Der Fediverse Stammtisch am 2. Februar auf der c-base in Berlin wird leider aufgrund der Witterung, dem BVG Streik und weil einige noch in Brüssel bei der FOSDEM sind

I updated the diaspora* interface translation to my native language: Spanish (Argentina). I'm still in the top 5 on the list of top translators. 😀

Instance admins: Meta and Twitch have both come out with rules about antisemitism in their latest Terms of Service that are measured but address the concerns of many Jews on the platform.

If I were take those rules and provide you language based on them that would help you implement them on your own sites, would you use it?

Just noticed the new friendica version has been released 😀. See https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases/tag/2026.01

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 !

Are there any "case studies" of whole communities moving to the fediverse, similar to the Forkiverse?

I'm thinking about writing a version of my article https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/fediverse-an-overview-for-government-agencies/ and aim it at community organizers.

On February 3rd (very soon!) I am hosting another [BERLIN FEDERATED NETWORK EXPLORATION CIRCLE] at @offline. It's a chance to meet and talk with people who are interested in the #fediverse & networking & exploration & circ---you get the idea.

We have the pleasure of having @hongminhee who will give a presentation about @fedify "an opinionated #ActivityPub framework for TypeScript that handles the protocol plumbing"

It is an open free event and everyone is welcome!

Heute war ja der erste #diday und Teil der Idee ist es ja Leute ins #Fediverse zu bekommen. Wir wissen alle, dass das Fediverse groß, unübersichtlich und einschüchternd seit kann.

Eine hervorragende Reihe von Veranstaltungen auf denen man mal "dumme Fragen" stellen kann (keine Bange, die gibt es nicht) firmieren under dem Hashtag #FediTreff - gibt es über ganz Deutschland und die Welt verteilt. Dezentrale Stammtische um über das Fediverse zu schnacken.

Morgen ist es in #Berlin wieder so weit. Da treffen wir uns jeden 1. Montag im Monat auf der @c-base e.V. ab 19 Uhr. Kommt gerne vorbei wenn ihr #NeuHier seit oder jemanden kennt der noch Fragen zum Fediverse klären will, bevor der DiDay im Social Media Bereich angegangen wird.

Here's your chance to see the fediverse platform Bonfire in action (without having to install it or create an account)

Our favorite fedi live streamer, @ozoned is going to be streaming an install and walk through soon (Jan 2 at 8 AM CST).

Add it to your calendars and #JoinIn

!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?

Hey #39C3!
Tomorrow, Day 3, 14:00, I will spontaneously be hosting a session in the @cbase Fediverse Assembly on “Lessons from a Public University: Bringing Institutions into the Fediverse” and sharing my experiences from the step-by-step approach at the University of Innsbruck, where we have a Mastodon Instance on our servers, SSO-connected, based on a general strategic approach towards open plattforms.
Happy to see a lot of Fediverse fighters!

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

[strong]Friendica | Die meisten Reaktionen via Lemmy?[/strong]

Seit ich regelmäßig Lemmy-Communitys in meinen Beiträgen erwähne (z. B. hier), habe ich je nach Community sehr viel mehr Reaktionen auf meine Beiträge, die dann aber weitgehend von Lemmy und nicht vom Rest des Fediverse kommen.

Ist Friendica mit Lemmy besser als mit dem restlichen Fediverse verbunden? Wie sind Eure Erfahrungen?

Mastodon character limit is such a weird concept and useless and pointless I can't believe is still there. People who want to say more than a paragraph need to split it into "threads"...insane!

Look:

How the fuck you get to read and interact with a post divided into tens of comments.....

This is silly as fuck people.

If you have no character limit, guess what, you can still make short posts. But not vice-versa.

It is beyond me why this is still a thing in 2025. Artificial limitations.

Man I LOVE Friendica! A proper way to make posts and interact with people. And yet not many are aware of Friendica and how awesome it is.

@Meredith Whittaker you should either move to a Mastodon instance without character limitation or try Friendca. You can even use our node https://social.trom.tf - and that's for anyone else who is bothered by this artificial limitation of Mastodon.

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub

There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.

👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

How flippin' awesome is that!?

In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.

And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

In case you missed it, the fediverse is under attack by a Pro-Russian Propaganda Network. You can learn more about it in the blog post from @iftas below.

Here are two things everyone can do to help combat this:

1. If you see an account posting or spamming Telegram links, report it. Many of the accounts are impersonating news outlets — check verification status, the account's follower count, or the outlet's website to confirm if the account is real or fake.

2. Donate to your local mods if you can, or at least give them a big virtual hug and say thanks. They've been working tirelessly around the clock to combat this and deserve our gratitude and support.

Stay safe out there, friends.

@Friendica Support

Hi there,
some questions about the behavior of friendica with respect of preserving the content of posts from other servers and other #fediVerse platforms.

There are several options in #friendica to mark posts. There is staring a post or an answer, there is interacting with it like giving a thumbs up or done (like\dislike) and answering, saving to a folder and sharing or resharing a post. Answers can't be stared but saved to a folder, shared and reshared.

What happens when a post or an answer is deleted y the owner of that post or answer?
There are posts from other instances that still are preserved over here even tho they don't exist anymore on the originating server.
What happens if answers are deleted by the owner of the answer? Also, somehow answers to answers are related and they do disappear at least when an answer is deleted locally on this server. Is the same true if an answer is deleted by the originating profile?

Also, have there been changes on the behavior on these aspects in friendica or are their discussion about changing some of those aspects?

Ein langes Wochenende steht vor der Tür... ich erwarte Weltuntergangsstimmung am Donnerstag bei den Wochenendeinkäufen und dann viele interessante Vorträge und Gespräche beim 2. Berliner Fediday auf der c-base

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:
