mastodon

If you've recently joined the fediverse, and are maybe on a smaller server, things might feel a bit isolated.

Fediverse does require a little more effort compared to traditional social media. This is where the community has really stepped in and created some great tools, like these bots that share trending posts from servers across the fediverse.

Here are a few more tips and resources for filling up your home feed:

#FediHood will use the #Mastodon API for all common endpoints, since there is no reason to break compatibility with existing apps. #Fedilab will support the new endpoints for location and filters.

if you hide the featured tab in #mastodon 4.6 #fedicat will respect that setting and not show featured tags/posts/accounts/collections on your profile

Now also the profile page is working when using Pixelix with Vernissage. It also shows the banner image if the user has one (also the banners from Mastodon users).

And the liked-posts-page is implemented too.

The fact that #Mastodon exists and is somewhat successful is so impressive. We take it for granted today, but imagine if it it did not exist and someone suggested building a free software version of Twitter. Would anyone even think of it as feasible?

You can't spell "Fediverse" without "diverse"!

This is great!

"The way we handle reports is proportional, context-aware, and, wherever we can, aimed at helping people put things right rather than simply penalising them."

ATENCIÓN ⚠️ Mis servicios web dejarán de estar disponibles pronto.

A partir del primero de diciembre de 2026 mis servicios web basados en software libre dejarán de funcionar. Los servicios que se verán afectados por esto son los siguientes:

• SearXNG (https://search.autumn64.xyz/)
• Redlib (https://redlib.autumn64.xyz/)
• Lingva (https://translate.autumn64.xyz/)

Después del 1ro de diciembre estos sitios serán dados de baja permanentemente y no se podrán utilizar más, ni prestarán servicio. Mi página web seguirá estando activa y no será dada de baja.

Esta es una decisión muy difícil para mí, pero algunas de las situaciones que me han llevado a tomarla son:

• La falta de apoyo por parte de la comunidad.
• Por el momento soy incapaz de sufragar el gasto de mantener un servidor o una VPS para estos servicios.
• Mis actividades profesionales me dejan muy poco tiempo libre, lo que me impide darle un mantenimiento adecuado a mis servicios.
• Hay cientos de instancias de los mismos servicios de personas que hacen un mucho mejor trabajo que yo y que pueden darle la dedicación que se merece.

Agradezco muchísimo todo el apoyo que he recibido por parte de ustedes en estos 2 años de trabajo y difusión. ¡Muchas gracias!

There are 14 million total accounts on the fediverse that @fedidb measures; that’s a ~40% increase over the last two years!

…but there’s a lot more the fediverse can do to grow.

@evan is live now discussing this in the @fedicon track of FOSSY.

https://ubc.ca.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=90a26e9a-8dd4-439b-9941-b49d01781e51

We’re at FediCon to learn and share how the fediverse can use open source tools to help keep those 14 million accounts safe from the harms that affect every online service.

More about how moderation will work on #FediHood.

FediHood is a way to talk with people near you without telling anyone who you are or where exactly you live. It uses the #Fediverse with the #Mastodon API for common endpoints, so it already works with most apps such as #Fedilab. Moderation is at the heart of this new app on the Fedi. The success of the project depends on it.
(1/5)

#FediHood now lets you sign up and log in with your #Mastodon account. It only uses the minimal API scope "read:accounts", and the token is immediately revoked. Your Mastodon identity is never shown nor federated.

Without an account, the app suggests a handle and you pick a city, no email and no password to manage. With an existing account, you can link your Mastodon account to it, and each Mastodon account can only be linked once.

#FediHood should be easy to use, with a very simple interface. It fully uses #ActivityPub and is compatible with the #Mastodon API (tested with #Fedilab). It will of course bring extra endpoints related to how it works. The project reuses the combined work from #HolosSocial and #PawFed.

Here are some screenshots of the Web UI.

Invisible Women, Data Bias in a World Designed For Men

paraphrasing:
...so much data fails to take into account gender...and women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, money, and often wtth their lives"
