Friendica 2026.01 released !

Just noticed the new friendica version has been released :-). See github.com/friendica/friendica…

For u3a.social I'll be doing an upgrade on a test instance as soon as I can and then plan for the live upgrade (I'll also want to switch to native rather than docker database).

The nice thing about test upgrades is you get to test your backups !

Hello all,

A little side project to provide the fediverse with information i've been missing and have had to rely on FB/IG on to get:

Concert and festival announcements.

A ton of this information is only available on these platforms or sometimes days later through other platforms, often resulting in missing your chance to buy tickets.

None of this is automated and mostly catered towards my own region (NL) and interests for now (Indie/Punk/Metal/Hardcore).

In many ways #Friendica is a great addition to the #fediverse but the lack of a simple way to add alt-text to images is unforgivable. That it has sat on the development to-do list for years shows how low down accessibility is to developers out of the box.

Fediverse users "People on Bluesky are terrible people!"

Bluesky users "People on Mastodon are terrible people!"

(I'll tell you choose which Spiderman is which user)

(at a time when there are real bad people and real bad places on the internet, can people stop being silly a minute?)

#Fediverse #Bluesky #Mastodon #silliness

The Spiderman meme except that there are only two Spidermans... Spidermen??? One is a Bluesky user, the other one is a Fediverse user. You can choose which is which.

Please Boost!

Many are probably familiar with how unfriendly the #Fediverse / #Mastodon is to non-white cultures.

In my opinion, if you really care about wiping out Fediverse white supremacy with actions and not just empty words... you should be following ALL TurtleIsland.social moderators and admins.

Anyone self-host PeerTube?

I love YouTube, and by that I mean watching it; I would never upload there, especially now, with all of their silly censorship of things that don't even need censoring.

I feel like I need a PeerTube instance.

Hello #Fediverse,

as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.

Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.

As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky :) ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.

What do you think, anybody interested?

Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?

About Bluesky and federation:
Edit: There might be some mistakes, and my information could be outdated, but the point still stands - Bluesky wasn't built on 100% federation from the start.

I've been wondering about Bluesky's decentralization again. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to self-host Bluesky in its current form. I cannot 100% self host "my own Bluesky".

Their main selling points for building their own protocol were easier migration and better discoverability, but right now there's no simple way to migrate my Bluesky account to my own instance. And hosting the centralized parts yourself isn't really possible, or if it were, not affordable, they haven't made that feasible, by design, it seems.

Even if you self-host a PDS, Bluesky's Relay only indexes up to 10 accounts from it. You can run more, but they won't federate, the central infrastructure decides what gets seen. They control this (source: docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-f….). You can self-host a PDS (Personal Data Server), but you still depend on Bluesky's centralized Relay and AppView. There's no production-ready alternative infrastructure from what I gather.

It feels like I'd be renting a room in a hotel that someone else is running anyway, when I want my own hotel.

If Mastodon gGmbH vanishes tomorrow, my instance keeps running and federating with everyone else. If Bluesky PBC vanishes, the ecosystem would need to scramble to stand up replacement infrastructure that doesn't really exist yet.

ATProto keeps getting evaluated on its promises while other systems get evaluated on their merits. The "portability" selling point depends on infrastructure that isn't mature enough to actually catch you if Bluesky falls.

I trust W3C, the builders and fathers of the World Wide Web, ActivityPub and the Fediverse.

There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.

Let's show them the power of the Fediverse. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

Petition: Legally recognise non-binary as a gender

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.

Viele Politiker kritisieren Elon Musk und X als Plattform für Hass, Desinformation und Radikalisierung – und äußern diese Kritik ausgerechnet dort. Damit stabilisieren sie Reichweite, Relevanz und Geschäftsmodell genau jener Plattform, die sie angeblich ablehnen. Wer X nutzt, füttert den Algorithmus mit Aufmerksamkeit. Konsequente Kritik hieße: X verlassen und Kommunikation dorthin verlagern, wo Debatten nicht durch Empörung monetarisiert werden.

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist

Der Mythos der »notwendigen Opposition« auf Plattformen wie X und TikTok ist eine Illusion: Auseinandersetzungen verstärken Desinformation und fördern das Geschäftsmodell.

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

  • a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
  • a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

#dobréRáno přátelé #fediverse ☀️
Včera první jízda na Zwiftu přes Apple TV. Ať si o Applu myslí kdo chce co chce, ale propojení zařízení mají fakt zvládnuté skvěle.

