“This would be far more reliable than Twitter’s current pay-for-a-checkmark system. Because the CBC’s Mastodon server would be connected to the larger fediverse, the CBC would both enjoy global reach and local autonomy. And no billionaire could ever take that away.”

Zapraszam do lektury nowego wpisu na moim blogasku "m0bi o Fedi":

O metodzie Kopiego Pasta
Czyli dlaczego bez “Wyszukaj lub wklej adres” na Mastodonie się nie da.

https://zb3.org/m0bi13/o-metodzie-kopiego-pasta

P.S. Artykuł o migracji niebawem ;)

ernest,

To jest bardzo istotne, gdy już wyrobi się nawyk używania wyszukiwarki w fedi, dalej jest z górki ;-)

W Kbin jest opcja skopiowania url komentarza / posta który wyświetli się na danej instancji oraz który można wklepać w wyszukiwarkę na dowolnej platformie.

No i powstaje też społeczność która ma na celu pomoc twórcom aplikacji fediwersowych. Planowane są opisy integracji, snippety kodu, use-cases.

@m0bi13 polecam

Jetzt, wo infolge abhanden gekommener Blauhaken (und #Reichweite) wahrscheinlich noch mal eine größere Welle von Usern samt Gefolge aus dem Vogelkäfig zu #Mastodon abwandert, ist für mich vielleicht ein guter Zeitpunkt, mal wieder mit Klarnamen aufzutreten und zugleich zu unterstreichen, dass das #Fediverse nicht nur aus Mastodon besteht, sondern noch andere schöne Töchter hat. A mi, me gusta #Misskey. Die #Instanz von https://misskey.de/ ist zudem in guten Händen (betrieben vom gleichen Admin, der auch die #Friendica-Instanz https://libranet.de/ betreibt, die schon seit Jahren existiert.

Meinen bisherigen Account bei Mastodon werde ich bis auf weiteres und vielleicht auch längerfristig noch weiter betreuen. Allerdings werde ich das meiste, was ich dort poste, zunächst von meinem neuen Misskey-Account aus posten und dann dort einfach boosten. Auf diese Weise bekommt ihr es, wenn ihr mir dort folgt, weiterhin mit. Trotzdem freue ich mich natürlich über alle, die mir (auch) oder alternativ unter diesem neuen Account folgen.

Im Laufe des Wochenendes werde ich wohl auch allen folgen, denen ich mit meinem Mastodon-Account folge. Das Prozedere ist leider etwas umständlich, weil man von Mastodon nicht einfach so zu Misskey umziehen kann wie innerhalb von Mastodon. Da gibt es noch Verbesserungsbedarf. Ansonsten aber gilt: #FediPower und #FediverseIsFuture!

Schoen, dass in diese nun auch u.a. das @ZDF & @wikipedia eingezogen sind.

So ganz allein haette ich hier wirklich Angst bekommen. Danke 🙏

Does anyone know a Federated app (one that uses ActivityPub) that allows for multi-user access to a single profile?

For a contra-example, if I use Mastodon to create a profile for an organization, I can only create one account and one password. Sure I could share that password with other org leaders, but if one person changes the password, the others are locked out.

So I need an app that can create a multi-user profile and that people can access with their own username and password and give "admin" rights to multiple people, less privileged account rights to others, etc.

Then folks could post to that one account.

Any ideas?

"La scelta di convogliare di default sulla tua istanza gli utenti dell'app ufficiale è sbagliata!" L'appello di Aral Balkan al fondatore di Mastodon Eugen Gargron

@fediverso

Carissimo @Gargron

Ti prego di rivalutare la decisione di incentivare la centralizzazione sul mastodon.social nell'app ufficiale.Questo è il tipo di progettazione che una startup finanziata da Venture Capital avrebbe implementato, non una no-profit che agisce nell'interesse di un bene comune.

Sono sicuro che non vuoi che mastodon.social diventi un mini-Twitter e non desideri diventare un mini-Musk.

