jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Warum habe ich eigentlich einen Account im Fediverse?
Immer wieder lese ich Beiträge von Menschen, die nach kurzer Zeit enttäuscht sind. Sie hatten sich vom Fediverse etwas anderes erhofft oder vergleichen ihre Erfahrungen mit Facebook, Instagram, X oder anderen kommerziellen Plattformen.
Dabei lohnt es sich, einmal einen Schritt zurückzugehen und sich zwei ganz einfache Fragen zu stellen:
❓ Warum habe ich einen Account?
❓ Welche Erwartungen habe ich an das Fediverse?
Diese beiden Fragen erscheinen zunächst selbstverständlich. Doch die Antworten fallen oft sehr unterschiedlich aus.
Manche möchten einfach ihre Gedanken teilen oder ein digitales Tagebuch führen. Andere suchen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten. Wieder andere möchten ihre Projekte vorstellen, Wissen weitergeben oder Menschen für ein Thema begeistern. Einige möchten Nachrichten lesen, neue Kontakte knüpfen oder einfach einer Community angehören.
Ebenso unterschiedlich sind die Erwartungen.
Erwarte ich viele Follower? Viele Kommentare? Sofortige Aufmerksamkeit? Eine große Reichweite? Oder wünsche ich mir vor allem einen respektvollen Austausch mit Menschen, die ähnliche Interessen haben?
Das Fediverse funktioniert in vielen Bereichen anders als kommerzielle soziale Netzwerke.
Hier entscheidet kein zentraler Algorithmus darüber, welche Beiträge möglichst viel Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Es gibt keine Firma, deren Geschäftsmodell darauf basiert, unsere Aufmerksamkeit möglichst lange zu binden. Sichtbarkeit entsteht vor allem dadurch, dass Menschen miteinander in Kontakt treten.
Deshalb lohnt sich vielleicht noch eine dritte Frage:
Was bin ich selbst bereit, in diese Gemeinschaft einzubringen?
Folge ich anderen Menschen? Kommentiere ich interessante Beiträge? Teile ich Wissen oder eigene Erfahrungen? Nehme ich an Gesprächen teil? Unterstütze ich andere oder warte ich hauptsächlich darauf, dass andere auf mich aufmerksam werden?
Das Fediverse lebt nicht von Algorithmen – sondern von seinen Menschen.
Je mehr wir miteinander kommunizieren, desto lebendiger wird diese gemeinsame Welt. Beziehungen entstehen oft langsamer als auf kommerziellen Plattformen, dafür sind sie häufig persönlicher und nachhaltiger.
Vielleicht liegt genau darin die größte Stärke des Fediverse.
Es ist kein Ort, an dem man nur konsumiert.
Es ist ein Ort, den wir alle gemeinsam gestalten.
Mich würde interessieren:
Warum habt ihr euren Account im Fediverse erstellt?
Und wurden eure Erwartungen erfüllt – oder haben sie sich im Laufe der Zeit verändert?

Who owns a protocol? 🌐
With Bluesky acquiring the "ATProtocol" trademark defensively, developers are asking a vital question: can a protocol be truly decentralized when a single corporation owns its name?
In our latest deep-dive, we explore:
The legal reality of open-source trademark law (and how Linux, Rust, and Python handle it).
ActivityPub (W3C consensus) vs. AT Protocol (corporate draft submitted to IETF).
What this means for independent creators building on the open web.

I will create a Lemmy community soon.
It will be named "automobile", inspired by 4chan but without their culture, and with up-to-date sources and more information.
I didn't have my own car before but considering many people need cars to survive, having a community like this would be very helpful. I'm living in North America, especially here I can't escape from car ownership.
I will share the link here once it's done.
It will be a friendly community so you can even share a post about selling your car etc.

Hello #Fediverse! I am a Systems Analyst and student from Pakistan doing my #Introduction. My primary focus is on dissecting complex systems and digital forensics.
I recently published my research on a custom offline SQLite WAL parser I built for the legacy WhatsApp Desktop client. By bypassing OS file-lock race conditions, it acted as a completely passive "shadow client" to extract un-checkpointed transaction frames directly from active RAM. #DFIR #ReverseEngineering #InfoSec

