There are over 8K LoC for Pixelfed Groups atm, and that will likely double in the coming months (mobile apps, federation, etc...)
It's the most complex feature we've ever shipped, and we've pioneered several mod and safety tools to enable the best experience across Pixelfed instances
Rest assured, I will show the fediverse how it's done 💅
Je passe de plus en plus de temps sur Peertube. Ou du moins je trouve plein de choses intéressantes.
Par contre quand je télécharge quelques vidéos je dois les réencoder car il y a parfois des problèmes d'affichage ou encore le temps qui ne s'affiche pas correctement. Un détail.
public holiday on a #Monday = great opportunity to listen to all entries for #fedivision2024
only just got started but it seems like there's once again a great range of musical styles and professional and hobby artists, so don't miss out on this major #Fediverse event

Free codes in Fortnite are occasionally released in bunches, but most of them give out emotes, free Fortnite skins, or any of the game's various cosmetics rather than V-Bucks which are hard to come by.
@triskelion Forgejo is preparing for that as we speak. You already can use a mastodon instance as oauth provider, according to the docs (Haven’t tried it yet)
@cliffwade The hardest part was getting it installed as it wasn’t in the package manager of the distribution I’m using. But once I got it installed, it surprisingly just worked (no futzing with drivers or config files needed). Was able to listen to FM radio stations, NOAA weather radio, air traffic control for the nearby airport, and some local ham activity.
New: Last Week in #fediverse - ep 69
It's this weeks news, with:
Celebrating the 16th birthday of the fediverse
European Commission sets up their own Mastodon server after the previous fediverse pilot by the EDPS has ended.
The European Commission has announced their new Mastodon account, and that they will stay on the fediverse. Over the last 2 years, the European Data Protection Supervisor had run a Mastodon and Peertube pilot for the EU, and that pilot has come to an end. The European Commission had by far the most successful and impactful presence on the fediverse out of the pilot, and they wanted to continue. The problem was that the EDPS struggled to find another EU organisation willing to take on the responsibility of hosting. As I wrote when the news came out, the perception and framing of the EDPS was wrong on how the fediverse should be approached by the EU: taking on responsibility for all EU-affiliated organisations social media presence is an unrealistic ask, and it is not a surprise that they could not find an organisation willing to do so. Instead, now the European Commission is taking responsibility and control of their own account; they are hosting their own Mastodon server. This is a much more sustainable and realistic approach for EU organisations moving forward.
The bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky has been used to spam Bluesky with pro-Trump messaging, with the spam originating from Nostr. The spam was created on Nostr, which bridges to the fediverse with the Mostr bridge, which in turn can be bridged to Bluesky. While all the networks have many places of easy, open signups, spam tends to happen were signups can easily happen in bulk, and the protocol design of Nostr makes it especially easy to create new accounts.
Micro.blog held their yearly micro.camp as an online live stream event, with a conversation about blogging with Christina Warren, as well as a demo of two new features of micro.blog: hiding replies on your blog and a new way for people to comment by verifying their Mastodon, Bluesky or micro.blog account.
Bluesky projects
This week I also wrote about three projects from Japanese developers who are building on top of ATProto, and build a video platform, audio spaces and a blogging platform, and I go into more detail on the challenges that building new products for the ATmosphere poses.
Ghost’s weekly update about building on ActivityPub, showing more progress. Ghost estimates that a release will take “more than a month, but less than a year, probably”.
Pixelfed has a Matrix channel again. Pixelfed developer lost admin control of the previous Matrix channel, and considered going exclusively to Discord. After many requests from the community now there is a new matrix channel again.
The ForgeFed project, which works on federated software forges, has gotten their NLnet grant extended, and showcased a demo of their reference implementation.
Hackaday.com looks at ‘your open-source client options in the non-Mastodon fediverse’
Hab hier ein Kuvert mit 16 Kunstdrucken / Farbdrucken verschiedener "Kult-Modelle", das ich gerne für einen kleinen Obulus einer Interessent*in abgeben möchte :)
Attention, #fediverse. My wife and I are private pilots and visiting Paris and Bordeaux in the fall. We’d love the opportunity to fly the French countryside. Any recommendations?
Attention, #fediverse. Ma femme et moi sommes pilotes privés et visitons Paris et Bordeaux à l'automne. Nous aimerions avoir l'occasion de parcourir la campagne française. Des recommandations?
