    Seems the app does not request local network access. This causes the app to fail to connect when you're connecting to a server that 1) sits behind a reverse proxy within the your phone is on and 2) the local servers resolve the mastodon domain to the local IP address of the reverse proxy instead of whatever external IP the outside world hits. Android's newer more restrictive network permissions cause the connection to silently fail with no message from the client.

      Spend enough time poking around Mastodon instances, looking at who runs the bigger ActivityPub servers, or reading about governments experimenting with decentralized social media, and a pattern starts to show up. A surprising amount of the interesting activity has happened outside the United States.

      Japan, Germany, India, and even China come up again and again in the history of the fediverse. American institutions, meanwhile, have mostly watched from the sidelines while Silicon Valley platforms grew larger and more centralized.

      I went looking for academic research to see whether that impression holds up. The answer is: maybe, but the research I found does not really answer the question I was asking.

      Two studies from Arizona State University looked closely at migration away from Twitter. One focused on the Twitter-to-Mastodon exodus after Musk’s takeover. A later study looked at migration to Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads at the same time. Both examined who left Twitter, why they left, what made them stay on another platform, and how the different platforms shaped user behavior.

      Neither study breaks the data down by country.

      The researchers were interested in behavior, not geography. So if you’re hoping for a clean chart showing “Mastodon users by nation,” you’re going to be disappointed. I was.

      That missing data is worth mentioning because a lot of what gets said about international fediverse adoption, including what I’m about to say, comes from scattered reporting and institutional history rather than good comparative survey data.

      Still, the scattered evidence is interesting.

      Mastodon was reportedly much bigger in Japan than in most other countries for years before many Americans had heard of it. A big part of that came from Pixiv, which launched a Mastodon-based server called Pawoo not long after Mastodon itself appeared in 2016. Pawoo quickly became one of the largest individual servers on the network.

      Germany’s role looks different. Its influence is less about one giant server and more about the institutional side of the project. Mastodon is developed by a German nonprofit. The German state of Schleswig-Holstein runs its own instance through the project. Germany’s Sovereign Tech Fund has also provided more than half a million euros for infrastructure work.

      The European Union went a step further with EU Voice, an official Mastodon instance intended to give EU institutions an alternative to American-owned social networks. The experiment lasted a couple of years before being wound down.

      India has its own chapter in the story. In 2019, nearly 20,000 Indian Twitter users temporarily moved to Mastodon during a dispute over moderation. Homegrown Mastodon-derived services such as Tooter also appeared, although Tooter became controversial over changes it had made to the underlying code.

      China is a very different case. Mastodon has been used there as a way around domestic censorship. That’s not really the same phenomenon as Americans leaving Twitter because they dislike a new owner or recommendation algorithm. For some Chinese users, decentralized social media has been about access to open communication in the first place.

      Australia had another kind of example. Switter was a Mastodon instance built specifically for sex workers. It eventually shut down in 2022 after legal and regulatory changes in Australia and the United States made operating it increasingly difficult.

      None of this proves that the United States lags behind the rest of the world in fediverse adoption. I don’t think the available evidence supports a claim that strong.

      What it does suggest is that institutions and communities outside the US have sometimes treated decentralized social media as something worth building deliberately.

      In Japan, the motivation was partly cultural and community-driven. In Germany and the EU, digital sovereignty played a role. In China, censorship circumvention mattered. In India and Australia, particular communities had reasons to create alternatives that served needs mainstream platforms were not meeting.

      The American experience has looked different. Mastodon tends to get attention here when something goes wrong somewhere else. Twitter changes ownership. A moderation policy changes. Another platform does something users hate. People rush toward Mastodon, create accounts, look around, and some of them stay.

      That is not the same thing as deciding ahead of time that decentralized communication infrastructure is worth having.

      That distinction between reactive migration and deliberate infrastructure-building may be the more interesting question. I just haven’t found the dataset that would let me prove it.

      The broader small web is even harder to pin down. I’m thinking here of Gemini, old Gopher servers, personal HTML sites, webrings, and the various little corners of the internet that never quite accepted that five giant websites should become the internet.

      I have no solid numbers on where those people live.

      My own experience gives me the impression that Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordic countries are overrepresented in those spaces too. That would make some sense given how often those countries appear in open-source and digital-rights communities more generally.