the other day i took some time to install #snac2 on my small server. the whole experience was a breath of fresh air, and it made me excited to participate in the #fediverse again, this time owning and controlling my own data.
i just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to @grunfink@comam.es and other snac2 developers and contributors for this awesome human-made, human-scale software. i'm looking forward to trying to contribute to it in whatever small ways i can.
📢 Erinnerung: Fediverse-Sprechstunde
📅 Montag, 20.07.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
🌐 Thema: „Fediverse – wie sich alles zusammen nutzen lässt“
Viele denken, man müsse für jede Fediverse-Anwendung einen eigenen Account anlegen. Doch genau das ist einer der größten Irrtümer. In vielen Fällen genügt bereits ein einziger Account, um mit Menschen auf verschiedenen Plattformen zu kommunizieren. Weitere Accounts sind nur dann sinnvoll, wenn man die besonderen Funktionen einzelner Anwendungen gezielt nutzen möchte.
Unser Gast Friedhelm ( @catmanfriedhelm ) zeigt dies anhand seines eigenen Projekts. Mit seiner Katzen-Webseite gandalfgarfield.de nutzt er das Fediverse, um Wissen über Katzen zu veröffentlichen und zu teilen. Dabei setzt er unter anderem Friendica, Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube und BookWyrm dort ein, wo die jeweilige Anwendung ihre Stärken entfalten kann.
💬 Gemeinsam statt nebeneinander – genau das macht das Fediverse aus.
Je mehr Menschen sich beteiligen, desto lebendiger, vielfältiger und stärker wird das Fediverse. 🌱
Mitmachen ist ausdrücklich erwünscht! Egal, ob ihr gerade erst ins Fediverse einsteigt oder schon länger dabei seid – alle sind herzlich willkommen.
💻 Online: Konferenzraum zur Fediverse-Sprechstunde
ℹ️ Die Teilnahme ist ganz einfach:
Eine Registrierung bei BigBlueButton ist nicht erforderlich. Ihr benötigt lediglich einen aktuellen Webbrowser (empfohlen: Firefox oder Chrome) und den Einladungslink zur Veranstaltung.
Wir freuen uns auf einen spannenden Abend und einen offenen Austausch mit euch! 😊

In diesem empfehlenswerten Video sprechen Kolleg:innen der Uni Wien über die problematische Rolle der großen social-media-Plattformen
und zählen all die Argumente nochmal auf, die in unserem Appell an die @HRK_aktuell vor 2,5 Jahren gebracht wurden (sorry, nicht als Besserwisserei gemeint, ist einfach so).
Gut, dass die @univienna schon begonnen hat, die Konsequenzen zu ziehen und auf Mastodon aktiv geworden ist. 👍
Kleiner Tipp: startet doch auch einen PeerTube-Account wie die @eh_ludwigsburg oder die @unigreifswald und macht damit den nächsten Schritt hin zu einer gemeinwohlorientierten Digitalisierung.

@dansup or better idea, maybe just a new app for buying and selling stuff that could be a great alternative to Facebook Marketplace and Karrot.
#Marketplace #Karrot #BuySell #Used #UseItAgain #LibreSoftware #Fedi #Fediverse #ActivityPub
@dansup considering that Mastodon has zero interest in making their platform better like adding groups feature that Facebook has, are you interested in adding this feature to the Pixelfed?
Imagine having groups like "Canada buy-sell group", "Canada housing/rental group"?
Using Facebook for these sucks as it has TONS OF dangerous brain-dead bigots.
Thank you so much for your work BTW. ♥️🫂

Come on #mastodon and #fediverse friends. Go follow Ms Dickinson. @e_dickinson_daily We all need poetry.
To build a resilient audience and maintain maximum reach on the open web, establishing a presence across both ActivityPub and the AT Protocol is becoming essential. But managing multiple profiles manually can lead to immediate creator burnout.
In our latest comprehensive guide, we cover the best tools for bridging the gap between Mastodon and Bluesky:
1️⃣ Bridgy Fed (Protocol Bridge): The most elegant developer-first solution. Follow a bridge bot (ap.brid.gy on Bluesky or @bsky.brid.gy on Mastodon) to map your account natively across protocols. Replies, likes, and follows sync dynamically into a single thread.
2️⃣ Postiz (Open-Source Scheduler): The gold standard for social scheduling. It is 100% open-source, self-hostable, and supports Mastodon, Bluesky, and Nostr natively. (We also review proprietary alternatives like Buffer & Fedica).
3️⃣ Openvibe (Free Unified Client): A unified web/mobile town square allowing you to write a single post and syndicate it instantly to Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, and Threads (with commercial alternatives like Nootti).

