We've been getting requests on how to get popular on the #fediverse so we decided to interview some of the most popular fedizens to learn their skills so you too can be #FediFamous
Here are their answers:

"share funny memes, interact with (most) who interact with you, be gay, and you too can become a niche micro internet celebrity"
"Hate computer, post funnies, simple as"
"post cock pics. No, post ball pics"
"post memes"
"Meta, post meta."
"Hmmmm It think that by having presence.
Like certainty of your personality
Like no one can be
[REDACTED]Or no one else could be or post like
[REDACTED]People that are memorable are the people that get most follows"

"Cumposting"
And what do these all have in common? The word POST. That's right the best and ultimate way to get the most out of the fediverse is to post and post lots.

The more you post the more likely people will find you and engage with you. So goodluck and get your e-clout

Yep.

The goal of #Mastodon was, appeal to old ex #Twitter users. Success.

#Pleroma, appeal to nerds. Success.

#Soapbox, appeal to new ex #Twitter users. Success.

Of course all the software is still approaching their goals at varying speeds, but they're honestly largely complete. If you left the software alone for five years it'd all probably be fine.


Yeah that's a #Mastodon limitation

#SoapboxFE is designed to be adaptable to #Mastodon. For example, use it with a #Mastodon instance and you can see trending hashtags, trending posts, and recommend users to follow, which are all #Mastodon features, but if you use it with a #Soapbox instance, you won't be able to use or see those features


I have just been informed that https://joinmastodon.org/ has been hacked and features links that direct you to a #github. Gagron has already made an announcement on his private diaperfur Discord server.

For the time being don't install #mastodon at all! Regardless of who sends the link. Avoid any sites or guides telling you how to setup a mastodon instance.Tell your friend to avoid mastodon and look at non-compromised #fediverse alternatives. #FediTips


Please be aware of where exactly you're installing #software from many sites illegally steal and torrent code.

If a website ever leads you to a #github, #gitlab, or #gitea repository immediately close your browser and run your anti-virus.

Git is a malware that makes a copy of your files and code and lists them on these repositories without your consent!! Named and created after the infamous hacking group GitYourCode.

If you want a legitimate copy of #mastodon you can find installation instructions on the official site here: https://joinmastodon.org/
Practice safety fedizens!!

Don’t forget that you can test #Soapbox against #Mastodon and #Pleroma backends by going to https://fe.soapbox.pub/ and pointing it at your site



For my #hugo theme's social media bar I wanted to add monochrome #fediverse icons. I didn't find a good central place for them so I created one here. I'd be more than happy to add ones that I've missed but so far have #diaspora #mastodon #friendica #funkwhale #gnusocial #Hubzilla #misskey #Peertube #pixelfed #pleroma #SocialHome #foss #opensource #creativecommons https://gitlab.com/HankG/fediverse-icons


Hier auf #Mastodon / #Fediverse gibs doch sicher auch viele #Brandenburger. Ich würde mich freuen wenn es mal eine Sammlung von Bildern von ausgetrockneten Gewässern bzw. in Austrocknung befindlich, aus dem Bundesland hier gibt. Unter dem Hashtag:

#BrandenburgOhneWasser

Am besten Name des Gewässers und in etwa den nächsten Ort hinzuschreiben.

Ich fänds gut.

Remote-follow stopped working


Dear !Friendica Support ,

I normally can like/repeat comments from #Mastodon but now I get a blank page on my Friendica instance. So this is what I did:

1) I normally follow a user on Mastodon, but currently I don't see any of his posts or comments (maybe related?).
2) So my "backup" method is that I go to the comment's URL, e.g. https://social.snopyta.org/@kromonos/108483904376408153 and click "Favorite" there
3) Then I enter my id roland@f.haeder.net and normally that comment is being transferred to my instance
4) But now I get a blank page, e.g. https://f.haeder.net/follow?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsocial.snopyta.org%2Fusers%2Fkromonos%2Fstatuses%2F108483904376408153

Any quick ideas? Or should I better on an issue?


Have you been mentioned in a thread on Mastodon but you don't want to hear about it any more?

You can mute that particular conversation thread so that you don't get any more notifications about it.

On the Mastodon web interface, go to one of your posts in the conversation and click "...", then select "Mute Conversation".

(You can cancel this by doing the same thing again and picking "Unmute Conversation")

Hello !Friendica Support,

If I use the bbc element "abstract", I can simulate the content warning for Mastodon. But this only works for text. If it is a post with an image, the image is not hidden. With Mastodon the image is hidden for CW posts and marked with a NSFW warning. Is there any way I can simulate this on Friendica?

#federation #Mastodon #cw


Yo, hier auf friendica gäbs BBCode zumindest..

Aber #mastodon stellt sich da puritanisch leider.


@Tuxi (Friendica) 🐧 ✅
Das habe ich auch noch nicht gefunden und würde mich auch interessieren.
Ich glaube bei #mastodon funktioniert sowas auch nicht und man kann nur Nutzer in Listen "stecken" ähnlich wie hier Gruppieren

Connecting to instances without relay


Hello there

Yesterday i found out that you are able to add #Mastodon instances to relays (did not worked with #Friendica servers). I'm not sure though, if this actually works, or Friendica only adds it as relay and it does nothing (no messages received so far).

