Zuck na Threats:

"Rozpoczynamy test, w ramach którego posty z kont Threads będą dostępne w serwisie Mastodon i innych usługach korzystających z protokołu ActivityPub. Zapewnienie interoperacyjności Threads da ludziom większy wybór sposobu interakcji i pomoże treściom dotrzeć do większej liczby osób. Podchodzę do tego dość optymistycznie.

Nie piszę tego tootka przez XMPP, bo go Zuck przetestował, rozszerzył, przejął i wyłączył...

@tutorial

Summing up tests "activating" and "deactivating" @[Mentioned people only] on #mastodon. Apparently there have been some changes.
(from v3 to v4?)

You can't add more people into already existing posts. They won't be able to display it nore get notifications.
(if that ever existed)

You can deactivate/delete mentions, the profile won't get notifications of updates but still can see or search those toots.
note:
still awaiting confirmation of behaviour on #friendica

Sneak peek at the overhauled Agora client that will support logging in with either your #Mastodon, #Nostr, or #BlueSky account and seeing posts from the other two protocols!

Super awesome to see what’s possible thanks to amazing bridges by @alex and @snarfed.org and @cheeaun for the awesome Phanpy base to build off of


Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months (if that) on Mastodon, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".

It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

Just read a phenomenal upshot that #Mastodon doesn't have enough celebrities, nor an addictive algorithm, so that's why it isn't "bigger"... It was phrased as a complaint, but I'm running with it all the way to the other goal post:

Mastodon (and the #fediverse in general) shows us what a post-egomaniac, post-mass-media world looks like.

Throw that the heck on the front of the cereal box for Mastodon, "NOW WITH LESS SOCIETAL SICKNESS! FORTIFIED WITH REAL HUMAN DISCUSSION!".

I'd buy a box! 🥣😀


@harry haller yes, you basically say that Disapora should be centralised, otherwise there is no "public stream".

Same thing goes for everything "federated" like #mastodon: small instances get zero traffic and visibility, so decentralisation equals segmentation and disarray. 🙁


Ce matin je me suis dit : pourquoi pas tester Mastodon pour communiquer nos avancés Gaming! En plus c'est en français donc franchement il faut se lancer! #mastodon #gaming #jeuxvideo


Hey, fellow #Mastodon (and #fediverse) #admins:

I am working on my book about the fedi and would like to get a sense of what it costs to run your server per month.

Anyone willing to share numbers? (Feel free to do it via DM if you don't want it public). Please let me know your instance and how much it costs.

Boosts welcome!


Strangers offering unsolicited advice or derailing conversations should be familiar to all who use social media. In our new #Mastodon for Android update, we’re testing a new feature aimed to curb these behaviours:

@heluecht @one @sascha

Bei #Pleroma sind mir neulich schon Unterschiede in der Implementation im Vergleich zu #Mastodon aufgefallen (an anderer Stelle).

Wenn #Pleroma #ActivityPub "erweitert", würde es die Kompatibilität zum Standard brechen...!?!


Veronica (@vkc) who created the popular #YouTube-Channel "Veronica Explains", now posts videos to her self-hosted #PeerTube instance!

Nice content about technology and retro tech.

You can find it here:

@veronicaexplains

Great to see that more good content begins to pop up in #PeerTube

#retro #retrocomputing #mastodon



Das ist ein reines #Mastodon Problem. #Firefish implementiert das ohnehin so, dass man bei einem langen Text nur die ersten paar Zeilen sieht.

Wer hat schon Lust alles so zu posten, dass es auf jeder Platform korrekt dargestellt wird.

Frage | Friendica: Gibt es einen Filter für Plattformen?


Ich würde so gerne mal Mastodon ausfiltern um mal wieder zumindest annähernd zu erleben wie das Fediverse vor Mastodon und all den Rotz der darüber her gekommen ist war. </ironie>

#Frage #Friendica #Filter #Plattform #Mastodon #Nostalgie #2023-11-10 @Friendica Support


Constantly hearing ”got tired of Mastodon’s technicalities, Bluesky is simple and amazing”.

