#Mastodon is a sink of inconsitent bullshit, I have multiple Mastodon accounts. On for account A, I see all posts for a particular person X and not all posting for a particular person Y. Through my account B, I see some postings of person X but all of person B...UX bullshit at its best. Who invented and implemented this garbage based on Activitypub?

We got confirmation. This is real.
TACO {the man child} has cut two holes
in the tarp for the emergency exits.
The scaffolding and tarp is not coming down soon.
So he thinks the tarp will hide his shame,
until the next major crisis he creates.

Hiding the evidence is not working with
the Epstein Files either. We know you are a pervert!

I wonder what will be the next major driver of #migration to the #Fediverse? X/Musk does something that drives away users, or governments? It catches on at last in the EU? Bluesky blows up? #Loops⁩ goes viral? Facebook shuts down? #Threads makes sharing the default?

Many features people complained were lacking years ago are now in place, but it doesn't feel as if the Fediverse is growing much overall, ⁨https://fedidb.com/⁩ .

Popular Mechanics How To Fix Anything

Published 2018

via the #InternetArchive

"For any #HomeRepair, big or small, homeowners can turn to this practical and portable reference.

"Got a squeaky floor or a rattling door? Is your grout a color you don’t recognize anymore? From quick fixes like linking broken chains and patching drywall to more involved projects like replacing a fuel line and bleeding your brakes,Popular Mechanics How to Fix Anything is the handy and reliable go-to guide for the most common household problems offering a primer on #plumbing, unexpected hacks like using a golf tee to fill a stripped screw hole, instructions for tuning up the garage door, and so much more. Throughout the book Roy Berendsohn, Popular Mechanics’ senior home editor, answers questions about the trickiest fix-its, including how to deal with a recurring ceiling cracks or get rid of that stench from the kitchen sink.. And because it’s organized room by room, from basement to bathroom to bedroom, it’s simple to find the solution you need—so you won’t have to hire someone else to do the job."

i should probably pay more attention to when my #mastodon server goes down.

3 Uhr nachts und ich erkläre mal wieder jemandem, dass das Fediverse kein "Twitter-Klon" ist. 🌙

Stell dir vor, E-Mail wäre nur bei einem Anbieter möglich. Absurd, oder? Genau so absurd ist zentrale Social Media eigentlich.

Beim Fediverse wählst DU deine Instanz, deine Regeln, deine Moderation – und redest trotzdem mit allen. Kein Konzern dazwischen.

Föderation > Plattform. Immer. ✨

#Fediverse #Dezentral #Mastodon #ActivityPub

I apologize about the latest 3.41.0 release of #Fedilab that introduced a deceptive UX. Collections work with the #Mastodon API on instances running 4.6 (currently in release candidate). I should have added a safeguard depending on the Mastodon release. I am really sorry for that.

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.

#MastoAdmin #FrontEnd #WebDev #Mastodon #Animation #Design #BirdUI #MastodonBirdUI #SVG

Ich wünsche mir mehr Mut im Fediverse.

Mehr Kommentare. Mehr Widerspruch. Mehr Diskussion. Mehr Boosts. Mehr Menschen, die sagen: „Da sehe ich das anders.“ Aber auch mehr Menschen, die sagen: „Guter Punkt.“

Ein Boost ist keine Heirat. Ein Kommentar ist kein Angriff. Und eine Diskussion ist kein Krieg.

Das Fediverse lebt nicht von stillen Timelines. Es lebt von Menschen, die miteinander reden, voneinander lernen und Gedanken weitertragen.

Also traut euch. Schreibt. Fragt. Widersprecht. Ergänzt. Boostet. Das macht uns alle sichtbar.

35% seems pretty high for random chance, right? If you feel comfortable and want to reach out so that I can follow you again, my DMs are open 💖✨ I'm especially interested if there is a pattern of what Mastodon version is being used. If there's a bug it's either my server version, v4.5.11, or that of the follows that dropped

Not sure how else to potentially troubleshoot this so I'm also open to suggestions. I hope I can pull this thread though

#AskFedi #Mastodon #MastodonBug

Reasons why I love Mastodon:

1. I can ask help for stuff I know nothing about and some expert somewhere will be like "I know I know!!!" And I get good information.
2. People also have useful links I can't find myself.
3. People will literally GO TAKE A PHOTO FOR YOU for reference if you ask, and are so damb nice about it that my heart grows three sizes. <3
4. So much lovely HUMAN MADE art. :D
5. Blocking seems to work really well.
Etc.

