Now that I've dug my hands deep into the Mastodon core, it looks like it's definitely possible to get the original home instance counts for federated posts, not just your own server's local tally.

For boosts and favourites, recent versions of Mastodon already fetch the origin's reported totals when retrieving a post and store them as "untrusted counts" (untrusted because the remote server self-reports them). So a remote post carries the home server's actual numbers.

Replies are trickier, as they only federate to subscribed servers, so the local count tends to lag. However, you can fetch the full reply tree from the origin on demand.

I'm basing our algorithmic home feed exactly on that: boosts and favourites from the origin counts, and comments from a backfilled reply tree.

Add opt-in ranked home timeline (experimental)

It looks like by going to a self hosted single user instance I basically just lose access to trending posts.

I'm not seeing any other gaps and I'm not adding a bunch of relays to fill it in either so that's an acceptable loss but something to surface to others running self hosted mastodon.

Would be nice for the Ice Cubes News page to work but oh well.

⚠️ OVH Local Zone Zurich outage (~4h)

My VPS in OVH’s Zurich Local Zone (where this Mastodon instance lives) was completely unreachable for about 4 hours yesterday.

No status page updates, no incident notice, nothing from OVH (so typical).

From my side it looked like a clean Layer 3 issue - pings to the VPS returned Destination Host Unreachable from their ToR router inside the zone:
localzone-zrh-zur1-tor2-as4210011009.ch.eu (57.128.121.83)

Monitoring graph for the last 24h is attached.

Below it, “0.82 APDEX (1.0)” with a row of small colored boxes showing hourly scores: mostly bright green at 1.0, but with a clear drop to 0.29, then several 0 values, and 0.62 (in red/pink) during the outage window around 16:00–20:00. Time labels on the x-axis go from 12h to 10h (next day). The red elements align with the OVH Zurich Local Zone outage.

Ein kleines #Mastodon?

我是不建議那些平常看演算法推送的人來Mastodon，尤其是這次大災情的meta難民，除非你願意嘗試和探索，還需要毅力。

#meta難民 #mastodon #避難

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

At first I was wondering why all of my wordle puzzles disappeared.

Then I realized my pinned posts were all gone as well.

Then I realized that ALL of my emojis are gone from all of my posts.

I've had problems with different browsers showing certain emojis or fonts on #Mastodon, but It's never happened on Firefox before

#Fedilab has an old entry called "Extra features", which was added long ago when #Mastodon forks came around with features such as reactions. This is something to rework: the app can detect what an instance supports and enable supported features automatically.

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.7.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2026-06-19, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0. Two big milestones this round: Mastodon 4.6.0 officially shipped as stable on 17.6.2026, and our own Mastodon Bird UI theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release. We're already running the first nightly of the next cycle, v4.7.0-alpha.1 (today's version).

This update includes today's latest daily build with 56 new commits from upstream since our 13.6.2026 build (mementomods-2026-06-13).

What's new in Mastodon core, these are the changes the Mastodon Team have introduced in the latest nightly version we are running:

✨️ New features

- Mastodon 4.6.0 is officially out. After a long alpha, beta, and RC run, version 4.6 was released as stable on June 17, 2026, bringing Collections, redesigned profiles, email subscriptions, custom filter import and export, and everything else we've been previewing throughout the cycle. Naturally, we've been testing these features over the past few months already.

🔧 Fixes & improvements

- List navigation hotkeys now use Alt + PageUp and Alt + PageDown, the modifier was added so they no longer clash with normal page scrolling.
- Editing a media attachment twice without submitting in between now works.
- The audio player no longer errors out in Safari's Lockdown Mode.
- Hovercards now show up properly in the compose column.
- The report modal heading can now be translated correctly in every language.

♿ Accessibility

- Another round of web UI accessibility fixes landed as part of the final 4.6.0 polish.

📦 Dependency updates

- This round was mostly the 4.6.0 release finalisation, so only minor dependency bumps came with it.

🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 (stable)

Our theme reached its 4.0.0 stable release this round, the full modular rewrite built for Mastodon 4.6.0 and forward-compatible with 4.7.0-alpha.1. The big visible change for you is our brand new native favourite animation:

- Favourites now use a hand-rebuilt SVG burst animation instead of the old rotating sprite, recreated frame by frame in the classic Twitter style.
- There are two variants, a heart (shown by default) and a star. You can switch between them in Preferences, Appearance with the "use stars" toggle.
- The favourite counter and hover colour now match the icon, gold for the star and pink for the heart.
- The action-bar hover glow now sits centred on each icon (favourite, reply and boost) instead of drifting towards the counter number.
- Collection preview cards are now indented in feeds so they line up with the post content.
- Fixed the white, unreadable dropdown background on the settings pages (the native select popup).
- Fixed the boost and reply prepend line indentation that regressed after a Mastodon profile change (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/39521).

Experimenting with new native SVGs to bring into Mastodon core. Instead of the CSS hacks we use in the Mastodon Bird UI, these SVGs provide a more natural solution.

The CSS sprite-based ones are fine and serve their purpose as a theme layered over Mastodon, but I miss a more native approach for the large numbers we have in the posts in our Mastodon fork. The Mastodon team can later decide whether to use these animations, as they will be built against the main branch.

What can I say, I like appealing micro-integrations.

#FediTips #Mastodon

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".

A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.

If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.

When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?

The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.

They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?

If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.

You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.

I'm excited to see how the newsletter addition will be implemented and how server admins will deal with it. Seems like a great feature to increase the network effect towards mastodon vs other social media.

That being said, I imagine a lack of analytic features, which users can use on the backend for other newsletter services, may be a drawback for journalists, bloggers, creators, etc. .or maybe its just webhook to connect to newsletter services, its pretty unclear in the changelog.

The concentration of power in Silicon Valley happened partly because we let it. We accepted a few platforms as inevitable. We built our communities there because that’s where everyone was. It wasn’t because their technology is better. It was a choice—made again and again by the people on those platforms, by investors, and by policymakers.

A different choice is possible, but it requires that those of us building alternatives actually believe what we say about cooperation. It means assuming good faith from people building different projects. It means investing in infrastructure that doesn’t benefit us alone.

We, the builders of the open social web, are the only ones who can make that choice.

It starts with deciding that our mission matters more than winning alone.

Your approach towards enabling Newsletters is very generous.

Anybody also activating Newsletters to attract subscriptions, I suggest we make a small contribution to the Admin.

As Ruud explains, the costs for a few posts, is minimal. But multiply that by a thousand users, or by growing mailing lists, the costs add up.

Something the Admins have to pay out of their pocket.

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

I took 2 SSD drives, put them into a #DAS in RAID1, and made it a data storage for #Garage object storage.

So my Garage now is a single-node cluster with its downsides.

And I just realised that I could use those two drives on two different machines to build a two-node #Garage cluster with redundancy, data repairs, and load balancing! That would be cooooooool!

Good to realize this now, before I migrated my #Mastodon instance media storage there.

Mastodon v4.6.0 requires Ruby v3.3, but my version of Ubuntu (24.04) only has 3.2.3. Anyone have a good suggestion? Otherwise I guess I'll just wait a while.

#Mastodon #MastoAdmin #SelfHosted #ServerAdmin

@Paulatics First of all, thanks for being here on #Mastodon. A #Canadian Senator! That's so cool. ❤️

Mastodon, as a *distributed* platform, has no algorithms other than people just "boosting", and "starring" posts. There is no "unseen hand" (of the platform owners themselves) which unfairly promotes certain hidden agendas, turning one's feed into this "dark-patterned" psychological mind-game. The documentary movie "The Social Dilemma" talked about these dark patterns. Many of these dark patterns don't happen here on Mastodon. It's a night and day difference to me.

While it's true that there are bad actors on these #mastodon instances, IMHO there is almost always better moderation on a per-instance basis. Also, each Mastodon instance posts its rules (it's social values, and boundaries of enforcement) before joining, thereby allowing for the unique culture of each community - hopefully a locally/regionally-aligned one. Users can "Mute" and "Block" problematic users easily, which is a further mechanism of moderation in the hands of every user, including youth. Parents would ideally explain the importance of developing a moral compass _which knows how to do this "Muting" and "Blocking"_. **At the end of the day there's no escape from the need for good parenting.** Effective parenting is the key to this all, I say.

