fediverse

#Starling is a lightweight #PHP #fediverse server you can install by just copying files over FTP to a shared host. No PostgreSQL, no workers, no DevOps. Owning your data with #ActivityPub can be much simpler than with #ATProtocol. Have you tried it?

Since @everton137 has been awarding Members of the European Parliament who successfully persuade their colleagues to leave X, this idea is being expanded.

Now, this award goes to anyone who sends great emails or takes initiatives that help convince MPs from any European Parliament to leave X. Please, register it somewhere online.

Bonus points if you help them switch to the #Fediverse 😉

Full rules coming soon on the Leave X website.

MastoBlaster Build 94 is now available on TestFlight.

This is a major release that merges several different development branches I've been working on, bringing together a lot of moving parts into a single build. A long, sleepless night…

Here is what changed:

• Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.

• Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.

• Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.

• UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.

• Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.

• Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.

I had an interesting conversation on here recently that made me realize that maybe not everyone who uses Mastodon knows that you can use filters as a way to add content warning to other people's posts?

https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/on-fediverse-content-warnings-and-filters/

#fediverse #mastodon #ContentWarning #SocialMedia

Question, does anyone have a link to a 'how does Mastodon work' explanation (or 'how does the Fediverse work') that is understandable for people who still use Instagram or Facebook, for example? #dta #mastodon #fediverse

EDIT: I find this page & video by @_elena very useful! https://blog.elenarossini.com/my-fediverse-starter-guide/

FediMeteo got a solid upgrade today 🌤️

From now on, forecasts are richer, clearer, and a bit smarter, without losing the familiar, readable style.

You will now see more complete current conditions at a glance: feels-like temperature, humidity, pressure, visibility, UV index, and wind gusts, all grouped in a dedicated Details section. Sunrise and sunset times for the current day are also included.

The wind line is back in focus, clearly highlighted for current conditions, and gusts are shown separately using 💨 emoji so they are easy to spot and not confused with average wind.

Pressure is no longer just a number: FediMeteo now shows a real pressure trend over the last few hours, telling you if it is rising, falling, or staying stable.

A new Warnings section has been added. When relevant, the bot will automatically flag things like:

• extreme feels-like temperatures, hot or cold
• high UV levels
• poor air quality
• thunderstorms
• heavy rain likely
• strong winds or gusts

Hourly forecasts remain at 12 hours, but now include pressure too, which makes short-term weather changes easier to read and anticipate.

Everything is fully localised. Labels like “feels like”, section titles, and weather descriptions are consistent across languages, and all weather conditions are now covered everywhere.

In short: same FediMeteo you are used to, but with more context, clearer signals, and fewer surprises.

These changes will start appearing with the next forecast update.

Fedizens, we dream! ✊

But what do we dream about? How do our dreams relate, where do they overlap? Might we realize them together? Turn our online places into a delightful commons of cross-pollination and cocreation? How can we make progress towards forging a better world together, and sustain that progress? Can we turn our collaborative efforts into much more than the sum of their constituent parts, and move on shared vision into a brighter future together?

Questions, questions.

In my previous blog post on Shared responsible ownership I claimed that a commons can be 🔥 ignited, and become unstoppable as it realizes positive societal impact. Able to withstand the corrosive forces of Hypercapitalism that seek to corrupt it.

Revolutionary evolution is possible! ✊

#Fediverse is the perfect environment to make this happen. We laid the foundations already. We have soil, so now we can blossom. 🌻

Fedizens, let's dream! ✊

It’s really surprising to me that the #fediverse hasn’t agreed on a standardized way to open cross-instance #activitypub objects and instead relies on links that open in the browser. #urischeme

I found this proposal and what’s thinking… https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/07d7/fep-07d7.md Which one would be your favorite?

(If anyone has updates on the progress, feel free to point me in the right direction)

No app store needed. Elefeed installs as a PWA directly from your browser.

📱 Android (Chrome): three-dot menu → "Add to Home Screen"
🍎 iPhone (Safari): Share → "Add to Home Screen"

You get a home screen icon, push notifications, offline caching, and a full-screen experience.

No download. No extra permissions.

@fajfer has helped #badgefed by deploying it to its first Kubernetes environment, smoothing out the rough edges to make it work properly, and now I’m proudly quoting his badge to test quotes!

Comment if you can see this quote in #mastodon!

Hello NSFW posters

I've been thinking about setting up a Fediverse instance dedicated exclusively to NSFW content (similar in spirit to kinkycats.org, but NSFW-only) or fedinsfw.app who are an evil PieFed. A key question is which platform the instance should run on. I want to avoid platforms that harm other instances by spamming or rewriting tags/links to point back to their own sites. Users choose their instance intentionally, and we should respect that choice.

Platforms to exclude (examples of problematic behavior):
- Lemmy
- PieFed
- Mastodon
- PixelFed
- loforo

Preferred platforms (candidates):
- Misskey
- Sharkey (a Misskey fork)
- Akkoma (may be heavy on older systems)
- Pleroma (may be heavy on older systems)
- Other options to evaluate

Server rules and governance:
- Create a clear Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and privacy policy.
- Decide whether bots are allowed or if only human-moderated accounts can post.
- Admins and moderators:
- Two admins total; one admin has veto power. The main admin is the person who leases the server and owns the domain (the legal responsible party).
- Three or four moderators.
- Election process for admin(s) and moderators:
- Democratic selection weighted by contribution:
- Sponsors: 2 votes each
- Top contributors (best posters, most likes/boosts): 1.5 votes each
- Everyone else: 1 vote each

Next steps and open questions:
- Finalize platform choice based on moderation tools, federation behavior, and resource needs.
- Draft the AUP, privacy policy, and moderation guidelines.
- Define technical requirements (server specs, backups, moderation tools).
- Clarify whether automated accounts (bots) are permitted and under what rules.

This is a summary of the ideas I’m currently considering.

Please share feedback and questions, we welcome comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism. Help spread the word to others who might be interested. Direct messages (DMs/PMs) are also welcome if you prefer to contact us privately.

After shutting down #HolosDiscover, we're rethinking the approach with #HolosIndex: users explicitly opt in by adding #HolosIndex to their bio with interest tags, then submit their profile. No assumptions, no default settings.
This will power interest-based discovery across the #Fediverse, helping people find each other through shared interests. Still all through #ActivityPub of course, with real-time deletions and updates.