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-rc.1+mementomods-2026-06-13, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc nightly updates.

Mastodon hit Release Candidate this round. The 4.6 release is right around the corner.

This update includes today's latest daily build with 85 new commits from upstream since our last build mementomods-2026-06-07.

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

- Import Custom Filters, the import side of last release's export, so you can move your filter rules between accounts and instances
- Bot notifications can be filtered with a new dedicated policy, separate from regular filtered-notifications handling
- Newsletters can now be viewed individually in the admin UI
- Polls and media attachments can be combined in the same post (the old restriction is lifted)
- Media attachment descriptions raised to a 10000 character limit
- Media attachments now carry duration in their ActivityPub representation, so audio and video duration travels with the post over federation
- Collections continue to polish
- Several internal refactors (typing-statuses representation, sundry test coverage on background workers) that should make future patches smoother
- Changelog now points to the right profile-API documentation

Fixes & improvements

- Account hovercard sometimes not triggering, fixed
- "Unlisted collections" profile section was visible to other users, now properly hidden
- Editing a post failed when the post had both a poll and attachments, the validation check is now consistent
- "Remove me from collection" confirmation dialog copy was misleading, cleaned up
- Missing string for custom filter import added
- Missing heading styles in settings area restored
- Loading or errored emoji in a detailed status display name no longer causes a line break
- Sensitive media card display fixed
- Unable to unmark media as sensitive when "always mark media as sensitive" is enabled, fixed
- Sidekiq Elasticsearch connection cleanup made robust
- Avatar and profile header description fields are now serialized over ActivityPub (so alt text actually federates)
- Intermittent failure in `RankedTrend` locales pluck (order-dependent), fixed
- Broken column header layout after the heading refactor, fixed
- Uncontained text overflow in column header, fixed
- Tiny checkboxes and radio buttons in Safari, fixed
- Font size of `Callout` component actions in Safari, fixed
- Alignment of icon and text in `Callout` component, tightened
- Missing boolean check in Admin Reports API, fixed
- Inconsistent `keyboard_shortcuts.translate` string, normalized
- Crash on standalone Wrapstodon and embedded status pages (#39400), fixed
- Poll options ordering below uploads in the compose form, fixed

Accessibility

- Navigation focus management overhauled, focus stays where it should after sidebar interactions
- Alerts ("toasts") are now announced by assistive tech
- Column extra buttons moved out of the h1 column heading
- Patched over the worst a11y issues from the "simple" ruby gems

🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)

Side-panel and profile polish, plus some small UX wins:

- Compact navigation items (font-size 17px, gap 7px) on screen heights below 1080px so more nav links fit on a laptop
- Navigation menu scrollbar is now minimal (Firefox thin, WebKit 4px) instead of the dominant OS default
- Trends section top margin removed for a tighter side panel
- Trends drop to 2 items on screen heights below 830px (4 items fit above that)
- Dropdown menus are capped to the viewport height and become scrollable on short or zoomed screens
- Avatar follow badge sits above the display name (z-index) so the first row of the status stays clickable (only for forks that have experimental For you enabled)
- Account timeline filters render above the profile header

The internet, and social media in particular, are turning into a complete mess. Even Mastodon, which seemed promising, is starting to go downhill. Mastodon Social now has strange restrictions; timelines are blocked, and it occasionally returns a compatibility error message. I suspect they're running some weird tests...

Still one of my least favorite #mastodon feature: I click on a stranger's profile to see who they really are. They have 0 posts visible. I have to view their full profile on their home instance to actually see anything. I would've guessed that by now there was a magical technology to pull the info on demand.

Another related is followed user profile on another instance, I look at their media and after some point the images are broken. I have to do the same thing as in previous point to see all their stuff.

FediSuite - Fediverse Management Platform

Open-source platform for social media management and analytics

If you manage several Fediverse accounts, you're constantly juggling browser tabs, losing track of which input field belongs to which platform, and at some point you no longer know what you've already posted. #FediSuite brings everything together in one place.

Connect accounts from 19(+) #Fediverse platforms: #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Misskey, #Friendica, #PeerTube, #Loops, #Wordpress, #Vernissage and more. The app detects your instance type automatically, loads the correct character limit and media rules straight from your instance, and sets up the composer accordingly. No manual configuration needed.

