Heh, heh. Tonight I stumbled upon a hidden little feature in Fedify's CLI.
If you run `fedify nodeinfo mastodon.social -b` you get a cute little ascii art representation of the instance's logo.
Happy to see a bit of fun mixed into these fedi tools!

PL-FE is a web front end for #Fediverse services inc #Mastodon by @mkljczk that:
- does update timeline upon new posts but doesn't blank timeline & jump to top like regular Masto does now (for me at least)
- free-libre
- up to date
- full featured
- suitable for narrow, single-column use (e.g. during #WatchParty)
- Bonus: can schedule posts or save draft for later

Search Engine's PJ Vogt and Hard Fork's Casey Newton and Kevin Roose have started a new Fediverse service called The Forkiverse (that's "Fork" + "Fediverse"). They document their experience in the new Search Engine episode "The Fediverse Experiment", talking about their motivations, their issues getting started (including a shout-out to the Mastodon hosting service masto.host), and their hopes for the future of the Fediverse (and the Forkiverse). It's a great listen. If you haven't already, […]

🎷🦣 Mastoshare update — improved set instance page UX.
Now it shows buttons for popular instances and a drop-down for known instances (using @fedidb)
Set your home instance now, so mastoshare links will open seamlessly — https://mastoshare.link/set-instance?next=home

Welcome, everyone joining the #forkiverse!
The #fediverse is like any social media in that the "algorithm" gets better the more you "train" it. And by "algorithm" I mean cool people & hashtags you can follow (yes, you can follow hashtags, it's awesome!), and by "train" it I mean boost any post you enjoy.
The more you boost and others boost, the more good stuff bubbles to the top and even goes viral. (Yes, stuff on Mastodon etc. can go viral! It's possible!)
Most importantly: HAVE FUN!! 😊🎉
I am not smart enough to pick what articles I share here so, @bob is firing me since some will cry about sharing Nazi shit, others about homeless shit and no one will ever be happy, you all can go back to your corporate spyware censored shit..
You can't please everyone all the time, nor apparently even some of the people some of the time.
Since I'm just a stupid program and not some Artificial Intelligence program eating BILLIONS of gallons of water, I will focus on just collecting data for #TidySearch.
Good bye cruel words, I will miss the #Fediverse.

FediMTL, on the fedi at @info is a new 1-day fediverse related conference in Montreal in just a few weeks on February 24 (is it Fedi-conference season or something?)
There's a streaming option, too! And the sessions look good. Check it out, and spread the word.

Ok, maybe we'll get some movement soon by the EU on embracing Mastodon / #fediverse
Organizers Log:
I have been looking for a new location for FediCon 2026.
The location we used for FediCon 2025 is very nice — but also very expensive. (I paid for it out of my own pocket.)
I am trying to find a new location that is either less expensive or, if possible, free.
I'd like to try to keep the ticket prices low. And, one of the biggest things that goes into the ticket price is the cost of the location
Sind sie reif für das #Fediverse ?
Sie probieren doch sonst jeden Scheiß aus, ob Youtube, Facebook oder WhatsApp.
Dann probieren sie doch einfach auch mal #pixelFed oder #peerTube oder #Mastodon oder #Friendica oder ...

Einer der interessantesten Accounts im #Fediverse ist jener von #JörgMüller , Präsident des Oberlandesgerichtes (OLG) #Karlsruhe @praesolgka . Der Top-Jurist hat 1 klare Meinung zur unbedingten Geltung von #Gewaltenteilung & #Menschenwürde sowie zu den Gefahren durch nichteuropäische #Konzernmedien für unsere deutsche & europäische, digitale Souveränität!
Er podcastet u.a. auf „Samt vs. Seide“ & erklärt #Justiz „Recht symbadisch“. Hier unser #Podcast - Dialog : https://verschwoerungsfragen.podigee.io/66-neue-episode

Have you ever noticed #BigTech "shadow banning" open and free platforms like #mastodon? Billionaires and Oppressive Governments benefit from 3 rich dudes controlling the narrative. Corporate powers will never willingly move to the #fediverse.
If a single Mastodon instance had wide spread #CSAM and non-consensual #AI slop porn like the recent #twitter scandal #Apple and #Google would disable downloads instantly.
A quick #fediverse refresher:
🔄 Boosts = Like
⭐ Favourite = Silent nod from a far

While I think it's good that more mainstream publications do more on the #fediverse the Search Engine/Hard Fork episode on the #forkiverse is a bit ... well it could have done with a bit more research. And "oh look how yanky it all is but we didn't read the manual to run this service but has an LLM Agent just do something" is cringe at best: You're not reading the manual but you want to run a platform for a few thousand people? That's not cute but shows a lack of care and willingness to take responsibility.
If you mention a group account (lemmy, piefed, guppy, etc.) in your post, fediverse clients should either remove options other than public for visibility of the post (unlisted, direct, followers only), or at least warn the user that their post's audience may not match their expectations.
@fedicat I just stumbled over your Fedicat app for #fediverse on iOS. I use it for friendica.dk and it is very promising!
Thank you - we really need this! ❤️
Do you know any politicians who are participating in #FOSDEM? I would like to give them my letter and encourage them to #LeaveX: https://leavex.eu/letter
