A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

- Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

- Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

- Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

- Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

- Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

- Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

- The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

- Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

And now, let's start!

Será que alguém consegue convencer o John , que também aguarda por Markdown, a fazer isso logo?

Só permanece faltando, na interface Web , bolar alguma maneira de facilitar a seleção de emoji sem depender de JavaScript — SNAC é limpo disso . Por enquanto, é necessário decorar os códigos. Precariamente, tento manter os emojis personalizados num rascunho, para consultar.

#fediversepower #snac2 #snac #buildyourown

Curiosidade #blambers: o visual dos emojis, tecnicamente definidos pelo padrão Unicode, depende da fonte de caracteres utilizada. Aqui no #SNAC e em outras de minhas páginas, coloquei a fonte do projeto OpenMoji. Notem como são diferentes do que os que apresenta, que acho que vêm da fonte Noto Color Emoji, oriunda do Google e que costuma figurar no Android, embora dependa da fábrica (Samsung acho que tem a própria). Então, fiz isso para teimar mesmo tentar depender menos do , ainda que indiretamente. Outra fonte frequente é Twemoji, originalmente criada para o finado Twitter. Há várias mesmo. 🤓

Comentei esse detalhe porque demorei bastante até perceber isso. Só quando precisei lidar com problemas.

Well, ok. It looks like a phone app, has no title bar, and the scrollbars are typical horrible phone-style scrollbars, but it works.

#Tokodon just gave me a server error trying to authenticate to snac. :/

This is not the manual; man pages snac(1) (user manual), snac(5) (formats) and snac(8) (administrator manual) are what you are looking for.

Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
