Last Week in the #Fediverse - ep 35

- 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

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.

Review time again! Here's a concise look at the third party app Fedilab:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/fedilab-for-android

You can use it with Mastodon accounts (including forks like Glitch), PeerTube accounts, Pixelfed accounts and many other types of Fediverse account.

It's got a really nice array of options if you dig down into the settings menus, it does a lot of things that the official apps don't do. I've tried to summarise the good stuff in the review.

Gibt es eine Erklärung, warum #Mastodon keine #Formatierungen zulässt bzw. anbietet?

@Friendica Support

Unpopular opinions:

#Mastodon’s obsession with #ElonMusk is unbecoming. It’s time we grew out from beneath his shadow, stopped defining ourselves in contrast to him & weaned ourselves off feeding on anger/contempt towards him.

I feel much the same way about #donaldtrump, who also thrives on attention—positive or negative.

We passed 20,000 followers in this week on #mastodon!

In less than a year, we've accumulated 29% of the followers we got in 9 years of regular posting on the #birdsite, and we get far, far more engagement with our content here.

Thank you.

We will continue to post regularly here because we have found it is a community that values our kind of thoughtful journalism, written by experts for the public.

If you know folks who haven't discovered us yet, we'd really appreciate a boost #Newstodon

#Mastodon 4.2.0 zmienia interfejs obserwacji zdalnej. Koniec z obowiązkową metodą Copiego-Pasta - zamiast tego wpisujesz domenę swojej instancji. Serwer podpowiada te, które zna, a samo kliknięcie na domenę przenosi cię do następnego kroku (zdj. 1).
Dalej, jak na zdj. 2, mam okienko, w którym mogę zaobserwować konto.

Mastodon 420 mają już mastodon.social i mastodon.online.
Jedyną polską instancją z tą wersją jest #101010pl

UPDATE: WE GOT PAXLOVID! Your inputs worked. Thank you!!

#LongCovid #Covid19 friends, I need urgent help:

wife tested positive for covid. It's bad. Online Doc refused to prescribe #Paxlovid citing she's <50yrs. Said LongCovid isn't real and pretty much gaslit the thing.

PCP offices are closed.

CVS w/o prescription requires labwork that we don't have handy.

The blockers in the US #healthcare are systemic.

In GA, how might we get Paxlovid? Any ideas?

❤ i like this palette and this cute artwork

looks she wears some #mastodon headset? 😀

If you're wondering why there are so few news stories about the rise of #Mastodon, it's because nobody is getting paid to game the media about it.

There's no publicists, no cozy ad deals, no suits, no coercion: Nobody is getting rich off of Mastodon

... that's also why it's so enlightening and fun to participate here

Welcome to our dystopian AI propaganda arms race. Yet the latest example of why smaller, decentralized social networks are the only real answer to this nightmare. Support #Mastodon #PeerTube #Pixelfed and others!

@alexBut…full text search takes months to figure out!

community feedback, while listening to feedback from former #Twitter users who are rejecting #Mastodon due to the lack of this feature.

Also @alex how hard is functional search to actually integrate? I couldn’t imagine it being that hard, but you’ve done it before, so I’m sure you’d know better than me.

users have been begging for this features for years, and the devs have ignored them consistently. The only reason they are acquiescing now is because former #Twitter users are begging for it. The devs seem to care more about disaffected #Twitter user feedback than the feedback of the very #Mastodon users who have helped build #Mastodon up to what it is today.

Is this type of behavior deserving of thanks?

@Friendica Support Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, vom #Friendica -Webinterface aus eine Antwort als sichtbar für "nur erwähnte Profile" zu definieren?
Das entspricht der privatesten Option bei Antworten in #Firefish bzw. bei #Mastodon (das ja keinen Chat hat).
In #Tusky #Fedilab u.a. Apps ist das beim Antworten mit Friendica-Account möglich, aber im Webinterface gelten für Antworten die Einstellungen des Ausgangspost, oder?
Gibt es da eine Möglichkeit auch im Webinterface (das ja vermutlich die meisten Friendica-User aufgrund der ansonsten erweiterten Funktionen bevorzugt nutzen), diese Option zu aktivieren?

Hintergrund der Frage ist die Föderation von Friendica mit #Flohmarkt , das auf die Optionen von Mastodon ausgerichtet ist.

#Mastodon users, I know you don't have quote-shares (boosts?) yet, but please include a link to the original toot to your "Last Boost" posts, otherwise the context vanishes once your commentary is boosted outside of your followers' circle.

I just spent 10 solid minutes scrolling back someone's timeline to find their day-old boost they didn't link to in a "Last Boost" post that was shared with me just this morning.

Thank you. 🙏
