I understand that "articles" do not go to mastodon, but "microblogs" do. There are 3 "posts" (microblogs) in my magazine, but nothing has appeared under the magazine's account on Mastodon. There are apparently 11 followers over there, so I feel bad that they are not getting any content....
A few months ago, this concept of “p92” started leaking and it was rumored that Meta was joining the fediverse. Initially, not much happened with the discussion. I could run around and say “Nope, I’m not defederating” and no one really cared or challenged that position. I made it clear I advocate for user agency;...
A portal for new users to join Mastodon, exiting users to enrich accounts with more follows, and for organizing to help #TakeBackSocial and spread the open social web and the Fediverse.
Hey all, we just ticked over the 500 sub mark. It's been very encouraging reading your stories of how you've found this community, the wider fediverse and reading what you have to say! I am confident we can continue to grow and keep the same friendly vibe going forward....
Additionally does anyone have any recommendations of cool people and organizations to follow on Mastodon? I am literally open to any and all ideas and representations (I wish to expand my understanding as well as open my mind to views that oppose my own proclivities).
I'm aware this is probably because of SEO bs, but I can't google posts on the Fediverse. You can easily find posts/accounts on twitter or Reddit using Google, but not Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy, etc. The only way to find ANYTHING about them is by going directly through the sites themselves, and typing in the entire domain like it's...
I'm guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy....
Anyone else on Mastodon? Let's connect! I follow like 15 people, I desperately need more interesting people in my feed. Let's do it like this: fill in the form below in the comments. I'll start!...
As an effect of the recent Reddit blackout, the company is now surrounded by disappointed investors and community. I predict that Reddit may end up facing the same fate as Tumblr: being sold to another company. Only time will tell what the future holds for Reddit, but one thing is for sure - the protest will leave a lasting...
Hey everyone, super excited to be exploring the fediverse both here on kbin and elsewhere. Looking for a Mastodon client primarily for iOS, great to see the main app is open-source, but there seems to be quite a few options out there. Feel free to share non-iOS clients for others' benefit as well....
Meta gives more information about their upcoming microblogging service that uses ActivityPub. Linux creator Linus Torvald yells at a far-right user, and the resulting discussion leads to Mozilla potentially committing engineers to help build better blocking systems. PixelFed has many updates, including Instagram Import.
I’ve been using fediverse stuff (Mastodon and, most recently, Calckey – I’m just going to use “Mastodon” as shorthand here, purists can bite me) for over a year now, a…
The fediverse has always grown in waves and we're at the start of one. It's worth looking at what tactics worked well in the past, to use them again or adapt them and build on them. It's also valuable to look at what went wrong or didn't work out as well in the past, to see if there are ways to do better....
'Mastodon-skaperen, Eugen Rochko forteller i bloggpost om ny retning for plattformen. Twitter-utfordreren har lenge levd på god støtte i konkurransen mot Elon Musk sitt nye Twitter-regime, men nå har deler av miljøet reist motmæle om de nye endringene.'

Mastodon-the-software is used by far by the most people on fedi. The biggest instance, mastodon.social, is home to over 200.000 active accounts as of this writing. This is roughly 1/10th of the whole Fediverse, on a single instance. Worse, Mastodon-the-software is often identified as the whole social network, obscuring the fact...
Defederation has come up in multiple different contexts recently in the Fediverse. Even more so, the way other protocols are developing is setting up more significant questions about future choices regarding federation as well.