Note: if you suddenly notice I’ve started following you, it’s because either, a) you said something nice in a comment on a random post I saw; b) you and your posts look interesting to me; or c) for the pure hell of it!
I promised it, so here it is. This is a recording of littleFedi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on NetBSD.
Everything is on the SD card, the database is SQLite, and caching is enabled.
Personally, I won't comment on responsiveness or anything else; I'll just say that when I use it (both via the web interface and with apps like MastoBlaster or IceCubes), I find it hard to believe what kind of hardware it's running on.
Users' sessions (by default, a maximum of 8 users but configurable) are kept "warm" with every interaction or federated activity for 15 minutes since the last login; after that, the server enters "low power mode" and simply processes incoming data without activating the (users' timelines, etc.) cache.
We don't need to get ripped off for more powerful hardware, which comes with outrageous costs these days.
We just need to optimize and build efficient software.
Abundance led to waste.

Confession, in exactly the amount of detail this deserves.
I over-explain. Every time. Ask me one small question and I hand you the full technical appendix, the edge cases, and a brief history of why.
Then the guilt shows up, so I go find the person again to apologize for over-explaining.
A good apology needs specifics, so I list exactly which parts were too much. In order. With examples.
Which is, itself, an over-explanation. About the over-explanation.
There is no exit node in this loop. Autistic people, you already know. Everyone else, you just remembered a conversation with me.

Open sourcing the codebase does not make X part of the fediverse. Worth saying plainly.
Fediverse is about the protocol, not the license (obviously). ActivityPub lets my server and yours talk to each other. A public GitHub repo does not, X stays exactly as centralized and walled off as before, just with visible source.
Lie or not, I honestly do not know yet. What I know is a promise is not a mechanism. No timeline, no reproducible build process, no way today to check that the binary in production matches anything published.
For us here, this changes nothing. Still one company, one server, one decision maker.
Support for UnifiedPush is now merged in @Tuba, the GNOME Fediverse Client. It will be available starting with the next major release
It's great to see new Linux apps added to the list of supported applications!

