I've created a little #Mastodon 🐘 toot edit history viewer that lets you explore the history of a toot, edit by edit, through the #MastodonAPI. Here's an example: https://tomayac.github.io/mastodon-edit-history/#https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/116002119945073671. Source code: https://github.com/tomayac/mastodon-edit-history.
I love how favoriting on #Mastodon has so little effect on post "reach".
Your post got favorited? Congratulations, you reached someone. That's the whole point, right?
That's the ethos here. #ILoveTheFediverse
Spent some time this morning getting a cursory understanding of #ATProtocol (the open protocol behind #BlueSky). I have a decent understanding of #ActivityPub and I expected AT to have a lot of similarities.
It’s quite different, and this diagram surprised me.
PDS here is “Personal Data Server”. You might think of it as something like a #Mastodon instance where all your data is stored and posts by those you follow are cached.
Except notice that there’s no arrows between PDSes.

Vous savez quoi ?
Je trouve dommage que la plupart des interfaces "sombres" soient remplies de BLEU 🔵 .
Je préfère les rouges 🔴 ou les bruns 🟤 , c'est plus reposant pour les yeux (sutout le soir).
Dommage que pratiquement aucun thème ne propose ça.
Note: Et c'est la même chose sous Android avec l'appli Tusky. Du bleu du bleu du bleu.

Huge thanks to the @MastodonEngineering team for including my work, and being so kind with their words!

A Crowdsourced Photo Gallery from the Fediverse – the Open Social Web in action
Here are some nice photos from around the fediverse: https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/. That page updates automatically as new photos are posted.
How did they get there? Well…
People from all over Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and more posted photos into these communities:
https://piefed.social/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/japanpics
… and a few others. Moderators curate those communities to filter out anything obnoxious and people upvote the best ones.
Jerry used his PieFed account to create a “Feed” of 6 photography communities at https://feddit.online/f/photos. In PieFed a Feed is a bundle of communities with all their content shown together in a list. Those communities can be on any Lemmy, PieFed or Mbin instance. In the sidebar you can see all the communities in the Feed. That feed can be Followed, just like an account on Mastodon can be.
Someone on https://piefed.social followed [email protected] (the ~ distinguishes it from a person, which uses @ at the start) which created this: https://piefed.social/f/photos@feddit.online. (Following a feed automatically subscribes one to all the communities within and if Jerry adds a new community to the feed all the subscribers auto-follow the new community. But I digress).
The author of home.scoobysnack.net looked up PieFed’s API spec and wrote some JavaScript which uses PieFed’s API to retrieve all the photos in the feed on piefed.social:
GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?feed_id=47&limit=40&page=1&nsfw=Exclude&minimum_upvotes=0
… and finally their JavaScript displays the images.
So the journey these photos took went through 6 steps:
Mastodon / PixelFed / author -> Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin communities -> Feddit.online feed -> PieFed.social feed -> PieFed.social API -> home.scoobysnack.net
I think that’s pretty cool.

Hello. I'm Rufus. I joined #Mastodon a couple weeks ago. You may have seen pictures of my #cats
I co-wrote a pretty fun book called The Complete History (and Fistory) of Underspace - about a girl who finds the doorway to a magical world on the roof of her school. You can buy the ebook or audiobook everywhere, or hit me up and I’ll send you it free because screw capitalism
But mostly I’m here for cat pictures. So here’s Molly, looking unimpressed with literally everything I do

Sí, les xarxes centralitzades 🫠grinyolen. Però aquí, al #Fedivers, ja estem explorant alternatives: més lliures, més ètiques, més nostres.
Què hi ha (o pot haver-hi) entre el 🐘 mamut de #Mastodon i la 🦋 papallona de #Bluesky
➡️ Debatrem sobre el futur de les xarxes socials i com construir espais digitals que cuidin, connectin i empoderin.

Pregunta a los sabios de #mastodon. Sé que aquí hay muchos escritores y dibujantes de comics y tengo una pregunta. Estoy dibujando un comic ambientado en el universo de Alien. El xenomorfo solo sale en una viñeta. ¿Por eso me podrían demandar? Gracias de ante mano
Zeit Soziale Medien selbst in die Hand nehmen! Komm ins bunte selbstverwaltete Fediverse!
Wir machen auf dem @dearfuture in Dresden am 14. Mai eine Veranstaltung zusammen mit https://dresden.network/ und @datenkollektiv
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich vor allem an Organisationen und deren Social-Media Menschen.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome @mellifluousbox to his new role as Executive Director of Mastodon 🎉
We've had the pleasure of meeting Felix a couple of times now, he's a great guy, and we're so excited that the Mastodon team came together to put him at the head of their operations.
We can't wait to see what is next for Mastodon and to continue working with Felix and the team!
Are you getting notifications from a thread that you don't care about? Do you want to stop those notifications?
You can do this by using Mastodon's "Mute conversation" feature:
1. Log in through your server’s website or web app
2. Go to a notification you’ve received from the thread you want to mute
3. Click ⋯ on the notification and select "Mute conversation"
No one will know you've done it, and it will only affect notifications from that thread.
For folks who want to track the work on quote posts for @elk or contribute (🙏🏼) -- please see the issues I've created and tagged "quote-posts"
https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22quote-posts%22
You can make your posts much easier to discover in Mastodon searches by opting into "full text search". Once you've opted in, people will be able to search your public posts by any word or phrase in the post instead of just hashtags.
There's a guide to how to opt in here:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon
The guide also answers lots of common questions about the full text search system 🙂

I’m on the TestFlight for the new version of the Toot! App and forgot about the TooterBall mini game, where your followed accounts avatars become pool balls you knock around the screen. 🤭
Thanks to @DavidRGardiner I was able to fix some issues in the #ManfredApp. I am currently testing the next release which will feature:
- Pasting images from the clipboard into posts
- Better scrolling experience in threads
- Stopping any video playback when leaving the app, because it would kill background music re-entering (there is still an issue with GIFs unfortunately).
Thanks for all the feedback.
