<p>Hey Fediverse: Does anyone know of a local <a href="/tags/library/" rel="tag">#Library</a> that has successfully launched a <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> instance of their own?</p>

<p><img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/mastodon.com.pl/mastodon.png" class="emoji" alt=":mastodon:" title=":mastodon:"> Drodzy Użytkownicy</p><p>Mamy dzisiaj do przekazania decyzję, która nie była dla nas łatwa. Nadeszło ostrzeżenie od IFTAS o sytuacji na pol.social, mówiące o bardzo dużej ilości kont spamowych, w tym dużej aktywności zorganizowanych prorosyjskich botów, trwającej już od dłuższego czasu. Pomimo, że liczyliśmy na reakcję adminów tej instancji, sprawa nadal jest bardzo poważna. W trosce o jakość naszej federacji, bezpieczeństwo prowadzonych dyskusji oraz komfort naszych użytkowników podjęliśmy decyzję, że od 1 marca nasza instancja zablokuje federację pol.social.</p><p>Oznacza to, że:<br>- nie będzie możliwości wymiany treści między instancjami,<br>- nowe interakcje z kontami z pol.social nie będą widoczne.</p><p>Rozumiemy, że jest to bez wątpienia popularna polska instancja i dla niektórych z Was może to być odczuwalna zmiana. Niestety, z powodu nadużyć i braku skutecznej reakcji ze strony administracji, dalsza pełna federacja stanowi zbyt duże zagrożenie dla jakości naszego miejsca. Jeśli sytuacja ulegnie poprawie i administracja pol.social wdroży skuteczne środki przeciwdziałające nadużyciom, decyzja może zostać w przyszłości ponownie rozważona.</p><p>Jednocześnie chcielibyśmy podkreślić, że nasza instancja mastodon.com.pl pozostaje otwarta dla wszystkich, którzy szukają spokojnego, dobrze moderowanego miejsca do rozmów. Jeżeli ktoś z Waszych znajomych z pol.social rozważa zmianę miejsca, to z przyjemnością pomożemy w migracji konta oraz w zachowaniu listy obserwowanych profili.</p><p>Dziękujemy za zrozumienie i wsparcie w dbaniu o zdrową, bezpieczną federację.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodoncompl/" rel="tag">#mastodoncomPL</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/mcpl/" rel="tag">#MCPL</a></p>

<p>If you&#x27;re searching Mastodon, there are special phrases called &quot;operators&quot; that you can include to narrow down your search. For example, if you just want to search your own posts you can include the operator from:me alongside your keywords.</p><p>There&#x27;s a complete guide to searching Mastodon including a list of all the operators at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-</span><span class="invisible">stuff-on-mastodon</span></a></p><p>You can combine several operators in one search to narrow it even further, or include a minus sign - to exclude stuff.</p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>

<p>After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.</p><p>MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.</p><p>It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.</p><p>What makes it different:<br>• snac-first by design, not &quot;compatible by accident&quot;<br>• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others<br>• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)<br>• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline<br>• Markdown posting for snac<br>• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account<br>• Blocking and moderation tools<br>• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage</p><p>Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.</p><p>It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.</p><p>Important note:<br>MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.</p><p>The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.</p><p>TestFlight link:<br><a href="https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa</span><span class="invisible">5R1k</span></a></p><p>Stay tuned.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastoblaster/" rel="tag">#MastoBlaster</a> <a href="/tags/ios/" rel="tag">#iOS</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#snac2</a> <a href="/tags/akkoma/" rel="tag">#Akkoma</a> <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/ownyourdata/" rel="tag">#OwnYourData</a></p>
