Do you prefer to browse the fediverse on a computer or a mobile device?

(Feel free to share your favorite apps in the comments!)

When the MTA announced discontinuing their live subway alerts due to Twitter's new excessive pricing policy, I took it as an opportunity to set up @mtaupdates.

And here's how I made it.

It's disappointing that people will move on as if nothing happened.

The lesson here should be: we can't trust a platform where one person makes major decisions.

It's my #NameDay today!

Is this something you celebrate yourself?

Did anyone manage to figure out how this works?

Seems like there are some variables that ActivityPub servers search and replace?

Someone in the comments mentioned being able to do "something similar with images", but I couldn't find more details .

I just added notes on Hubzilla to https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-fediverse-apps-for-everyone/.

Huge thanks to @jupiter_rowland for providing some points!

Anything else I'm missing here, particularly:

• OAuth scopes
• sharing via URL
• embedding posts
• RSS feeds

Do you translate the word "fediverse" in your language?

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

High five to everyone who adds image descriptions to the images they share online! ✋

Some people argue that we shouldn't define the fediverse in terms of which protocols the different platforms use, or whether they support ActivityPub specifically.

Fair enough. How about, can the fediverse have ads?

EDIT: As @BeAware helpfully explains here, this would only affect admins who limit an instance, not outright defederate from it.

I'm collecting #polls about #mastodon and the #fediverse. Some findings include:

• people really care about image descriptions (and that's awesome!)
• most of us are in the fediverse, some are on it
• you might want to be careful with boosting your own posts

If a website has an RSS feed, email newsletter, and a social media account (in the fediverse, of course), and they all post the same exact content, for the sake of an argument, do you typically prefer:

Happy Friday!

Still looking for more examples of coding/tech tutorials like these:

Is the problem folks have with quotes/quote-boosts that the person quoted gets a notification?

Or that the quoted post gets visually formatted as a post. Or both?

I see these as two separate features, and I'd be personally fine with just the preview without a notification, which is what some apps do, I believe.

Since I created https://jointhefediverse.net one year ago, it has been translated by volunteers to 15 languages.

Huge thanks to everyone who's been involved with this project!

In solidarity with the blind and vision-impaired community, I propose that twice a year, on the World Sight Day and the Global Accessibility Awareness Day, fediverse admins disable images on their servers to highlight the importance of writing good image descriptions.

Who's in?