For these reasons, I say #Mastodon is different, and Canadian #Mastodon instances (at least) should escape such a ban, especially what with the need to get our Elbows Up, and protect our Data Sovereignty/autonomy. The ban I suggest would be for those American "TechBro" platforms: TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram (provably the worst of all psychologically, for teens and youth wholesale), Youtube, etc. There are Open Source alternatives to all of these, which Canadians can get their elbows up to host themselves, or sign up for accounts on.

Myself, I self-host a blog, a Hyper8 video website (it's like a Youtube Channel), an RSS feed, a photo-sharing site (Immich) a bit similar to Instagram, two Mastodon instances, two wikis, and even a Minecraft-like game server. I host all these things and more, right now. Not next month, or next year. All #OpenSource. The Americans can do their own thing, while we Canadians do our own thing with our awesome #European friends, who also take their #DataSovereignty very seriously. #EU #Europe

A screenshot from the linked website showing a pie chart labeled "Active instances software version distribution". Top 3 Mastodon versions are: Version 4.6.0: 2,440 servers at 26.42% Version 4.5.11: 2,368 servers at 25.64% Version 4.5.10: 613 servers at 6.64%

I might be overlooking something obvious, but is there a decent way on #mastodon to follow a thread/conversation over time if you're not participating in it actively (heck, even if you are and other replies don't mention you)?

I sometimes see an interesting thread that I know will continue past when I first stumble on it. Without mentions or hashtags I follow, I guess this is a manual process of opening tabs, tending bookmarks, etc?

#Mastodon 4.6 is here! It's been a long time in the works, but it's finally ready. In this release, we're introducing Collections—a way to share curated collections of profiles to help old and new users discover more of the #Fediverse. We're also updating the look of profiles, alongside many quality of life and accessibility improvements. Read more here:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/mastodon-4.6/

A big new release after months of work is a good time to mention that #Mastodon is crowdfunded. Unlike many other platforms out there, we don’t take venture capital, we don’t sell ads, and we don’t sell your data. We rely on your donations to pay our team. Please consider chipping in:

Love the new Newsletter function in Mastodon 4.6:

'You can now opt-in to allow anonymous visitors to subscribe to your posts via e-mail, so even people who don’t have a Mastodon or Fediverse account and don’t wish to get one can keep up to date with you.'

And a reminder to SUPPORT YOUR ADMIN:

'We chose not to make this available for everyone by default as sending e-mail newsletters can significantly rack up the costs of operating a Mastodon server.'

I find #Mastodon is sort of like an interesting social game which trains one to develop a clear personal boundary as to what one will and won't accept as toxic. Too toxic, and it earns a mute (let alone a "block", for those jump-scare-grade bumholes). There are so many "grey-zone" judgement calls.

So many times I'll lazily scroll past something, but then it will "register", groggily, "no wait, scroll back. Don't tolerate that". **If I didn't go back and Mute it, I would lack discipline in forming and enforcing my own psychological boundaries.**

I just heard about tribe.net and the context seemed to imply two interesting things:

I'll be migrating #GlitchySocial #Mastodon instance to it in a week, because service-workers, browser caches... It's complicated.

Garage is in an #LXC. Its storage is on a hardware RAID on #DAS. This way, I can migrate an LXC, reconnect the DAS, and have it running on another #Proxmox node in minutes.

Meanwhile, have a #gif served grom it: https://toots-storage.glitchy.social/security.gif

If costs for the hosting of #snac2 are substantially less than for #Mastodon, I'm very much for the cheaper alternative.

I ran my own single-user #GoToSocial instance, and I was surprised at how disk-intensive it could be -- the database and filesystem were a lot larger than I was comfortable with.