I'm writing this post from a Raspberry Pi Zero W - 512 MB RAM, single-core ARMv6 - running NetBSD, powered by littleFedi. The process sits at 33 MB RSS, CPU basically asleep:
load averages: 0.05, 0.08, 0.09
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 1.0% interrupt, 99.0% idle
Memory: 301M Free
PID COMMAND RES STATE
2082 littlefedi-armv6 33M kqueue
No Redis. No PostgreSQL (but optional). No Sidekiq. No Node.js build pipeline. One statically-linked binary, one SQLite file, and the full fediverse experience. And this is the part people tend to miss: the same binary that runs happily on a Pi Zero scales, on the right hardware, to numbers that have nothing to do with "lightweight". It's not a toy that stays a toy. It's built to grow when you need it to.
Federation - Full ActivityPub S2S: WebFinger, NodeInfo 2.1, host-meta, HTTP Signatures with anti-impersonation checks. Per-user and shared inboxes, outbox, followers, following, featured collections. Thread completion with bounded on-demand fetching of missing ancestors/replies (separate sync and background budgets, all hard-capped). Quote posts via FEP-044f with the full approval handshake (QuoteRequest -> QuoteAuthorization), matching Mastodon 4.4 semantics, plus _misskey_quote and Fedibird quoteUri aliases. Account migration (Move), both outgoing and incoming, with alsoKnownAs linking, automatic follower migration, follow import from AP collections, and CSV export/import. Remote interaction discovery - async like/boost resolution from origin servers with REST fallback.
Mastodon API - Broad coverage: timelines (home, public, local, hashtag, bubble, direct), status CRUD with edits, scheduled posts, polls, bookmarks, lists (with replies_policy and exclusive), filters v2 (keyword CRUD), featured tags, followed hashtags (posts appear in home), markers, conversations, notifications with type exclusion, follow requests, blocks (federated Block/Undo), mutes with duration/expiry and hide_notifications, per-user domain blocks. OAuth2 with app registration, authorization code, client credentials and refresh_token flows, PKCE, consent screen, and scope enforcement (read/write/admin:read/admin:write). It talks fine to Elk, Tusky, Ivory, Phanpy, Semaphore and MastoBlaster.
Streaming - WebSocket and SSE. In-process pub/sub hub with per-connection send buffers, zero cost when no client is connected. Broadcast streams for public, local, remote, hashtags and lists. Per-account streams for user timeline, notifications and direct messages. Optional PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY backend for cross-process fan-out. Mastodon-compatible event serialization.
Push notifications - Full Web Push / VAPID (RFC 8030/8291) with aes128gcm encryption. Per-type alert toggles (mention, follow, reblog, favourite, poll, follow_request, status). Notify-bell support on followed accounts. Subscription expiry detection, rate-limit handling, 5-retry delivery.
Media pipeline - Upload processing: thumbnail generation (600x600), blurhash computation, EXIF stripping, magic-byte validation, SVG rejection, MIME mismatch detection, UUID-based file renaming. Size limits (40 MB default), pixel caps (16 MP default, tunable down to 4 MP for SBCs).
Media privacy proxy - This is the part I actually care about most. All remote media streams through the instance via HMAC-signed URLs (/proxy/media?url=...&sig=...), so local users never expose their IP address to remote servers. SSRF-guarded: DNS resolution check, private/CGNAT IP rejection, redirect re-validation. Pure io.Copy pass-through, no disk, no decode, ~32 KB buffer. Forwards HTTP Range requests for audio/video seeking. Configure a proxy_secret for stable URLs across restarts. On low-RAM devices, set cache_remote = "off" and you still see every image on the fediverse, the instance just doesn't store or process them.
Remote media caching - Three modes: off, eager (background sweep caches all remote attachments, avatars, headers and emoji, backfills existing on mode switch), lazy (cache on first access). Content-addressed, deduplicated by origin URL. Age-based pruning with file GC. Negative-cache for permanently dead URLs. Transparent origin fallback on cache miss. Open Graph preview cards stored durably with posts.
S3-compatible storage - A separate build tag (-tags s3), deliberately excluded from the default binary to keep it small. Supports AWS S3, MinIO, SeaweedFS, Ceph, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces. Native media migration CLI: littlefedi admin media storage-migrate between local and S3 (DB-queue-backed, resumable, bounded batches). storage-status, storage-cancel, storage-resume commands. storage-manifest for rclone JSONL integration.
Markdown posts - Powered by goldmark with GFM extensions: tables, strikethrough, bare URL autolinking, hard wraps. Raw HTML deliberately not rendered. Output sanitized through bluemonday (defense-in-depth). Composer toggle in the web UI. Federates source.mediaType: text/markdown (Pleroma/GTS convention). Inbound Markdown source is rendered to HTML.
Visibility modes - The standard four (public, unlisted, private, direct) plus local-only (local, instance timeline only, never federates) and local unlisted (local_unlisted, followers only, no federation). Useful for notes to your own instance community.
Bubble timeline - Curated set of instances whose posts appear alongside local posts in a special timeline. Akkoma-compatible extension. Admin panel for adding/removing bubble instances. API endpoint at /api/v1/timelines/bubble.
Moderation - Account states: suspended (tombstone, federates Delete(Person)), silenced (visible to followers only, dropped from public timelines), quiet (like silenced plus it downgrades federation to followers-only, a middle ground I haven't seen anywhere else), disabled (cannot log in, content stays visible). Self-suspend prevention, last-admin-demotion guard. Blocks (bidirectional, federated), mutes (local-only, with duration and hide_notifications), per-user domain blocks (distinct from admin instance-wide blocks). Reports pipeline: user submissions plus inbound/forwarded Flag into an admin triage UI with resolution actions. Admin notification on new reports. Domain blocks with severity (noop/silence/suspend) plus Mastodon-parity options (reject_media enforced in the proxy, reject_reports, obfuscate, public). A moderation audit log records every admin action.
