AceyAngel, I don't think anyone understands the gravity of my situation
If I don't find a way to cover this I'll be forced to go back to my home country. We can't even afford a plane ticket, I legally cannot work on the Visa I currently hold.
PLEASE, PLEASE donate if you can or pleaseeee share my fundraiser with friends and family and get this to go viral or something! 😭

Ric, Ok I should really know this but can’t find the setting for the life of me. How do I get a little icon on the bottom right hand corner of my profile picture? #mastoadmin #mastodon just like below
jo, Good morning everyone!
I'm enjoying #mastodon more and more every day. Compared to #bluesky, which only provides a limited amount of features, this instance has granular control of the algorithmic impact of my own posts, explicit opt-in read receipts, and even mini-picture reactions! (I'm still holding out for #memoji support)
The biggest social media transformation is happening in our lives right now, and we shouldn't waste it on inferior platforms who are holding out features and ignoring their principles.
I hope that this trend continues to push out industry forward into making better software, for humans!
Love,
- Jonathan

textovervideo,
simon, @textovervideo i would rather it reminded people when they haven't added alt text to images. Hint hint
textovervideo, (edited ) @simon I tend to just upload images without adding alternative text to the images. I am going to make a better effort to adding ALT text to images on Mastodon.
matt, Can't believe @ChorltonArtsFestival are on #mastodon. :tiktok_wow:
One for all the #Manchester tooters to follow!
matt, Can't believe @stux boosted my post to his 173,000+ followers and it only got 2 extra likes and 1 boost. :tiktok_tears:
Even @babe's post that just said "piss" got more than that. :tiktok_awkward:
Clearly I failed the influencer test.
stux, @matt @babe No worries :blobcatgiggle: they're just sleep'n or something :flan_laugh:
jbzfn, :mastodon: The Trouble with Forking Mastodon
— @news"In light of the announcement of Mastodon’s US-based 501c3 Non-Profit, and the reveal of that organization’s board members, there has been backlash from members of the Mastodon community. Some people are even saying that this is the last straw, it’s time for a hard fork of the project!"
Doris, German Es ist wieder soweit! :fediverse: :mastodon:
Mastodon Sprechstunde
am Donnerstag 23.05.2024, 19:30 Uhr!Du bist #neu #neuhier auf Mastodon? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einstellen, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Schwerpunkt der Sprechstunde wird der Umzug des Kontos zu einer anderen Instanz sein.Eingeladen sind ebenfalls alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon haben und gern ihr Wissen weitergeben wollen.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse und auf Mastodon könnte anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, insbesondere denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse zu gestalten.Der Link zur Veranstaltung wird dann hier und in meinem Profil 1 Tag vor Beginn gepostet.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Das Online-Treffen wird auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server stattfinden. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome –, ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Die Sprechstunde läuft ungefähr so ab. Am Anfang geben alle Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Beginner. Später geht es um Tipps und Hinweise für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. So ein Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Es wird nicht ausschließlich um Mastodon gehen. Die Welt von Fediverse ist weitaus größer. Mehr miteinander, als gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen umso besser!

s1m0n4, One year on #Megalodon and #Mastodon and I found out only now that I can add my favourite hashtags as separate timeline tabs 🤦

derPUPE, German Dear @EU_Commission & @EDPS
I promise
if you say you want to continue using your #feediverse server Infrastruktor and your #Mastodon Accounts, I'll quit my job & help this Projekt and its Operations for free for two years
Deal?
aral, (edited ) @derPUPE @EU_Commission @EDPS But why should you have to do that? No one who works at the EU Commission (or EDPS or the European Parliament, etc.) works for free and this isn’t about lack of budget. If you were to do that, you should be paid a fair wage.
atoponce, Is there a #Mastodon instance dedicated to amateur #running? Races, training, etc.
I need to get some thoughts and opinions on training and racing out of my head. I could post them here, but this instance is primarily dedicated to Free Software. Most of my followers are probably either expecting posts related to that or cybersecurity, math, science, cryptography, etc. IE, not running.
Posting to a fitness-dedicated instance probably makes the most sense. Or setting up a blog.
oliviersaraja, @atoponce surely you have to do what suits you the best. You can consider multiple accounts also.
WTL,
stefan, It is pretty cool to see all the different forks of major fediverse platforms. Just learning about Chuckya, a "soft fork" of glitch-soc, which itself is a fork of Mastodon.
https://github.com/TheEssem/mastodon
Really shows the diversity of the fediverse!
hashraydamon, @stefan Is the one used by the wetdry.world instance
stefan, @hashraydamon Yes, that's how I learned about it! Very cool!
Peternimmo, Once again, @RickiTarr asks a question that sets #Mastodon ablaze- in a good way! Whatever your taste in #music, there's bound to be something here you'll love!
https://beige.party/@RickiTarr/112428606621284011
RickiTarr@beige.party - Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
HarveyEsq, Roger Stone fraudulently claimed that this was a picture of 'Don the Con' New Jersey rally.
Isn't Roger suppose to be in prison? Oh yeah, he got a pardon.
BTW. This photo is from @RodStewart's historic 1994 concert at #CopacabanaBeach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
alldragonsaredead, Polish Istnieje jakaś sieć społecznościowa, albo frontend Mastodona, który działa bardziej jak RSS i pozwala mi wyświetlać nieprzeczytane wpisy i oznaczać je jako przeczytane? #Mastodon
alldragonsaredead, Polish @rysiek Dzięki za informację. Kłopot w tym, że można w ten sposób subskrybować jedynie profile publicznie dostępne.
rysiek, Polish @alldragonsaredead to prawda.
mascottus, French Ahah, "Début 2024 #Mastodon compte à peine un million d’utilisateurs actifs, une poussière."
Quand le nombre d'utilisateurs est la seule chose regardée...
https://www.ojim.fr/bluesky-et-mastodon-le-flop-des-concurrents-de-x/
josemurilo, "Its structure makes it unlikely to replace Twitter for a user base in the billions…But #Mastodon is also unlikely to go away.
Despite its genuine #decentralisation, it has also implemented a #covenant that does a pretty good job of excluding the far-right extremists by a purely social process — if you keep horrible arseholes on your server, you’re liable to be shunned."