      But that’s a hunch. I can’t point to a study that demonstrates it, and I’d rather call it a hunch than dress it up as data.

      If anyone knows of research that actually maps fediverse or small-web adoption by country, with real numbers behind it, I’d like to read it.

      Until then, this is an observation built from scattered evidence rather than a documented trend. And when it comes to the small web, that may be about as much certainty as the available data allows.

      I tightened the repetition around the research caveat, broke up a few dense paragraphs, and made the central distinction between reactive migration and deliberate infrastructure-building do more of the structural work. I also kept the speculation clearly labeled instead of making the argument sound more certain than your evidence supports. That follows the voice-preservation approach you specified: plain, conversational, restrained, and minimally polished.

                          🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.1rc1 (nightly) is out. This is the first release since the 4.0.0 stable rewrite in June, and it collects the fixes made since.

                          The nightly release follows Mastodon main branch (4.8.0-alpha.1). If you are on 4.6.0 stable or 4.7.0, please stay on 4.0.0.

                          Changelog:
                          - The More icon is back in the navigation, after upstream made the Icon id optional
                          - Redesigned the footer under an opened image: smaller icons, readable counters, round hovers, white boost glyph, narrower overlay
                          - Lists no longer overlap the trends section on short viewports
                          - Account badges have spacing, so Muted is not flush against a role badge
                          - Navigation polish: hover pills are not clipped, the compact font below 1080px sticks, the mobile bar sits above the slideout pane, the left navigation scrolls at high zoom
                          - The install script preserves other installed themes instead of rebuilding themes.yml

                                :skull360: We've upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.8.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2026-08-23. That is 53 new commits from upstream since our 15.8.2026 build.

                                This is a quiet round on the surface. Almost all of the upstream work went into the Mastodon 5.0 redesign, which is behind a switch and not turned on for anyone yet, so there are no new features for you this time, just fixes.

                                🔧 Fixes & improvements

                                - Autosuggestions no longer overstay their welcome in languages that do not put spaces between words, such as Japanese and Chinese (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - The advanced interface no longer drops /deck from the address bar when you resize the window (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - Empty searches now return a clear error instead of running, and searches with no actual term in them are rejected (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p and github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - Remote accounts that arrive without a public key no longer cause errors (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - Admin statistics no longer count one day wrong at the edges of a time range (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).

                                🚀 Under the hood

                                - The 5.0 redesign continued in cards, menus, callouts, modals, the account navigation menu and most of the composer. All of it stays behind a flag, so nothing changes for you yet.
                                - The heading font changed from Syne to Cal Sans UI, which for now is only used by those redesigned parts (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - Mastodon 4.7.0 was released upstream while we sit on the nightly line, so its changelog and security policy came along with this merge. We stay on 4.8.0-alpha.1 (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - Servers can now switch on gzip compression for responses (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).
                                - A background job that repaired remote collections is no longer scheduled, and an obsolete admin command for duplicate accounts was removed (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p and github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).

                                📦 Dependency updates

                                - Routine bumps and translation updates.

                                          Hey everyone,

                                          @casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

                                          They are:

                                          • Mohammed Jamil in Gaza 🕊️🍉 (@hamoudjamil26)

                                          Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser 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):

                                            Endlich auf Mastodon!

                                            X (Twitter) scheint sich gerade selbst zu zerlegen. Ich wurde dort gesperrt – angeblich, weil mein Account „nicht authentisch“ sei. Das, obwohl ich Premium per Kreditkarte bezahlt hatte und sogar dreifach verifiziert war.

                                            Die automatisierten Systeme scheinen völlig aus dem Ruder zu laufen und sperren offenbar auch für völlig normale Beiträge. Einfach nur absurd.

                                            Umso mehr freue ich mich auf einen Neustart hier.

Im Vordergrund liegt ein Mann erschöpft auf dem rissigen Boden und blickt auf ein Smartphone mit zersplittertem Display.

I find that amusing. I don't really care to file any sort of bug report, I honestly don't believe it's important enough for that sort of treatment, but I find it very funny.

                                                        Wenn eine Instanz im Fediverse ihren Betrieb einstellen muss, geht damit immer auch ein Stück gewachsene Gemeinschaft verloren. Gleichzeitig kann ich sehr gut verstehen, dass Administratorinnen und Administratoren irgendwann an einen Punkt kommen können, an dem der Aufwand, die Verantwortung oder auch die persönlichen Umstände einen Weiterbetrieb nicht mehr zulassen.