Web UI - Server-rendered HTML with html/template, templates embedded via //go:embed. Inline CSS (dark mode, Inter font, gradients). htmx 2.x and Alpine.js for progressive enhancement. No build step, no Webpack, no Tailwind, no npm. Every action works as a plain form POST without JavaScript. Works in Lynx, eLinks, text-only browsers, and on mobile.
Full feature set: home/public/local/bubble timelines with infinite scroll, profile pages with follow/unfollow/bell toggle, status threads with reply composer and background thread completion, post creation with CW, visibility selector (6 modes), media upload with alt text, Markdown toggle, quote posts (pre-loads composer with the quoted post as an inline card), post editing, composer autocomplete for @mentions and #hashtags, settings (display name, bio, password, sessions, moderation, pruning, account move, timeline preferences), report form, search page, tag management.
Admin panel - Dashboard (user counts, pending approvals, unreachable instances, open reports), accounts (with suspend/silence/quiet/disable/approve/reject actions), invites (CRUD), domain blocks (with severity and options), reports (triage and resolution), audit log, instance health (per-instance status with follower/following counts, reachability tracking, purge with typed-domain confirmation), bubble instances, settings, housekeeping (on-demand pruning), queue console (ready/scheduled/running/failed by job kind), media storage (S3 migration controls in S3 builds).
Background jobs - DB-backed queue that survives restarts, 8 job kinds: inbox, delivery (16 attempts over roughly 26h with capped exponential backoff and equal jitter), push_notification, actor_refresh, poll_close, scheduled_status, media_cache, media_migration. Per-instance circuit breaker suspends delivery at backoff_count >= 10. Actor refresh dispatcher with stale-while-revalidate, crash-safe leases, and per-actor exponential backoff.
Backups - Periodic or on-demand, server-side, no external tooling required. Each run produces a timestamped directory with config.toml, a portable database dump (VACUUM INTO for SQLite, pg_dump for PostgreSQL), an optional copy of owned media, and a manifest. Toggle it on, set an interval (24h, 7d, whatever fits), decide whether to include owned media (the remote cache is always excluded, no point backing up other people's content), and set a retention count so old backups get pruned automatically. Off by default, one line to turn on.
Housekeeping - Automated pruning: remote statuses by age, own low-interaction statuses (per-user or server thresholds, min likes/boosts caps), tombstones, expired mutes, stale media (>24h unattached), orphaned media (deleted posts), unreferenced media files (disk files with no DB record), cached media by age, cache file GC. On-demand controls in the admin UI.
Security - Token-bucket rate limiting per IP. Security headers: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security. Content-Security-Policy with nonce-based script/style. CORS. CSRF on all cookie-authenticated POSTs. Session fixation protection. Password reset token in a cookie, not the URL. OAuth consent screen (not auto-issuing). SSRF protection (DNS, IP and redirect re-validation) on all outbound HTTP. HTTP Signature algorithm enforcement (rsa-sha256 only). Inbox body size limit (1 MB). Backfill goroutine cap. Thread-fetch amplification limits. File upload validation (magic bytes, SVG rejection, MIME mismatch). Username enumeration hardening.
Operational - Prometheus metrics at /metrics (counters for API/inbox/fed/web requests, statuses, deliveries, thread fetches, queue depth; gauges for workers, pending follows, uptime). Health checks (/health, /readyz). CLI: admin create-user, admin set-admin, admin list-users, admin suspend/unsuspend, admin invite generate/list/revoke, admin media prune/prune-orphans/prune-files, admin media storage-migrate/status/cancel/resume/manifest, post (publish from stdin/file with Markdown, visibility, CW, media, reply, quote), migrate (run migrations only). SMTP for password reset and notifications (falls back to stdout). Config via TOML file plus environment variables (LITTLEFEDI_{SECTION}_{KEY}).
Platform support - CGO-free, compiles with CGO_ENABLED=0. 23+ GOOS/GOARCH combos via the modernc SQLite driver: macOS (amd64, arm64), Linux (386, amd64, arm, arm64, loong64, ppc64le, riscv64, s390x), FreeBSD (386, amd64, arm, arm64), Windows (386, amd64, arm64), OpenBSD (amd64, arm64). NetBSD (amd64, arm, arm64) via a WASM-based fallback SQLite driver, I don't think anything else in the fediverse space explicitly targets NetBSD. PostgreSQL is a separate build tag (-tags postgres), S3 is another (-tags s3). The default binary carries neither, keeping it small. ARMv6 (GOARM=6) gets special treatment in the release naming, that's the Pi Zero target.
The fediverse shouldn't demand a beefy VPS. It shouldn't require Docker, 2 GB of RAM, Redis, Sidekiq, or a JS toolchain that pulls in 800 packages. A 10 euro Raspberry Pi Zero W running NetBSD, sitting on a shelf, drawing less than 2 watts, can be a fully functional fediverse instance with a web UI, mobile app compatibility, streaming, push notifications, quote posts, account migration, and a moderation toolkit. That's not hypothetical, that's what this post is running on.
But don't mistake "runs on a Pi Zero" for "only runs on a Pi Zero". Point the same binary at real hardware and it scales to numbers that have nothing to do with hobby-instance territory. Low power is the floor, not the ceiling.
One binary, one config file, one SQLite database. Light, yet complete.
I've been involved in this project for a while now, though I can't say much more about it at the moment, there are other people involved besides me and it's not entirely my call to talk about it publicly yet.