How we could design Mastodon to be more simple and have less technical-feel to it? UI is one thing, but that will not cut it all. I have probably said this before, but I am starting to believe no matter what we do we can’t ”win”. The narrative might need to change. 🤷‍♂️

#SocialMedia #Bluesky #Mastodon


In the last few weeks, I have been trying to organise the #Mastodon development work, so our (very small!) resources are used efficiently. This led us to a tentative roadmap for Mastodon 4.3, with a (very optimistic) release date before Christmas.

Here are the main items ⤵️

#mastodev


@OldKid

Danke. Allerdings ist das, wenn man z.B. nur mal eben einen Videoschnipsel vom Smartphone teilen will... nun ja ... reichlich umständlich und suboptimal.

Das macht #Mastodon deutlich besser.

Also muss ich wohl vorerst doch mal noch beides nutzen 😞


Can we please have a setting in the administrator panel to set the character limit for a Mastodon instance?

The current lack of such a setting does nothing apart from create a two-tier fediverse where folks who have the time to maintain their own Mastodon fork and folks who use other ActivityPub servers can write as much as they like whereas everyone else is limited to 500 characters. We’re not kids; make the option accessible and let instance owners decide for themselves.

I've asked for help with setting up a mastodon server before and gotten nothing.

Asking AGAIN. PLEASE

Its running and I can login with the admin account but its not getting anything from the fediverse, my other 3 accounts on different servers are not connecting. Please, someone help me.

#MastoAdmin #mastodonhelp #mastodon

https://beamship.mpaq.org is getting closer.

@admin is finely starting to get something.

At long last, beamship is LIVE!!! Thank you ALL. It was a DNS resolution error, was using our internal DNS 😭 so, THAT has a problem to... Next problem is the email system.

Update (10-27)
All is working up to the email confirmations. Still not sending messages to confirm new accounts and probably notifications.


If you like to torture youself, check out what people are babbling on Bluesky in real time about Mastodon: https://firesky.tv/?filter=mastodon

Ah, okay, the app doesn't register itself...

Usually a #Mastodon app registers itself as an app on the instance and then obtain a token through a user login.

Then the question would be, does #Friendica allow to create manually an app and then an user token...

As i just set up a #Friendica instance last year for testing, i can't answer this from my mind...

Auch wenn #Mastodon keine algorithmische #Timeline hat, gibt es gute Möglichkeiten, die interessantesten/beliebtesten/besten(?) Beiträge darin leicht zu finden:

https://news.feedseer.com/ von @decius benutze ich schon eine Weile, damit sieht man zusätzlich die Posts mit den meisten #Likes (von denen meine Instanz weiß) und beliebte #Hashtags.

https://murmel.social/home von @murmel_social ist #NeuHier kann man die Ergebnisse auch per Mail und #RSS abonnieren.

Was nutzt ihr?

1. Go to their profile page
2. Click on the menu button ︙
3. Select "Hide boosts from..."

If you change your mind later, go back to their profile and select "Show boosts from..." instead.

This is just a test. Can you read it from Mastodon/Pleroma/Friendica et al?

Reposting this as a new post because apparently the old post didn’t show up at all.

Does editing blog post shows up in Friendica?

Looking for people to follow?
Use this one weird trick to find kindred folk.

See a post that speaks to you, or at least you strongly agree with? Besides boosting the post and following them, click on the post.

At the bottom it shows the number of boosts. Click on the icon and you’ll get a list of others that have boosted the post. Same with favorite icon. Ta-dah!

Only took me 11 months to figure this out.

This is on the web. Not sure if it works on them new-fangled brainy phones.

I can't help wondering if a lot of these #twitter converts to #mastodon post everything that should be in a #thread as totally separate posts (making it super hard to understand) because they've been trained by mainstream #socialMedia to think that if you post a reply instead of a top-of-thread post, it'll be suppressed so no one sees it.