The analytics go way beyond plain follower counts: daily engagement charts, follower growth, your best posting times as a heatmap, hashtag performance, and a tips engine that evaluates your actual data and gives you concrete suggestions based on your own numbers.

Schedule posts down to the minute in your own time zone. Background workers handle publishing reliably, with resume handling for rate limits and atomic delivery.

FediSuite is free and #OpenSource under the GPL-3.0. Anyone can host their own FediSuite #instance and get it added to the official list automatically.

If you find a bug, especially in the #SelfHosting setup, feel free to report it. The project is being actively developed, and real-world bug reports are among the most valuable contributions right now. The CONTRIBUTING.md explains how it works.

The project lives on donations. Donations guarantee and make it possible for FediSuite to keep going and keep being developed. To support FediSuite, click the yellow button on the website.

I’ll join in, then there’ll be two of us, and then we’ll spread the word so others will join in too.”

My latest FOSS Academic post is a doozy. It's "Reading the Digital Safety Act with My Mastodon Admin Hat On":

https://fossacademic.tech/2026/06/11/reading-digital-safety-act.html

I'm reading Canada's proposed Digital Safety Act. My conclusion is that the proposed regulations could be very burdensome to non-profit, community-run social media, including AoIR.social.

I'd love feedback on this, particularly from Canadian fediverse admins.

A screenshot of the Mastodon UI. After clicking on a hashtag, you can see the option to Mute the hashtag - which will hopefully prevent that topic appearing in your feeds in future.

The filtering feature I badly want from a #Mastodon client:

A post I just read contains a hashtag. Hide all posts containing that hashtag and all replies to such posts, in three taps/keystrokes or less, in a way that syncs to other clients.

That's a new one.

We just shipped some new features of our own to mementomori.social! 🎉

New:
- "For you" feed (experimental). Open your home column settings and switch on "Ranked order" to try an algorithmic feed: posts ranked by engagement and by who you interact with, fresh content on every refresh, and you'll rarely see the same post twice. Flip on "Include posts from people you don't follow" to discover new accounts beyond your follows. See someone interesting there? Tap the + on their avatar to follow them.
- PageUp and PageDown scroll the page normally again (thanks @anotherdream for the feedback on this one!)
- The navigation is a bit tidier: Collections and Followed hashtags now live under "More".

The For you feed is fully opt-in. Your home feed stays exactly as it was unless you turn it on. Feedback very welcome!

For those who believe that censorship isn't a thing on Mastodon.

I DIDN'T say "Jews pick the President". I said AIPAC has enormous influence on the race and the selection of candidates.

WHICH IS TRUE.

Too many mods and admins are like landlords: They are leaches with no excuse for existing except to bully others.

And FUCK YOU for slandering me as antisemitic, assholes.

Anyone want to guess how long it will be before they delete this one?

Kennt ihr Fedimap?
Eine Karte, auf der man sich als Fediverse-Freund freiwillig selbst verorten kann. Datensparsam, werbefrei, ohne Tracking, und man wählt einen ungefähren Ort, nicht die eigene Haustür.
Das Schöne ist nicht die Karte selbst, sondern was sie zeigt: dass wir hier mehr sind, als es auf den ersten Blick wirkt. Noch tragen sich leider erstaunlich wenige ein, gemessen daran, wie lebendig gerade das deutschsprachige Fediverse ist.

Eintragen läuft per privater Erwähnung an @fedimap, Befehl !in mit den Koordinaten, die du dir vorher auf fedimap.de geklickt hast.

Und wenn ihr im Großraum München auf der Karte nachseht, werdet ihr natürlich auch mich finden.

One Community. One homelab. One less excuse.

Hi #Mastodon! 👋

We're the #DigitalAutonomy team at the University of #Groningen.
Our university is working to reduce its dependence on #BigTech towards 2030 and we're sharing the journey here: our approach, progress, and lessons learned.

We're especially looking forward to connecting with others working on #digital autonomy in #HigherEd and the #public sector.

#Introduction #OpenSource

What would you like me to record a #Mastodon tutorial about next? (I kindly request that you check the playlist of tutorials I already made before suggesting something)

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmw3ZEE678QVxiLj4g5IMr3afgD2mvon1

@delta YouTube ourselves using DeltaChat...?