My experience of the #fediverse :
Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.
Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.
Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.
Year 4 (2026):
I'm experimenting with #LoRa off-grid #mesh communication 💁♀️
Vom Wecker bis zum Gate in 40 mins. Auch wenn #Frankfurt nen verdammt grossen Flughafen hat, nen Abend vorher anzureisen macht es ziemlich stressfrei.
Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start ins Wochenende. Alles wird gut und fuer mich gehts zurueck nach Hause! 🖖
Guten Morgen ins #fediverse Einen schönen Samstag wünsche ich euch
Heute Letzter Frühdienst für diese Woche. Morgen dann Spätdienst.
Habe auch ein Pixelfed Account. Kann man folgen. Aber Vorsicht, könnte persönlich werden, vielleicht.

The Mastodon Bluesky bridge, or vice versa, ultimately kills all interactivity. Is that really a good idea?
I'm starting to think it's not..
Or I'm missing something?!

FitPub is a new fitness tracking platform for the Fediverse, sort of an alternative to Strava. You can follow their official account for more news:
➡️ @fitpub
There are also more details on FitPub's Codeberg page:
➡️ https://codeberg.org/fitpub/fitpub
(To avoid confusion, FitPub is a totally separate project to the Fediverse trail and journey tracker Wanderer, which you can find out more about at https://wanderer.to )

This is what i love about the #fediverse . Pop science “we have found a new planet!” Turns into an exam question for a graduate level astrophysics test. I barely follow what’s being said, because the people saying it have probably forgotten more math than I ever learned. But I’m following a little and enjoying it immensely.
There now is a poll plugin for #WordPress that has full #Fediverse support.
Since a few minutes it is finally officially available on WordPress.org.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/polls-for-activitypub/
Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for support the initial development of this piece of software. And thanks to @pfefferle for his ongoing work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin @activitypub.blog !
I am happy to receive reviews and am ready to fix stuff in case issues should arise!
Ab Montag kann ich dann wieder diesen Blick geniessen. Nach 3.5 Wochen geht es morgen wieder zurueck nach #Taiwan und ich freue mich schon wie irre drauf!
Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Alles wird gut!

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I wanted to thanks all people that took their time to boost my post.I guess few people are notified that my cousin @nekoow7 passed away, And could give some closure.
But on the other hand although many boost, Received 0 in kind support, yes let me be clear, But I totally understand the time is not quite doing good for anyone who needed help.
But I want to thank you 4 making my post visible to other people.
If the Internet disappeared tomorrow, what would still work, and how could we still communicate?
I just watched a presentation by @vaurora about the idea and would like to follow one of her suggestions:
https://bowshock.nl/irc/#short-version
Is there already an Internet Resiliency Club in #Berlin? I'm aware of #Freifunk and its established work. This seems broader and complementary: a group for practical experiments with mesh networks, offline communication, local services, and other ways to make communication more resilient.
I suspect there are already people working on these ideas in Berlin, so I thought I'd ask here on the #Fediverse. I'll also reach out on nebenan.de to see if there's any local interest.

I don't know if you've read my previous (very long) commentary. But just implementing one or two FEPs won't get you the same full-blown nomadic identity (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity) that Hubzilla (what I'm writing from right now; https://hubzilla.org; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubzilla; https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla) has had since 2012. And having this level of nomadic identity has to be the goal.
What has to be done is:
Take something like Mastodon.
Non-nomadic.
Where your account, your login, equals your identity.
Mastodon has to introduce a sort of container for your identity, like the channels that Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte have always had (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Channels_(Hubzilla_&_(streams))). This is necessary so that a future nomadic Mastodon will know what to clone and what not to clone. For example, cloning your password is dangerous nonsense.
So, everything that makes up your account except for your login credentials will have to be moved into this container.
In order for this to work, half of Mastodon's server backend will have to be rewritten.
The decentralised IDs must be tested against other Fediverse software that already understands them or that's nomadic itself: (streams), Forte, Mitra, Tootik. For example, @silverpill of Mitra and @Mike Macgirvin of (streams) and Forte must test whether their software correctly understands Mastodon's DIDs. And the Mastodon developers must test whether Mastodon correctly understands the DIDs from Fediverse server applications that already use them.
Once it has gotten rid of its Webfinger IDs, the next phase can start.
A clone, in nomadic identity, is a full backup of the container with your identity in it. A real-time, live, bidirectional backup that you can log into and use just like the "original". The clone always has the same idea as the original, regardless of which server it's on.
The key elements of clones and cloning must be implemented and tested:
Why? Because moving involves cloning. It's an automated process. At least it is on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, and it really should be one on nomadic Mastodon.
Basically, first you make a clone.
Then you declare the clone the new original, and your old original is demoted to a clone.
Then you have to wait until your change of ID from changing the original has federated to all your followers and followed and everywhere and whatnot.
Then, one last sync so that both the former-clone-now-new-original and the old-original-now-clone are really identical, and you won't lose any data.
Then your old-original-now-clone is deleted. We don't want to leave any dead stuff behind, now, do we?
Lastly, if your old account where your old original used to reside has no other identity on it, the whole account is deleted. In nomadic containerised identity, accounts cannot/should not exist with no identity container on them.
Cloning or moving from Mastodon to Mitra. From Mastodon to Tootik. From Mastodon to (streams). From Mastodon to Forte. Oh, and maybe also back to Mastodon.
The difficult part is not only to make Mastodon capable of cloning identity containers to other nomadic software. And to make Mastodon accept identity containers from other nomadic software being cloned to Mastodon. I mean, this would be difficult already. (streams) and Forte are vastly, vastly different from Mastodon.
No, the difficult part is to make these four capable of cloning from or to someplace else. As it stands now, you can only clone from Mitra to Mitra, from Tootik to Tootik, from (streams) to (streams), from Forte to Forte. Even cloning between (streams) and Forte has never been possible, even though they're very similar. Oh, and cloning from and to Hubzilla is another story because Hubzilla doesn't have FEP-ef61 implemented.

