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! 😭

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? just like below

paul,
@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@Ric

That smaller icon boosted the post of the larger Icon.

That just shows the account that boosted the posts author's account.. It shows the larger icon boosted the account of the smaller icon.

See, I boosted you and there I am.

Good morning everyone!

I'm enjoying more and more every day. Compared to , 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 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,

Mastodon should allow uploading and posting images when creating polls so the poll can have a visual representation of what the poll is trying to survey.

@textovervideo i would rather it reminded people when they haven't added alt text to images. Hint hint

@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.

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.

: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!"

Es ist wieder soweit! :fediverse: :mastodon:

Mastodon Sprechstunde
am Donnerstag 23.05.2024, 19:30 Uhr!

Du bist 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!

@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.

Is there a instance dedicated to amateur ? 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.

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.

Really shows the diversity of the fediverse!

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?

My call-out to 2 Nazis were removed by my instance. Any naivety about 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 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 .

Mastodon is as full of hate as any other social media.

Anyone have any solutions for auto posting to 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,
@revengeday@corteximplant.com avatar

@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,
@twop0intfive@corteximplant.com avatar

@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!

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:

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!

@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.

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.

@Andres Yes, I found a list of some instances that were listed as open, a few I tried were closed for new signups.
