Mastodon, get ready: funk kommt ins Fediverse! 🎉

@mervelous und @remrow haben auf der #RP26 die News gedroppt, dass ab Juni frischer, junger Content aus dem funk-Netzwerk hierher kommt.

Freu mich drauf! 🙂 Ein weiterer Schritt, um die Attraktivität der unabhängigen Plattformen durch tollen Content zu erhöhen und so weitere Menschen auf die Plattform zu führen.

@republica #Mastodon #neuhier #funk #Fediverse #republica #ÖRR

Auf einem Chart bei der re:publica 2026 zum Thema Fediverse steht: "Open Feed: funk goes Fediverse (&Bluesky)"



Titel erscheinen als Content Warning (CW) in Mastodon


Hallo zusammen,
ich hab festgestellt dass RSS-Feeds die ich über Friendica abonniert hab (z.B. RND) in Mastodon-Apps immer eingeklappt angezeigt werden. Der Artikel-Titel landet offenbar als Content Warning.

Das gleiche passiert auch bei meinen eigenen Posts wenn ich einen Titel vergebe.

Im Mastodon Netzwerk: Alles okay
Im 2. Mastodon-Konto Friendica: Posts mit Titel sind alle eingeklappt

Ist das bekannt? Gibt es da was geplantes oder einen Workaround?
Danke!

Um fork do Mastodon-Glitch chamado Chuckya que tem reações com emojis!

https://github.com/TheEssem/mastodon

Copia de tela de um toot mostrando reações ao post com diversos emojis, não somente os que são o padrão do Mastodon (botão de curtir, salvar ou compartilhar). Ali aparecem emojis de corações em diversas cores, animaizinhos, carinhas etc.

Fedigroups?

I apologize if this is a boring old question. I followed a batch of fedigroups. They do not show up as groups in the Desktop browser GUI.

Vor dem SEZ (Sport- und Erholungszentrum) Absperrwand, getarnt als Werbewand, davor ein öffentlicher Briefkasten.

Hey if anyone is interested we setup instances for Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud and more, See - https://webape.site/

We do so for a cost so we can afford to also make the many trade-free services and projects we have. See https://tromsite.com/

If you are interested or may want to help, you can also share this. We setup a separate VPS for each instance and provide updates, support, or custom requests as much as we can, for each instance. Plus an email server for each of them.

As the prophecy foretold.

"The site includes stone rings and a possible mastodon carving, possibly dating back 9,000 years when the lakebed was dry."

Two side-by-side images from the linked article. In the first, professor of underwater archaeology Mark Holley is holding a photo of a stone he says is carved with an image of a mastodon. The second image shows an enlarged detail of the stone with highlighted outlines of a crude engraving of a mastodon.


Seit vielen Jahren gibt es die ARD/ZDF-Onlinestudie, die nun Medienstudie heißt. Ich habe mir die Studie 2025 mal im Hinblick auf soziale Medien angeschaut mit besonderem Fokus auf das #Fediverse. Erhoben wird dabei allerdings nur der Dienst #Mastodon. Wir schauen uns näher an, wer es wie nutzt!

Ein Thread. 🧵

Kurz noch vorab zur Studie selbst: die Grundgesamtheit ist die deutschsprechende Wohnbevölkerung ab 14 Jahren in Deutschland, Feldzeit war im Frühjahr 2025, n= 2.512, Dual Frame-Stichprobe (d.h. es wurde per Telefon und Online befragt).

YES!!!

No more mastodon.social as the default choice

Instance admins: Meta and Twitch have both come out with rules about antisemitism in their latest Terms of Service that are measured but address the concerns of many Jews on the platform.

If I were take those rules and provide you language based on them that would help you implement them on your own sites, would you use it?

Welches Microblogging-Netzwerk führt bei der Anzahl an Posts unter den Hashtags der Landeshauptstädte?


Hier die Karte dazu! 📍

Erfasst wurden die Daten vom 01.07. bis 30.11.2025 in den Netzwerken X, Mastodon (Fediverse*) und Bluesky.
Alle Posts unter #Berlin, #Hamburg etc. wurden jeweils erfasst.

