The reason why we would love to see more accounts talk about composting on the #fediverse is simple.
You will be able to focus on your area and explain to local people what they can compost and where they can get their organic matter.
You can create a local community that will help your local area make a better place.
If we started this account it is for a main reason. Make people understand that by choosing to compost they can have a positive impact and do something about the #ClimateChange.
So creating a multitude of local accounts that will allow people to organize and make their area a better place is a very powerful thing to do for the #climate.
It's now possible to connect #Bluesky and #Fediverse accounts together, and talk across a bridge! We get into the nuts and bolts of how it works, and what you can do to get started! #BridgyFed
The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .
That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.
Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?
Ich hoffe, ihr findet eine Lösung, die auch #Mastodon bzw. das #Fediverse stärkt. Denn immerhin ist das hier Socialmedia 'Made in the EU' 👍👍 und ganz nebenbei noch der Liebling des Datenschutzes 🙂
With version 4.2.0 Mastodon added full text search. People asked for a better guide, so I am trying to create one. If I missed something or there is a mistake, please let me know in the comments. You can write a comment by replying to this post in the Fediverse, simply copy the URL, search for it in your Fediverse-client and reply to it.
Limitations of Mastodon search
Because the Fediverse is distributed, there is no way to search through all posts. You can only search through posts that are known to the instance that you are using. That are posts from accounts on the same instance, the posts reposted by accounts on your instance and posts from accounts that are followed by at least one account of your instance.
While there is the saying that elephants don’t forget anything, Mastodon software is intentionally forgetful. By default it forgets (removes from it’s database) posts from other servers that are older than 7 days. That means that you can probably only find posts from other instances from within the last 7 days.
Finally, you can find only posts that are public and from an account that set their posts to be searchable. The default of the default setting is set for posts to not be searchable. Admins can change the default for the default and users can override it either way.
Exception: You can always search through your own posts, posts that mention you and posts you faved.
Mastodon Search Operators
Post content wordA wordB By default Mastodon will look for all words that you entered (separated by a space) in any order anywhere in the post. “wordA wordB” With quotation marks, you will only get results that contain those words in that order without any words between them. They may be separated by multiple spaces, line breaks or even special characters.
User from:username shows you posts from the user with the username username. For people from other instances, you have to use the full username. Eg: from:luca@social.luca.run from:me yields posts from yourself.
Time before:2024-04-25 shows posts that were before 25th of April 2024. Without posts posted on 2024-04-25. after:2024-04-25 shows posts that were posted before 25th of April 2024. With posts posted on 2024-04-25. during:2024-04-25 shows posts that were posted on 25th of April 2024. Short form for after:2024-04-25 before:2024-04-26
All three operators use your local timezone not UTC like it was on Twitter. I am not aware of an option to narrow search down to hours or minutes.
Language language:en finds posts in English. language:de German posts. You can use all ISO-639-1 language codes and a few ISO-639-3 ones.
Type is:reply to only get replies. is:sensitive to only get posts with a content notice.
Features has:media for posts with attached images or videos. has:image for posts with attached images. has:video for posts with attached videos. has:link for posts with URLs. has:poll for posts with polls. has:embed for posts with embeds. Not previews, actual embeds like a video that you can watch without leaving your client.
Index in:library Your own posts, posts that mention you and your favs. in:public Public, searchable posts known to your server. in:all Combines both options and is the default. You don’t need to use this explicitly.
Exclude
You can exclude a searchterm -wordA or any of the other operators -is:reply. There is + as well, but because the default behaviour is to combine the operators, you don’t need that.
You can combine multiple operators to narrow down your results. Mastodon will only show posts that match all operators. I am not aware of an option to search for posts that match either one operator or another one.
Funfacts/quirks
is: and has: are treated the same way. As a result you can either search for has:image or is:image and get the same results. In the case of replies, this is misleading. has:reply does not find posts that have replies, but posts that are replies.
Ola's Bhavish Agarwal is on a tirade against linkedin.
People are missing the point. I think the core issue is that linkedin should not delete his comment, even if they dont agree with the contents of it. Bhavish might have a politically incorrect (or correct) take on using pronouns, but either ways its not LinkedIn's job to delete his comment until and unless it runs fouls of government guidelines.
Dream Path, colored pencil and digital art. I woke in a dream. Stone stairs I knew not beckoned me follow. Pondering I gazed. Magic danced in the sky, evermore enticing. What venture awaited me I'll never know, awakening too soon.

Ich weiß noch sehr genau, wie wir unsere Facebook-Seite vor 14 Jahren gestartet haben. Da gab es noch keine Formatentwicklungen, noch keine Usertests, noch keine inhaltlichen Strategien. Nur ein Versuch, die neue Social-Media-Welt auch inhaltlich zu bespielen. Mehr als 800.000 Follower:innen später geht dieser Weg bei Facebook heute zu Ende.
Mal Klartext: Ich war Fan von 1live – und habe mich abgewendet, weil dieses Format hier im #Fediverse nicht vertreten ist und ich keinem Datenkraken mehr meine Daten hinterherwerfe. Eure Zielgruppe ist hier, nur könnt ihr sie nicht sehen, weil ihr nicht hier seid.
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.
Good morning #Fediverse friends. Hope your weekend was well.
Let’s take a moment and gather for our daily #KoffeeWithKyle conversation and see what our plans are for this Monday.
I started out with a great meeting with the #Vivaldi Community lead and Ambassador lead. Nice ladies. Glad to be apart of the group. Now having to deal with people at work. 🙄 Later it’s just some schoolwork then relaxing.
I want to be more active about encouraging #Threads users to federate.
To that end, I asked @nationalkidneyfoundation to federate this morning and bring their good work around kidney disease and transplant to the #fediverse.
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.
