Content warning: extended thoughts about searchability on the fediverse


An interesting write-up from @Matthew Graybosch who recently made the jump from #Mastodon to #Friendica, highlighting the features that won him over.

Once again, #RSS for the win!


Big news regarding #SpaceHost!

We've passed alpha and are now moving towards closed beta! In fact, we'll be demoing the platform to a potential customer next week -- and I'm excited!

For those unaware, #SpaceHost is the fully managed Fediverse hosting service that @reiver@mastodon.social and I are running.

Right out of the gate, we'll be hosting a wide array of Fediverse services including #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Calckey, #Pleroma -- and others!

I know that so many people have been waiting for this moment. I'm so happy that #SpaceHost is now in closed beta!

If you want to apply for closed beta access, here's where to sign-up:

edit: kinda solved, abstract tag works.

Is there a way to mark spoiler or CW in #Friendica comment, that would be portable to #Mastodon? I know, that M. for some reason treats F's post title as CW, but comments have no titles; and M apparently shows spoiler tag from BBcode by... displaying full text prefixed by unclickable and inactive text ”click here”.


Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instances are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

Before I leave for my honeymoon I wanted to share what we've been up to at #Mastodon. Here's a new Patreon update!

@Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅ @Friendica Support

Are messages to my #followers always sent as PN? Well, I have that at #mastodon somehow different in my head. But what really bothers me is the fact that all recipients are listed in the PN. Actually a noGo


@Friendica Support Hi all. I noticed that Calckey accepts my posts that go to my followers as DM and lists all my followers in the post. This is not in my interest at all. Is there any way to use the abstract function to send my posts only to #friendica and #mastodon?


#FediverseModerationstreff

Am Montag, den 15. Mai 2023, ab 20:00, findet wieder das @fediverse_moderationstreff (https://termine.social/@fediverse_moderationstreff) statt.

Das Schwerpunktthema dieses Mal sind Fallbeispiele.

Bringt gerne konkrete Fälle aus der Moderation ein, die unklar oder ungewöhnlich waren und für andere lehrreich sein könnten.

Organisiert von @w4ts0n, @ebinger und mir mit Special Guest @citizenK4te, die uns einige besondere Fall-Konstellation mitbringt.

@Igor Warneck
ach so und selbst auf #Mastodon erkennt man am Screenshot das es #Friendica ist ... dafür ist das Logo Rechts in der oberen Ecke


Wenn Du dazuschreibst auf welcher Plattform, wird es leichter mit der Hilfe. Von #Mastodon aus kann niemand erkennen, das Du #Friendica meinst ^^

I hear a lot about reconnecting with old communities after moving over to #Mastodon but less about this being a huge moment for new communities to be formed

which is to say,

RISE UP, my fellow "eating a whole handful of cheese out the bag of shredded cheese while standing in the kitchen leaning over your nachos", our time is nigh!

I appreciate that this is going to upset some people, and I thought I was too shy to say it, but I prefer #BlueSky over #Mastodon:

Here's why:

The coolest thing about #Fediverse & #Mastodon user numbers (a topic of much discussion in the tech media) is that for those of us here, if we're enjoying the interactions (I know I am) and feeling like it's a 'better place', it will continue to attract others to join in.

I dearly hope many others, especially in under-represented groups, seize the unprecedented opportunity the Fediverse represents: to create a space that meets all their needs far better than any corporation could.


I have seen people on #Mastodon refer to #EugenRochko as 'Website Boy' and also #ElonMusk as 'Rocket Boy' and whilst I'm sure some people use them terms in a belittling way, it just makes me imagine them both as rival comic book characters.
A photo of Eugen Rochko, founder of Mastodon. He's a white dude wearing spectacles and is dressed quite plainly in a coat, stood outside in a park which is surrounded by trees.
A photo of Elon Musk, the name associated with big companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and now Twitter. He stands in front of a red Tesla car with his hands in his pockets as a bunch of nerds take photos of him through the windows at the back of the scene.




You know from websites, if there is a link or an embedded element that guides you to another website, there is a note telling you that you load external stuff or you are led to another website.

I think it would be a good addon or feature, if all projects in the #fediverse #friendica #mastodon #pleroma #hubzilla #misskey would start to mark such links especially to facebook, instagram, tiktok, twitter, google and so on with a warn sign, that your data will be collected and you will be definitely tracked.

I am writing this because there is an increasing number of people posting on such networks and spamming the fediverse with links and urls teasing the contents on those networks that you only can see on those networks.

How do you think about that?


Just a reminder.

Readers for accessibility cannot parse tags that are many words all in lowercase letters. So, if you think about it, try to type out tags using uppercase letters to delineate words.

a 10 second meme I made about NPR allegedly joining #Mastodon / the #fediverse . Wouldn't an org that big make its own instance? Or at the very least, join the same instance that other large publications have been joining?
A "suspicious Fry" meme I made with the caption "me when a new account on the fediverse claims to belong to a large journalistic publication...but they made an account on @mastodon.social"

@Matthias ✔ Wird ein #Mastodon Account [abstrakt] schon sehen oder erst [abstract=apub] ?


@Matthias ✔ Guten Morgen Matthias. Vielen Dank für den Link. Die #Abstrakt Funktion arbeitet dann aber nur #friendica bezogen und andere Dienste wie z.B. #mastodon sehen das trotzdem roh ?


Do you feel like you can influence the direction of the fediverse?

Either through direct contribution as a developer, providing feedback, making feature requests, etc.
