Mastodon v4.1.0 got released today!
Some awesome additions that people have been after for a while now:
- Add support for importing/exporting server-wide domain blocks
- Ensure exact match is the first result in hashtag searches
- Add support for editing media description and focus point of already-sent posts
- Add listing of followed hashtags
And the list of fixes inbound with this version is monstrous.
This is great to see, but please keep in mind that your particular instance will need to be updated to this version so not all instances will update at the same time.
Some apps may also need to be updated in order to support these new features.

Thanks to @buercher for building it.
It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.
That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.
By far the best tool to find people to follow on #Mastodon is whomtofollow.com/

Great news: The team at #Buffer is working on developing a #Mastodon channel option! trello.com/b/PDIV7XW3/buffer-t…
Once that's available, while I'm still in transition from Twitter to Mastodon, I'm hoping to use Buffer to cross-post some of the links I share. (both on Twitter & Mastodon)

It could be you! Apply now:
You can filter any Mastodon account's public posts by hashtag using the following website address:
(mastodon profile's web address)/tagged/(hashtag without the #)
So, for example, to see all my public posts with the hashtag "Mastodon" the address would be:
mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/…
As many have pointed out in comments, you can also add .rss to the end of the address to create an RSS feed.

Elon Musk’s Biggest Success Story: Convincing People To Try Out An Open, Distributed Social Network

This is bad for 3 reasons:
1) Some people’s posts automatically delete after a certain time, & they do not authorize sites preserving past posts.
2) Some #Mastodon instances content are copyrighted, opening up a potential lawsuit
3) @boyter may lose out on future jobs or with future clients, as scraping sites without permission will hurt his reputation

Notes would be useful (though maybe overkill).

Someone publishes few pieces manually on @matrix. Not consistently, but I think they are doing steps in the direction of migrating here wholeheartedly, just not so fast. If you really want to hear from *human* human, find individual devs of #Matrix on #Mastodon and look how they are doing. 
Most notably, I found @thibaultamartin and @travisr. Follow them!

How To Install Mastodon on Ubuntu 20.04
Mastodon is a microblogging social networking application that uses a decentralized model, also termed as a federation by its creators.Tony Tran (DigitalOcean)

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.
If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinationsspacekaren.sucks

"What does Friendica wants to be"?
@Friendica Support @Friendica Developers
Let me start with a concrete, question: Are there any efforts / plans to support the upload of videos?
And now, since I might have your attention, allow me to broaden the question to:
What is your opinion regarding "what #Friendica is / should be"?
My view / vision is heading slightly in the direction that nowadays image and video content is quite central in social networks and thus a #Fediverse application like friendica should support the multimedia aspect a bit more, if it wants to be attractive for the broad public in terms of being an alternative to commercial social networks.
Most of you might tell: "Yeah, if one prefers media centric Fediverse, then check out #pixelfed ". But I think, pixelfed is yet too much of an Instagram clone, only providing the image / video focus (which bothered me at Instagram from the very beginning not being able to have good commenting / discussion options there).
In my view, Friendica has great potential becoming a great "one fits all" application for the majority of people who like social media and the concept of the Fediverse. It has way more cool functions than #mastodon / pixelfed (which are in my opinion too close copies of Instagram and Twitter, respectively) but much simpler and convenient than Hubzilla (which I think is really great, for a computer science person, but not for the broad non-technical focussed public)
Wrapping it up: I would love to see a Friendica development towards an easier multimedia support. What are your thoughts?
Cheers
Marek

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:
➡️ chirp.social
You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers
It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.
It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.
