One thing I noticed when first joining #mastodon and running an instance, is that the quality of content on open relays are just horrible.
So I decided to create a moderated / curated relay. Mostly targeted toward smaller instances that want to bootstrap to the federation but don't want all the noise.
It is still a new relay with only about 25 small instances connected, but I hope that in the future it can provide quality content.
the Relay is: relay.neovibe.app/
Mastodon používám od roku 2017, aktivně pak od doby, kdy skončil Google+. Poslední týdny nestačím zírat. Co bylo roky ospalou sociální sítí, se mění v živou platformu, na které začínám vídat lidi, …Sesivany's Blog
Is there a communication channel among the network of Mastodon server moderators? A consensus norm? The people who created the internet used email and a loose decision protocol. The shared norm that enabled their successful collaboration: "We reject: kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code," was coined by David Clark in 1992.

Mimochodem, víte co je cool drobnost, byť trochu za zenitem?
RSS. Každý účet na Mastodonu má integrovaný RSS feed - stačí za adresu profilu dát ".rss".
To znamená, že ani nemusíte mít účet na Mastodonu, a můžete mít veřejné příspěvky nějaké instituce, novin nebo konkrétního člověka jako feed třeba v Thunderbirdu nebo Outlooku.
Pro snadný odběr rychlých a krátkých informací bez nutnosti se učit a instalovat něco nového mi to přijde jako skvělá maličkost.

Interesting to see government challenges trying to get involved in a community that they don't understand. #Discord & #Mastodon are obviously very different, but wondering what "Gotchas" there might be for #government sites exploring alternative #SocialMedia accounts.
As people flock from #Twitter, there will be new things watch for.

Did you know that any #Mastodon account can be read as an RSS feed?
Examples:
Account:

Baví vás objevovat #Mastodon?
Pojďte s námi otestovat #Mobilizon - decentralizovaný systém pro vytváření událostí!
➡️ events.witter.cz ⬅️
Tak jako Mastodon je Mobilizon postavený na protokolu ActivityPub, takže s jedním účtem můžete vytvářet a účastnit se událostí napříč všemi instancemi.
Zatím sami zkoumáme co všechno umí a rádi bychom vás k tomu přizvali, registrace jsou otevřené.
Používali byste takový nástroj pro vaše události?
Chcete vědět víc?

Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?
That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!
→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←
For example, our Mastodon URL "mastodon.online/@thunderbird"
becomes
"mastodon.online/@thunderbird.r…"
What about #hashtags? YEP!
Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "mastodon.online/tags/opensourc…"
So, we just append .rss and it works!
"mastodon.online/tags/opensourc…"
REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!

NPR's "On The Media" has a segment this morning on #Mastodon which is a pretty good introduction to the #fediverse.
They talk specifically about designed non-virality on M*; and the absence of quote-tweets, how this hurts #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon.

We're heading into the weekend by announcing our intent to add #IPFS support to #Mastodon
This means that media attachments can also be collectively shared across the fediverse, just like messages already are.
Initial funding page up on @opencollective if you want to support, and we'll dig in more on this next week! opencollective.com/fission/con…
While ActivityPub federates messages and accounts, media attachments of images, audio, video, and other file attachments don't move in the same way.opencollective.com
@fdroidorg There's a fork of the official Mastodon app that adds a ton of useful features; it's called Mastodos. It's really quite nice — and is GPL3.
But they need help adding it to F-Droid.
Can anyone help them out? (Thanks in advance!)

Just to clear up some confusion about how hashtag following works on Mastodon apps:
If you follow a hashtag on Mastodon, posts from those followed tags will be visible on your home timeline on the website AND in all the apps.
So, for example, you could log in through your server's website, follow the tags you want, and then go back to using your favourite app.
If you want to follow more tags, you can currently only do that through a website or Android apps Fedilab & Subway Tooter.
Just in: A Browser Extension to redirect users to their home instance. Instead of only redirecting only on actions (follow, like, etc), user is automatically redirected to the equilevant page on their home instance.

Here's a neat #Mastodon trick I just discovered:
You can access an RSS feed of any user's posts simply by adding .rss onto the end of their profile URL — so, for instance:
You can then use that link to follow all of that person's posts in Feedly, Feedbin, or any other RSS reading service.
Heck, you can even do it directly in #Chrome, if you want!

Sice neexistuje žádná ostrá hranice frontové linie, ke střetu kultur Twitter vs #mastodon zde ale objektivně dochází. Hlavní úkol všech těch různorodých skupin, které se tu nyní potkávají, je a bude: lidsky se domluvit a budovat netoxické prostředí.

#mastodon umožňuje ověřit, že váš účet patří vám. Bez občanek, dokladů, jen musíte mít možnost na váš web vložit html značku. Nic složitého. A pokud narazíte na zádrhel i ten je popsaný v novém tipu.

Do you follow too many people?
Do you want to organise your Mastodon home timeline into several themed mini-timelines that are easier to navigate?
You can do this on Mastodon using the "Lists" feature, and here's a guide all about it:

You can use Lists on third party apps like Tusky for Android or Metatext for iPhone/iPad, or on your server's website.

Upgrade overview This release contains upgrade notes that deviate from the norm: ℹ️ Requires two-step database migration process for zero-downtime deployment ℹ️ Some migrations may take a long time...GitHub
A lot of people are moving to @Mastodon, but I also get a lot of misconceptions and questions about how it works, and about this cool giant social network that is the #Fediverse, including @pixelfed or @peertube. So, to answer all these questions, and myabe introduce you to some other parts of the Fediverse, I think it's time for a quickstart guide!

Watching instance owners needing to react to the sudden influx of users has me reminiscing about Switter early days.
In March 2018, we (Assembly Four) deployed Mastodon to a VPS with 1.5GB of RAM and launched switter.at/ in response to FOSTA/SESTA that was pushing sex workers off platforms.
Word spread like wildfire, and I had to double resources 2 hours after the announcement. And had to double it 2 hours after that. We had to scale out in the first week.

Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?Aral Balkan
The 2nd (and by far biggest) wave of new #Mastodon user additions is declining... which isn't a bad thing at all. It gives all the admins some time to relax and to take care of their servers.
And it helps all of us to engage with interesting new accounts to make sure that they'll stay here. The amount of amazing new users, scientists, journalists, creators... this was such an incredible quality-content boost for Mastodon and the #fediverse
Thank you for being part of this. You rock 🤘