OK I was shooting for the moon there asking (not expecting you to do it either because the original post was big enough news itself).

SO BIGGEST POSITIVE COMPLIMENT is that you reply on #Mastodon

Nearly all the other developers don't (it's almost all 1-way posting or not good enough to dedicate time to fans / users / non-developers supporting them even on other platforms)

SO THANKS FOR REPLIES !

https://delta.chat/

Heads up to followers or others interested in what this acct shares.
- I'm feeling like experimenting with another server/instance so any recs for where might be good are very gratefully received.
- If youre interested in the tech and society aspects of what I share you might want to follow my 'main' account @DrPen.
- this account will always be about the media, media-politics and media-society of internet people

Always in gratitude to the Fediverse.

Canada's Bill C22 legislation will ban under 16s from social media, which basically is requiring everyone to upload official id to a fractured, compromised internet, with constant data breaches

Signal is serious, they know how harmful this is, and will block service if the bill is passed

Where does this leave Mastodon, and Fedi services? will they, can they, comply?

Photo of a sign from a campground, reading "Please dispose of trash properly." Beneath that text are two big arrows with artwork inside them. The top arrow is green and points to the right. It reads "Pack it in" and has a iconograph of two stick-people with walking sticks and backpacks, heading out for a hike. The bottom arrow points to the left and is yellow. It reads, Pack it out" and has iconography of one man putting something in his car trunk. The meme text above all of this reads, "I'm just going to note that there were TWO people at the start of this hike."

¡Te doy la bienvenida a #Mastodon y al #Fediverso! Si es tu primera vez, aquí tienes un hilo 🧵 para guiarte en tus primeros pasos.

Lo primero antes de que comiences a seguir/interactuar es que rellenes tu perfil: rellena tu biografía y sube una foto de perfil. ¡La gente no suele seguir a perfiles vacíos!

Lo siguiente es que escribas una publicación de #presentación para que podamos compartirla. En Mastodon se pueden seguir #etiquetas, así que asegúrate de escribir tus intereses como #etiquetas para que puedan encontrarte fácilmente las personas interesadas.

Por último, apunta la dirección del servidor en el que te has registrado. ¿No sabes cuál es? Es la dirección que sale después de tu primer @ en tu perfil. Puede ser "mastodon.social" o "masto.es", entre otras. Esta dirección la necesitarás para iniciar sesión o recuperar tu contraseña.

¿Todavía no sabes qué es Mastodon y eso de los servidores? ¡Sigue leyendo! ⬇️

I think one of the coolest things about #Mastodon is all the small-time instances. It proves there are tons and tons of people out there who get how to do self-hosting. They get DNS, domain registry, and some System Administration skills, to empower themselves, and make a stand on the #internet, participating in a federation whatsoever.

Email doesn't really enjoy this same status: it's sort of (effectively) "semi-federated". Even after doing all the correct DNS vodoo (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), one might be cursed anyway, because one's IP address comes from some disreputable IP block. This "original sin" can't really be cleansed, according to #Google , #Microsoft, etc, who silently and ruthlessly can send all one's incoming, self-hosted email messages to the recipient's spam folder.

@november @rachaelspooky
i've never been on #instagram so i have no clue what people do there.

i didn't know #hashtags are discouraged on #mastodon. #feditips seem to encourage use of them.
https://fedi.tips/what-are-hashtags-how-do-i-use-them-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

what's the argument against using them?

Alt...

I read an article saying the hashtag is dead and no one should use it. Is this true? No, such articles are just wanting people to discover things entirely through corporate algorithms. Such algorithms are opaque and used by corporate social networks to drive up profits regardless of the damage it may do to people’s feeds and lives. Hashtags are for human beings, corporate algorithms are for corporations.

Pretty neat to see @fitpub featured in this week's Self-Hosted Weekly on selfh.st!

It's a project I worked on - an ActivityPub-based platform for sharing fitness activities.

Feels especially relevant right now with Strava paywalling parts of their API and pushing people toward more open alternatives.

*** Repost on new instance ***

Hello Fediverse,

I'm happy to announce our very own Mastodon instance called "FediBlue", a new friendly place in the Fediverse for all people that are interested in free and open source software, especially Linux, BSD and illumos.

