I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) book reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and expertise) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

So far I have on my list:

I can't agree with this more. I was just telling an IRL friend yesterday that the people of the #Fediverse have become really important to me, to my delight and surprise. I live in a relatively rural place and don't have a lot of music friends here, and I didn't realize how hard that was until you lovely people relieved some of that pressure with your wit, experience, and great conversation.

Thank you, @SamanthaJaneSmith , for putting words to this. And, of course, for the kind compliment. <3

One of the wonderful things about the #Fediverse are the people you meet. Especially when your isolated from your community. I so rarely get to interact with other musicians that it is always a pleasure to talk to them and hear them perform.

In that spirit I yesterday had the opportunity to listen to a livestream by @alisynthesis . I had never heard her music before but had a fantastic evening listening to her. If you don't know her then do take a listen. I will certainly be listening to more of her.

I have also had the opportunity to talk with @elifyalvac . She has such an amazing back catalog of music in many different genres as well as a podcast. I am quite overwhelmed with her music and I feel that I learn from listening to each of her tracks. So do take a listen to her.

I know there are many more musicians out there and so little time to listen to everyone.

Sending love to you all, Sammi xxx

Hallo #Mastodon

Wir sind #neuhier im #Fediverse
und wir setzen uns für die Nutzung von #OpenSource-Software in #Bayern ein.

Für uns ist unverständlich, dass Bayern weiterhin auf eine Ausstattung der Behörden-Arbeitsplätze mit #Microsoft setzt.
Dadurch würde die technische Abhängigkeit Bayerns von #US #BigTech noch weiter verstärkt und Aussagen zur #digitalen #Souveränität blieben ein Lippenbekenntnis.

Wir freuen uns über jede Unterschrift unter unsere #Petition

Today @mkljczk introduced a proposal for MAEPs (Mastodon API Enhancement Proposals) which would be similar to the FEP process but for converging on API schema for servers that are not Mastodon but who are using the Mastodon client API

The third in our blog post series is by @haubles - sharing our work and ideas around how to grow and nurture the community, for everyone. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialWeb

Been a while since I last checked what's going on in here, how's it going #fediverse ?

Profiles having GMail accounts are often used to spread spam into #fediverse. Be careful.

I was just reminded of the awesomeness of #castopod the self-hosted #podcasting platform that is connect to the #fediverse by #activitypub

This allows us to follow, comment etc etc from #mastodon or similar apps:)

And discovery is easy:).

And to get you started, for the techies out there, may I suggest

@overlappodcast

the latest episode is amazing!

"Guerrilla Infrastructure in the Age of the Electrostate"