glukozavr, Am I correct, assuming that @tootapp is dead app? On AppStore no updates for a year and I seems not to find any activity around it anymore.
Which client would be the most versatile to work with #mastodon #pleroma #akkoma and maybe some other #activitypub services with iOS app and alive?
liaizon, @glukozavr @tootapp @Feditext is quite nice and getting updates often and supports stuff other then Mastodon
deadsuperhero, @glukozavr I’ve heard that Sora SNS is great!

0tracas, French #PhotoMay2024 Jour 12 : fierté personnelle d'avoir réalisé ce bon pot de café noir à déguster en mug sur #Mastodon
Un tabouret effet vache en tissu, et posé dessus dans un mug gris à pois blancs: le café noir
bossito, Portuguese My call-out to 2 Nazis were removed by my instance. Any naivety about #Mastodon is now buried deep. I had to leave my previous instance due to its antissemitic policy, and this past week antissemitism and xenophobia just run wild across the #Fediverse without consequence. Jewish lives don't matter here, if you defend the extermination of an entire country that's fine as long as it's #Israel.
Mastodon is as full of hate as any other social media.
twop0intfive, Anyone have any solutions for auto posting to #Mastodon when, for example, I go live on YouTube?
Currently working on a solution but it’s taking some time and I’m wondering if anyone else has attempted it. Haven’t had luck with things like IFTTT yet either.
Open to suggestions!
revengeday, @SynAck @twop0intfive I have a wild quick and dirty idea if you use OBS. You can embed websites in your scenes, and one could create a script that automatically sends a post when a specific scene starts. :D
twop0intfive, @revengeday @SynAck my current setup doesn’t utilize OBS unfortunately as I don’t have a gaming pc at this time; I’d mostly be streaming games to platforms like YouTube, twitch, perhaps even TikTok? direct from my console (PS5/XSS — or, in case of TikTok, via Win11 vm in azure, in which case I could utilize OBS). But this is good to have for the future, or perhaps my son (who Does have a gaming pc) could make use of it!
noellemitchell, According to FediDB there are 1,017,477 MAU on the fediverse right now.
The peak number of users was in July 2023, with 1,690,739 MAU. It's been dropping ever since. 😔 :fediverse:
nosherwan, @noellemitchell Fediverse userbase atleast on paper has more than doubled in 2 years. 😲
edwardchampion, At present, I am a Mastodon gypsy. Can anyone recommend an instance with the following qualities:
- 1,000 character limit (sorry, but I'm one of those peculiar people who need 1,000 characters or else I come across as a lunatic)
- The ability to upload video (I'll happily chip in on hosting costs)
- Friendly to progressives and journalists
- No alt-right moderators
- Admins and mods sympathetic to creative eccentrics like me
Thanks in advance!
edwardchampion, @raphaelmorgan Thanks for the heads up. I've swapped the word, certainly didn't intend to slur anyone, and won't be using it again.
raphaelmorgan, @edwardchampion heads up you missed it in the hashtags 😅 but thank you for being responsive!
stefan, (edited ) EDIT: I got my invitation, thank you all for sharing this!
Could someone invite me to a fediverse server that's running the glitch-soc version of Mastodon? Or point to one that has open registrations.
I'd like to investigate an issue that was reported with my authentication server, which I use for projects like https://data.stefanbohacek.dev/projects/fediverse.
