The Fediverse is so cool. The interoperability of ActivityPub rewards you for browsing other instances, creating server-side and personal connections differently from how we were taught to browse the social web.
Currently I'm trying to figure out the most optimal way to share content around the Fediverse, from Peertube to Mastodon in particular. How it works is a bit weird.

TIL about Bridgy Fed and European.social during the excellent 'Strength through Diversity' panel at @publicspaces! 🔥
"Bridgy Fed is a decentralized social network bridge. It connects the fediverse, the web, and Bluesky." I'm really impressed with the coalition of open social web orgs working together!! 👏👏
Hey friends, I was chatting with Aleya the other day, and she mentioned that she doesn't use Mastodon as she'd heard that it has incorporated the React code from Meta. Are you aware of this? How do you square this? Is Mastodon not as free from the Meta infrastructure as we thought? This was new to me, so I'm curious...
Getting a #gotosocial instance properly running is NOT easy! Split domains is giving me a splitting headache!
Can any of you nice #mastodon #selfhosting folks please check if you can at least see the option to follow for @[email protected] ?
After about twelve hours, the same post had received more than 300 shares and likes on Mastodon, while it had only been shared three times and liked four times on BlueSky.
I'm no social media expert, but it's amazing how reluctant people are to use Mastodon because of its lack of reach and interaction.
If we bring more people here, the Fediverse could become the de facto public square.

Today I posted a farewell message of sorts on #Facebook (feel free to plagiarize as you see fit):
"Hello, world! 👋 From now on, Mastodon is my preferred social media channel. It's an open source, decentralized platform – not controlled by tech giants. Search for me in there, to follow: @gtsadmin . I will very occasionally be checking this account, and you can trust I'll *never* be posting here - unless some extremely extenuating, unforeseen reason arises. The Facebook Marketplace, alas, is still a resource I can't *quite* close the door on, at this time (but want to). Should you see any further Facebook posts from me, sooner should you assume it's Meta impersonating me, using their new AI patent: https://cybernews.com/ai-news/digital-eternal-life-meta-patents-ai-that-can-post-after-you-die/
Please look in my Facebook profile links for other ways to contact me if necessary."
A new episode in my series of tutorials on how to use #Mastodon! This time, going over every profile customization feature, from the basics, to custom fields, to verification, and more. Have you learned something you didn't know before from this video? Then please let me know!
Seeking beta testers for a new opt-in Fediverse service - FediAdhan
https://fediadhan.org/
Have you ever felt your #Mastodon timeline was missing something? You get regular updates about the weather, the bongs of Big Ben on the hour; perhaps even that one account that toots like a chicken. But you've been missing timely updates about the Islamic call to prayer.
No longer: with FediAdhan, simply pick your location on the map and you'll get an account you can follow from your #ActivityPub client, which will drop a toot in your timeline when any of the five Islamic prayer times rolls around (and optionally for sunrise as well). And you get a neat pie chart of daylight/twilight for your location, as a bonus.
Explicitly opt-in, privacy focused, #HumanMade with no LLMs used at any stage in development. Try it out, let me know if you have thoughts, feedback, issues you run into.

#Loops updated their API docs. The way it is built is really a help for app devs. Currently, #Fedilab supports the #Mastodon, #PeerTube and #Misskey APIs. I personally think that adding Loops with their dedicated API would be a nice and good fit with Fedilab's purpose, and the poll results seem to go that way :)
One of the killer features from @HolosSocial is for me, that you can use your own domain.
This means, as a band, author etc you can promote everywhere your handle with @name@my_own_domain.tld
This is so perfect. This means your handle will still be correct if the instance you chose in the beginning is not alive anymore.
I would love to see this feature in #Mastodon, #Pixelfed #loops #peertube and the #bridge

THREAD II
AFTER THAT SCENARIO, EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO FAST.. Eduard has a motorcycle & decided 2 go in the nearest vet which is idk how or what but I was just sobbing while Jury is wrapped in Blankets, Im partially drenched of the rain & just let fate decides. Later on I found out that Freya called the nearest ER Clinic that had a Vet ready that time which is still very early.. Eduard took us there driving the right speed 2 keep us safe while the time is very crucial. 💔

Finally caught back up on triaging issues for #FediReader
I'm now up to 52 open issues
So I should probably get working on those
Thanks to everyone who's submitted TestFlight feedback, mentioned me here, or directly submitted GitHub issues!
just noticed a few other instance.configuration.accounts limits already added to the #mastodon api doc as 4.6 (max_profile_fields has already been around a while in #gotosocial
Dear everyone.
If you post in more than one language, please remember to set the language of your post correctly. It's the only way the language translator on the official mobile app works properly.
Many thanks.
Please consider boosting to raise awareness of this issue.

For once, in an article looking at alternatives to Big Tech the Guardian has acknowledge (and indeed given a half a paragraph to) Mastodon....
Its not the greatest write up but might encourage some more people to join us...
