coachalaiskas, ***How can i follow a #pleroma account from m@fediversenews@venera.social
coachalaiskas, Thank you sir.
petrescatraian, Romanian @coachalaiskas you can also copy the link to the user's profile and paste it in the search bar
schenklklopfer, German Warum werden Edits von Tröts auf anderen #Mastodon Instanzen teilweise nicht angezeigt?
Sind die Server dann zu alt?
Oder geht das generell nicht?
Ich benutze das Feature sehr aktiv, aber wenn es nicht funktionert, muss ich damit aufhören.
vgl.: https://c.im/@jores/110309410704188017
jr, @schenklklopfer @rick @thomas funktioniert schon, aber keiner Garantiert, dass es bei allen Servern ankommt, die den Post original gesehen haben. Außerdem kann keiner Garantieren, dass alle Beteiligten Server überhaupt auf das löschen reagieren oder es zB rausgepatcht haben.
Löschen in dezentralen Systemen ist immer so nen Ding. Einer der Gründe warum zB die gängigen XMPP Clients kein löschen können...
psy, @jr @schenklklopfer @rick @thomas "eventual consistency" ;)
EighthLayer,
pallenberg, Am Sonntag kommt die Ausgabe zu meinem 1-Jaehrigen auf #Mastodon & im #Fediverse und von daher wuerde ich mich echt ueber Feedback aus der Community freuen!
- Wie gefaellt euch die Plattform?
- Was vermisst ihr?
- Was kann man besser machen?
Oder einfach nur eure persoenliche Fediverse Story.
Hinterlasst mir doch hier 👉 https://t.ly/hallo eine kurze Sprachnachricht & ich baue die ins naechste #Podcast ein.
Gerne reposten& boosten, damit wir moeglichst viele Meinungen einsammeln 🙏
th_willenbrink, @pallenberg @mplusk Mastodon erfüllt für mich aktuell primär nur noch zwei Funktionen:
- Etwas besserer RSS-Reader, um Hinweise auf interessante Artikel von diversen Publikationen zu erhalten.
Besser deshalb, weil ich hier automatisch entsprechende Tweets spiegeln lasse und so die Infos bekomme, ohne bei Twitter sein zu müssen.- Um einer handvoll Accounts aus echtem Interesse aktiv zu folgen.
Für ein "social" Network ist mir das zu wenig.
roblen, German @pallenberg Wir sind beide relativ zeitgleich von Twitter ausgewandert. Bin auch vor kurzem draufgekommen, dass es schon ein Jahr her ist. Dazu mein Blogartikel https://nureinblog.at/10814-ein-jahr-im-fediverse
nemobis, Social issues require social solutions. Technology alone never suffices.
Wannabe #Wikipedia "competitors" always failed to learn this simple lesson. Now proprietary "alternatives" to the #fediverse make the same mistake.
mlinksva, @nemobis are any proprietary things really billing themselves as alternatives to the fediverse rather than twitter? Sign of fediverse sucess if so, even if seems stupid strategy given twitter is still the giant (actually focusing on twitter rather than fb is probably stupid for the same reason).
More interestingly, maybe:
For social media the fediverse is the "competitor"; are free "alternatives" to incumbents failing to learn the simple lesson that you pointed out?
nemobis, @mlinksva I called them "alternatives" because some people believe they are and even proclaimed loudly that people would switch.
New proprietary social media mostly position themselves as the potential next billion-user AdTech carrier. Which is the problem.
It's harder to tell what a FLOSS project learnt, because the governance model is often informal and decisions zig-zag more. The recent mastodon.social announcement dismissing social learnings as needless "ideology" doesn't bode well.

paulox, (edited ) I wrote an article on how to quickly (13x speedup) convert an #H265 video to #VP8 using #FFmpeg and #Vaapi to upload it to #Mastodon respecting its restrictions 🎬

Thanks to Michael Kennedy @mkennedy , Samuel Colvin @samuelcolvin and Sebastián Ramírez Montaño @tiangolo for the interview they did at #PyConUS 2023 🇺🇸
redegelde, Dutch #twittermigration want to get the most out of #Mastodon . Look for two #instances . One general like the one from @Gargron and one with specific topic like #education like this https://mastodon.education. and use the same user name. Sample @redegelde and @redegelde When using Hashtags gives you lot of #toots
redegelde, Dutch #Fediverse and the rest
Simpel. Its data, server and got no unwanted #algorithms commercial

