Every morning, an instance administrator wakes up knowing they need to keep the infrastructure running smoothly for their users, ensuring a good and free social experience.
Every morning, a Fediverse user wakes up knowing they will find many people eager to socialize and interact, who strive to keep the Internet a place for the free exchange of ideas and opinions, away from the dynamics of closed protocols and Big Tech monetization.
It doesn't matter if you are a server administrator or a Fediverse user, thank you for being here and for contributing every day with your efforts to keep the Internet a free place.
Seeing a lot of buzz about how the #fediverse is losing users (almost always based on #mastodon numbers) as they drift to things like Threads and Bluesky. Anecdotally I’ve noticed a drop in “engagement”, but I’m not really phased.
This is the weird kids table in the school cafeteria, with the D&D club and goths. We were never going to be the “big thing”, and that’s good.
A social media friend group turned friendly gathering earlier this month when @jeanettepizzurro (Jette), @Rasta (Rasta), and I (Brian) met up to hang out. It was a great time with great friends and a bit surreal actually spending an evening telling stories and laughing together in person.
Would anyone out who is tech savvy be able to explain a couple things to me, who is not? Or point me in the right direction.
How can I search for a subject on Mastodon?
The search engines have now been taken over by AI on all browsers, it seems. The worst part is, I can’t use the kind of search lingo I used to because it’s so literal and can’t find what I’m looking for. Is there any way to bypass AI results? Is this permanent?
@claudiamiles 1/2 The question about how to search depends on whether you're using an app, or the browser version. In the browser, there's a link at top left. That searches entire documents. There is no "subject" for Mastodon posts. There are what are called "hashtags", which start with the hash mark "#", that can optionally be used to mark subjects discussed in a message. For instance, I'm going to tag this message as #Mastodon related. Search engines in part 2/2.
Ich wage noch einen Versuch: Gibt es hier Entitäten, die #Glitchsoc (oder zur Not auch #Mastodon) auf #Yunohost selberhosten? Mein Glitchsoc versendet keine Mails. Im .env.production steht localhost als Mailserver. Das war bei meiner Firefish-Instanz auf Yunohost auch so und hat auch keine Mails verschickt. Erst als ich meinen Yunohost-Server als externen Mailserver eingetragen hab, ging's. Vielleicht muss ich das bei Glitchsoc auch machen, fürchte mich aber, .env.production zu manipulieren.
Liebe Leute in Schleswig-Holstein, die sich für die Arbeit des #ADFC SH interessieren,
die Geschäftsstelle des ADFC SH wird für den Vorstand Diskussionsgrundlagen zum Sinn und Unsinn von #Mastodon und #Fediverse vorbereiten. Nun ist das hier für manche Neuland und es scheint unbekannt, warum Mastodon einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Wirken des ADFC in SH bietet.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr uns eure Wünsche dazu schreibt.
An: info@adfc-sh.de.
Nehmt mich thijs.lucas@adfc-sh.de gerne in CC nehmen.
I'm a disabled multidisciplinary artist and full-time caretaker for my elderly mother.
We were unable to retain our home and now Mom, my ESA and I are living in a hotel. I am no longer able to do any work since I have no access to my PC, Guitar, Recording Equipment nor my art supplies.
Tihi :blobcatgiggle: I was just searching if my local municipality is already on #Mastodon but instead I found a "council request" to talk about getting them on the Dutch gov instance within a few months :blobhappy:
Je lis "Paresse pour tous" de Hadrien Klent. C'est un livre bien relaxant que j'ai choisi pour changer d'humeur et je ne m'attendais pas du tout à ça. Le #fediverse fait parti de la science fiction politique de cour terme. Bien évident, là où je l'ai lu. 😁
