Latest release of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, lets you blur / hide images marked as sensitive / #NSFW, which solves the "unwanted dick pics in your feed" issue that can come up when users of one of the more "risque" fediverse servers manage to make one of their favourite hashtags trend.

February 1st marked Global Switch Day -A celebration of the Fediverse and a chance to move away from corporate social media.

I reflected on platforms like Mastodon, PeerTube, PixelFed, and Loops. If you’ve ever thought about making the switch, now’s the time.

If you're on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to a different server:

The Fediverse is protected from takeover as long as we are spread out on many servers. If one server dominates, takeovers become easier.

Mastodon.social is currently 25.5% of the active Fediverse. This proportion is way too large and seems to be increasing.

Larger servers also tend to have worse moderation and are harder to defederate, threatening safety.

@ Ben Pate 🤘🏻 In the words of a diaspora* developer, if Mozilla and Vivaldi "implemented ActivityPub", they'd actually "implement Mastodon". That'd mean catching more users with less effort than implementing vanilla ActivityPub and implementing features that Mastodon doesn't have. Besides, both used to have or still have a Mastodon server, but they don't seem to be aware that there's a Fediverse beyond Mastodon, much less what it's like and how it works.

In fact, they wouldn't even implement the ActivityPub C2S API at all. They'd implement the Mastodon client API and only the Mastodon client API.

Yes you are right, but we have asked numerous times when they will get on the #Fediverse and they did mention that they did a test server internally, but gave a vague response of "we decided not to take things further" which is basically saying we won't get enough engagement. Or they say "they have a small team" but then contradict themselves by joining bluesky.

Even when one applies for a job or offers to help voluntarily, they will still ignore or find a reason not to.

Just dropped a new article on the VEX.blue BETA site: Connect your Bluesky account to the Fediverse

Want your Bsky posts to show up on Mastodon? Or your Mastodon account to be visible on Bsky?

This guide walks you through using bsky.brid.gy and ap.brid.gy so your posts & profile can talk to others across platforms.

BookWyrm is a Fediverse alternative to Amazon Goodreads. BookWyrm has a built-in book catalogue you can choose details from, but if you can't find a particular book you can add it to BookWyrm manually:

This guide also answers some common questions about adding books manually.

If you're unfamiliar with BookWyrm and want to find out more about it, there's a general guide to it at:

There is now a free open self-hostable Fediverse trail recorder called Wanderer. You can upload GPS data directly and it also lets you import your data from Strava and Komoot.

Wanderer is federated through ActivityPub so Wanderer servers can connect to other Wanderer servers and Mastodon etc servers too. More info at the official website:

➡️ https://wanderer.to