The problem is that the moderation is not limited to one's server. They also ban other servers that do not follow their rules as well.
Now, it's even possible to import block list. Someone build a long list of servers to block, and others import it in their servers without knowing why each server was included in that list.
Like this one:
https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/the-oliphant-social-blocklist
leewalton, @clemenceau @clemenceau
Hmm. Just importing block lists is a sign of either over worked or lazy admins. It's a problem that will in all likelihood solve itself as the Fediverse grows even more diverse.
Admins of the UK servers chat to one another, including chat about blocks, and from what I have seen, don't just blindly apply block lists.
oblomov, With the ridiculous amounts of boosting I do, I should really enable #JustMyToots for my profile, at least until #Mastodon sets up a switch to do something similar automatically.
FWIW, I think the current approach to showing people's profiles and post list may no be the best one. I've seen other platforms (cohost maybe?) doing it with toggles, and I think it's a superior choice: instead of a separate “tab” you have a single list, but the option to hide/show replies, media posts, boosts etc.
pallenberg, May the 4th be with you #Mastodon und euch allen einen gesunden Start in den #StarWarsDay 🙏
haensel, Möge die Macht auch mit dir sein, Großmastodonmeister Sascha! 🙏🧘♂️

maegul, (edited ) @fediversenews
So poking around fedidb.org, I thought I'd do some back-of-napkin analysis (ie procrastination).
- 50% of #fediverse users are on the largest 20 instances
- ~50% of MAU are on the largest 28
- 77% users are on instances with >10k users (largest 130)
- 73% MAUs on >10k instances
- Of largest 20 instances, user growth/mnth (trend over prev 3mnths) is ~1-2% ... with 2 major outliers:
- misskey.io: 30% (See @atomicpoet to follow the *key story)
- #mastodon.social(!!): 5%
/1
maegul, (edited ) Big surprise for me was how much mastodon.social is growing (especially given the tension about its dominance).
It's current trend is to grow by the equivalent of the 23rd largest instance per month while most (ie largest) instances are growing by 2% per month (ie a few thousand, which, guessing, would be something like the 300th largest instance or so ... ie small).
/2
maegul, Fedidb records ~21k instances.
Which means that ~20% of the fediverse users not on the core/central 150 instances are spread out amongst ~20,000 instances.
I'm guessing many of these are self-hosting, but it'd be very interesting to look through all of the data to get a clear picture.
Otherwise, there are probably many small community instances out there ... which is awesome!
carlwgeorge, Calckey looks like it has some pretty awesome features. However, using it as a primary account would mean migrating and changing my handle. This makes me think that Bluesky may be onto something regarding "account portability" in the AT protocol. Being able to keep the same handle when migrating between providers sounds really appealing.
atomicpoet, @carlwgeorge We're going to try to make migration easier with post import. That's being tested, in fact!
carlwgeorge, @atomicpoet That's great, I know people that have migrated between Mastodon instances and were frustrated with losing their post history. But that isn't the same thing as keeping the same handle. Decoupling provider and identify intrigues me. I'm not an expert but that doesn't seem to be a possibility in ActivityPub.
kidehen, This is a test post, using yet another #Fediverse #DataSpace that supports the #ActivityPub protocol.
popcornreel, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr told the USA over and over again in 1967 about the triple evils of racism, poverty and militarism and the country—yes, the COUNTRY (symbolically) killed him instead. And every time this country starts a war or an act of gun violence occurs here or a poor person is created or demonized or a person refuses to vote this country called the USA kills MLK Jr all over again.
J12t, Looking for a good #peertube instance to host #Fediforum demo videos (of #fediverse apps). Any recommendations?
J12t, @strypey @support Sounds complicated :-) For now, we are settling on peertube.linuxrocks.online
strypey, @J12t
> For now, we are settling on peertube.linuxrocks.onlineWhatever works ;) Great you're using PT instead of just chucking it up on ThemTube! Thanks to the wonders of PT federation, conf.tube can if they wish include the FediForum channel, regardless of which instance it's on.
@support
popcornreel, When you have a selfish society that values relentless capitalistic ways, violence, greed, war, power, money, guns and objects over human beings and all other living things and nature all you get in return is death, destruction and pollution.

alfredo_liberal,
alfredo_liberal, @fisco1791 @fedizen is downloading F-droid safe on S10+ I don't want to harm my phone if it's unsafe
fisco1791, @alfredo_liberal @fedizen You don't need to download the F-Droid app, even though its quite safe, as recognized alternative app store.. You can just download the . APK file for Fedilab, and install..👍🏼
vik, While #Mastodon has shortcut keys on the web page to allow quick access, #Github actually seizes control of the / key rendering accessibility search mode inoperative.
Good job I just got the "Mouse Mode" working on the pico version of the Quirkey. Will try to upload the changes using only the keyboard an see what else breaks.
vik, Yeah, Github is nigh on impossible to navigate using an accessibility keyboard only.
vwbusguy, 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the #fediverse.
christo, @vwbusguy I thought vagueposting was a Twitter thing. 😬
christo, @vwbusguy Thanks. Looks like Mozilla is getting into the Mastodon game also, planning to give UI some love.

glassbottommeg, I hear a lot about reconnecting with old communities after moving over to #Mastodon but less about this being a huge moment for new communities to be formed
which is to say,
RISE UP, my fellow "eating a whole handful of cheese out the bag of shredded cheese while standing in the kitchen leaning over your nachos", our time is nigh!
Craigp, @glassbottommeg My people!
glassbottommeg, Comparing "viral" threads on Masto vs Twitter, maybe the biggest difference is stuff just keeps going over here? It's neat but weird.
Twitter sorta murders posts after a few days unless they're truly mega viral, whereas Masto is just people's interests, and Masto is apparently full of Cheese Crew, who keep the cheese dream alive.
