Al #fediverso se le llama así por su estructura, "#Fedi" por ser descentralizado (#descentralizacion) con la idea de formar parte de una misma red (una #federacion, #abierta porque de ahi viene #federar, que se puede hacer o no, eliges con quien hacerlo) y "#Diverso" porque la red se conforma de diferentes redes, cada red funciona mediante servidores con software (implementaciones de software / mismas #plataformas o #diferentes, etc.#diversidad) que se puede conectar con otros servidores con software que usan (hablan) el mismo protocolo, hay servidores que tienen implementaciones de software que hablan diferentes #protocolos, es decir, forman parte de diferentes redes (la red se puede definir por dos o más tipos, principalmente es por su protocolo o por la implementación de software que usa los servidores, un ejemplo de un tipo es la red de #activitypub o la red de #ostatus y un ejemplo de otro tipo es la red de #mastodon o la red de #friendica).
Así que al pertenecer a la #red del #fediverse puedes escoger a que #redes del #fediverso pertenecer, por medio del #protocolo y el #software que usarás (o elijas usar) según también en el #servidor (#instancia , #nodo) en el que escojas registrar una #cuenta (administrado por alguien, #publico o tuyo propio). También tienes la posibilidad de preferir entre las #opciones que hay, como ver el espacio donde interactuarás, por medio de que #plataforma decidas usar, también por la #interfaz (#interfaces) que te guste más y la #app (#apps y por el sistema operativo #web#apk#pwa#linux#gnulinux#ios#windows) que te venga mejor. Mucha #libertad de uso, por eso al Fediverso se le suele llamar la red de redes, ya que es una analogía a #internet pero para la comunicación social.
¿Quieres registrarte una cuenta o saber más? En estos enlaces puedes encontrar #servidores#instancias#nodos (todos los días hay nuevos, que se mantienen y otros que desaparecen, así que hay muchos le veas por donde le veas), #protocolos, #software (implementaciones de software, plataformas,etc.) del Fediverso, información, etc.:

[Mastodon] Use ActivityPub outbox for Mastodon (et al.) feed by austinhuang0131 · Pull Request #2756 · RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge
Closes #2754. In theory this supports all ActivityPub-compatible software1. This may warrant renaming the bridge (not included in PR). Example: https://rssbridge.bus-hit.me/?action=display&bridge=M...GitHub
On Mastodon, you can mute a conversation so that you don't receive notifications about it. (It only mutes that conversation, it doesn't mute any accounts.)
To do this, go to the conversation thread, find one of your own posts and click on the "...", then select "Mute conversation".
#MastoTips #Mastodon #FediTips

Covers most (all?) Android apps, web interfaces, and TUI/CLIs that I know about.
(I know that not everyone can describe things, and that's ok! This page is here to help people who want to but don't know how, or want some tips.)
Deep links should work, e.g. for @Tusky

Remember that no on here is collecting your data, building a profile of you, algorithms trying to keep your attention to sell ads, and you are not a product.
In a way the more time you spend looking for people to communicate with, replying to toots, and boosting toots will connect you with more people.
Also remember use a couple hashtags once in a while for things you're interested and excited about.
#FediTips #Introduction
We all make up the fediverse. There is no one software, instance or developer. We all contribute to this community 🌐. Tag your own tips with #FediTips and we'll help spread the word.

1. Log in through your server's website, go to Edit Profile > Require follow requests, save changes. This means only people you approve can follow you.
2. Set your posts' privacy to "Followers only" when you post them (the setting with the lock 🔒 logo). You can make "followers only" default by going to Preferences > Other > Posting Privacy > Followers only.
However, only do this if you are okay with greatly restricting your audience by default. These settings will completely prevent non-followers seeing your new posts (unless you manually select a more public privacy setting when you write them).
Non-followers will not be able to search for followers-only posts, or see them in shares.
Also, bear in mind this privacy setting only applies to your new posts. If you've already posted something as public, that old post will remain public.

Screenreader software used by blind or partially-sighted people interprets capital letters as the beginning of a word.
This means that a phrase written as "FiNe PEopLe oN BoTh siDeS" will sound like gibberish.
If accessibility matters to you, try to avoid doing this.

Here's how to do it:
1. Go to your WordPress dashboard's Plugins section, click "add new" and search for "ActivityPub" . Click "install now" on the plugin, and when it has finished installing, click "activate".
2. On the WordPress dashboard, go to the "Users" section. Click on your username and scroll to the bottom to find your Fediverse address. Share this address with whoever wants to follow your blog on Mastodon etc.
3. To alter the plugin's settings, on your WordPress dashboard go to Settings > ActivityPub
If you want to switch off or remove the plugin, go to "plugins", then "deactivate" or "delete".
NOTE: This plugin only works with independently hosted WordPress sites. It doesn't work with free accounts on WordPress.com.

