These are posts from Bluesky, Nostr, and Mastodon users, all in the same feed.

This is the power of #openprotocols #OpenSource and powerful bridges made by @alex , @snarfed.org@snarfed.org , and @twilliability and utilized by the @agora client

Just added an algorithmic “For You” feed to the @agora Mastodon client!

It finds high quality posts from your follows, and combines it with interesting posts from accounts you aren’t following.

The goal is for it to be the best combination of posts from your network and undiscovered posts based entirely on your interests, not on maximizing engagement or clicks.

Big thanks to @pkreissel and the awesome FediAlgo project for making it possible

bird.makeup is a twitter bridge that makes Mastodon much more appealing for those wanting all their follows in one place. So it's super lame that many of the largest instances chose to outright block it, rather than setting it to limited.

The entire purpose of "limited" is that only users who explicitly follow someone on the limited instance, will see that persons posts. So what's the problem?

cc-ing admins of the blocking instances:
@Gargron @mwadmin @trumpet @wild1145 @nicdex

In support of user autonomy, it would be nice to see #Mastodon clients notifying users when a profile they’re searching is on a remote instance that’s blocked/ #defederated by their instance, and then offer to load it for them directly if they still want to see it.

Instance admins have the right to choose what gets federated to their servers, but users shouldn’t be totally at the whim of those admins decisions.

This is one of the things i’m prioritizing with the Agora client i’m working on.

Newton's new zoning, the Village Center Overlay District (VCOD), was passed by the City Council Last Week. The VCOD is designed to allow for the concentration of housing and commercial opportunities near transit, amenities, and places to gather.

@alex If I'm logged in to a nostr account on a mastodon web client using ditto.pub, and I look for a mastodon account, it should be the mostr.pub version, right?

Having trouble getting ditto.pub to find a bridged mastodon account on mostr.pub.

Example:

Mastodon account: @anneapplebaum
Mostr.pub bridged account:
anneapplebaum_at_journa.host@mostr.pub

When searching that on a nostr client, it finds it, but when searching from a mastodon client using ditto.pub, it doesn't. Thoughts?