                                                        Hinter einer Instanz steckt schließlich weit mehr, als irgendwo einen Server laufen zu lassen: Updates, Sicherheit, Backups, Moderation, Support, technische Probleme – und nicht zuletzt die Verantwortung für eine Gemeinschaft von Menschen. Vieles davon geschieht ehrenamtlich und bleibt für die meisten Nutzerinnen und Nutzer unsichtbar.

                                                        Gerade deshalb finde ich den Austausch und die gegenseitige Unterstützung unter den Administratorinnen und Administratoren im Fediverse so wichtig. Wir betreiben zwar unterschiedliche Instanzen und unterschiedliche Fediverse-Dienste, aber viele Herausforderungen ähneln sich. Wissen teilen, Erfahrungen weitergeben und sich gegenseitig unterstützen kann dabei helfen, diese Last auf mehr Schultern zu verteilen.

                                                        Mein Dank gilt allen, die solche Instanzen betreiben und damit überhaupt erst die vielfältige, dezentrale Struktur des Fediverse ermöglichen. 💚

                                                            Last week of summer school vacation. Kiddo and me used the time to have lunch at IKEA and also the new Korean Restaurant at Oranienburger Strasse.

                                                            The other kiddo managed to catch a summer flu and passed it on to me. So the tail end of the week I was slightly miserable and stayed home. Didn’t drove to the countryside to avoid spreading the virus.

                                                            Tried to boost the immune system with some ginger shots and lots of garlic 😀

                                                            On Friday kiddo and me took a trip to the Alexa shopping centre. She was mostly interested in books and vinyl. Eventually bought “Purple Rain” from Prince on Vinyl. Couldn’t be prouder as a dad 😉

                                                            Apparently the trend to print cheap plastic toys with a 3D printer that we’ve seen in China has arrived in Germany. Thalia was selling 3D-printed stuff from a German brand “Spiegelburg”.

                                                            Also fiddled a lot with N8N, Paperless and LiteLLM this week to optimise my document workflow. Wrote about it here

                                                            Pulled out DeltaChat again as I was curious about their Channel and Group features. Apparently one can set up a Channel to share with other that works as a one distribution from the Initiator to the Subscribers. They can react, but not post or response in the Channel.

                                                            Groups work as bidirectional as one would expect. One thing to keep in mind is, that new members will only be added to the channel or group once the initiator comes online. Apparently this can be solved with an always on bot that run’s somewhere.

                                                            I currently don’t have any real plans to use these features, was just curious.

                                                            Read an interesting post about the Foo Fighters as anti-vaxxer supporters.

When it's done loading it will show a little pop up message "Show more replies" or similar, click on the message to view all replies in the thread.

Link-shortening services can not only potentially *track* your interactions and add telemetry to track your behaviors, they can also *break* and make your links unusable.

                                                                                                            You can use services like urlexpander.net or install an app (I like Link Unshortener (apps.apple.com/us/app/link-uns)) to find the ultimate destination of a shortened link, and then post that instead.

                                                                                                            Remember, all URLs in count as 23 characters, no matter how long the actual URL is, so there really is no benefit to shortening your URLs.

I'm trying out ice cubes but I don't know if I like it or not. is there a way to view all the posts on someone's profile together instead of separating original posts and boosts? I like the option to only see one or the other but I want the default to be both. otherwise you're only seeing half of someone's account...

They have decided not to pursue it in 2026, and nobody is actively developing it anymore.

                                                                                                                                  Well, good riddance, I guess. It was fun before it even started. Many of us saw this coming. I would not be surprised if they phase it out completely over the next few years. The Fediverse was never a real priority for them, it was just marketing hype all along. Just like some open source LARPing from the Big Tech corporates.

                                                                                                                                  Direct quote:

                                                                                                                                  "Threads’ integration with the fediverse is on maintenance mode, says head of Threads Connor Hayes in an interview by Alex Heath. Hayes said about the fediverse: ““It’s something that we’re supporting, it’s something that we’re maintaining, but it’s not the thing that we’re talking about that’s gonna help the app break out”. In October 2023, Mark Zuckerberg gave an interview with Alex Heath, who asked him about decentralisation and open protocols, with Zuckerberg saying he “always believed in this stuff“. With the fediverse integration for Threads now in maintenance mode, this must surely be a big blow for Zuckerberg’s belief in decentralised social networking.

