giganten schwindet, setzt Mastodon zum nächsten großen Entwicklungssprung […]

https://netguide.io/news/de/2026/02/20/mission-dezentralitat-mastodon-stellt-roadmap-fur-die-kommenden-zwei-jahre-vor/

The landing page of our Mastodon instance burningboard.net is now bilingual, offering not only German but also English for our international visitors.

It features introductions to Mastodon and the Fediverse, helpful information for newcomers and people coming from the "birdsite" as well as information about our philosophy, rules and more.

Internationalise The Fediverse

We live in the future now. It is OK to use Unicode everywhere.

It seems bizarre to me that modern Internet services sometimes "forget" that there's a world outside the Anglosphere. Some people have the temerity to speak foreign languages! And some of those languages have accents on their letters!! Even worse, some don't use English letters at all!!!

A decade ago, I was miffed that GitHub only supported some ASCII characters in its project names. There's no technical reason why your repo can't be called "ഹലോ വേൾഡ്".

Similarly, I'm frustrated that Mastodon (the largest ActivityPub service) doesn't allow Unicode usernames and has resisted efforts to change.

So I built a small ActivityPub server which publishes content from an Actor called @你好@i18n.viii.fi - it is only a demo account, but it works!

Some ActivityPub clients report that they are able to follow it and receive messages from it. Others - like Mastodon - simply can't see anything from it. Take a look at the replies on Mastodon to see which services work. You can also see some of its posts on the Fediverse.

What Does The Fox Spec Say?

The ActivityPub specification says:

Building an international base of users is important in a federated network. Internationalization

I can't find anything in the specifications which limits what languages a username can be written in. But there are a few clues scattered about.

The user's @ name is defined by preferredUsername which is:

A short username which may be used to refer to the actor, with no uniqueness guarantees. 4.1 Actor objects

There's nothing in there about what scripts it can contain. However, later on, the spec says:

Properties containing natural language values, such as name, preferredUsername, or summary, make use of natural language support defined in ActivityStreams. 4. Actors

So it is expected that a preferred username could be written in multiple scripts. Which implies that the default need not be limited to A-Z0-9.

The ActivityStreams specification talks about language mapping.

Finally, the ActivityPub specification has some examples on non-Latin text in names.

So, I think that it is acceptable for usernames to be written in a variety of non-Latin scripts.

But What About...?

There are usually a few objections to "Unicode Everywhere" zealots like me. I'd like to forestall any arguments.

What about homograph attacks?

Well, what about them? ASCII has plenty of similar looking characters. I doubt most people would notice when a capital i is replaced by a lower L - and vice-versa. Similarly the kerning issue of an r and n looking like an m is well known. Are mixed language homographs more dangerous? I don't think so.

What if people make names that can't be typed?

Well, what if they do? Maybe not being found by people who can't type your language is a feature, not a bug. But, anyway, clients can let users search for other people, or copy and paste their names.

What about weird "Zalgo" text?

It is up to a client to decide how they want to render text input. The "problems" of strange Unicode combinations are well known. This is not a hard computer-science problem.

What about bi-directional text?

The spec makes clear this is allowed.

Do people even want a username in their own script?

I have no evidence for this. But I bet you'd get pretty frustrated if you had to switch keyboard just to type your own name, wouldn't you? In any case, why can't I have a username of @😉

What's Next?

If you build ActivityPub software, give some thought to the billions of people who don't have names which easily fit into ASCII.

If your software can see @你好@i18n.viii.fi and its posts, please let me know.

My old folks want to break free from #facebook, and i'm helping them get started on the #fediverse. Yay!
Till now I've made them accounts on #mobilizon for groups and events, #loops for short-form video, and #peertube for long-form video.
Now they're getting a #mastodon account to tie it all together, and make conversation.

Question is; on which mastodon instance should they sign up, and who should they follow?
Their main interests are icelandic horses, sheep, sheep dogs / herding dogs and general small-scale animal husbandry. They live in arctic Norway, and their english language is decent.

I've found no starterpacks of accounts about farming, rural life, sheep husbandry, horse riding or dog training. (https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/)

Could y'all help them get a great start to federated living by giving some recommendations?

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Am Samstag ist das Linux Desk dran und kommt dann naechste Woche.

Falls ihr Fragen zu HW/SW habt, immer her damit!

