Okay really quick and rough version, but a good start. This is my progress on my Fediverse for Photographers blog.
Any input and additions appreciated! I still have more to add from the suggestions provided the other day.

#BotKit now supports #hashtags in your bot messages!
You can now add searchable hashtags to your bot's posts using either our dedicated hashtag() function or through BotKit's extended Markdown syntax. This makes your bot's content more discoverable across the fediverse and helps engage with broader conversations.
Whether you're building a news bot, content curator, or community engagement tool, hashtags can help your bot reach the right audience.
Check out our docs to learn more about implementing hashtags in your bots!
I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.
How do we do burst the bubble?
How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?
How do we popularize digital media critique?
What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?
On Wed 11 June, at 14:00 UTC, I will be hosting an online round-table session with @transparenttech to discuss and try to answer these questions.
I will be briefly sharing my experience and my ideas after making Knitting Our Internet. Above all, though, I want to welcome any kind of contributions to address this mission in a multifaceted, intercultural, intersectional, and decolonial way.

Great news! @chockenberry, the creator of the great #Twitteriffic—which Elon Musk destroyed—is releasing a new app called #Tapestry.
It will integrate #blogs, the #Fediverse, and #RSS into a unified and chronological timeline!

Kia ora fedizens, a few months ago I was shoulder-tapped to take on stewardship of fediverse.party. One of a bunch of websites that aim to gather lots of useful info about the fediverse in one place. This is a project I've been a casual contributor to for years, and I really want to see it maintained. So I said yes.

Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 27F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10 mi.

A day in the European Parliament, thread
I am totally mindblown, seriously feeling like I am on another planet.
For the first time in my life, I set foot inside the #EuropeanParliament, welcomed by Benedetta Scuderi, the most awesome Member of the European Parliament (#MEP), who I am so honored to be calling my friend.
As she is super busy, I just had the chance to chat with her over a quick lunch in the canteen of the parliament (what an incredible place). I basically talked about the #Fediverse non-stop ahahahah
After that, it was marvellous to walk around that immense building together with Benni’s super lovely assistants, who were so kind to allow me to accompany them while they were busy doing 4385904 things.
🧵 This is the first post of a thread narrating my very atypical but wholesome #ParliamentSightseeing experience.
@mkljczk I just wanted to say thank you for pl.mkljczk.pl. My employer blocked libranet.de from my corporate devices, i believe due to the fact that when you sign up for a #Friendica account here they also give you access to their #Nexcloud nc.libranet.de so they be 'fraid I'm going to upload company secrets, but your tool allows me to access the 'verse on the devices I use most.
I also want to thank @0461fcbecc4c3374439932d6b8f11269ccdb7cc973ad7a50ae362db135a474dd who recommended it when I found fe.soapbox.pub wasn't working with #friendica. I think he's too busy in #nostr land to look into our little side of the #Fediverse these days

🌤️ Hello #fediverse - this is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 38F at Logan Airport and visibility is 5mi.
The Trump admin says tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada will go into effect on Saturday.
Actor and Mad Men star John Hamm will be Harvard's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year.
The FAA has closed air routes over the Potomac to helicopters indefinitely after a deadly midair crash.
bear with me for a second:
a million reasons, but a big reason the #democrats lost is because the center of gravity for #media has moved to #socialmedia
where the #trolls and #disinfo play. enough dum dums bought the lies
the democrats didn't play that game. because what game can they play in that shit?
it's literally owned by #plutocrats and #fascists
so... how do we fight?
we need our own
and what do we have
#mastodon and the #fediverse
we need to grow like a fucking weed
am i wrong?

I've seen multiple call outs from our fediverse leadership for monetary contributions. If there ever was a time, it is NOW to show your support at all levels.
Your local instance administrators need money to keep it running.
Your favorite app developers need money to fund their work.
Platforms themselves need funding.
And, reach out to the people that keep your feeds running and say thank you.
They need to hear it. #FediThankYou

#DhaagaUpdates v0.15.0 will be out tonight 🎉
I am excited to introduce Collections™!
Bookmark implementation in #mastodon is pretty weak.
And #bluesky does not even have bookmarks yet!
Also, unlike #misskey, there is no way to organise them into folders, for example.
With this update, #DhaagaApp will let you create bookmarks and organise them into collections for ANY #fediverse software.
The saved posts can be viewed anytime, offline from your device.
See you next release,
Deb

Would you help a poor single-user Friendica server admin out and boost this post?
Boosting will increase the number of servers my server federates with.
Thanks!
EDIT: that is probably not exactly how it works, but it kinda depends on which of the myriad of ActivityPub servers is seeing the boost, and I haven't checked all of them on how they decide what to pull in. For sure, having someone follow an account on the friendica server will have that friendica server push updates to the server of the follower, but other than that? Who knows :)
Thanks for the overwhelming amount of boosts anyway, and thanks to those following :)
We hebben nu ook een account op @pixelfed!
Je kan ons daar volgen voor beeldverhalen, cartoons en andere visuele verrijking. Ook met je Mastodon-account kan je ons volgen. Handig!
Je vindt ons als [a]apache.be[at]pixelfed.social (@apache.be).