                                                                                                                                  Threads’ integration with the fediverse was never popular, especially from the side of Threads. In January 2025 the mastodon.social knew about 25k Threads accounts which had turned on federation. But while that number is already low considering the total number of Threads users, the interest in actually following an account on Mastodon from Threads was even lower: in January 2025, only 800 Threads users followed at least one account on mastodon.social. Threads deliberately made it difficult to follow fediverse accounts, and later updates deprioritised the fediverse feed even more. Regardless, it is not particularly hard to understand why a platform that now boasts about having 400M monthly active users is not putting in much effort to maintain a complex system that only a few thousand people at best make use of."

I haven't experienced much of that here. Perhaps I've simply been lucky. The Fediverse certainly hasn't abolished arseholes. Give humanity sufficient time, and I'm confident we'll manage to decentralise those too.

                                                                                                                                                But I wonder whether something structural is happening? The giant platforms discovered that anger, fear and outrage are extraordinarily good at keeping human beings engaged. Conflict isn't necessarily an unfortunate side effect of the system. It can be profitable.

                                                                                                                                                Here, there isn't one enormous corporation deciding what billions of people should see next in order to keep them scrolling. And perhaps that changes the temperature of the room.

                                                                                                                                                THERE'S ANOTHER POSSIBILITY TOO.

                                                                                                                                                Maybe our communities become partly what we practise in them. If disagreement is treated as conversation rather than combat, people begin behaving accordingly. I don't need everyone here to agree with me.

                                                                                                                                                IN FACT, THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLY BORING.

                                                                                                                                                I just rather like being somewhere where disagreement doesn't automatically require a body to reach for a flamethrower. So far, the Fediverse feels less like an audience being managed... and more like people talking.

                                                                                                                                                I hadn't realised how much I'd missed that.

Germany currently faces a two-pronged propaganda attack from Russian-sponsored and American-sponsored fascists (not that there is much difference, these days), and while the fascists aren't running either the federal or any state-level governments yet, the latter might occur before the year is over.

                                                                                                                                                                                  And the Greens _are_ the primary political target of the fascists - that is to say, the fascists attack the Green Party more than any other parties (including attacks on party offices, although fortunately this was limited to property damage... so far).

                                                                                                                                                                                  I don't _think_ German political parties sponsor projects directly, though others might know more about this than I do. Perhaps @netzbegruenung knows more.

And the Greens certainly are in favor of projects and projects, which has become all the more important for these days. It has _not_ gone unnoticed how the USA has treated members of the , and the overreliance of Europe and Germany on US digital infrastructure is now seen as a major security risk.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              Und das Fediverse? Das ZDF nennt hier stellvertretend Mastodon: 6 % nutzen es bereits regelmäßig. Bluesky kommt auf 4 %.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              Besonders interessant: 38 % kennen Alternativen zu den großen Konzernplattformen schlicht noch nicht. Aber nur 5 % halten sie für zu kompliziert.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              She is fine, no wounds, nothing broken, she was just furious. She is a real fighter! 10 kg vs 40 is no matter for her.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              But I stood there and thought that I was about to lose both of my dogs just during one week.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The owner apologised and apologised, and she was more shaken than I was.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Then I came home and took out the big treats, the ones that were Juliette’s, they were always too big for Ellie and nobody here was ever going to eat them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I brought them over and gave them to that woman for her REALLY BIG dog.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I don't know why, I just felt that I had to do it, and I hope that he (or she, I didn't ask) likes them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Ellie, a small white and tan dog with one ear up and one folded, standing in green grass on a hillside in a pink harness.

I have been removing followers that look fake for years. But now at 990, followers I figure . I just want to hit that sweet, sweet 1K bench mark. If you're a real person and can push me over my goal, I will treasure you forever. And then I can go back to deleting the followbots. I promise, I won't get greedy.

I'd heard development stopped on FastSMRW. I've been using Fedra, but I'm having some issues in my home, local, and federated timelines with focus jumping off posts I'm trying to read, so I'm curious what my other options are.