Non è così che vinceremo.

Più istanze, non più grandi istanze: questa è la chiave.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

Dear @Gargron,

Please reevaluate your decision to incentivise centralisation on mastodon.social in the official app.

This is the sort of design a VC-funded startup would implement, not a non-profit acting in the interests of a healthy commons.

I’m sure you don’t want mastodon.social to become mini-Twitter and you don’t want to become mini-Musk.

That’s not how we win this.

More instances, not larger instances is the key.

Help: I’ve been using Mastodon for a few months now and I still don’t get servers/instances. Please explain to me.

I don’t understand how instance rules would affect what I see if I can follow anyone anyway.

⚡️ Am I meant to be interacting more with people who are on my instance? (I’m not and I have no idea how to.)

⚡️ Is my chosen instance affecting my ability to find community?

⚡️ What tangible day-to-day impact does my server choice have?

I don't think have been adequately explained to be easily understandable.

If you put keywords like this

"cartoons tmnt" (one row)

It will show you toots containing "cartoons" and "tmnt" keywords.

If you put your keywords line by line, as in

cartoons
tmnt

It will show you results containing either keyword, cartoon, or tmnt.

Example: I have an Antenna called "Wrestling," and it catches all toots with any of the following keywords (listed one on each line)

wrestling
prowrestling
wwe
aew
njpw

Antennas WILL NOT load past toots posted BEFORE your antenna setup.

I hope this helps someone.

https://silversword.online is more than half a year old now and with about a third of active users (from 150 accounts). The server receives 16€/mo donations to help with server cost (I'd love to upgrade the server performance but alas), thank you for that.

We interact mostly with:

  1. Mastodon.social

  3. Mastodon.gamedev.place

Would 100% do it again.

My Twitter account is basically an encouragement platform to my old followers to move over here.

@kimberlyadams and
@kairyssdal, I just heard your episode on Unpacking Mastodon:

https://www.marketplace.org/shows/make-me-smart/unpacking-mastodon

@rwg offers some great, newbie-friendly explanations of how the fediverse works, what's better about it than the corporate platforms, and how funding and governance works in a decentralised network. I was really glad to hear you talking about how Mastodon works with other apps; to me this is the key thing that gives fediverse an advantage over any silo app.

TheAutisticTooter, to photography

I'm off tonight to photograph more swing dancing. My goal tonight is to aim for a more pleasing compromise between ambient light and flash, while still freezing motion. (Wedding photographers have a tough job, I'm learning).

A single speed light, on camera, but bounced behind me was insufficient power last time. Tonight I'm setting up a couple speedlights off camera to bounce off the wall, and another across the room to back light. We'll see.

youronlyone,

@TheAutisticTooter

Also, am I doing threads right?

Over in Twitter, you create the original post, then for every succeeding post, it should be a reply to the OP. This method works here in the , too.

But, if I'm not mistaken, the suggested way—according to creators of —is to reply to every succeeding reply. So, you sort of create a tree of replies. Then apps that supports or thread view will be able to display it correctly.

ajsadauskas, to fediverse in Can ActivityPub save the internet?
@ajsadauskas@aus.social avatar

@rysiek @KelsonV I'm all for the growing hype around ActivityPub.

From The Verge:

"The hottest new thing in social isn’t vertical video, and it’s not AI-driven algorithmic feeds. Instead, it’s a little-known, years-old protocol called ActivityPub that could help rewire the entire social fabric of the internet.

"In recent months, a number of tech companies have thrown their resources into ActivityPub and what’s now known as “the Fediverse.” Tumblr is working with ActivityPub, as are Flipboard, Medium, Mozilla, and even Meta. There’s now an official WordPress plug-in for ActivityPub, which will enable the protocol for something like half the internet all at once. Developers are using ActivityPub to build new and different takes on YouTube, Instagram, and much more. ActivityPub is everywhere! ActivityPub!"
