The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

1.4.0 is on the way! We have some translations that are nearly complete, but we need some help getting them over the finish line.

If you have the time and are a speaker of Occitan, Dutch, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Polish, Basque, Japanese, or Portuguese (Brazil), we'd really appreciate your help getting our translation strings to 100%

Tusky is looking for contributors!

The team has lost a few contributors this year for various reasons, and we need your help building a kick-ass Mastodon app!

While we would also appreciate more technical contributors, we are specifically looking for:

  • a person who can manage or help with our social account
  • a project manager who can help us draft a Code of Conduct

Please help us spread the word 😊

Do I know anyone here who is willing to share their experience deploying an institutional Mastodon server? A contact of mine is looking for someone to discuss the experience as he works on getting a government agency to deploy their own instance. Boosts appreciated

Hey there! 👋

This account is here to help answer questions about Mastodon and the Fediverse.

If you have any questions, feel free to reply or message me and I'll try to find you answers.

Especially interested in helping beginners and non-technical people, there is no such thing as a silly question 👍

(By the way, as someone just asked, I do have a website full of tips and help for beginners at https://fedi.tips)

Hey any journalists on here plz turn your public post indexing on, because most of you haven't and thats why people looking for public information cant find you.

Go to settings > public profile > privacy and reach, select "include public posts in search results"

Not all the fedi wants to be a public space, and thats fine, but some parts should be right now.

Mastodon 4.2.0 brings a number of new options for searching. You can add special operators to filter what you search for:

has:media or poll or embed
language:fr or other language codes (usually 2 letters)
is:reply or sensitive
from:user or me (me is for your own posts)
in:all or library (library means posts you've interacted with)
before:date (YYYY-MM-DD)
during:date
after:date

Make sure there's no space after :

For example, to show results with polls include phrase has:poll in your search.

I've upgraded publicgood.social to v4.2.0 (confirmed on the status line) and everything seems to work... BUT... Search Conditionals are not available.

In the "Search" field, I see in the drop-down under SEARCH OPTIONS I see the text "Not available on publicgood.social".

Any thoughts?

Hi hello, it's me, the @bookwyrm maintainer! To support myself, I work as a baker, and the hours and physical demands of the job mean I haven't had the time and energy to give BookWyrm the attention that it needs. I'd love to re-prioritize, but to do that I need... money.

If you would like to see more, better, and faster progress on BookWyrm, consider supporting it financially:

You might think after reading this post "Hasn't Owncast been saying this for years?" Yes. And we still haven't given up!

As new, very cool, features start to get planned, the Owncast project is on the hunt for a user experience designer to help us turn them into reality.

Do you want to have a say in how new features, that will get into people's hands, work and look? Now is the time to get involved, early on, so you can have influence on them.

Reach out and say hi!

Anyone knows of a app that allows you to do drafts one or more ? (Not facebook - actual threads)
@feditips ? 🙏

Edit: to be more specific: I’d like to be able to create a thread in the app, so a sequence of posts (not just 1 post) that can each have text, images etc. and are in a specific order, and if need be save it and come back to update it later, and eventually post it.
Also, I am using iOS and desktop (Windows). If you check the comments you’ll see that Fedilab seems to allow this but for Android.

Thanks for all the input so far!

I'm looking for a little help working through some database scaling issues with .

On our Write.as instance, we're up to 4.25 million rows in our posts table, and it's causing problems for some individual blogs with 9,000+ posts.

I have an idea of what some bottleneck queries are. But wondering if there are easy db optimizations we might make (indexes, etc.), and if anyone can help identify what they might be.

Boosts appreciated!

@feditips is there any kind of ReminderBot for Fediverse messages?

Suggestion: Reach out to your local government, emergency service provider, and/or news org. Let them know that Twitter has ended public access to content and that Mastodon is a working alternative today. I did this on the weekend with my local emergency folks and this morning I got a reply back saying they had noticed the embedded Twitter feed on their webpage was broken.

They didn't realize Twitter had cut that service. Now, hopefully, they are considering their options including Mastodon.

MakerTube is now open for public registrations! It's a video instance for makers, musician, artists and DIY content creators. If you thought of trying out a video platform besides big corp now is the time!

Join in https://makertube.net or any other instance and let's make peertube a place as great as Mastodon.

Please boost this post! Share your creations! Let's build alternatives that stay!

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who use AltText to add descriptions to your pics and media. As someone who used to be able to see but has been blind for over 30 years now, it allows me to see the pic in my mind and is greatly appreciated and allows me to enjoy them.

Another heartfelt thanks to those who use #CamelBack in their hashtags. This makes it so much easier to understand with a screen reader and for those who read print as well! ❤️

If you've ever wanted to contribute to an open source project, but thought "I'm not technical" or "I don't program" but have experience with design Owncast would love to have you involved!

We're planning for future features and would love to have a designer involved early.

People say "Owncast needs polish", so maybe you can help make a real difference!

Fediverse advice needed:

Does activating authorised fetch / secure mode on Mastodon cause connections with non-Mastodon platforms to break?

Are there other drawbacks of secure mode apart from the increased resources it uses?

I'm trying to list more Fediverse groups on fedi.directory. You can see groups I've listed so far at https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups/

I've tried to only list groups that are active and have a friendly atmosphere.

If you have any groups you think I should add, let me know in the replies! :)
