Never thought a simple follower list would turn into this!

Multi-tab experience, seamless search, smart suggestions, polished interactions, and we're only talking about the Followers screen.

Loops is proving first party fedi apps can go toe-to-toe with the biggest mainstream platforms.

Beta shipping soon ✨

In his new book, Tim Berners-Lee advocates for the #Fediverse, the a decentralised network of platforms like @Mastodon that communicate through open, decentralised protocols and promote user freedom over corporate control.

Central within his movement is Solid (link 👇), a protocol developed by his company Inrupt, enabling users to store and manage personal data in secure pods and decide who can access it, and allowing them to maintain ownership, and digital autonomy.

@hildabast @PLOS I'm #transgender and left #Bluesky after 2 years there earlier this month. I've used the #fediverse in some capacity since 2017 and love it. I went to Bluesky to see #ATProto progress, tried #Blacksky servers which failed miserably for me and a ton of other users in reliability (Couldn't post, blank feeds).

So now i'm back here but bridged to follow some Bluesky accounts. I think if more accounts there bridge that will help people feel more inclined to come back.

@oblomov I think @tusooa was working on such feature for #Pleroma (see merge request); not sure how that works or how far it got and if it’s working on her instance nowadays. (I hope she won’t mind the mention, either.)

Unfortunately, Pleroma doesn’t even support language tagging yet, so there’s a long way to go. But at least it supports Unicode in custom emoji names, unlike #Mastodon and some others!

I think #Fediverse as a whole has a long way to go toward proper language support. Not just on a technical level, but mentally, too. People first need to recognise that different languages exist and deserve equal support, that people often speak more than just one, that ASCII really isn’t enough for many of them, and so on… these first need be regarded as basic requirements, not as extra fancy features.

After some weeks (or months?) in which I had no time for maintaining my collection of media acocunts in the #Fediverse (https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html) it seems like #Ghost has grown too big: They have federated so many sites 🤯

All their news-sites are here:
https://explore.ghost.org/news
Just search with "@" + URL here and you'll see one of them is federated.

And if you find one, why not tagging me here, so I can include them?

Oh and boosting this post, may also help 😁

It feels like the #Fediverse is the only ecosystem that isn’t shoving some flashy new AI feature in your face every other day.

No forced prompts. No synthetic hype. Just people, ideas, and open protocols.

And honestly? I think that’s kind of beautiful.

@Gargron does it flash when a new post is made in #Fediverse?

Hi everyone, today we’d like to welcome two new members to Gaza Verified after @aseelfromgz, @casey, and I had the honour of talking to them over video chat.

They are:

• Samar and her family (@Samar_2025). We spoke with her children, Qais and Mohammed.

• Maram and her family (@maram4). Maram’s account is mainly run by Weaam, her daughter, who we spoke to.

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

💕

Hey everyone,

@aseelfromgz, @casey, and I were able to carry out two verification calls today (out of the four scheduled) and we’d like to welcome two new members to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Tahani and her family (@tahine21)
• Ahmed Aziz (@ahmedaziz24852)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

💕

PS. We’ve rescheduled the two calls we couldn’t hold to tomorrow and we’ve rescheduled all calls tomorrow to start at the earlier time of 1PM Gaza Time instead of 4PM as Internet access appears to be better earlier in the day, especially after the switch to Daylight Savings Time.

I’ve not kept up with the latest Mastodon developments, but does anyone know if this sort of feature is planned?

I get that it’s extra complicated with the federated nature, but it feels like something that the major fediverse platforms could agree on a technical implementation of even if yes, technically clients could just choose to show “unapproved” or “hidden” replies.

Our tent doesn't protect us. It doesn't protect us from the heat, the cold, the wind, the insects, or the sand. Living like this every day is exhausting and
uncomfortable, yet we have no other choice. ⛺💔

💔 "Today I attended a psychological counseling seminar for women to help us cope with the stress and trauma caused by the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. The pain and fear still weigh heavily on our hearts. Please, support women and families like mine so we can find hope and stability again. Every bit of help truly makes a difference."
