新しい #Affinity に対するいろんな声を、ここから見える #Fediverse に限らず #Threads #Instagram #X とか眺めたけど、
明らかに今までと違った層が触るようになってて、これはいい傾向だな…とおもった。

中には Affinity の価値をちゃんと評価できてないのも（自分に言わせれば）いっぱいあるんだけど、そういうよく分かってない初見みたいな人までもが「知る」「触る」というフェーズに入ってるところがすでに今までと全然違う。

これまでは、そもそも知ってもらえない・試してもらえない（半年無料試用 OK とかにしても）という状態だったけど、
このフェーズにくれば、ある意味ではちゃんと価値のわかる人には自動的に届くようになってくるんじゃないか

For anyone celebrating/taking part in today's Media Liberation Day, I've created some (hopefully) useful resources over the years, if this is of any interest:

- a non-technical intro to the fediverse through polls: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/a-netizens-guide-to-mastodon-fediverse/
- a how-to guide focused on Mastodon: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-join-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
- a bunch of "fediverse explorations": https://stefanbohacek.com/category/fediverse-explorations/
- and, of course, https://jointhefediverse.net

And as a bonus: typographic fediverse-themed experiments.

I know, if you check my profile, the date doesn't quite match, I explained this in a blog post commemorating my first year in the fediverse. I got off to a bit of bumpy start!

Secondly, I don't think that https://encyclia.pub/ is obviously enough a social media thing.

By this I mean that a casual user, arriving at the website in a browser for the first time is unlikely to realise that this is a #fediverse / #mastodon thing (even if they know what these things are) and thus miss affordances that are available.

I think this is more about branding / styling than functionality, I recommend aligning the styling with whatever fedi platform has the highest usage in your target audience.

Possibly also a div of https://jointhefediverse.net/ -type content, not because we expect people to join the fediverse, but because we want to signal to people who have already joined that this is a fedi thing.

@sciety @bonfire

Love it, congratulations! 😍

There are a number of #OpenScience related initiatives underway on the #ActivityPub fedi, some supported by @ngiNGI Outreach Office @nlnet funding, which is great.

To avoid the pitfall of protocol decay on the app-centric #fediverse, coordination between these is necessary. So at https://coding.social we started a commons collective to discuss various cross-project concerns in a quest for alignment. Check out:

https://discuss.coding.social/c/commons-cocreation/sciencefed/98

Sciety is bridging preprints and open social networks. Our latest integration with @bonfire enables you to start a discussion on Sciety and federate anywhere; meeting researchers wherever they already are.

In the upcoming release you will be able to follow any blog on the XMPP network directly by clicking on the [Follow] button without being mutually friends (like it was until now), its a small change but with big impacts 😁!

We wrote a detailed and accessible article that explains the differences between the #XMPP network and the #Fediverse and shows how blogs are handled on the XMPP network a bit more in details 😸

If you are curious to see how XMPP works (spoiler: it's pretty simple in the end 😌) checkout our article (and don't forget to leave a ♥️ or a comment!

Three years ago today, the idea of the Newsmast Foundation was born 🎂

Born from the pieces of what Twitter was, our founders knew that they needed to take action to help online communities come together to inform one another once again.

Oh, there's no denying that @dansup has done a great job.

I'm even pleasantly surprised by the addition of the playback "speed" option. But on the app, it's not yet possible to pause playback as you can on the web interface.

Enjoy ^^ That will be for a future version!

EDIT: Okay, not absent but complex to use.

Just gave the new #loops app a test run on #android. Seems pretty solid so far.

Your reminder that you DON'T have to talk about politics and other negative and depressing things on #SocialMedia.

Facebook and Twitter brainwashed us into thinking this is what social media is for, and this is in great parts why we can't have nice things.

Stop spreading doom and gloom. Talk about what you do, talk about what you love, not what you hate.

If we want the #Fediverse to be a better place than other platforms, it's not only about how it works, it's also about what we do with it.

Made in Canada.

@evanEvan Prodromou I'm honestly speechless seeing you launch https://photos.cosocial.ca

Your StatusNet software changed everything for me. I ran it until 2016, and it led me to Mastodon, which eventually inspired Pixelfed in 2018.

You've been my hero since day one. To see you now using Pixelfed... this moment feels impossibly full circle.

Thank you for everything you've built and for inspiring generations of federated software builders.

The future is federated. ❤️

Loops APK Update: fixing the last bugs and finishing the final screen so I can ship the APK before I go to bed.

The long-awaited APK release is almost here.

Our community has grown so much this year — this one’s for the early adopters, the trendsetters, the pioneers.

We’re making history together. I couldn’t be prouder.

