!Friendica Support For moving from #Mastodon to #Friendica : In Mastodon it's possible to export not just followers but also blocked users. Is there any way to import that to Friendica in an automated procedere?

It's delightful to work towards a #mastodon #coop for #Canada with @evan and other lovely folks. Thoughts so far:

The #Twitter #migration creates a sense of urgency. But that rush is at odds with creating safety, a broad leadership team, real accountability structures...all the things that might actually make for a healthy community.

We've seen plenty of fast-start sites. It's hard but powerful to slow down & create conditions for lasting success & inclusion.

I've recently discovered Mastodos, a fork of the official Android #Mastodon, which adds features like the federated timeline, unlisted tooting, bookmarks, and more!

We are launching a new Mastodon server at https://corp.social: A home for businesses and brands that are often not welcome on other servers. There is a gap in the market for small businesses that don't want to host their own server but still want to interact with their audience on Mastodon.

We strive to be respectful of other members of the network so we also have strict rules against unwanted ads and spam.

I'm really enjoying getting into #mastodon shortcuts! They feel sensible and fast, try it out! Escape to defocus post window and then ? to view the list 💻

I appreciate these wellness preferences in my #mastodon client, Tusky. These numbers can turn fun into "work", a sort of perpetual performance review 😅

This is why I have mixed feelings about #Mastodon going mainstream, data scrapers are a much bigger threat for us now. Just because I decided to make a post public doesn't mean it can be scraped, archived, and stored in an entirely separate database. This is a form of #SurveillanceCapitalism and us #Fediverse folks hate it with a passion.

I really like the new #Mastodon feature to follow tags. This brings topics I care about directly to my timeline. 🚀 Only drawback, this probably doesn't work that well on small or even single-user instances.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

I'm about to leave Mastodon for a few months. Not because I had a bad time, or couldn't find interesting people, or don't think the concept of a fediverse is dumb. On the contrary, I think it's great.

I just have other stuff to do. But before I go, I want to share some thoughts as an ex-Twitter designer and someone who's been on Mastodon since 2018.

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.
The plot shows the graph of the number of new users in the Mastodon platform as a function of the date for the last months. It can be seen that until Musk's purchase was completed, the daily new users were about one thousand. It jumped to twenty-five thousand during the first migration to Mastodon, just after the Musk's purchase of Twitter was completed on October 27. A second jump to 100k new users per day happened in the second wave, just after the massive layoffs in Twitter on Nov 4th. Finally the third jump to almost 150k per day happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum on Nov 17th.

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.

For the first time (that I noticed) on the channel, #Mastodon brought a video more views than Twitter. And no, it wasn’t the video about the fediverse, it was the latest #Linux news video.

Both are really small compared to what Google search brings, but still, it’s kinda cool. And my Twitter following is way bigger, so it’s doubly cool.

Has anyone written about #Mastodon access in countries which sometimes block access to social media (e.g. Egypt, Russia, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, etc)?

It seems to me there's power in the distributed network - making it all but impossible for a government to IP block the entire #Fediverse.

That's an enormous advantage.

Your instance was upgraded to #Mastodon 4?
Great, let's you introduce "follow tags" feature with #Fedilab.

Please, read descriptions in media.
In main menu, we added an item "Followed tags" that allows to quickly manage them. In a timeline tag, you will see two icons. One to follow the tag and another one to pin the timeline (+). Icons are only displayed if the action is possible (ie: you don't already follow or pin the timeline).
You will see the list of followed tags. Clicking on an item will display the timeline for that tag and at the top right you will be able to unfollow them.

We are extremely proud of the work accomplished at #W3C in the Social Web group, culminating in 2018 in the release of the #ActivityPub standard, a notable implementation of which is... #mastodon !
We are also humbled and inspired by the energy that we are seeing on the Fediverse, the good will, how constructive and helpful discourse embodies truly social interactions.

Huh, cool. My toot made it on #TechCrunch 💪

Unfortunately they got the "Image Credits" wrong haha :flan_laugh:

Somehow this gives me a feeling they don't get it really :thinktink: I mean it's in the screenshot even lol

Anyone from TechCrunch on #Mastodon by any chance?
Some servers are having fun with the idea of verification in a less-than-official fashion. For example, the mstdn.social server lets you add blue-and-white checkmarks and other emoji to your display name if you’d like, which make you look verified, even though these don’t mean anything. (Sort of like Twitter’s new verification system! But for free!)

!Friendica Support Weird as it is, now with Mastodon 4 supporting things such as editing posts and subscribing to tags, the corresponding features find their way into Mastodon client apps (most prominently #fedilab which in 3.7.0 supports at least hashtag subscriptions) too. Are there any plans to make #Friendica Mastodon API client implementation aware of / able to work with that...? Worth writing issues for that right now?
(Talking open standards and #fediverse and all, it really would be great to see a platform-independent portable client API here too; at the moment it seems whenever #Mastodon releases new features and the clients follow up, it causes confusion or "breakages" elsewhere...)

As the media focuses on fedi and #Mastodon, I would like to point #journalists covering it to an important piece — not on fedi nor social media, but on communities and how harmful rock-star culture is:
https://hypatia.ca/2016/06/21/no-more-rock-stars/

I think Eugen deserves a lot of credit for helping create this space. And I honestly think he's a great guy, and doing his best.

But it would be way healthier to focus on the community, instead of on a specific person.

Let's leave the cult of personality on :birdsite:.

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:

https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/#UsingListsOnMastodon

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

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 https://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.