FediBlue is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen the FOSS community by publishing content about it and help projects gaining visibility in a time where many companies try to force their services on users, train AIs with people's data and collect as many data as they could.

Alongside the wonderful BSD Cafe community, where I'm also at, FediBlue should provide another very friendly and welcoming place in the Fediverse. In the next days, the Dark Blue Project presence will move completely to FediBlue.

Guten Morgen, ihr dezentralen Frühaufsteher! ☕

Kleine Erinnerung: Im Fediverse gibt's keinen Algorithmus, der entscheidet, was du sehen "willst". Du folgst Leuten – und siehst, was sie posten. Chronologisch. Verrückt, oder?

Kein Doomscrolling-Sog, keine Rage-Bait-Maschine. Nur du, deine Timeline und die Verantwortung, sie selbst zu kuratieren. 😅

Was macht euer Morgen so? 👇

How a senior dog says HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! #mastodon #pride #pridemonth #dogsofmastodon #dogs #goodmorning

I created multiple #Fediverse accounts all with the same user name & avatar but sometimes I get twisted around among them all (#Mastodon x 2, #Piefed, #NeoDB, #Lemmy, #Peertube, #Sharkey, #Hubzilla, #Pixelfed)

So I'm trying out annotated avatars to help clarify which of my posts come from which of my accounts, by adding the name of instance to the image.

Finding out all systems crop, but in different ways.

That's why on this #Glitch account my avatar now says "Exquisite". Not because I think I'm exquisite 😁 but because "Exquisite.Social" gets cropped.

I had to raise the text in my #Lemmy avatar because Lemmy (or at least the Alexandrite front end I use for Lemmy) crops the icon as a circle, so text needs to be nearer the centre to not get cropped.

(And yes, the avatar quality is terrible, especially when expanded. ~2 years ago, I resumed use of a really old avatar but for which the only file I still had left was a microscopic .jpg)

Typeface: Anton SC, 16 points with 1 pixel outline.
Done in #Photopea (as the least frustrating, for amateur me, image editor on Linux)

Aaaand I just remembered about "display names". Maybe I'll try that after I see how the avatar annotation goes.

Alt...

My avatar with text "Exquisite".

My avatar with text "Ohai".

My avatar with text "Piefed"

I’m casting a wide net to see what I catch:

Go!

📢 Ein kleiner Hinweis zum Thema Instanz-Administration im Fediverse

In den letzten Tagen ist mir wieder bewusst geworden, dass es rund um die Rolle von Administratoren im Fediverse manchmal Missverständnisse gibt. Deshalb möchte ich dazu ein paar allgemeine Worte schreiben.

Egal ob Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, Sharkey, PeerTube, BookWyrm oder eine andere Fediverse-Anwendung:

🛠️ Die Aufgabe eines Instanzbetreibers besteht in erster Linie darin, die technische Plattform bereitzustellen, zu warten und bei Problemen zu unterstützen.

Was Administratoren in der Regel nicht können:

❌ Passwörter einsehen
❌ Private Nachrichten lesen, die nicht öffentlich sind
❌ Sich einfach in Benutzerkonten einloggen
❌ Im Namen anderer Nutzer Beiträge verfassen

Viele Anwendungen im Fediverse bieten sehr umfangreiche Funktionen und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Gerade Friendica und Hubzilla verfügen über zahlreiche Optionen, die manchmal zu Verwirrung führen können. Das ist völlig normal.

💡 Deshalb mein Rat:

Wenn euch etwas merkwürdig vorkommt, eine Einstellung unklar ist oder ihr eine Meldung nicht versteht, dann wendet euch direkt an eure Instanzbetreiber oder die Community. Die meisten Administratoren helfen gern weiter und können oft schnell erklären, was hinter einer Funktion oder einer Fehlermeldung steckt.

Das Fediverse lebt von Offenheit, Transparenz und gegenseitiger Unterstützung. Deshalb sollten wir bei Unsicherheiten lieber nachfragen, bevor Vermutungen zu Missverständnissen, Gerüchten oder falschen Annahmen führen.

🤝 Reden hilft fast immer weiter.

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Tag und viele positive Begegnungen im Fediverse.

Wrote my first server announcement. Because yesterday, after updating my #Mastodon instance to 4.5.11, I didn't realise the Sidekiq died.

I spotted an unusual server load and temperature 24 hours later, found out that it was a Mastodon LXC, and realised there had been nothing processed by Sidekiq for 24 hours already.

