<p>My <a href="/tags/fediforumfriday/" rel="tag">#FediforumFriday</a> update this week is that I've been tinkering around at the MVP end of the fediverse, trying out projects like <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> (and also, honk). I really need to write some of these experiences down somewhere! Also, preparing for my talk at <a href="/tags/froscon/" rel="tag">#FrOSCON</a> next weekend.</p><p>What are you looking at that's interesting and <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>-related right now?</p>

<p>Oh, it's also <a href="/tags/fediforumfriday/" rel="tag">#FediforumFriday</a> which reminds me that folks should check out talks from <a href="/tags/fedicon/" rel="tag">#Fedicon</a> a couple of weekends ago! and also, get tickets for the next <a href="/tags/fediforum/" rel="tag">#Fediforum</a> coming up in October. <a href="https://fediforum.org/news/2025-08-06-fediforum-fall-announced/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fediforum.org/news/2025-08-06-fediforum-fall-announced/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fediforum.org/news/2025-08-06-</span><span class="invisible">fediforum-fall-announced/</span></a></p>
<p>For another <a href="/tags/fediforumfriday/" rel="tag">#FediforumFriday</a> I want to give a shout-out to a nice tool for creating threads on Mastodon - Splinter <a href="https://splinter.hastily.cc/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>splinter.hastily.cc/</a> </p><p>I used this yesterday for the first time, to post a series of updates about the videos from PublicSpaces last week. Useful stuff, and added to my list of power tools.</p>
<p>In exciting <a href="/tags/fediforumfriday/" rel="tag">#FediForumFriday</a> news that technically was last Friday but it was so close to the wire I'm sharing anyway, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fediforum</span></a></span> got their keynotes and demos uploaded along with the notes from June's <a href="/tags/fediforum/" rel="tag">#FediForum</a> so you can go and check out all the amazing things that happened there for free: <a href="https://fediforum.org/2025-06/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fediforum.org/2025-06/</a> .</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <br><a href="https://fediforum.org/2025-06/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fediforum.org/2025-06/</a></p>
<p>Sneaking in a quick <a href="/tags/fediforumfriday/" rel="tag">#FediforumFriday</a> post! I’m really interested in <a href="https://wanderer.to/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>wanderer.to/</a> which is a trails database / app that federates. Would be great to have them demo at a future <a href="/tags/fediforum/" rel="tag">#Fediforum</a> 🤞🏻</p>