Eine Totale eines gut ausgestatteten Schreibtisch-Setups für Content Creation. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein Ultrawide-Monitor, der eine Webseite (wahrscheinlich einen Blog) mit der Schlagzeile „CIAO SATYA“ anzeigt. Rechts daneben steht ein Laptop auf einem Ständer, auf dem der YouTube-Kanal von Sascha Pallenberg geöffnet ist. Unter dem Hauptmonitor befindet sich ein kleinerer Zusatzbildschirm. Auf der hölzernen Tischplatte mit brauner Lederunterlage liegen eine kabellose Tastatur und Maus. Dominant im Vordergrund ist ein großes Mikrofon an einem Schwenkarm platziert. Links davon steht ein Audio-Interface oder Stream-Deck, flankiert von einem schwarzen Lautsprecher und kleinen Sukkulenten-Pflanzen. Auffällig ist ein roter Glücksbringer-Anhänger (mit einem Hasen-Motiv), der links am Gestänge hängt. Rechts auf dem Tisch liegen weitere Gadgets, darunter eine Sony PSP und ein kleiner Ventilator.

In den 5 Jahren meines #Twitter Burner/Recherche Accounts, habe ich nur einmal auf einen #Musk Tweet geantwortet... und so sieht nun jeden Tag der Feed aus 🤡

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Wir sollten uns echt jeden Tag daran erinnern, wie gut wir es hier haben 🫶

Ein Screenshot einer App im Dark Mode, der einen News-Feed (vermutlich von der Plattform X) unter dem aktiven Reiter „For You“ zeigt. Unter der Überschrift „Today's News“ werden drei Schlagzeilen aufgelistet, die sich auffälligerweise alle um Elon Musk und seine Unternehmen drehen. Die Meldungen lauten im Einzelnen: „Elon Musk's 2023 'Go F* Yourself' Clip Resurfaces with Fan Praise“** (Trending now · Entertainment · 278 posts). „Tesla FSD Saves Owner Who Passed Out from Allergic Reaction on Freeway“ (13 hours ago · News · 31K posts). „Musk Highlights Grok-ChatGPT Split on SAVE Voter Bill“ (9 hours ago · Other · 10K posts).

I'm sure this has been asked in the wider #fediverse but my search-foo isn't that great here.

My WoW guild needs to get off #discord and I'm looking at Teamspeak for one aspect, but it's time to bring back a good Forum.

Is phpBB still a solid solution? Is there anything else out there that is better/modern? #BraingBackForums #forumsoftware #discordmigration

Removed Gmail from my bottom the screen links on my Pixel phone.

Facebook immediately jumps onto it's spot.

Me : "yeah not you, Facebook" and immediately drags Tusky into its position.

As is #fediverse custom, my short #introduction follows -

USian #expat now living in NE/Central #thailand, former social worker, #GenX, #enby, #AuDHD, less and less opinionated as I get older, lovers of #cats and #catsofmastodon

I choose joy over misery, liberty over debt slavery, radical acceptance over futile struggle, nature over tech, and all things smol vs oversized (except whales)

If you read this like a description of original sin, you're still welcome to follow. I only follow those who interest me, regardless of similiar beliefs/traits/interests.

Good Morning #Fediverse #tzag

I Guess I’m now the first ever Indiekit Instance on the #fediverse

Thanks to Fedify

I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and experties) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

So far I have on my list:

"Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverse"

"Mastodon is running "onboarding experiments" to test ways to improve the new user experience, starting with default server recommendations. New users on the decentralized social network Mastodon could soon have an easier time getting started."

Today @mkljczk introduced a proposal for MAEPs (Mastodon API Enhancement Proposals) which would be similar to the FEP process but for converging on API schema for servers that are not Mastodon but who are using the Mastodon client API

Google Maps has introduced a limited view for signed out users — hiding reviews, hours data, and many photos and making it all around a much less useful tool. Reminds me that we are the product here!

Is anyone working on a federated or otherwise open system for adding reviews and other helpful information to maps? That would be incredible and I’d contribute right away. #fediverse #dreams

Ein knappes Jahr seit dem Wechsel ins Fediverse. Was mir fehlt: Austausch mit Künstlern und Kollegen aus Literatur und Show. Wo finde ich die? Gibt es Gruppen? Oder nur Listen? Wenn ich #kabarett oder #autorin eingebe, finde ich nur eine Handvoll Einträge. Fühle mich ein bisschen verloren hier. Was ich nicht vermisse: Werbung, Filter und "Schaut-her-wie-geil-mein-Leben-ist"-Posts.

anyone building or thinking of building a fediverse equivalent of linkedin?

@smallcircles @django @evan just saw this in the #fediverse-devs:matrix.org room

@django @evan @liaizon

Hey, this is great. It is so nice to see the uptick of interest in the #C2S part of #ActivityPub. Very uplifting and gives me hope for the future of #fediverse.

I really liked your #FOSDEM presentation, and thank you for mentioning my humble list. They are just notes atm, but I will try to keep them up-to-date. I just made a bunch of updates..

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-experience/issues/130

Would love to hear more on what are the particular plans and goals for your project in the near future?

@BlumeEvolution oh, es wird wieder Kaffee gebrüht am Morgen? Sehr schön dann steigt der Suchtfaktor des #fediverse schon wieder spürbar an