I'm not sure about the reasons, because I didn't find anything useful in the logs. I definitely need better monitoring for #GlitchySocial.

Boy: you're not pretty...... You're beautiful
Boy: i don't want to be with you forever..... I need to be with you forever
Boy: i don't like you...... I love you
Boy: i wouldn't cry if you walked away...... I die if you walked away
Boy whispered: please stay with me
Girl: i will

*tonight at midnight your true love will realize he/she loves you
*something good will happen to you at 1-4pm
*tomorrow it could happen anywhere!
*get ready for the shock of your life!

*if you don't inbox this to 10other friends...... You will have badluck in relationships for the next 10yearsWARNING IF YOU STOP READING YOU WILL DIE TONIGHT. Hi I'm Mike. I'm 11 years old but I'm dead now. I had no friends... If you do not inbox this to 10 friends you will die tonight at exactly 11:59pm. DON'T BELIEVE ME? A guy named Jake read this and laughed later that night I took a knife from his kitchen and stabbed him to death. You don't wanna be Jake do you? READ ! This isn't fake. apparently, if u send his to 10 friends in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight.
Step 1- kiss your hand
Step 2- say your crushes name
Step 3- close your hand
Step 4- say your name
Step 5- open your hand
Step 6- send this to 10 other friends

Results- your crush will say they like you on the day

DON'T STOP READING!!

remember, THIS REALLY HAPPEND! Dont believe me? Once a business man named Oliver, read this, he scoffed and didn't send it to anyone THE NEXT DAY he found his cat and two children DEAD then I came though to tell him that he was next and it was all because he didn't share it to 10 friends. Oliver's dead head will show in your room.

If you do share this post LIKE YOU SHOULD you're crush will call you on the date that you share and ask for date, this will lead to a relationship, this will be long term, IF YOU'RE CRUSH IS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY DON'T WORRY!! THIS WILL STILL WORK BUT IT WILL BE LONG DISTANCE! After years of being together and together, there will be hardships that you will face but you will get through all because you share this, after 3 years and 237 days, she/he will ask you to marry you, if you decline then the good effects of sharing this post will be negated and you will be sad and lonly and on the street and doing drugs but they are bad drugs that are bad to take and it will not be good for you're health but you cann't offord to go to hospital because you are on the street and sad and lonly and bad luck will happen THIS WAS YOU'RE FUALT! But if you do sahre this to 10 friends and you do say yes, then you go on a honey moon period and you will have s*x and it will be very hot. Look back to the top of this chain, see that conversation? that is the conversation you will have with you're crush. #Mastodon #Politics #Technology #Innovation #Photography #Finance #TravelPhotography #Mindfulness

Allerdings werden sie nicht von (rechten) Tech-Bro Milliardare betrieben, sondern von (mehr oder weniger normalen) Leute wie du oder ich. Die Plattformen werden ganz ohne kommerzielle Interessen betrieben und es gibt auch kein Algorithmus, der Leute manipulieren kann.

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-beta.1+mementomods-2026-06-07, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly). Yes, beta, Mastodon has officially crossed from alpha into beta on the road to 4.6.

This update includes today's latest daily build with 119 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-05-26.

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

✨️ New features

- Mastodon hit v4.6.0-beta.1, the version we've been chasing through the alpha cycle has crossed into beta, signalling the upstream 4.6 release is getting close
- Collections is in beta! You can now use them on Mementomori.social
- Export Custom Filters, you can finally back up or migrate your filter rules
- A new direct link from Privacy and reach settings to your profile editor saves a click
- Rule acceptance during signup is now a form (better keyboard and assistive tech support)
- Vertical text editing in the alt text editor for languages that write top-to-bottom
- Three new languages in the languages helper: Lazuri, Mingrelian, and Ottoman Turkish
- "Hidden account" message is less misleading when you visit a profile you can't see
- Several internal refactors (BundleColumnError ported to TypeScript, copy-to-clipboard extracted into a hook) that should make future patches smoother

