Does anyone here self host Mastodon with @yunohost ?

I'm just curious how well it works given Masto's reputation for being tricky to upgrade without breaking?

Please boost for a larger sample size! Tx!

Truth Social was born out of Mastodon
And so were a lot of extremist instances which are still active and popular.

The nature of the Fediverse and by extension most FOSS is that they are open and unrestrictive with their software access/usage.

On the other hand, it did also give rise to a lot of political groups from varying parts of the political spectrum.

I think so social media platforms shouldn't lean towards one side of the spectrum. A diverse set of views and opinions should be welcome. But it almost never is the case. Each platform is known for having one kind of bias or the other.

Take Bluesky, it's filled with Left-leaning people who left Twitter because of Musk/Trump. There's a homogeneity to the politics of the opinions shared over there. Some would call it an "Echo Chamber."

Truth Social- Only MAGA idiots.

X- a bit of both.

Fediverse- Depends on the instance. :) One can interact with all kinds of people here, and I think that's a good thing as far as exposure & bias is concerned.

Does Mastodon actually have a enforcement ban policy?

Would someone like to explain to me how I link my #mastodon account to the #peertube app?

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

I am annoyed by fake progress bars.

I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.

If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar. 🤬

And yes, #Mastodon image viewer, I'm talking about you. 🫵

That is all. Carry on.

Does anyone know how to get @pixelfed posts to also show up here on @Mastodon? Is there any sort of cross-posting? I’m thinking of how instagram posts can automatically show up on the FacePlace. Is that a thing? Or does it have to be done manually? 🤔

#pixelfed #crossposting #mastodon #fediverse

Is there any #ActivityPub / #Mastodon URI scheme used in the wild that would allow me to open an ActivityPub account directly in my Android app?

I've seen 'acct' and 'web+ap' mentioned but none seem to be implemented.

The goal is that given a text of "Here is my Mastodon profile acct:daniel@gultsch.social" #Conversations_im can link that directly into #Tusky. (Just like mailto and xmpp URIs open my E-Mail or IM app respectively)

Have @apps or @Tusky considered that? If not why not?

Maybe it is because my self-hosted #Mastodon server went down 14-hours yesterday due to a Debian package update that screwed up NGINX and server admin is heavily on my mind, but I woke up in a panic, even screaming "Oh F*ck" ready to take action, because I was in a realistic dream that I had a WordPress blog that received thousands of spam replies with links and when I went to delete all those out of quarantine, I actually approved them and fed the ActvitiyPub firehose tens of thousands of spam.

It left me with wondering if replies originating on a #ActivityPub enabled #WordPress blog federates or not. Time to do some reading.

Pero es que es verdad!. #Mastodon andará muy lindo desde tal o cual aplicación en Android o iOS .. pero en cuanto abrís un perfil en el navegador del móvil: se arrastra!.

Es increíble la cantidad de porquería que tiene que cargar el navegador para poder acceder al contenido en ActivityPub mientras que #snac logra lo mismo con un uso mínimo de recursos! Sin cookies, sin JavaScript, sin estupideces .. solo una implementación sensata y buen código!

Gracias @grunfink@comam.es 🤗

I'm having an odd issue on ioc.exchange where I cannot follow an account on Mastodon.cloud and cannot DM it either. The account in question is @OCCRP. I control it -- neither the follow request nor the DMs from my IOC.exchange account come through.

If I try to follow OCCRP from IOC.exchange, the status remains "Follow Requested", even though I checked the settings on the OCCRP account and follow do not have to be authorized.

However, people from other servers do seem to be able to follow and mention @OCCRP

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Good morning Fedi friends!

It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!

I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of #PeerTube from the POV of a creator.

I just set up my own account on #MakerTube - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).

Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels

I have been able to follow it from #Mastodon and #Friendica without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my #GoToSocial username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)

Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞​

P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.

Is there a way to discuss #hyperlocal things on #mastodon / #fediverse / #activitypub ?

Microblogging peaked when Tumblr peaked. I'm surprised no one has made an app that adjusted the #Mastodon feed to look more like #Tumblr (content ABOVE the caption, + text only posts, reblog comments BELOW original content, etc).

I saw @dansup was heading that direction in OG #pixelfed days years back, but more #Instagram style later.

But yo, #Fediverse - what do you think? Do you miss peak Tumblr? Am I crazy?

Hallo #Kiel (und Umgebung)!

@maxleibman @andrewfeeney Don't worry, there's no shortage of Nicoles who you can call the Fediverse Chick :D

They're all proud Polish girls from Toronto (29 y/o).

Urban legend says that it all started because of a PhD student's ethically questionable cloning experiment that's gone horribly awry.

There's now whole university lectures filled entirely with Nicoles who are taking the pre-health sciences program at George Brown College.

It's an absolute nightmare marking essays. The poor lecturers don't know which Fediverse Chick to assign the grade to.

And forget about recording tutorial attendance. The lecturer calls out "Nicole" and the whole room yells back "present"!

They're all hoping to get into the medical field someday!

You could fix how Mastodon and the Fediverse uses WebFinger if WebFinger could point to multiple profiles.

I can’t block the account because clicking on the avatar doesn’t take me to the account’s page—just does a short buffer.

Table III Top 10 Federated Online Social Networks (Nov. 2, 2019)

The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.

With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

@BeAware @Plasticbluemusic Yeah, one thing I wish was a bit more streamlined was following new fesi accounts on other apps. I don’t mind copy/pasting names I want to follow into to #mastodon. Least that’s my experience with #peertube and #pixelfed

As I explore the #fediverse, I love the idea of #Mastodon more, but then a lot of people I really want to follow are on #BlueSky. @openvibe is amazing, but I kinda want to share stuff I find cool to everyone on both platforms. So many other thoughts, but I hit the bluesky limit.

What about the Fediverse or Mastodon, etc, frustrates you or confuses you?

#DeSo #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #FediUX #Mastodon

A couple of months ago I tried to migrate my #Mastodon account (this one) to my #snac instance (https://suigow.com) and it wouldn't work.

While testing tonight, I figured it out. Even though the bug is fixed, it looks like it might not be. Mastodon caches accounts and for some reason doesn't pick up the alias.

I did an update of the profile of the receiving account that caused it to update the profile on the Mastodon instance. That fixed it, the migration worked.

#Fediverse #Fedi #Mastodon #ActivityPub #Docker

People just don't get Mastodon.

Even, in my case, people with a background in experimental art and political activism. I'm currently involved in endless online discussions about Mastodon vs. Bluesky, and people just don't understand what it's about and why one is preferable to the other.

The language of "instances" and "decentralisation" completely confuses them (and it would be much more helpful to use more understandable, jargon-free language such as "globally interconnected community servers").

Everyone thinks that in Mastodon/the Fediverse/a decentralised network you can only communicate and connect with people on your own instance, and doesn't understand that you can also post, read and connect globally across instances.

I am afraid that after 25 years the cultural hegemony of internet platforms is irreversible. Mastodon confuses people because it looks like a platform.

#mastodon #fediverse #decentralization

Just a reminder: everything you do on social media is public. Even if you delete a post on your instance, it can still exist on other instances, in the cache of search engines or private databases.

Anyone got an idea?
