Photographers of The Fediverse 001: @StevenLawsonPhotography 📷

The guy behind an incredibly popular Monochrome March event. Based in Glasgow, Stevens’ work and presence on Mastodon have been a huge inspiration in recent years.

We talk creative avenues, collections, gear and social media. Enjoy!

Today, I decided to back @gotosocial with a monthly donation of 10,00€.

The #GoToSocial project is free and open source Fediverse software providing a social media microblogging system that you can host yourself (or join an existing instance of) – very similar to how #Mastodon works, the software this instance is running.

In years of hosting my own personal GoToSocial instance, I have come to love the project and never once run into an issue, even during setup, when upgrading to new versions or when performing database migrations. The team is lively, clearly passionate, responsive and amazingly friendly, and their direction has turned GoToSocial into what is in my opinion the best Fediverse server software out there at the moment.

Supporting the project with a (recurring or one-off) donation provides their two main developers the means to live and continue developing the software independently and for free – by enabling them to pay themselves a very, very modest wage of just 1.000€ a month, according to their donation drive. You'd support the health of the entire #Fediverse, software sovereignty and not least a queer-led, progressive collaborative software project that makes the internet a better place. I encourage anyone and everyone to consider their support if they can afford to do so! :)

Not affiliated with the team, just a supporter. :)

"Vielen Dank! Du unterstützt nun GoToSocial.

Gespendeter Betrag: 10.00€/month"

If you are a polyglot, #Fedilab introduces a feature for you: detect the language before posting. A pop-up lets you quickly change the language before posting to the #Fediverse.
You can easily enable this feature in the settings.

Settings search showing the "Check language when posting" option, found under Settings > Compose.

It's also possible to add your #fediverse or #mastodon to the IndieWeb Ring.
Auth can be done for example with rel="me" github (if it is "available").
In #snac you might add

I love that on the regular internet, you can be like "I need to find out what part this is on my 2025 car" and all the results you get back are for car rentals, people trying to sell you a car, trying to buy your car, or AI slop videos explaining to you what a car is in the least intelligible way possible.

But... in the #Fediverse you can be like "anybody know the correct wiring layout and voltages for a 1974 "Passion-o-Meter" novelty Love Tester from Hanlon Amusements in Fairbanks, Alabama? I found one while doing recreational free diving in a cave system in Peru and I'm trying to put it back together again" and not only does NOBODY question any part of the insane statement made, but three people who happen to specialize in that exact sort of thing immediately emerge from the woodwork like the reverse of Homer Simpson going into the hedge.

PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation

pyfedi Project background: https://join.piefed.social. Flagship instance: https://piefed.social Page · codeberg.org

This release saw contributions from some new people, which is great to see.

In this release you can now follow other people, not just join communities. When you follow someone their posts will show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed, regardless of whether you have joined the community it was posted in or not.

You can also follow Mastodon+ accounts. Getting Mastodon integration working really well is going to be a long journey but this release gets us headed in that direction. Eventually I hope that this integration will provide a steady source of timely content to cross-post into threadiverse communities as well as being a peer citizen in the Mastodon-flavored parts of the fediverse.

New:

You can follow other users and their posts will always show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed, regardless of the community they were posted into. Following Mastodon users works also but should be considered as very experimental. This will improve soon.

In the future you will be able to upload a list of people that you exported from your mastodon profile and follow them in one go. And add people that your instance doesn’t already know about - but not yet. These features will be rolled out in future versions once the dust settles on this version.

Mastodon posts have a new design that is distinct from threadiverse posts - there is no post title and larger author profile pic.
Communities can be marked as being a favorite, which makes them more prominent in the ‘Communities’ menu.

Clicking anywhere in a post teaser takes you to the teaser - you don’t need to aim for the title
Dramatically improved page load times on Chrome-based browsers (Speculation Rules API).
Little spinner thing while a vote is being cast
Updated translations
Preview markdown when editing a wiki page
RSS feeds on the home page, including a feed of posts from your subscribed communities
Topic selection during onboarding looks way nicer now.
Accessibility improvements to headers.

For Developers:

Massive CSS reorganisation by travis-jeans. Lots more usage of CSS variables. Improves maintenance and accessibility.
API: Users can now log out
API: Follow and unfollow users
API: video file upload works now

For Instance Admins:

Communities where every moderator is a bot or inactive are flagged as un-moderated. Reports about posts in un-moderated local communities go to admins.
Warnings on domains can be 3 types instead of only a warning - the other two are ‘helpful context’ and ‘recommendation’

Send a DM to a user asking them if they are a bot, with 1 click. If they do not respond their account is automatically flagged as a bot
Email bounce inbox can now be accessed through POP3, not just IMAP
Tokens used by mobile apps can be set to expire, using the JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS environment variable
More accurate tracking of when a user was last active. This will significantly increase your MAU stats.
Strict allowlist mode to reduce attack surface exposed by federation
/admin/federation form split up into 3 separate pages rather than one long confusing page.
Option to disable DM sending for individual users if they lack the self-control to use it responsibly.
compose.yaml has changed a bit: For most containers the build target is now “runtime’ instead of ‘builder’.

For example

  celery:  
    build:  
      context: .  
      target: runtime

Topics can be associated with countries, for more targeted onboarding suggestions based on the viewer’s location.
To reduce server load and network traffic, a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day has been set at a level that will only affect the top 2% of voters, leaving the bottom 98% unaffected. This quota can be altered with an environment variable. View a profile to see how much of their daily quota has been used.

To upgrade from 1.6.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.7.x

At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again (or use git’s stash feature). This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git.

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the target: part of the db container.

RE: https://hackers.pub/@fedify/2026/why-activitypub-is-hard

This is a really great, technical overview of how the fediverse works behind the scenes. And really makes you appreciate that it works at all.

Massive props to @hongminhee for this write-up and all their work, and those of others that make fediverse possible.

It can be hard to understand how hashtags spread around the #fediverse, so I built a little tool to help you explore how visible hashtags are on different servers. The page also contains tips for how you can follow hashtags more effectively and help your own tagged posts get spread more broadly.

$A teapot is vibrantly covered in swirling patterns of blue, orange, and red, as splashes of paint mimic an energetic, liquid explosion surrounding it. The dynamic colors contrast against a darker background, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. A beautiful old crazed teapot is filled with paint. Upon heating, the paint explodes in streams of colors into the air and down the teapot with explosive action and onto the wooden table below with a few drips dripping from the table. Lots of colors with fluid and fractal flowing actions. Abstract art complementary colors and fine details. THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.$
