🥳 Say goodbye to #YouTube - we've launched our official channel on #PeerTube!

🔗 Find (and follow) us here: https://video.edu.nl/c/bibliothecaris_channel

We're in the early stages, so expect more videos, refined descriptions, and fine-tuning coming soon.

A big thank you to @SURF for making this possible. This is an exciting step for us 🚀

Bonfire isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s the point! We seek to enable a tapestry of social spaces, all built from shared building blocks but diverging in flavour, practice, and purpose.

We gathered a whole collection of answers from across the fediverse:

Fediverse Report 144 - this week's #fediverse news:

@newsmast launches news app for the Bristol Cable that combines local news with fediverse integrated news feeds, and the first Brazilian fediverse conference with WebSocialBR

Hey #fediverse people, I've an ask: If you appreciate all that I do for the fediverse and open social web, and you'd like to see me continue to do that work, please support my work financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k per year to support myself, with costs everywhere feeling increased (so that number may even be too low)

Right now, year to date, I've received a total of €20,170 in financial support from the community, and €22,450 from NLNet grants. I've also only had minimal freelance work this year, as I've been busy on grant work & try to focus on the fediverse & open social web.

So my total income isn't yet enough to be regularly sustainable. I've had problems being able to make rent payments this year because cashflow on grants comes in large chunks usually months after the work has been done.

So if you want to see me keep doing what I'm doing, please support my work!

that's about the best intro to the #fediverse that i've seen until now!

it's from https://bandwagon.fm/about so i think we have to thank @benpate for that 🤘

Hey everyone,

@aseelfromgz and I had the honour of speaking to four families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Mohamed Ismail ( @mohamedismail96)
• Zaki ( @Zaki)
• ph.roba (@roba_1999)
• Dr mohammed kahlout (@Kahlout94)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

Heute gibt es zum Fruehstueck mal was auf die Ohren 👉 https://share.transistor.fm/s/c63b8efd

Die Story rund um "Die Familienunternehmer" & die #AfD habt ihr vielleicht mitbekommen. Jetzt treten nicht nur Unternehmen wie #Rossmann & #Vorwerk schnell aus, die #Wikipedia Seite des Verbandes erlebt ein Aenderungs-Feuerwerk, welches an ein Liveblogging eines NBA-Spiels erinnert.

Moin #Fediverse & euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Donnerstag.

Wuerde mich freuen, wenn ihr den Beitrag boosten koenntet.

Danke 🙏

Oi #Fediverse..

Check out this 2min walkthrough of #Emissary's upcoming data migration tool. It's the last big feature I'm delivering in 2025.

It uses the "LOLA" data portability spec to transfer account data from one server (like Bandwagon.fm) to a new one (like bandwagon.your-band-here.biz)

No CSV files required. Just authenticate and approve, and everything just moves.

There's tons more to do, but I'm confident this will be live by Christmas. 🤘🏻

Btw for the Engineering / Computer Science / Physics students on the #Fediverse, you can still apply to the CERN Summer Student Program 2026! CERN does a lot of cool #opensource things too.

IMPORTANT: are we really going to let this campaign fail at 90 percent of its goal? @bonfire needs our support. Rather than buying useless stuff for these holidays, I'd better suggest to give something to these folks working for community's good. We can't let it go at 27.12 euro let's do 30.000!!! #fediverse #community #tech #mutualaid #crowdfunding #help #FollowerPower

Das wunderbare Fediverse-Erklärvideo von Elena Rossini @_elena gibt es jetzt nochmal neu auf Deutsch eingesprochen – und es macht den Einstieg so viel klarer für alle, die bisher dachten, das Fediverse sei „kompliziert“.

Elena zeigt knapp, präzise und mit viel Herz, warum freie, dezentrale soziale Medien wichtig sind und wie unser digitales Miteinander besser gelingen kann.
