🥳 Announcing Splinter, your #fediverse tool for creating #Mastodon threads.
Splinter is a simple, self-explanatory app. It's a fun, non-profit, open-source side project.
I use Splinter all the time myself now; There must be others who need it. Please share to help them find it!
A new release of TootSDK - 14.1.0 📣
https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK/releases/tag/14.1.0
What's changed:
- Add missing MediaAttachment properties @dale_price
Community contributions are greatly appreciated 🙌
It seems like a perfect time to (re)introduce ⁂ as a symbol for the fediverse! Read our proposal at https://symbol.fediverse.info
After @zuck changed #Meta’s content policy around offensive content, I noticed that the number of sites that @threads previously blocked have now been unblocked: https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
Sites previously blocked for trolling 🧌, or promoting vulgar content (like Baraag whose existence is evil) are also now unblocked.
Curiously, all #Pixelfed instances are still “muted,” although #Fediverse handles will still show up on #Threads.
Hey everyone! Just FYI, I am going to be changing my username on here to @ cyberseckyle. Of course, as y'all know, I am going to have to create a new account. 😒
Be on the lookout for this change and me refriending you during the upcoming days.
Thanks!

Hey les Fédicamarades, on a pensé à un plan d'action pour aller fédérer les groupes publics des réseaux propriétaires (IG, FB surtout) ?
Parce que pour les artistes (spectacle ou plastique), les artisan·es ou les assos, je vois quelques motifs rédhibitoires de ne pas partir :
- une communauté acquise au long cours, atteignable sans effort et qu'il serait difficile de déplacer
- le tout petit nombre de gens déjà sur Masto = difficile de trouver un public
- la croyance que c'est "fermé" (alors qu'IG est giga fermé)
- l'interface en "fil" et non en page (donc pas une vitrine cohérente)

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.
It's a bit like flushing the toilet.

#Peertube is not dead.
It actually has the 3rd most active MAUs on the #Fediverse. It has more MAUs than #Lemmy.
The problem is discovery on Peertube is pretty bad, so it’s hard to see.
But also, Peertube is expensive to operate. And because Peertube is expensive to operate, Peertube admins won’t let just anyone join a their server. Which means it’s hard to join Peertube.
But even then, Peertube’s MAUs are significant.

📢 Important announcement! #BotKit's #GitHub repository has moved to a new home! 🏠
The repository is now located at @fedify-dev/botkit (previously @dahlia/botkit). All future development will continue at the new location.
Don't worry—everything's the same, just a new address! Please update your bookmarks and project references. Thanks for being part of our community!

The #Hollo repository has moved from @dahlia/hollo to @fedify-dev/hollo! Along with this move, our #Docker image registry has also been relocated from ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo to ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo.
While the old image registry will remain accessible, it won't receive any new tags. We recommend all Hollo users to update their Docker image references to the new registry address.
To update your Docker configurations, please change:
From: ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo:latest
To: ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:latest
The migration ensures better project organization and continued development. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in making this transition smooth!

I'd like to take 2 seconds this morning and thank all the #commons janitors who do the ungrateful and unseen work of trying to increase #fedi's #cohesion and #culture.
#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.
Janitors *weave* #SocialFabric.. ✊

I make a case for more platforms to support the ActivityPub client API, and how we should look beyond microblogging for future growth of the ‘verse
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/QK7XSV-activitypub-c2s/
Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. 
Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

Ückück und das #Fediverse: Wie gut ist unser #Onboarding?
Gestern kam mein neuer Kolumnen-Beitrag bei @gnulinux raus und ist hier auf dem Communuty-Blog zum Nachlesen und -hören zu finden:
https://gnulinux.ch/wie-gut-ist-unser-onboarding
P.S.: Spannend fand ich ja, wie unterschiedlich das Feedback im Fedi und in den Kommentaren unter dem Artikel wieder ausgefallen sind.
People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.
