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.
[EN]Starting a test where posts from #Threads accounts will be available on #Mastodon and other services that use the #ActivityPub protocol. Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people. I'm pretty optimistic about this."
Nie piszę tego tootka przez XMPP, bo go Zuck przetestował, rozszerzył, przejął i wyłączył...
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.

Na kanale @fruktozaur na #Tube #PolSocial znajdziecie fajny materiał, jak postawić sobie własnego #Invidious oraz co to w ogóle jest i jak to wykorzystać, by się odciąć od "złego" YouTube:
https://tube.pol.social/w/6CTvPNGjAmG7Gdemwzihrp
Tutaj można zasubskrybować ten kanał w #Fedi, bo #PeerTube działa w federacji więc i z #Mastodon: @fruktozaur_main
A jeśli chcecie jedynie korzystać z istniejącego Invidious, to jest wiele instancji, w tym https://yt.elonego.com, w której jakoś maczam palce 😉
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. 🙁
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:

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.

I'm Veronica! I love Linux, old computer hardware, and explaining things. Some folks call me the Linux Mom, and that works for me.TinkerBetter
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. 🤷♂️
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.

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.

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...
Regarding the #Mastodon #Client #API, a good start is here:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/intro/
Regarding #Friendica #APIs, maybe this helps:
https://friendi.ca/resources/mobile-clients/
And then it would be up to your specific app... 😉

W związku z tym, że miesięczne opłaty za moją prywatną, jednoosobową instancję #Mastodon dobiły do jakiejś absurdalnej kwoty, podjąłem drastyczne kroki…

If you follow someone who boosts way too often, and you want to see their posts but not their boosts, you can do this:
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?

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'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as #Mastodon is in fact the #Fediverse. You see, Mastodon is just one of many possible software projects that interact with the wider Fediverse through a protocol called #ActivityPub. There are many other projects you can use, Mastodon isn't the only one, nor was it the first. Pretending it is either of those things is doing a huge disservice to all the people who made the Fediverse what it is. Originally, the protocol in use was OStatus and GNU Social was one of the first convenient instances - Mastodon came much later and ended up doing a huge disservice to the Fediverse by intentionally removing support for OStatus abruptly even though the warriors of GNU noted ActivityPub would be implemented within 3-4 months. Thus, the warriors of GNU were not amused by the intentional segregation of the network and the GNU+Jihad on the Fediverse was born - the warriors are interjecting to this day, despite how many people call it "Mastodon" by mistake.

Last Week in the #Fediverse - ep 35
Main news of the week:
- Swiss government starts their own #Mastodon server
- The SWICG has talks about restructuring
- Doubts about the moderation tools and governance of Lemmy
- The #activitypub plugin for #wordpress is officially released
Read at https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-episode-35/
I just realised that #mastodon "full text search" is crap. I cannot find anything at all, search only my own stuff instead of "full".
It is always interesting to see the strong duality of this software: fighting to be open and fighting to be closed and secretive and obfuscated, all the same time.
Very schizophrenic.
