💜 Dear people in the #Fediverse, thanks for all your feedback!

Recurring topics:
- #Mastodon share button
- #Pixelfed as #Instagram alternative
- Use Instagram to point to the Fediverse
- Why be on #SocialMedia at all? (Fair point 🙂)

Next we're taking all ideas to our local community. We're curious what they think and will report back here.

And yes, we're getting that share button!

🔧 Devlog: FediBuzz relay returned 400 errors. Root cause: nginx 1.18 + HTTP/2 + hyper/reqwest sent duplicate Host/:authority headers. Fixed by upgrading to nginx 1.29.4 which handles HTTP/2 headers correctly (fix from Aug 2025). #fediverse #activitypub #devlog

Anyone with a #cheatsheet for the #fediverse?

We are looking for #tutorials or guides to help cultural organizations planning their social media presence on the fediverse. :)

For example: an organization has a social media manager and wants to switch from corporate social media to decentralized ones. How to restructure such workflows in the fediverse? Mastodon or pixefed? Both accounts?

Are there some examples of best practices?

Once upon a time, I was very active on MySpace and then Facebook. Then things got really shitty, so I quit and joined BlueSky.

I felt horrible, like the smallest bit of the code, unrecognized, shouting into the void for robots and scammers. But it a good place, right? And then they banned trans people while bringing in the authoritarians.

So, I thought all social media is bad, and I should try and get a website going where I could shout at the void on my own space.

I came across @_elena and started playing around with PeerTube. I saw @firesidefedi talking about exciting things, connecting with real people, and rebuilding that good time I used to have being online.

It was exciting, but I wasn't sure. And then @TIBtv came on, and I was blown away. My people! There they are!

I hope other people like me quit lurking quietly and join in. It's fantastic here on the #fediverse

Schalom/Hallo,

ich suche vor allem im echten Leben (offline), aber auch hier auf Mastodon & allgemein im Fediverse, bei PeerTube, gleichgesinnte Torahchristen, messianische Juden und andere Menschen, die auch Interesse am Austausch, Gemeinschaft und Vernetzung über die beiden Messenger SimpleX Chat, Threema (Libre), Jitsi oder Jami für Audio- und Videokonferenzen haben & sich auch für die Themen über Gott, Bibel und Welt, Gesundheit, Medizin und Nachhaltigkeit, Geopolitik & Weltwirtschaft, Technik, freie Software und Hardware und Musik interessieren.

Dann meldet euch doch gerne bei mir. :)

Gerne persönlich am östlichen Stadtrand von Berlin und Umgebung und ansonsten auch über Internet aus Bayern, Österreich, Schweiz & weltweit. Also am Besten mehr analog als digital, was für mich persönlicher ist.

Weitere Informationen über mich und meine Person samt einer Beschreibung, Kontaktmöglichkeiten und auch noch weiteren Links findet ihr genau hier:

Ich freue mich auf eure Rückmeldungen und auch ernsthaften Interessen daran. :)

The Quiet app provides high-level technical details of how their app works:

This is actually very similar to one way I imagined a more server-less peer-based usage of ActivitiyPub working.

Did you know you can track network statistics from across the Fediverse?

On FediDB, you can see federated server statistics as well as an overview of the entire network.

As January begins to come to a close, why not check it out to get a peek into how much the Fediverse will grow over 2026? 📈

Some people seem to think that there is some sort of right to be free from #criticism online.

You have a right to be free from #harassment, but when you make a public post on the #fediverse or #socialmedia, you are implicitly soliciting public responses.

That you don't like someone's response is not a valid reason to issue a report to the administrators or moderators of that person's instance.

I think I'm on pretty solid #ethical ground, here, but you are of course free to disagree.

Einen Rat habe ich noch für alle #Neuhier . Hier gibt es nichts, wodurch irgendjemand hier getriggert werden könnte. 😅

#Zeichnung #Cartoon #ErMaltSchonWieder #Mastodon #Fediverse #Hölle

On stage now, @django — arguing for widespread adoption of ActivityPub client-server (C2S) protocol.

I agree with him.

At the very least, to make extension of ActivityPub through JSON-LD namespaces possible.

But also to decouple Fediverse client development from Fediverse server development.

And more.

Mentioned by @andypiper :

The Mastodon team is planning to release a universal "share" button.

(It wasn't clear to me if this was just for Mastodon servers — or if it would work with non-Mastodon servers, too. It was mentioned briefly from the audience.)
