Im Dezember wird es keine Fediverse-Sprechstunde geben, da feiern wir Weihnachten, Silvester und sind mehr im realen Leben mit Menschen zusammen.

🗓️ Der nächste Termin für die Fediverse-Sprechstunde steht bereits fest: Donnerstag 23.01.2025 um 19:30 Uhr
Dazu wird es einen Beitrag zu Hubzilla von @pepecyb geben.

Weitere Details folgen.

Lang lebe Fediverse!

Für Interessierte an #LiboriSocial haben wir unter start.libori.social eine Willkommens-Seite eingerichtet, die den Start auf #Mastodon und im #Fediverse erleichtern soll.

Schaut gerne mal rein. 😁 🦚

Před pár dny jsem tu sdílel info, že botník press.coop končí a že se jeho boti stěhují na Flipboard.com.

Dneska jsem se tomu trochu věnoval a ukončil 2 boty, ale hlavně...

Na Flipboard.com aktuálně běží reálně několik stovek velmi zajímavých informačních zdrojů, počínaje ofiko @NationalGeographic a konče třeba @BBCNews.

Když si do Explore zadám Flipboard.com a nechám zobrazit všechny výsledky, je jich opravdu moooc a jsou hodně zajímavé, tak to zkuste.

Im @eulemagazin@mastodon.social #Newsletter gibt es einen #Bluesky #Guide mit einer klaren Nutzungsempfehlung.

Kein einziger der fragwürdigen Punkte wird angesprochen oder die #Fediverse - #Bluesky Bridge erwähnt.

Hm, schade ... 🤔

V rámci dnešní prokrastinace jsem dal unfollow účtům, které jsou 1) víc jak rok mrtvé a 2) nesledují mne. Udělalo mi to radost a cítím se trochu volněji

Odslednul jsem i pár mlčících Pirátů. Ti sice jistě dostanou za pár měsíců příkaz ke kampani na všech sítích a obživnou, ale o takové nucené účty nestojím. Nešel jsem na #fediverse, abych byl produktem pro cílenou kampaň.

Ve fediverse slýchám, že potřebujeme obsah, ale čím víc nad tím přemýšlím, tím víc docházím k tomu, že spíš potřebujeme interakce.

Sítí, kde většina lidí jsou pasivní konzumenti a kde většina obsahu je prázdná, protože je dělán na objem, máme dost.

Za sebe můžu říct, že si chvilku ve fediverse užiji víc, když přečtu deset postů a na část zareaguji, než když jich pasivně projedu stovku. A myslím, že v tomhle je krása fediverse, že to jde.

TLDR pomaleji skrolujte. 😁

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.

I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.

So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

Wen soll man wählen?

Es wäre schon wünschenswert, wenn sich die #Grünen in stärkerem Maße #selbstbestimmtDitgital zeigen würden, z.B. im #FediVerse.

Und wo ist eigentlich das #Bündis90 geblieben, in den Jahren?

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub

You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.

It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Here’s the server that’s been running my two #fediverse instances and #Hugo blog for the past two years.

It’s a low-power Intel NUC with a Celeron processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. The entire setup lives under my printer and cost less than $300.

Bandwidth demands are modest—just a few gigs weekly. No fancy tunneling involved either. It’s just a straightforward router setup forwarding a couple of ports, a script that updates the server’s IP with my registrar as needed, and a robust Fail2ban rule set to keep things a bit secure.

No more corporate social networks and VPSes!

oh hey there buddy!

#mastodon #fediverse #Plushtodon

Wow! I'm making #Bandwagon -- an open source, community-focused alternative to #Bandcamp that anyone can self-host.

As of this morning, there are 99 #Musicians and #Bands who have set up #Fediverse profiles on bandwagon.fm -- and half of those already indexable on search engines.

So I'm humbled by the number of people who are giving it a go. There's obviously lots of people out there looking for something new.

I promise to do my best to give y'all the tools you deserve.

Alright I'm organizing 6 weekly meetings with some very unwilling participants, so I need 6 loaf cake recipes to win them over... any recommendations? 🍰🍰🍰

Flavours so far:
- orange
- white chocolate raspberry
- pumpkin spice
- rozemary olive oil
- ???
- ???

So jetzt mal ehrlich ihr #Fedinauten da draußen, die ihr #Misskey, #Sharkey oder #Iceshrimp nutzt! Wieso nutzt ihr das, was ihr nutzt und was findet ihr besser im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Fedi-Möglichkeiten?

Bin auf der Suche nach einer weiteren Fedi-Software, die ich mir genauer anschauen möchte und muss mich zwischen den dreien entscheiden.

Gerne darf dieser Beitrag zur Entscheidungsfindung geteilt werden. 😜
#Fediverse #NichtNurMastodon

A very long shot once again on the #Fediverse and #Mastodon but I keep trying because I desperately wish that one day it'll give me better answers to niche questions than Tiktok and Google.

Calling all #Sudanese. What's your recipe for fit-fit? I received a container of it, made by a bunch of dudes from #Sudan (They know my cousin, I swear they're not just randos), and I refuse to believe that they have the best recipe. Google gives me Ethiopian recipes, which are vastly different from what I had tonight. I found one recipe that I don't really trust.

So, do you eat it raw?
Do you include lungs and livers? What about kidneys?
How much peanut butter do you add?

There's an underwhelming number of sources for sudanese recipes online, I guess for very understandable reasons, but dang, I have a feeling those guys can't really cook and I must know how their elders made it.

OK, es ist (fast) Wochenende und wieder Zeit für ein Experiment – diesmal zum Mitmachen 😉:
Welcher der beiden nachfolgenden Posts sieht für euch besser aus und auf welchen würdet ihr eher klicken.

Gerne schön weit teilen, damit das von vielen und mit den unterschiedlichsten Clients gesehen wird.

Wenn der Unterschied besonders groß ist, gerne auch mit Screenshots antworten. Danke!

There better be a way to tell Mastodon I never want to be notified of quotes. How hard is this for others to understand? I don’t want to be notified if anybody quotes me, at all! To me, quotes are seen as a passive aggressive form of interaction and if you can’t message me directly/mention me directly, I simply just don’t want to interact with you if you’re going to quote me.

With the 4.3 release complete, we’re turning our focus to 4.4, which will include:

Quote Posts: We are resuming work on this long-awaited feature, and it will be our main focus for the rest of the year.
Block list improvements: We are evaluating several improvements, including subscribing to external blocklists and offering an optional default “worst of the worst” blocklist for new Mastodon installs. We’re also exploring ways for operators to approve blocks from external lists.
Post Parsing: We’re experimenting with potentially changing to a new parser for posts, which will be more modular and enable features like basic text formatting.

From Mastodon’s latest post. #Fediverse #Mastodon

My mum wants to join the #Fediverse - as she's fed up with adverts in other social media - and I have no idea what server would be best for her.

She's in her seventies, likes gardening, outdoors, cats and dogs, travel, books..

Any suggestions?

A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.

In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:

Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.

GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.

Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.

Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.

Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.

In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!