První zapnutí Apple TV?
Chceš nastavit pomocí iPhonu — prostě ho přiložíš a nic dalšího neřešíš.

Pak už jen nainstalovat Zwift, přihlášení řešené přes iPhone, hesla pohodlně z Bitwardenu, žádné ťukání na dálkovém ovladači.

Apple TV jsem chtěl hlavně kvůli aplikaci Zwift pro chytrý trenažér.
Na Android TV Zwift není. Zrcadlení z Androidu do TV sice jde, ale obraz se seká nebo úplně zamrzne.
Zkoušel jsem i USB-C → HDMI kabel, jenže ten telefon vysaje hned baterku.Fairphone to ještě jakž takž zvládne — dvě hodiny dá.S Pixelem bych byl rád za hodinu.
Výsledek?
Za pět minut od zapnutí jsem seděl na kole. 🚴‍♂️

What are you looking for in social media? (1/N)

privacy.thenexus.today/what-ar…

Since you're seeing this on fedi -- or Bluesky, Blacksy, or elsewhere in the ATmosphere -- you already know the value of alternative social media that's not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's who make money by exploiting their users and working with their cronies in authoritarian governments.

But, what we have today is only the tip of the iceberg of what's possible.

I’m getting a ton of spam on Mastodon. On the Jabber/XMPP side of things, we are doing a lot behind the scenes to combat it that regular users might not even notice.

I hope the people behind the scenes of Mastodon are working on similar things.

Ich bin Fan vom Känguru und „VIEWS“ ist auch wirklich sehr gut.

Ich frage mich, ob Marc-Uwe Kling (@marcuwekling ) der Sache nicht mehr geholfen hätte, wenn er angekündigt hätte, ab morgen ausschließlich im #Fediverse zu posten.

Die meisten Nutzer folgen dem Content und nicht komplizierten moralischen Appellen.

Liebes #Fediverse,

genug von #Zoom und #MSTeams?

Zum ersten #DiDay 2026 möchte ich zum Austausch über offene #Videokonferenz-Tools einladen!

Anxiety about writing "imperfect" Alt Text can result in less Alt Text, and honestly? That’s the only way to truly fail.
Accessibility isn't mysticism. It isn't a manifesto. It’s just generosity and common sense.
Don't let the fear of being unpoetic leave us in the dark.
bad alt text > no alt text.
imperfect description > silence.

I’ve just created a new Django starter pack on FediDevs 👀

It collects non-human accounts only: Django projects, conferences, podcasts, news, and community initiatives.
No personal accounts, just things you may want to follow once and forget.

👉 fedidevs.com/s/Nzk4/

If you know other Django-related project accounts on the Fediverse, please reply and suggest them.
Happy to keep improving this together 💚

Please reboot 🙏

Aus meiner Sicht ist der #DIday von @marcuwekling eine sehr gute Gelegenheit, das #Fediverse für den Mainstream-Diskurs relevanter zu machen – und damit die Gesellschaft unabhängiger von X, Insta, TikTok etc.

Das ist aber kein Selbstläufer, sondern braucht Aktivismus. Ein sehr wichtiger Hebel sind naheliegenderweise Multiplikator:innen, z.B. Streamer oder Youtuber. Um diese fürs Fediverse zu gewinnen, könnte dedizierte Crowd-Lobby-Arbeit helfen, also z.B. Koordiniert Kommentare schreiben und hochvoten oder das Fediverse in den Commuity-Discord-Servern thematisieren.

Alleine macht das weder Sinn noch Spaß, darum habe ich mal eine Signal Gruppe gegründet. Wer mitmachen will ist herzlich willkommen.

Import Facebook content (pictures) into friendica

!Friendica Support I suggested today on Facebook that people should start using friendica (or, any #fediverse service) instead of Facebook. I was immediately asked:

"What do I do with the 17 years of pictures I have on Facebook?"

I tried to find an answer - hoping that there would be a way similar to the Instagram import feature of pixelfed, but I could not find one.

Is there a way to get all of your content from Facebook imported into friendica? Or do you know of a #fediverse service similar to friendica that has this feature?

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.

I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here 🙂 And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!

(Alternatively, you can browse my website at fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)

Není tu přeci jen někdo?