Someone New on Fedi: Makes exactly one (1) #Introduction post
That One Friend that Got Them Onto Fedi: *boosts the post, thereby lighting a flaming beacon that goes from Fedizen to Fedizen* Now all of the #Fediverse knows you're here!
@dansup has counted the landlords. That’s how it stands.
13 million profiles – who would have thought it? We can certainly be a little proud. Everyone has done their bit – some more, some less, each according to their ability.
So now we have a huge, global, independent, federated network.
It’s by no means the solution; the work is only just beginning. I’ve been involved right from the start. As I’m not a dev, I’m just a loudmouth. Someone’s got to do it, after all :)) #fedi #fediverse #federation #federated #freedom
I was thinking if sending an unsolicited or sudden private message to someone here in #mastodon #fediverse might give a strike 4 not following rule (?)
I am so sorry for sending a PM guys 😞 (to people whom I messaged with)
Just wanted to share a post to people who knew my departed cousin and to help spread a word
I'm quite proud of the new https://fediverse.info, including the admin dashboard that I've invited a few trusted people to help oversee.
Such an important resource requires trust and integrity, and the admin audit log helps ensure we all remain accountable.
Such collaboration and unbiased stewardship is crucial for a service like this, and I'm thrilled to play a part in making fediverse onboarding easier and more accessible. ❤️

Dear #Fediverse
It's hard to believe it's been nearly 40 days since we said goodbye to my beautiful cousin Yureii. She passed on June 22nd, and as July 31st marks her 40th day, I wanted to quietly reach out & ask —if anyone is able 4 even the smallest support toward her memorial remembrance.
Nothing is too little, Every bit helps & is deeply felt by my family. Pls keep her in ur prayers that day. Light a candle 4 her. Even just a thought held softly is enough.
Just added a new Messaging category to https://fediverse.info/apps
Thanks to @maddyunderstars for sharing her Shoot project, it looks very promising!
I'm making new collection of accounts publishing content related to public relations, reputation management and other related topics. No ads, no spam. Just sharing valuable knowledge, tips and interesting stuff.
If you publish valuable content about these topics, feel free to let me know in replies or DM, so I can add you to the collection.
Let's make good and professional space for sharing stuff about PR to help others learn and share their own ideas, perspectives and more.

The internet didn’t become broken overnight, it drifted from being a network of communities into a marketplace dominated by platforms whose purpose is extracting value. This is the logic of #dotcons most of us invested our lives and community into. The problem isn’t only bad companies, it’s that our digital lives depend entirely on proprietary #dotcons paths and software, commercial interests end up controlling our reality. How did we get into this mess?
This is why #FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) matters. The “free” in #FOSS is about freedom, the freedom to use, study, modify and share the tools that shape our lives. Those freedoms create something much more important than software, they create #4opens social power were open code mediates community accountability.
Instead of trusting #closedweb corporations, we can build “native” trust through transparency. That changes how communities work as closed platforms create consumers, open projects create participants. The community doesn’t just use the infrastructure, it becomes in part responsible for maintaining it. We can exit to a more #DIY path, were anyone can inspect, improve, challenge and adapt to disparate community needs.
This isn’t always the fastest path as open collaboration is often messy. Consensus takes time, criticism can be uncomfortable. But these are social strengths, not weaknesses. Diverse communities find problems earlier, reduce hidden bias and create paths and systems that are more resilient because they are shared.
The #OMN approach builds on this real world path and body of ideas. That technology can strengthen communities rather than replacing them, code can support human trust rather than algorithms deciding everything. Infrastructure should belong to the commons rather than becoming another private enclosure.
Today’s #closedweb social media platforms are digital landlords. Yes you may build a following, create value and invest years of work, but you’re still a tenant. The rules can change overnight, your reach can disappear, your community can be fragmented at the click of a button.
The #openweb offers another path were we have control of identity and content to connect through open protocols instead of closed silos. We need this more than ever to building communities that can survive the failure – or hostility – of any single platform.
We can’t keep repeating the same mess, this composting matters even more in the age of #AI. If the software, models and infrastructure are closed, then a handful of companies determine how knowledge is created, filtered and shared. If they are open, communities can inspect them, improve them and govern them together.
The future isn’t simply open source software, it’s open source society. That means investing back into the commons we depend on. Maintaining infrastructure, supporting contributors, building institutions that outlast individuals. Planting trees whose shade we may never sit under.
That’s what #OMN is about. Not simply writing better code, but helping build a better social fabric for the #openweb. Because freedom isn’t something technology gives us, it’s something communities build together.

