mastodon

Immer noch relativ #NeuHier im #fediverse / #mastodon . Schon paar Jahrzehnte auf diesem Planeten aber versteht immer noch nicht was die hier herrschende Spezies eigentlich für'n Problem hat.

As @FreddieJ comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved.

Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast.

Instrumental in building our relationships with others in this space, he has helped build the Foundation into what you see today.

We really hope that Freddie will stay involved in the Social Web, especially in areas of advocacy and policy where he excels.

But, for now, we just want to say a huge thank you 🧡

I’ve been experiencing a number of symptoms on this account for several weeks, at least.

Outbound toots are delayed by a great deal (~1h). They don’t show up on others’ TLs until long after I’ve posted. I suspect this varies by the other instance. I sometimes get much faster responses from certain users despite a general, overall delay of about an hour.

When there is a reaction or response to a post, I first see it on the Notifications tab in the UI (web or app) & often more or less right away. Then much later (typically an hour or so), a push notification shows up.

I suspect this has something to do with my instance, c.im, though the status page is always green. I wonder if it involves versions of #Mastodon or something (currently 4.4.3 on c.im). I’ve always assumed it would eventually clear up, but no sign of that yet.

So I think before long I may start another account. Idk if I’ll migrate this one or just have a second account. At least, maybe I can prove that the delay doesn’t follow the change of instance. Not sure what else it could be.

So I’ll go digging again, but in case anyone has opinions, any recommendations for new instances? I want to avoid the big, populous ones like mastodon.social. I chose c.im in part for high limits on posts (8 poll options, 5k char limit, etc). I also use the search function extensively. I think it’s not available by default, so not every instance has it. (Not sure if that’s right.)

The new version of @mastowatch is in #Testflight!

The navigation scheme for the app has been totally rebuilt and feels *awesome* in iOS 26. The prior version immediately feels ancient by comparison.

This version also includes maybe the most requested feature ever, iCloud syncing for favorites! History is still stored on your device but favorites should sync to any device running the new version.

Fediverse friends and acquaintances:
when self-hosting a service, what do you prefer?

I need your help to improve the developer experience (DevX) of #badgefed. #fediverse #askfedi #mastodon #activitypub

⚠️ Scam warning: there are accounts posing as Mastodon admins claiming to offer "rewards" or "payments" or "partnerships".

These are scams. There are no reward or payment schemes on Mastodon. No genuine admin would ever send this kind of post or reply.

If you see scam posts like the ones in the screenshot below, report them by clicking ⋯ on the scam posts and then selecting "report".

🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER. 🚨

Currently there are scammers who want you to click a link by acting like #Mastodon staff

Please REPORT these accounts so we can ban them across the #Fediverse

WE DO NOT VERIFY PEOPLE ON MASTODON

Pro tip: keep a couple of alt accounts on different instances to log into when your main is undergoing maintenance or … technical issues

#BundeskanzlerMerz hält an X fest, hat er @annaluehrmann verraten.

Die EU-Kommission hat gegen X gerade eine 120-Mio.-Euro-Strafe verhängt, weil X dem Digital Services Act nicht nachgekommen ist. #Bundeskanzler #Merz sollte auf @Mastodon und im Fediverse präsent sein! Um den Einstieg zu erleichtern, schenken @algorithmwatch und @wikimediaDE ihm zu #Weihnachten sein eigenes Konto bei #Mastodon: @BundeskanzlerMerz !

Bums me out that no #mastodon client allows you to click on the link to a user’s follows or followers and actually see all the people they follow or who follow them.

So excited that quote posts are rolling out. It's not a 'me too' copy but a well thought out release that protects user privacy. No other platform has taken the time to be this thorough.

This is a subtle feature and hard to discuss because so many assume quoting is ONLY about dunking. It's not! We've learned by talking to community leaders that it's a powerful tool to build community.

#Mastodon will be better, and safer, with this.

Reppin’ the Fedi:

“I don’t use Youtube, I use #Peertube,
(for uploads, #Invidious for viewing),
I won’t use Insta, it’s #Pixelfed,
I f**ked off Facebook for #Friendica,
X/Twitter, whatever, find me on #Mastodon,
I shed it: Reddit for #Piefed, 🔵
TikTok it won’t take long for your groups, 🩴
to flick flock to #Loops.”

@board 联邦宇宙生存小指南

1. 勤备份：
在你所在的网站选择：“导入与导出” (/settings/export)
找到你的关注(保证信息来源)、存档(保证数据安全)，导出数据(csv & zip)
如何查看存档：https://mstdn.feddit.social/@admin/115888132270014875

2. 多账号：狡兔三窟，特别是没有稳定代理工具的小伙伴，除了大站，也可以多注册小站，需要注意的是：大站容易被屏蔽，甚至被拿下，小站容易跑路，推荐使用 https://instances.social 查找心仪的实例

3. 多平台：联邦宇宙（fediverse）有着非常丰富的生态，不止有Mastodon，你可以在fedidb找到更多遵循Activitypub协议的平台：
1. Misskey（日系微博客）
2. Pixelfed（图片驱动微博客）
3. Lemmy（论坛交流，非微博客）
4. Peertube（视频分享，非微博客）
5. Akkoma/Pleroma（极简微博客）
6. Loops（TikTok在Fediverse的替代品，处于初步宣传阶段，我的Loops: https://loops.feddit.social ）
7. GoToSocial（微博客，对于单人非常友好）
等等......

4. 安全：在账号设置里开启两步验证，不使用临时、国内邮箱注册，不使用非开源/没有经过社区验证的第三方软件，再次推荐phanpy.social 和 elk.zone

无论你选择哪个平台、哪个实例，这里没有也不应该有“垃圾广告”、算法，有的只是真实的人和内容。

再推一下我的实例：https://mstdn.feddit.social/@admin/116152914493249509

I love how thoughtful the Mastodon blog post about introducing quote posting is. A really interesting way the team could be even more impactful on the open social web would be to share their research findings and the thinking that went into these sorts of features - that's the sort of body of knowledge everyone could learn from. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/introducing-quote-posts/

For anyone who might have missed it, the new beta is live on #Testflight!

iCloud sync for favorites is the showcase feature but the new navigation is also *chef’s kiss*

Let's live-toot the adding of quote-posting to #Mastodon for #AppleII, in case it interests some nerds.
First of all, let's detect whether a toot is quotable: https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/commit/275c282698a18169fcd0bda3ffbc0af55cbdbfe2
The JSON field `quote_approval.current_user` of a Status entity will either contain `automatic`, `manual`, `denied` or `unsupported_policy`. We'll consider everything but `denied` as quotable.
If the field doesn't exist, for retro-compatibility, we'll use a default `d`.

In the commit you'll see that we compare the first character of that field to `d`, this is much tighter size-wise than an strcmp().