Question is, is there similar way to connect to Friendica instances?

I would have deployed relay to do the job, but it seems that most used Pleroma one suffers of bug that does not let me manage it.

Thanks
Roman

@Daniel slow, convoluted and cumbersome?

You realize that #mastodon servers right now absorb several new accounts per minute all over the place since this musk-twitter thing became public?

I understand why you like diaspora better than mastodon.

But then the #fediverse is bigger than just #mastodon, #diaspora, #friendica or whatever....

I strongly dislike the way you try to introduce sharp lines dividing the overall network.

For new people wondering why Mastodon is on thousands of servers instead of one:

-It helps protect us all against Elon Musk scenarios. It's very difficult for anyone to buy a network made of thousands of independently owned servers. (It's the same reason why no one owns the world's email network, because there are so many independent providers out there.)

-If your server misbehaves (or sells out to a malevolent billionaire), you can move your account to a different server, or even to a brand new server. Decentralisation means you're never trapped on a site you hate.

-Mastodon is an open platform where anyone can start their own server, and they don't need tech knowledge if they use a service like https://masto.host or https://federation.spacebear.ee

...and there are lots more good reasons too, to do with servers using alternative Fediverse software etc, but I'll save that for a future post 😁

Because I could



Mastodon has Direct Messages (DMs), there are two ways to make them happen:

-Create a normal message, set its privacy to "Direct" and then @ mention whomever you want to receive the message. If you mention more than one person it becomes a group chat. This works on all apps and versions of Mastodon.

OR

-If you're logged in through the website, or if you're using a third party app, you can click on the "..." menu on a post or a person's profile and select Direct Message. This then automatically creates a direct message just like the one in the previous method. You can also look at your previous DMs by clicking on the envelope or the "Direct Message" link in the menu.

The official apps don't currently have any specific DM features, but you can use the first method in them and it works fine.

The end result of both methods is exactly the same.

!Friendica Support Are there known issues when it comes to "star"/"reshare" visualisation while using #friendica with any of the #mastodon client apps? I learnt that though for the majority resharing or starring a message works, I never seem to see that directly in the app. Is that an API limitation or a mere bug...?



!Friendica Support
Hello,
is there a document which #mastodon API Functions are already implmented in #friendica
I don't know if this is a bug in #tusky or the api is not implemented.

If i make a bookmark in tusky i will not be in friendica. On the other hand if I mark on entry in friendica it will be shown as bookmark in tusky.


Abstimmungen bei Mastodon


!Friendica Support

Erst dachte ich, es fehlen wieder Bilder:
Screenshot: Unvollständiger Post in Friendica

Aber auf der #Mastodon - Seite sieht man, dass es eine #Abstimmung ist, welche bei #Friendica nicht angezeigt wird:

Muss das so oder haben wir eine Chance, solche Features ebenfalls angezeigt und vielleicht sogar daran teilnehmen zu können?

Mastodon und das Fediverse – Was machen sie anders als die bekannten Plattformen?



Die Logik der Nichtunterstützung bei #Mastodon erschließt sich mir überhaupt nicht. Wer #Nonmentions nutzen will, nutzt dafür auf Twitter ohnehin Screenshots. Bei Mastodon bleibt einem ja gar keine andere Wahl - das Ziel wird ja mehr als verfehlt, weil es so *erst recht* Nonmentions gibt, da Leute bei Screenshots ja nicht erwähnt werden.
Finde es daher absolut unterstützenswert, dass das bei #Friendica unterstützt wird.


Dazu auch noch mal die Beobachtung zum #Reshare: Habe heute einen Beitrag reshared von einer Friendica-Benutzerin, die selbst scheinbar einen Beitrag von #Mastodon per #QuoteShare geteilt hat.

Mein Reshare von #Friendica ist nicht in #Diaspora sichtbar.
Es ist kompliziert...


Created a script to wade through my #mastodon registered accounts, filtering various spam-domain advertisement-descripted once-posting accounts. Deleted about 70% of the accounts. Yay.
#spam


Does #SoapboxFE automatically list blocked instances somewhere like #PleromaFE and #Mastodon?


If your Mastodon admin is thinking about changing their instance colour scheme, this article might be useful to them:

Yeah it's wild. I bet the software #4chan used didn't even get vilified.

It does make sense though, the vocabulary surrounding #Mastodon insinuates each server is merely a part to a whole rather than their own separate things


Well, hardly anybody knows what #Mastodon is, and a good chunk of them don't know what #Pleroma is, and more people know what #Pleroma is than what #Soapbox is, do it actually doesn't surprise me too much. It's pretty sad tho.


Content warning: TruthSocial, Fediblock, pol adjacent


But why?

Maybe make a #Pleroma instance that only has #Mastodon as its FE so it tricks people into thinking you're a #Mastodon user? That sounds like fun.


the notifications counter on my instance sometimes looses it and it runs wild

In the past my admin has run a recounting of the notifications and that settled it but this time a single recount wasn't enough

Is this a common glitch ?
