The best thing that could ever happen to Mastodon is if someone, someday builds a great instance coupled with a great client and hardly anyone cares that it's built on Mastodon.
If that where to happen it would be the moment that Mastodon fulfills its true potential. #mastodon#fediverse
The problem with Mastodon is that it's software not a service. That's where all the confusion starts. @Gargron shouldve called the flagship instance something completely different. [insert platform name here] built on Mastodon. But of course hindsight is 20/20 and no one could've predicted the great migration. Perhaps people would've joined a Mastodon site as they previously browsed web sites? #mastodon#fediverse
I talk about the #fediverse in this episode of Technically Optimistic, a terrific podcast by Raffi Krikorian and Emerson Collective. The topic: How to Save Social Media
If you're looking to host your very own single-user/a-few-users #fediverse instance, you cannot go wrong with #snac. It is simple to install on Ubuntu and works very well with some really solid clients. It is also written in C, so it is fast, with few dependencies. Great work @grunfink, you've got a new monthly supporter on Ko-fi!
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
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.

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.
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 🙂
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.
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.
