#Fedilab 3.36.0-beta-4 is available. We need feedback from beta testers using #Misskey. Full release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.36.0-beta-4
If we only have minor fixes with the last beta, we should be able to publish #Fedilab 3.36.0 in production this weekend.
There are a lot of changes and fixes (see all beta release notes at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases)
Also, Fedilab now supports #Misskey, so don't hesitate to share so we can get more feedback. Thank you!

还有Misskey，但是闲置着
#fediverse #sharkey #misskey #admin #selfhosted #server
While working on #Fedify, I noticed something about how #Misskey handles #ActivityPub object access. When a remote server requests a followers-only post or DM with a valid HTTP Signatures (draft-cavage) from an authorized actor, Misskey still returns 404 instead of the content. It seems Misskey only checks the visibility field (public/home) without verifying the signature at all.
#Mastodon takes a different approach—when #authorized_fetch is enabled, it validates the HTTP Signatures and returns the content if the requesting actor has permission. I think it would be beneficial if Misskey could adopt a similar mechanism, since it would better respect the access control semantics that ActivityPub intends. Has anyone else run into this, or are there specific reasons Misskey handles it this way?
Just added a small feature in Catodon, which might not sound that important but it's a quality of life improvement that I think Sharkey and Misskey admins will appreciate: You can now set "Alt names" for custom emoji - other names that still work, even if they are not advertised as the specific emoji's name. This helps a lot when you want to rename or delete an emoji, but you know that past posts on your server will now look like :abandonedEmojiName:. Now, when you rename a custom emoji, the old name is automatically added to its Alt names, so that any post that still has the old name works. Or, if you delete a custom emoji, you can add its name as an existing similar emoji's alt name.

Some of you might already be using
#Misskey forks (like Iceshrimp, Firefish, or Sharkey) that already work with #Fedilab. This is because their devs implemented the Mastodon API for broader compatibility.
Our first step was to achieve similar behavior but by fully using the dedicated Misskey API.
Now, we'll be able to add features that are specific to Misskey.
FediSuite - Your Fediverse Management Platform
Version 1.6.2 released!
Changes
Version 1.6.1 already brought a complete redesign of FediSuite.
If you like FediSuite and think this project deserves a bit of support, feel free to show it with toots and boosts across the Fediverse! Of course, there's also the option of financial support. Just use the yellow buttons in the FediSuite app or on the FediSuite website! Thank you very much!

Stella.place 在昨天無預警關站，因為是無預警的關站，又是韓文圈最大的Misskey實例，所以應該會很多難民。
難怪剛剛進去的時候連錯誤訊息都沒有，原來已經關站了😭

#Loops updated their API docs. The way it is built is really a help for app devs. Currently, #Fedilab supports the #Mastodon, #PeerTube and #Misskey APIs. I personally think that adding Loops with their dedicated API would be a nice and good fit with Fedilab's purpose, and the poll results seem to go that way :)
感覺RSS閱讀器還蠻類似Mastodon或Misskey等社群的首頁時間軸，一樣一開始都是空白沒有東西的，也不會有演算法推給你東西。
要增加內容就是要去訂閱想看的網站，這和Mastodon或Misskey等要去追蹤喜歡的帳號內容一樣，自己決定想看到什麼樣的內容。
One of the things that have me seriously worried about AI lately is how easy it gets for bots to make Fediverse accounts - they can bypass bot protection guards at registration, as they can act more and more like humans. A mass influx of spambots could seriously bring servers to their knees and make the network unusable. So we need stronger moderation tools!
Our next release will not only have more moderation options per user, but you will be able to apply them to up to 100 accounts at once. I really hope fedi admins won't need to deal with something like that, but it's always better to be prepared to defend your community.
#Fedle received several fixes.
- Spanish now treats Ñ as its own letter, and its dictionary has been improved.
- It also fixes federation issues for #Misskey and #Sharkey.
- Announcements and results now have a dedicated tag per language, like #Fedle_es, #Fedle_en etc.
#Fedle is a daily word game on the #Fediverse.

Sharkey is generally no longer actively maintained. Much like IceShrimp, which shifted its focus from IceShrimp-js to IceShrimp.net, Sharkey is effectively in "maintenance mode only." This means it still receives critical security updates and required patches, but it generally no longer tracks upstream Misskey development.
Sharkey's latest release: 2025.4.7
Misskey's latest release: 2026.9.0
I had to laugh when, back on January 13, 2026, they titled a release "2025.4.5 — We'll catch up, we promise." The release right before that had been 6 months earlier. In all the time since, they've only pushed out 2 security updates (2025.4.6 and 2025.4.7). They are now well over a year behind Misskey's development.
If anyone has the time and skills, I hope someone builds a script to migrate Sharkey sites back to Misskey. Since Sharkey is a fork of Misskey (as was FireFish), it should be possible and is a smart precaution.

Alright, we're looking for beta testers for Catodon's mobile app, as Google demands 12 testers having it installed (and ideally using it) for at least 14 days.
The app is nothing exciting tbh, it's a glorified TWA, which allows you to switch server. However, it might be interesting for some people because you don't need a Catodon account: If you select catodon.rocks, you can also use it with your Mastodon or Misskey or Sharkey account (basically with anything that uses the Mastodon, Misskey or ActivityPub API), as an app. You can get a taste of Catodon's UX this way, even though you'll be missing a lot of features. Or of course you can make a Catodon account if you don't have one yet.
So, if anyone is interested in installing our app and keeping it for at least a couple of weeks, please send me the email that you're logged into Google Play with, and I'll send you the links.
Thank you, and please repost this, so that we can find our testing group!
FediSuite 1.6.3
Your Fediverse Management Platform
FediSuite 1.6.3 is out. At its center is reach for public Fediverse posts. Likes, boosts, and replies show reactions, but not how many accounts likely saw a post. That's why FediSuite now calculates an estimated gross and net reach based on the FediWings model.
Gross reach counts possible visibility through the author and boosters. Net reach subtracts out double counting. If the same account boosts several parts of a thread, it doesn't get counted multiple times in the total. FediSuite treats threads as one connected post instead of artificially inflating each segment. These are the details that turn a nice-looking number into a useful one.
The calculation runs in the background for new and already imported posts. Older posts get their turn too, gradually. In the overview, the dashboard, and the top posts list, you can sort by net or gross reach. A badge links directly to the methodology page. It explains how the formula works, what it's based on, and where its limits are. Reach is an estimate, not an oracle. That's exactly why the explanation belongs right next to the number, not in some blog post nobody finds.
It's worth reconnecting your own Fediverse accounts in FediSuite, so that every post actually gets imported at full length. Then it takes a bit of patience: gross and net reach are only calculated after the historical import finishes, and then in small intervals. It can take an hour or two before all the reach numbers are available.
Along the way, 1.6.3 cleans up quite a bit: the time axes on the growth charts finally stick to the selected period, import progress shows its actual phase, and post rows can now be expanded. When fetching reach data, FediSuite now caps concurrent requests per instance at six. A full queue now drains much faster, without flooding small remote instances with requests.
There were also, of course, plenty of smaller changes and fixes under the hood:
#fedisuite #fediverse #analytics #statistics #mastodon #friendica #peertube #pixelfed #loops #pleroma #misskey
People who love photography in the #Fediverse are probably already aware of #Vernissage, an open source photo-sharing project.
It has its own API, but like I did with #Misskey a few months ago, I think I could bring it to #Fedilab.
The idea is to support its endpoints and map the responses to what the app already uses, especially since Fedilab has a media-only view.
What do you think?
