In the light of renewed conversations about Meta and Threads, I would like to remind everyone that it is now easier than ever to run your own fediverse community, without having to worry about setting up and maintaining your own server.

https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/lessons-learned-from-running-a-single-person-mastodon-instance/#hosting

This will help make the fediverse stronger, more resilient, and more diverse.

And we won't have to fight so much about which instance should federate with whom.

I'm playing with Mastodon's Context API to fetch replies to posts I'm viewing, and while it's too early for me to add this to https://github.com/stefanbohacek/mastodon-tools, the experience is so much better.

Has anyone done anything with this?

Do you keep old versions of your personal website?

Do you consider yourself a generalist or a specialist?

Generalist: one whose skills, interests, or habits are varied or unspecialized

Specialist: one who specializes in a particular occupation, practice, or field of study

Somebody please stop me, or tell me this already exists, before I go and register a domain name, but it would be pretty neat to have a coding blog that casually injects leftist ideas.

Okay, so I finally figured out how to get @trains to post videos that are not "live" streams. The account should be a lot more fun to watch with more variety.

Give it a follow!

Visualize your fediverse export data: https://fediverse-export-analyzer.stefanbohacek.dev

Currently supports Mastodon, Firefish, Friendica, and Pixelfed data exports, with more to come!

Mastodon has added a lot of new features and improvements over the last few months that people have been asking for.

What are you all looking forward to next?

In the latest addition to my series of Pipedream.com tutorials I will walk you through turning your RSS feed into a Mastodon bot.

This time, no code needed!

Hey, it's my #birthday today!

If you enjoyed any of my work, consider, as a birthday gift, making a small donation to your favorite charity (or visit the MutualAid hashtag), calling a family member just to say hi, helping a neighbor with groceries.

Make someone's day better. ✌️

Does anyone maintain a comprehensive list of state, federal, and other government agencies that run their own fediverse servers, or at least have an account here?

Between Twitter and Reddit imploding, and Meta soon launching their fediverse-compatible Project 92/Barcelona/Threads, there's a great need to make https://jointhefediverse.net available in more languages.

Would you join me and the rest of the volunteers and help out?

Interesting to compare the use of alt text based on which apps people use.

My new project, https://AltTextHallOfFame.org, is a celebration of the effort, ingenuity, and creativity that goes into making the web a friendlier and more inclusive place, one captioned image at a time.

It looks like Slack retired a bunch of Twitter integrations, and is now moving away from Twitter/X for their status updates.

Why don't you have a personal website?

I really like @xor's Python script for generating domain names from public domain books, so I turned it, with permission, into a website, to make it easier to use.

Hope you'll enjoy!

Mastodon really needs to catch up.

"Quote and reply controls appear to be bundled together in a single dropdown menu, where users can open the conversation to “Anyone,” or limit it to “Profiles you follow” or “Mentioned only.”"

So I've been called out for https://alttexthalloffame.org not being run by someone who's #blind or #VisionImpaired.

And that's fair. I'm very much open to anyone from those communities to get directly involved, so this is my public invitation.