There's no algorithm deciding what people see in their main Fediverse timeline, so they just see whatever happens to be there when they are online.

https://watch.owncast.online
It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.
If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.
OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.
#FediTips #Fediverse #OwnCast #FOSS #Libre #LiveStreaming #Twitch #Alternatives
You can find out more about @owncast at https://owncast.online, and they have a directory of streamers at https://directory.owncast.online
If you follow an OwnCast account from Mastodon, you will see a post from them in your timeline telling you when the account has gone live.
Also, if you follow an OwnCast account or boost its posts, this will appear in the livestream's chat window (see the attached picture).
Some OwnCast accounts you can try following right now include:
@live (soulful house music shows)
@hatnix (Linux gaming streams)
@Hamish - (retro gaming streams)
(Note that some OwnCast accounts do not have Fediverse switched on yet, so they won't be visible on Mastodon etc)

If so, it's important to use hashtags. Hashtag searches are the main way people find posts on the Fediverse. If a post doesn't have hashtags, people probably won't see it in search results.
Don't worry about using too many tags! As long as they are relevant, it is fine to have lots of tags. Many put a long list of them at the end of the post.
Also, if you are using tags, it's important to set the post's visibility to "Public" so that the post appears in search results.
On Mastodon you can set a post's visibility by clicking the visibility icon at the bottom of the post when you're writing it (the icon looks like a globe 🌐 , lock 🔒 or @ sign).
You can set your default post visibility by logging in through the website and going to Preferences > Other > Posting Privacy, select the default you want and click "Save Changes".

You can follow any Mastodon account via RSS by just adding ".rss" to the end of the account's public profile URL.
To find a user's public profile URL, click on their profile image within Mastodon.
For example, if you click on FediTips' profile image you get this page in a new tab:
https://mstdn.social/@feditips
So, to follow FediTips through RSS, use this address:
https://mstdn.social/@feditips.rss
This will only show that account's public posts. Other posts will not be visible on the RSS feed.

There are companies that provide Managed Hosting, where you pay a monthly fee and they do all the technical stuff including hosting, installation and updates.
You own and run the server, they do the tech stuff behind the scenes.
The best managed hosting companies for Mastodon are probably https://masto.host and https://federation.spacebear.ee
It's not just Mastodon either, there are lots of Fediverse platforms and other online services available through managed hosting. Try visiting https://growyourown.services for more options (or follow them at @homegrown).

You can keep your followers when you change servers, here's how to do it: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107939441820299376
You can find reliable servers at https://joinmastodon.org/communities (all the servers listed there agree to the covenant at https://joinmastodon.org/covenant). Try to pick one with fewer people.
There are lots of good things about smaller servers:
-Better moderation, because there are more staff per member.
-Smaller servers tend to have more personality, with a village feel.
-The local timeline on smaller servers is much more readable.
-Smaller servers protect the Fediverse as a whole from being taken over, because lots of smaller servers are harder to buy than a few big servers.
-It's easier to make a difference on smaller servers. It's easier to discuss things with the admin and other members.

If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another. Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you. 1.Mastodon 🐘
It doesn't really work, it causes you to treat one side as the "real" one and the other as a backup.
But whatever you do, please don't crosspost retweets. I think I'm just gonna start unfollowing people if I see "RT foo@twitter.com"
To see the public version of a profile, click on the profile picture. This will open the public version of the profile in a new tab.
To see the public version of a post, click on the datestamp below the post. This will open the public version of the post in a new tab.
These "public pages" are handy for sharing with friends, because they don't require logging in to see them.
Public pages are also very useful for something else:
If you paste the URL address of a public page into the search box on Mastodon, and then search for it, the post or profile will appear within your server. This is handy if you cannot find a post or person by searching, but you know they exist on another server.
Searching for a URL like this forces your server to "notice" the profile or post.
It also works with URLs from PeerTube, PixelFed etc.

fediverse software is mostly open source, meaning you can pop the hood and break things to your liking. mastodon has many forks with interesting features, such as hometown, glitch-soc, and fedibird. there are also other instance implementations including pleroma and misskey. if you know a thing or two about software, play around and see what you like. this is still a very malleable space and your efforts can have a big impact!
say goodbye to celebrity, except for @TommyWiseau . no one here is famous enough that you have heard of them unless you are a nerd. you cannot bully the government on fedi, unless it is @Nicolas_Maduro . those cringe takes you want so bad to dunk on? forget them. they are meaningless. mute, block, report, move on. use #fediblock to report bad behavior widely
say goodbye to using targeted ads as a form of tarot. i know that discussing what computers think of you has become a common icebreaker, so this may be a difficult adjustment. instead, try sharing what you think of computers!
NO: the algorithm thinks i’m a chaser with hormonal acne ha ha