I've been playing around with #snac2 as a user for the past few months. There are some rough edges on the web interface, though they pretty much melt away with client software. I'd like the ability to reply to my own posts from my user page, for instance. I do like the lack of Javascript, which does make it less smooth at times.

For a Fediverse user on the web, #Mastodon does offer a lot of conveniences (unless you're the one installing and running it).

So I'm using some Mastodon, some snac2.

New project loading! 🚀
I am planning to launch it this week.

Introducing the "Uganda Verified" a platform aimed at helping identify and promote legitimate Ugandan organizations, projects, initiatives, and individuals.

The #mastodon account is already live: @uganda_verified

Follow us to stay updated as we get ready for launch.

I'm also looking for one or more volunteers who can help us set up and manage a dedicated Mastodon server for the project.

For us, verification means confirming that a person or organization is genuinely based in Uganda and that the organization or project they are promoting is properly & legally registered.

The first version will be simple. There is no backend yet, so approved profiles will be added manually while the platform continues to evolve.

If the government really wanted to get kids off #socialmedia it's pretty easy. Rather than ban the <16's I would :

1. ban algorithmic feeds on social media
2. ban advertising on social media.

Bit like #Mastodon really. Social interaction is ready and waiting for everyone but you have to work at it a bit.

IMHO most kids would likely give up and go do something else.

It's really annoying to see channels you deleted (on the respective site) and then find them cloned on other sites... This is a huge privacy issue that's completely missing in Open Source systems (or social networks)... Those listed below were only some of the channels I created and then (illusorily) deleted...

#mastodon

If I'm following a person, their post will show up for sure, but sometimes not the post it's replying to. In this case I can still follow a link back to the original instance. (Which is a way of "getting around" in and of itself.)

I think part of this might be because snac is conservative in terms of caching, whereas Mastodon is apparently very aggressive about it. So while snac is very lightweight (which is its main point) on Mastodon it would feel less insular. Hashtags on a semi-large Mastodon instance can be used to see a lot of posts from people you don't follow, but on this snac instance it's almost pointless to filter by hashtag.
Conversely, I have no idea who might be able to see this post here, just because they follow the Fediverse hashtag or so...?

I assume one way to get more input might be to follow more people. But then the feed would be way too busy. So perhaps an alternative would be to create a separate account on the same instance that follows a ton of people, which would cause the snac server to retrieve their posts (or know about the server?), and then I guess that should improve things somewhat even on this account, making hashtags more usable and seeing more replies or reply parent-posts.

As I said, I'd love if anyone with more knowledge about the Fediverse or Activity Pub etc. could enlighten me a bit.

Nach meiner Erfahrung auch mit vielen hier auf Mastodon ist die fossile Finanzierung der Regime im Iran & in Russland gar nicht schwer zu verstehen.

Dieser Fossilismus - Zusammenhang wird jedoch medial & politisch noch immer verdrängt.

So warnte ich 2015 in „Öl- und Glaubenskriege“ vor der Gefahr weiterer Öl- und Golfkriege.

In der Kolumne „Ölfluch und Antisemitismus“ rief ich ausdrücklich dazu auf, nicht weiterhin Putin, Chamenei samt Hamas, Hisbollah & Huthi zu finanzieren.

In meiner Rede gegen jeden Antisemitismus am 9.11.23 im Landtag BW thematisierte ich auch das Fossilregime von Katar und plädierte für erneuerbare Friedensenergien.

Und noch im letzten Juli gab ich eine PM gegen die fossile Finanzierung von Russland & Iran heraus. Medienresonanz nahe Null.

Mastodon has an account verification system, but it works differently to most social networks. There is no central authority confirming people's identity, instead there is a self-service system based on ownership of websites or web pages. You can find out more at:

Fakten:

wiesbaden.social muss samt Domain und vorhandener Userbasis übernommen werden. Die Deadline dafür ist der 1.9.26.

Aktueller Stand:

• Container-Disk: 503 GB, davon 50 GB belegt (~32 GB davon nur Cache)
• RAM 8 GB, 8 vCPU

If you are an admin, updating ahead of the full 4.6.0 release would be a great help to find and squash any last-minute bugs!
