Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?
In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:
1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"
You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".
They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂
Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.
Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support
Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

🎉 Die heutige Fediverse-Sprechstunde ist zu Ende.
Ein herzliches Dankeschön geht an Tobias tobias@social.diekershoff.de für seine Ausführungen zu #Friendica ! Wir hatten eine spannende Runde mit vielseitigen Themen, die sowohl für #neuhier als auch für fortgeschrittene Nutzer interessant waren. Im Fokus standen heute Anwendungen im #Fediverse, insbesondere zu Friendica. Mein Dank gilt auch allen Teilnehmenden der Sprechstunde, die sich aktiv eingebracht und so erneut zu einer gelungenen Veranstaltung beigetragen haben.
Diesmal haben wir den Vortrag von Tobias aufgezeichnet. Der Link kommt morgen.
🗓️ Der nächste Termin steht bereits fest: Donnerstag 27.03.2025 um 19:30 Uhr

#diasporaPoll about polling.
#poll feature test, related to a #friendica post about vote by name polling.
If I get this right, D*'s poll feature can have a max of four questions and multiple choice is not available.
Also notable, in comparison with #mastodon poll's, there is no time limit for the poll.
As mastodon allows editing post's, the poll count is reset if the post text is edited, but not the time span of the poll.
Time span is from 5 minutes up to 7 seven days.

Hi there @utopiarte,
I'm observing this #poll question on the #friendica @helpers #group from over here on a #mastodon instance and can't like, only fav, yet actually I'd like to be against this proposal as it is very dangerous!
I wouldn't put my name on the line in this internet for poll's by name vote, #democracy or even post an opinion.
That's way to dangerous in the actually #zeitGeist of #neoLiberalFascist's having the thumb on LLM's to hunt us down.

When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».
The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.
B for the effort, but please editors do better!
‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media
As major platforms face mounting scrutiny over content moderation and user privacy, a developer's vision for ethical social media draws supportEsat Dedezade (Forbes)
Are there any #OpenSource services that would allow me to cross-post on the #Fediverse and on #Bluesky without creating a dummy account (as #Bridgy does)?
Ideally, I’m thinking about a client that supports both the #MastodonAPI and the #BlueskyAPI.
Wow! The #fediverse compatible and #selfhosted #podcasting platform #castopod has it's own index which will allow you to follow/comment/be alerted to new episodes from right here😀

Anyone used #Friendica? My wife @redbunhead.bsky.social discovered it when I told her about #Pixelfed.
I left #Facebook ~8yr ago & then #twitter for #mastodon. She’s on #FB & #Instagram & is exploring #BlueSky. We both just joined #Substack.
We’re looking for good decentralized social networks that aren’t owned by billionaires. I miss the FB feel sometimes, so any info on Friendica is appreciated.
Wife would also appreciate tips on choosing a Pixelfed server.
Since I am being asked these days about this and see others wondering, we can setup instances of Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Peertube and a lot more for a cost, in order to support our trade-free projects and instances.
We do it via WebApe.site - prices range from 30 Euros a month. We do everything: set up any instance, update, and all that. No need to worry about any of it.

Wer von den #neuhier, aber auch gerne mal die #althier über den Tellerrand von #Mastodon blicken möchte, kann sich gerne die Artikelserie über das #Fediverse von @GNU/Linux.ch ansehen. Dort erfährt man wirklich einiges über das Fediverse und deren vielfältigen Möglichkeiten. Eine wirklich sehr gelungene Möglichkeit, den eigenen Horizont zu erweitern.

I'm super excited that Osa Atoe @potterybyosa just joined #Mastodon !!!!!
She's a well known and super talented #artist, teacher, activist and leader in the USA (and international) #pottery and #craft circles.
Having someone like her on Mastodon is a big deal.
She just joined and doesn't have many followers (yet), but hopefully you will give her a follow and boost her profile so that she feels welcome on this platform.

Welcome to Mastodon, Osa!!!
#meanWhile ..
.. the #mastodon community wastes it's time trying to pimp up the stars of it's #APP in #googlePlay, the #robotsTxt of it's instances disallows exactly one #AI bot scrapper to not search for all public data available about the #fediVerse. Not only on it's mother ship but on all instances, so the elonGated can create his target lists of "the enemy inside".
.. good job, well done! ..

What I'd like to see in the Fediverse or Mastodon built-in is an user controlled feed like FediAlgo. Chronological feed is nice, but I find myself using the Explore feature a lot and wanting more.

Mastodon.social alt text analysis report! 🧐
Me and my friend Cristal just published a report on image description usage on mastodon.social, as a group project for the Introduction to Data Science course of the Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Societies Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome 💕
A huge thanks to @stefan for publishing the dataset on which we based our analysis!
NOTE: We are absolutely aware that the report has very little actual relevance, as the dataset contains a super limited amount of posts from one instance only. It was mainly an experimentation to test our data analysis skills.