#loops #peopleNotPlatforms #fediverse

I thinking about one thing that #fediverse self-hosting landscape lacks. Well it is not only about Fediverse per se.
I dream to have something like a personal "trailer", or technically speaking, a server, on the internet, where I can add various capabilities if need them. For example:
📜 microblogging like Mastodon.
📖 Long-reads blogging like Medium
🖼️ Photos and albums
📷 Video upload
at least one of these:
📬 deltachat relay
📪 Briar "mailbox".
💬 Simplex relay

Some more explanations follow.

An open source dating platform, based on ActivityPub and standard schema.org definitions, where the dater may define and is in complete control of their own profile data since it is self-hosted, and may be shared selectively and in a time-bound manner only with others on the network of their choosing. All matches and profile sharing to be intentionally enjoined by both parties in a consensual manner, with enhanced introductory matchmaker capabilities stemming from the network effect.

Wondering which Fediverse app to use? This is my vision, according to content and time, or alternately, which mainstream corporate application is replaced.

Ab sofort ist FREIRAD Teil von Mastodon und dem #Fediverse, in dem wir eine Alternative zu den immer problematischer werdenden Social-Media-Giganten sehen. Wir werden unseren Kanal mit FREIRAD-Inhalten bespielen: kritisch, politisch und laut. Hear you here!

I can’t keep up with @Mastodon anymore. The signal to noise ratio is completely off in my timeline. Anyone have any #tips or #suggestions for how to improve that? #fediverse #mastodon

We've been seeing a major uptick in followers over the past few weeks. A huge thank you to everyone that checked out our gaming/geek culture content and followed us. We hope you enjoy our work here and on our blog.

A special thank you again to @FediFollowsFediFollows has moved! for the shout out!

Is there special type of #ActivityPub status, which would have attributes of calendar event (date and time from - to), it's plain text portion would be capable of being viewed in normal #Fediverse clients, but at the same time, it would be presented as calendar, with chance for Fediverse accounts to join the event?

Joining by fav would be the easiest way, but perhaps there could be some mechanism, maintaimed by the instance hosting the event in the same way as polls, but different. Compatible ActivityPub clients would be able to show participants (joining publicly or privately would be nice... joining event may be special type of reply?)

@GargronEugen Rochko @Mer__edithMeredith Whittaker Now you have to create @signalappSignal emojis for #mastodon / #fediverse

⚠️ Please update your site

We frequently observe numerous sites across the Fediverse running very outdated versions of Mastodon or Misskey. Some sites are even using versions over a year old.

Software updates include not only new features but also critical security fixes. To keep your site secure and stable, ensure you always use the latest version.

fediverse question: Can an ActivitiPub instance bundle in a STMP server with E2EE and use it as private DMs. Email interfaces can be modern, it's chats with muscle. email protocol as is always made the analogy to explain the fediverse, is the second most wide standard after the web.
Shouldn't be it the protocol for private comunications between groups in the Fediverse?

Just printed up some copies of an excellent #zine from @The_Counterforce about #mastodon and the #fediverse (for ponx).

Hi #fediverse, I'm stuck.media and happy to be here - the place for knowledgeable malcontents, people of action & passion who thrive without the corporate teat.

I'm an indie #printmaker on the east coast of #TurtleIsland, so-called #canada. I make #stickers #posters #decals and more. I wish it weren't so, but the times call for drastic measures, thus my output focuses primarily on #antiCapitalism #antiColonialism #community #solidarity #resistance #transRights and #climateCrisis.

It's time to fight back. I'm glad to be here. We are not alone.

Feel free to say hi, I'm #friendly.

#introduction

BlueskyからFediverseに戻った人の記事なんだけど、この部分がめっちゃわかりみが深い。

> 私はFediverseに戻ります。Mastodonに戻ります。オタクたち、趣味人たち、理想主義者たちの元へ。フォロワー数ではなく「意味のあること」を重視する人達へ。分散型が懐古主義ではなく未来であり、デジタル主権は単なるお遊びではなく、生き抜くための戦略だと理解している人達の元へ。
> 確かにFediverseは時に扱いづらく、オタクっぽく、不便なこともあります。それでもここは我々のものです。厳格な規制も、資本主義の駆動も、アルゴリズムによる汚染もありません。こここそが、ソーシャルメディアが本来目指していた「人のネットワーク」なのです。

Fediverse Report 141 - this week's #fediverse news

Mastodon is working towards making one of the longstanding pain points of the fediverse a thing of the past, with the new ability to show all replies to a post. Bonfire is making strides with their Open Science Network platform, and Ghost is now the most popular server software on the fediverse.

https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fediverse-report-141/

#fediverse #gotosocial #snac2 #android

anyone having a working #activitypub instance on an unrooted smartphone ?

@oblomov I think @tusooatusooa 西风 was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see merge request); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.)

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others! :gutkato_manĝas_fragon:

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features.