#Berlin #Hamburg #München #Kiel #Bremen #Schwerin #Hannover #Wiesbaden #Mainz #Magdeburg #Saarbrücken #Potsdam #Erfurt #Düsseldorf #Dresden #Stuttgart

X liegt vorne in Düsseldorf, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Stuttgart, Magdeburg, Potsdam, Dresden und Saarbrücken. Mastodon liegt vorne in Berlin, Hamburg, München, Hannover, Bremen, Erfurt, Kiel und Schwerin. Bluesky kann keine Landeshauptstadt für sich entscheiden.


Hey #39C3!
Tomorrow, Day 3, 14:00, I will spontaneously be hosting a session in the @cbase Fediverse Assembly on “Lessons from a Public University: Bringing Institutions into the Fediverse” and sharing my experiences from the step-by-step approach at the University of Innsbruck, where we have a Mastodon Instance on our servers, SSO-connected, based on a general strategic approach towards open plattforms.
Happy to see a lot of Fediverse fighters!

Mastodon friends I have a question. I had a business reason for opening an Instagram account on my phone. I checked the "no" box when it asked permission to access my contacts. When it loaded up I saw absolutely blood chilling suggested follows. An old friend I rarely correspond with. A Gee's Bend quilter I engaged to make a quilt 3 years ago. Creepy af. Can I just uninstall? Or should I delete the account? I seriously feel like lighting this phone on fire. #Mastodon #Instagram


Mastodon character limit is such a weird concept and useless and pointless I can't believe is still there. People who want to say more than a paragraph need to split it into "threads"...insane!

Look:

How the fuck you get to read and interact with a post divided into tens of comments.....

This is silly as fuck people.

If you have no character limit, guess what, you can still make short posts. But not vice-versa.

It is beyond me why this is still a thing in 2025. Artificial limitations.

Man I LOVE Friendica! A proper way to make posts and interact with people. And yet not many are aware of Friendica and how awesome it is.

@Meredith Whittaker you should either move to a Mastodon instance without character limitation or try Friendca. You can even use our node https://social.trom.tf - and that's for anyone else who is bothered by this artificial limitation of Mastodon.

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:

You might have an active Home timeline, unfortunately, #Mastodon instances won't keep all messages. So you might lose/miss some of them.
#Fedilab introduced the ability to cache your Home timeline in the background. This is also useful if you have a weak connection, the app will read them later from cache. #FedilabTips
Screenshot of settings where we can see the "Home cache" entry Screenshot showing charts with all Home timeline messages collected and put in app cache. Tapping on charts gives more information about messages collected per day.
When tapping the option, you can enable the feature and set the refresh time to fetch new Home messages. There is also an option to check these fetches through a button called "Check Home cache".


Hi, friends.

I wrote an article on being a Mastodon moderator. I talk about the process, our mental health, the challenges of mutual aid, and more.

It leaves me a little vulnerable, but I think it’s an important story to tell.

If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Okay, here goes…

#Mastodon users beware: someone's using the platform as a phishing pond this morning...
The image shows a scfeenshot of a phishing attempt using Madtodon.


ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users 🚨 🦋

If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.

This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.

Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.

Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.

This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.

If you have chosen to share your
own data with commercial platforms, make sure you leave the same choice to others.

This is important.

#Privacy #Mastodon #Bluesky #BlueskyBridge #Fediverse #Consent


Please report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.


"Mastodon" and "Fediverse"



After 2 years I managed to get WebApe to the official list of Mastodon providers https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/

In order to support the so many free projects we are doing, we are also trying to provide hosting and management for Mastodon, Friendica and the like.

For those interested see https://webape.site/

Basically if you need a Mastodon instance, or Peertube, or Friendica and so forth, you pay a monthly fee and we do everything. No need to worry about updates and all that.

Just moved from fosstodon to fediscience.

This is the third time I've moved #Mastodon instances! I've never wanted to move, but there have been compelling reasons each time.

I am always impressed at how seamless it has been every time I have moved instances.


I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

#Fellowship in Kooperation mit dem SWR X Lab und Mastodon

Das #SWR X Lab untersucht die Potenziale des #Fediverse für den öffentlich-rechtlichen Journalismus.

In Kooperation mit dem Media Lab Bayern und der Tech-Plattform #Mastodon wurde dazu ein Fellowship entwickelt.

Ziel ist es, innovative Lösungsansätze für sechs definierte Herausforderungen im Umgang mit ActivityPub zu finden.

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:

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.