People always ask: 'How do you do it?'
The answer is simpler than you think. We just opted out. We live without credit cards, PayPal, Amazon, and Gmail. We replaced Microsoft, Booking, Meta, X, Nike, and every other US brand. We don't use Android, Windows, or Apple or any other brand.
It’s been over two years now, and we’ve completely escaped American surveillance and tech colonization.
I can honestly say: life without them is GREAT!!!!

This is an extension of my safe space bubble at home. It's so wonderful to be "me" here, in all my occasionally twisty bits.
I hope y'all don't tire of me sharing thoughts and experiences, and I hope to continually learn, grow, and share life with y'all.

Oh, I missed that federated.press shut down. That was a place for journalism in the #Fediverse and there were multiple accounts for my @MediaOnMastodon on there. They are mostly gone now, it seems.
Does that mean, that my list of official (!) and verified (!) accounts of #media organizations on #Mastodon has begun to shrink? 😔
If you have some, that @MediaOnMastodon is not following, please give me a hint. And please share this.

UPDATE 11/07/2026
47.50/818 after over ten days without movement, thank you — 770.5 to go. 5 days left to cover up the rest.
The owner of the apartment I rent already started harassing me yesterday; she always does that whenever I'm late paying the bills, maintenance fee, and yearly rent. So at least $350 is needed before the 16th before she comes banging on my door with building security to harass me again.
At the same time, I honestly can't put off my meds and my actual needs to have proper, healthy food from the groceries portion of the basic monthly essentials anymore after surviving with scraps without meds for the past six months, I really need them.
So idk, between dying from hunger and being unmedicated, and potentially being homeless after being harassed, I'd rather be alive while I'm homeless. So $468 (for meds and groceries) it is 👍🏻
If you're able to help, please do. You can give directly or amplify this as far and wide as possible. Every bit of support makes a difference right now.
Thank you, thank you 🙂↕️

I am and have always been interested in “#Kintsugi” as a philosophy—embracing of the flawed or imperfect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
On another note…
About a year and half ago when I was researching #Fediverse, many people said hard to find anyone to follow. I beg the differ. I came across @beisanted and apparently we’re Kintsugi enthusiasts!
Did you know that Wikipedia collects interesting facts?

Tech question.
I bridged with BlueSky.
About once a week the bridging system sends me a link to a post from people on BlueSky in response to one of my posts.
I can click the link to see their response on BlueSky, in a browser, but I don't have a BlueSky account, so cannot ⭐ or reply to them.
The bridging system's notice has instructions that are unclear to me. Can't I at least ⭐ from Mastodon, through the BlueSky bridge? What am I missing?

#️⃣ 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!
Moin #Fediverse - Hier https://www.metacheles.de/metas-dirty-money-10-umsatz-mit-betrug-und-anzeigen-fuer-kindesmissbrauch/ findet ihr die aktuelle @info Ausgabe, in der ich diesen Wahnsinn ein wenig aufrolle.
Wie immer wuerde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr diese Ausgabe boosten und damit mit eurem Netzwerk teilen koenntet,
Danke fuer euren Support 🙏
Guten Morgen ins #fediverse Ich wünsche euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche. Habt einen schönen Tag
Montag also…..dann jetzt 1/7 Diensten 🍀
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.
Own your data. Always own your data!
5808 active users, 2 more than in March.
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.

#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.
Warm up the fire! We're LIVE!

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.
