fediverse
As 2025 starts we can expect a lot of change to many social media platforms with the rise of AI
We will never ever take such steps!
I keep our services running purely by donations from people on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse and sometimes that's a little hard but it is and will be the only way
If you can and want, we can do this together❤️

It can be different 💪
You don't have to speak English on here. There are lots of servers listed which use other languages:

If your language isn't listed, let me know and I can try to look for servers to list that match your language.

If you're interested in building your own #ActivityPub server but don't know where to start, I recommend checking out #Fedify's #tutorial Creating your own federated microblog. It provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide that walks you through building a fully functional federated application. Perfect for developers who want to dive into the #fediverse!
Hey, we're testing a new Fediverse integration that brings #WordPress calendar events to #Fediverse event platforms like Mobilizon, Gancio, Friendica, and Hubzilla.

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.
So... Has anyone on here actually talked with the people from the #SocialWebFoundation?
I can tell the #Mastodon Organization has, but #Threads is also listed there, while I don't see any other names that aren't some corporate entity. I'm all for groups that want to expand the #Fediverse, even for-profit ones, but it's a red flag when an organization that purports to be for a general movement doesn't have an open line of communication with rank-and-file server-runners and volunteers...
Edit:
I just realized that it was founded by @evan who is actually very active in mainstream Fedi, and one of the maintainers of the actual protocol. While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou

You may have heard that @Flipboard brought 250 publishers to the Fediverse this week. Here are just a few news outlets you might want to follow:
You can follow their entire profile, or just follow the topical Magazines that you're interested in. For example, if you want world news, follow @world-news-CBSNews. Or if you want Canadian news, follow @canada-cbcnews

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!
Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.
Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust #Fedify foundation.

What a whirlwind 72 hours in #Brussels for #FOSDEM! Everyone I met has been working so so hard to build technology explicitly trying to break out of a broken system of corporate hegemony. There were so many different fields present here but I primarily focused on the #fediverse track.
I’m proud to have once again played a small role in pushing  #Mastodon and the #Fediverse forward. Today’s announcement is an important step in bringing greater community ownership and governance to @Mastodon

#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram.
Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?"
Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse.
Edit: I love the ideas and discussions this post is stirring up!

Newcomers keep coming here. Welcome everyone!
Don’t forget, a good transition is a soft transition. Habits needs to be planted, and then grow. Here, no company wants you to develop addiction and click on ads, so there is a discovery time you may want to take to build your Fediverse network! Enjoy this time!
Also ask me anything, I am a 7 years old fedi citizen maybe able to help, or find someone who can.

Most Fediverse communities operate on donations, and overall our survey participants are not generating enough money to cover costs.
Very few moderators are receiving any compensation for their labour.
This is your reminder to donate to your admin if you’re able to.