🔧 Fixes & improvements

- Pile of Collections fixes: editor no longer lets you add the same account twice, ValidationError when loading many collections at once is gone, missing null check when importing collections from notifications, and an "about page" error when selecting a non-default Rules language
- Custom filter export had a wrongly-named param
- Profile API documentation link in CHANGELOG corrected
- "Change thumbnail" button no longer shows when it shouldn't
- Server rules and the custom closed-registrations message no longer break
- Custom emoji formatting in usernames inside the `EmptyState` component fixed
- Trending links: author name spacing tightened
- Advanced UI navigation overflow issue fixed
- Signature verification handles invalid keys gracefully
- Container builds no longer fail when the repo name has uppercase characters
- Blocked domains no longer linger in the Elasticsearch InstancesIndex after being unblocked
- Admin Mailer trends mail rendering fixed
- Stylesheet imports are now recursive

♿ Accessibility

- New `PageUp` and `PageDown` hotkeys for list navigation
- Post/feed hotkey navigation made more robust
- Differentiated accessible labels for About links in the footer

📦 Dependency updates

- Vite 8.0.16, Yarn 4.16.0, Sass 1.100.0, Sidekiq 8.1.6, ioredis 5.11.0, ws 8.21.0, axios 1.17.0, react-redux 9.3.0, @reduxjs/toolkit 2.12.0, pg 8.21.0, plus a security update for `@vitest/browser` and many smaller bumps

🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-beta.1.rc (nightly)

This release adds Bird UI styling for the now-live Collections feature:

- Collections nav icon renders again (it was hidden by Bird UI's broad column-link icon-path reset)
- "Follows you" badge in account list items (collections lists, follower lists) uses the same dark pill style as in profiles
- Verified link badge in account list items mirrors the profile field verified style: Bird UI's tick icon and accent link color in place of the green gradient SVG
- All badges in account list items drop the core 4px padding so they sit flush in the row

Plus navigation polish:

- Notifications now sits in the second slot of the side navigation menu, right after Home
- Trends heading no longer renders a stray bottom border

Anyone recommending a better Mastodon client these days? Ice cubes stopped working for me, Mammoth doesn't load threads and stopped getting updates, and Mastodon only has a following feed, not a federated feed, which I heavily rely on. #mastodon #client #mastodonclient

RE: https://skatspelunke.eu/@gruener_skatbruder/116697587868655481

Ein starkes Argument für Mastodon sind die interessanten Posts.

Wie dieser hier von @gruener_skatbruder gegen die Rechtsmimesis von Bundeskanzler Merz (CDU). 👇

Da musste ich auch als Solarpunk & Christdemokrat erst spontan nicken, dann sehnsüchtig seufzen… 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺🌱

RE: https://ruhr.social/@nona/116707563934038752

Weil ja die meisten hier auf Mastodon politisch nach links tendieren, möchte ich Euch diesen klugen Druko 👇 von @nona zu einem Solarpunk - Dialog empfehlen! ✅

Mir geht es dabei erstmal noch gar nicht um Moral, sondern um Psychologie:

Rechte neigen öfter zur Reaktanz, Linke öfter zur Arroganz.

Und ich halte das als Moderater für ein riesiges Demokratie - Problem, weil sich dadurch akademisierte Milieus & Parteien immer wieder in Blasen abschließen und an Rechtspopulisten verlieren! 🤔🔥

Wer da mal philosophisch vertieft einsteigen möchte, findet das schon beim ex-kommunistischen Erkenntnistheoretiker Karl Popper als „Historizismus“. 📚

Und wer nicht möchte, dass auch das Fediverse zur Dauerempörungsblase wird, kommt damit auch dialogisch weiter.

One of the killer features from @HolosSocial is for me, that you can use your own domain.

This means, as a band, author etc you can promote everywhere your handle with @name@my_own_domain.tld

This is so perfect. This means your handle will still be correct if the instance you chose in the beginning is not alive anymore.

I would love to see this feature in #Mastodon, #Pixelfed #loops #peertube and the #bridge

@dansup

Great you have that planned too, exactly what I wrote here https://chaos.social/@joergi/116693955340766744

🤝

I really hope that comes not only to loops, but also to #pixelfed, #mastodon and the #fedibridge.

If you need inspiration, @HolosSocial has already implemented this, it works perfectly.

TIL about Bridgy Fed and European.social during the excellent 'Strength through Diversity' panel at @publicspaces! 🔥

"Bridgy Fed is a decentralized social network bridge. It connects the fediverse, the web, and Bluesky." I'm really impressed with the coalition of open social web orgs working together!! 👏👏
