new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

Since I'm now auto deleting posts over a month old (except pinned, so I'll pin this one)...it looks like I'm not posting much when you look at my profile. And honestly it's not like I post twenty times a day. But I *am* #OnHere almost every day, and posting at least once most days.

All of this is to say that I'm invested in #Mastodon and the #Fediverse - so if you follow me, that's what you're getting.

To my #BlueSky followers : do not forget to bridge your BlueSky profile to the #Fediverse, if you want me to see you. Simply follow @ap.brid.gy from BlueSky
Welcome to the conversation !

The #fediverse family just grew! You now can share and interact with trails using #wanderer ! I love this a lot!

Anyone know if @loops is dead of not? There hasn't been android update since Feb which was just a login fix.

The app is pretty unusable. One small incorrect touch and you jump back to the top for starters. :(

Overlooking the Rady Shell amphitheater, a fediverse sticker has been placed by <someone> on a lamp post on the patio of the convention center.

This is a perfect spot, as they tend to blast classic Star Wars soundtracks to test audio setups during the week. Sure to attract potential fedizens!

@anewsocial has the sticker if you’d like to purchase it

The Fediverse Report will now be known as Connected Places, still keeping a. weekly fediverse report along with other decentralized platforms in separate newsletters.

This makes sense to me, as I have followed Laurens work for a few years now. They have never been ONLY covering the fediverse - Nostr, Farcaster, Bluesky - were always fully investigated, understood and reported on. It's one of the reason I subscribed early on.

Now the name fits!

This video from @_elenaElena Rossini ⁂ captures what makes the #fediverse so exciting. You watch it & think “How could anyone NOT think this was a good idea?”

Will it move the needle against all the FUD? (“it’s too complicated", “mastodon’s full of woke scolds”, “how will I know which server to choose?”, "what are all these apps anyway?”)

I don't know. But it's worth sharing with people who aren't already in the Fediverse, just in case it makes them go “Huh. That sounds neat.”

Hey #Mastodon #Fediverse nerds: has anyone mapped federation topology yet?
https://mastodon.social/@floatybirb/114711176066850583

Hi! Okay, that was a bit too enthusiastic for my personality.

Hi. And welcome to this small part of what people here call the #fediverse.

Recently I have moved my profile to this server and as a bonus it has a longer character limit per post.

To re-introduce myself a little bit, I will throw in some hashtags that more or less define my presence here:
#cats #StarTrek #StarWars #StarCitizen #anime #manga #technology #DnD #LeftLeaning #antifa #ClimateCrisis #VaccinesSaveLives #justice #TransRightsAreHumanRights #StandWithUkraine #NAFO

I am sure more will be added along the way.

To get you started, here is Tip 1:
You can follow hashtags by searching for them and then click on the little '+' icon at the top right of its column.
This will make sure posts or toots will appear in your Home timeline. From there on you can follow people you find interesting or you may know from other platforms.
As you can see, hashtags increases visibility in the fediverse. Unlike the hit-and-miss algorithms on other social media, it's the posters who push the visibility of their messages through this method of tagging.

Tip 2:
On the leftmost column, you will find the triple burger icon on the top left. This is the Getting started link that leads to # Explore. Useful for gaining more follows.

Tip 3:
There are many #mastodon guides available online. Here is one: https://katecarruthers.com/2022/12/18/im-on-mastodon-what-now/

Tip 4:
Since I recently moved servers, or instances, here is a guide how I did it:
https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

That's it for now.
Make yourself at home and see you around.

This article is published on a website which is powered by BDServer. And I'm trying to make this website support ActivityPub, so you could for example, subscribe to me from your Mastodon account. Yet it is easier said than done.

If you have any experience with ActivityPub, web-development or Python, please consider helping me. We have BDServ...

meta/threads invading #fediverse doesn’t feel like “growth”. it feels like a trojan horse.

this place was built on care, consent, moderation, open tech, and trust.
meta doesn’t share those values, they’ve spent years doing the opposite.

they’re not “joining” fediverse. they’re trying to shape it in their image.
if we don’t push back, we’ll end up with the same algorithmic garbage we came here to escape.

this isn’t gatekeeping. it’s protecting something rare.

@bespacific @jeffJeff (of the internet) @TheAdminNewsie.social Admin Team

Quite a few have blocked #Threads. See #FediPact, though I don't know if the list is still actively maintained and up-to-date.

https://fedipact.online

Other than that #Meta has taken strategic position on the #ActivityPub #Fediverse, and effectively hold the cards. Opinions vary on this.

In any case building it was a big success for them. Built on a dime on top of #Instagram stack, see:

https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/building-metas-threads-app

I'd say they are ready to pounce but ONLY if needed.

@jeffJeff (of the internet) @TheAdminNewsie.social Admin Team can u please assist w my concern re #threads access to our postings & #fediverse per this update #Threads is largest app to adopt #ActivityPub, protocol powering the fediverse, worrying some that Meta will take over decentralized, open source social network made up of interconnected servers. Though Threads isn’t yet full integrated, already some #Mastodon server operators have preemptively #blocked Threads, so their users can’t interact w Meta-run social network and vice versa.

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elenaElena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @adminFediMeteo .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

お、#Threads 側から なここがフォローできるようになったぞ
もう #fediverse 対応はやる気なくしてたのかと思ってたけどちょっと見直したよ！#Threads 側からは Like しかできないみたいだけど外部サーバーをフォローできるようになったのはなかなか大きい進歩だな

あ、ついに #Threads 側のタイムラインに #Fediverse のポストも出るようになったの？

何と が 対応を前進させて、Threads側でFediverseフィードを追加できるようになり、Fediverse側のアカウント検索もできるようになった！

もうすっかりやる気無くしてたのかと思ってたよ。これでようやくThreadsを避難所として使えるようになるかなあ。

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.

This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.

Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.

This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.

Thank you 💞

This is great, really love it. I recently overhauled the #Fediverse Experience curated list, with a different taxonomy to highlight more innovative #ActivityPub areas other than those where adoption is already going strong.

The #OpenScience section still has disappointing few entries, so I am delighted to add @encyclia as newcomer.
