The free open source livestreaming platform OwnCast has set up a demo server at:

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.

Hello !Friendica Support why is this post "unlisted" on #Friendica, but "visible to everyone" on #Pixelfed, where I composed it from?

nope it doesn’t work

It’d be nice if any post with a link to a #Fediverse post could become a quotepost

cc @alex Is this something you’d consider adding? If so I can make a #Gitlab issue for it


Infected by the Fediverse Virus: How to connect all in Friendica?


Hi, I just gave up on connecting #Twitter because of their #ToC (I'm not planning anything exotic, but some of my activities seem to be incompatible with their politics; o.k., let's forget about the few hundred followers... maybe I just inform them where they can find me now..).

BUT: How can I integrate elegantly different #Fediverse accounts to my main (own) server? Currently, I use my own Friendica server (admin, mexico-pensante.net) a Friendica account at nerdica.net (thanks for hosting @Ingo Jürgensmann !!!), and a mastodon.social account.

Ideally, I want to use them all (and also future ones, maybe #PeerTube, #Pixelfed) from my main Friendica account, to avoid logging on/off, switching to different webpages, etc. Is there a solution already?

💬 KRITIK - #Fediverse geht anders!

Das Fediverse ist KEINE Einbahnstraße der Kommunikation. #Fedizens sind am Austausch und Dialog interessiert und NICHT an Monologen und Verkündungen.

Help my mum get something out of the #fediverse


My mum uses Facebook currently because there's a few groups on it that she likes.

I'm no longer on it, and she's joined the #fediverse (on my instance) but I'm struggling to find replacement groups.

So, does anyone know any good #fedi #groups/instances focused on #gardening, #mushroom / #fungi identification, #wildlife in general, wildlife in the UK, etc.?

Please don't @ her (she doesn't yet fully understand how this stuff works, and isn't looking for people to contact her out of the blue). Hence why I'm looking for groups or instances that I can point her at the local timelines of. Then she can control her own interactions with them.

She's fluent in #German and #English.

But please do @ me with any info.

Boosts appreciated.


Hey #Fediverse, I need to create a slide deck for a talk, and I would love not having to do this in an office suite.

Any good #Markdown based slides generators you can recommend?

Hallo !Friendica Support
Kann man ein nativ betriebene Instanz in einen Docker basierte umziehen? Mit all den Einstellungen und Konfigurationen.

Die Datenbank sollte ja ohne Probleme gehen, aber wie ist das mit den Webdaten (also die Daten welcher der Webserver ausliefert) ? 🤔

#fediverse #friendica #docker #umziehen


Somebody reported me to myself, y’all. How’s your day going? 😀

Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.

(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

#censorship #moderation #fediverse #embarrassing #israel #palestine #russia
Screenshot of the report showing my account header. Screenshot of the report showing the reported content (my post comparing Israel to Russia for murdering innocent journalists.)
Screenshot of the report showing that it was reported by mastodon.lol Screenshot of the report showing me resolving it with the note “I approve this message.”


so on GNU Social we could post to a group by tagging it in a post like !mud@2mb.social is there anything else on the #fediverse like that? hash tags aren’t the same as groups that you have to be invited to or choose to join


@Tobias Hmmm, ok. Is there a particular way to filter this out then? And, most notably: Would it be "good" to somehow synchronize this with the friendica "direct message" view? Within the #fediverse, these two things feel somehow redundant or conflicting in the way they are done....?


Der ganze Hype um Mastodon gibt mir irgendwie wieder Lust, mal zurück zu den Quellen zu gehen. #GnuSocial bekam später auch ActivityPub Support.
Also meine Frage da draussen: Nutzt jemand diese Plattform noch im #Fediverse ?
#NichtNurMastodon


@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.


This may be a stupid #newbie question, but why are all the #fediverse servers I've seen all on these newfangled domains like rootintootin.social and yepthisismy.identity and none seem to be on anything old school like thisistotallynotevil.com?

Is it just a thing, or is there a secret fediverse blacklist committee out there?

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.

Did you know there are centralized alternatives to the #Fediverse?

They are great!
Instead of being developed by volunteers for the community they are developed for millionaires with the sole purpose of getting them more money and influence over the "users".

They contain ads and algorithms, so you don't have to decide, what you want to see, but you get to see what makes you addicted, so you view more ads, buy more stuff and thereby support the capitalist system that we all love.

Instead of anonymity you get to enter your phone number and other form of identification, which totally helps against hate speech, right?

I could go on with advantages, but I think it's best you check them out for yourselves.


Wollen wir Werbung zulassen?
Liebe Admins im #Fediverse. Mit den neuen Accounts, die von Twitter rüber kommen, steigt die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass auch Werbe-Accounts eröffnet werden (und offenbar schon verwendet werden). Bevor Werbung zum allgemeinen Grundrauschen hier bei "uns" wird, doch noch die Fragen, ob "wir" das wirklich wollen? Gibt es in eueren Instanzen-Regeln darüber was zu lesen?

2h nachdem ich einen Teil der strategischen Popcorn Reserven aus dem Schrank geholt hatte kamen die ersten neuen Menschen in meinem Stream vorbei. Willkommen im #Fediverse

One Question about the account cache in the fediverse.
How long will an account be in the fediverse available if someone will deactivate the domain, so it is no longer available in all DNS Server around the world.

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



!Friendica Support Is there any way (plugin, feed, ...?) to cross-post / reshare images from Flickr to the #fediverse, maybe similar to how this happens with Twitter? Still like Flickr as an image hosting environment but its inability to connect to anything is a bit annoying.

LVL004: Friendica - A Review


This is my review of the Friendica social network, and a follow-up to a previous video I did about the Fediverse. Friendica is my new favourite way to interact with social media, and in this video, I explain why.

As always, my current social media contacts are always on my web site.

For more information about Friendica, see their website.

For more information on the Fediverse in general, this site gives a nice overview.
