Me 2 weeks ago: oh I will just do a post about #Lemmy interoperability with the rest of the #Fediverse for my blog series #TheFutureIsFederated.
How hard can it be? I already federated my Wordpress blog and figured out #Friendica.

Me today: I now have accounts on #Lemmy PLUS #PieFed AND #Mbin because my initial federation tests had mixed results. Reading my notes makes me go 😵‍💫😅

Despite all this I still LOVE the #Fediverse and I’m in awe of #Mastodon’s interoperability (it comes out shining)

NLNet announces newly funded projects, including quite a few related to ActivityPub.

First post! #introduction

Hi everyone, I’m trying to make the leap from corporate-owned social platforms over to the #fediverse and #mastodon . I’m excited to be here, and would appreciate any tips to help me wrap my head around this. Thank you! #newhere

Poll: Which platform gives you the BEST experience?

(not a multiple choices, vote wisely)

As a public service to #Boston-area residents we would like to tell you that the @frenchtoast Alert System is available here in the #fediverse.

Carry on.

I've been very interested in NodeBB and I've been testing their ActivityPub stuff over at try.nodebb.org all from the convenience of this Mastodon account.

Isn't life great?

The @funkwhale music platform is alive and in active development, and they're working on a feature to prevent far-right artists from using or benefiting from the Funkwhale platform. Some #Fediverse self-hosters are divided on letting a third party decide what should be allowed in their library.

For the last several months I've been working on making a federated app.

I just finished migrating it to use the latest iteration of our new #leafprotocol data format on top of the #willowprotocol and so far it's going really well.

In this post I share some of the concepts and rational behind the Leaf Protocol:

Latest in my personal experiences of "you never know to where or how your #fediverse posts will be federated".

My mastodon post getting a reply from a lemmy user. Mastodon-lemmy integration is not good, so seeing it happen passive was weird.

Instead, what happened here (AFAICT):
* An #mbin "magazine" sucked up my post due to a hashtag (I think)
* Added it (for some unclear reason) as a post to it's equivalent of a community
* Then federated that to #lemmy as such

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, a fediverse microblog for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文/#漢文)!

#introduction

Something Fediverse related that I am working on —

Toddlerverse

Basically, what I have been thinking about is —

What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.

(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)

(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)

The Fediverse makes me anxious sometimes. It's not always pure joy and bliss, especially as an admin.

Top 5 things that make me anxious here:

1. When people can't just agree to disagree, but have to crucify others or report them because they didn't like what they said - or even start a hateful campaign for it
2. When people endlessly nitpick and dissect otherwise good post
3. When the obscure and dark instances or nostr users find your posts and start posting hateful content because of "free speech"
4. When you get judged if you use the wrong word or even hint towards something that someone doesn't agree on
5. When you make a decision in moderation and any decision pisses off someone - lose-lose situation

It's not daily or often times even monthly, but it happens. I'm glad we mostly get along though.

Blocking, fediblocking, reporting and muting are the most important features here.

Are there any #Fediverse meetups in southern Germany? Maybe something in university towns that have CS programs?

I think München, Erlangen, Augsburg, Ulm, Stuttgart, ... I know of the IndieWeb events in Karlsruhe.

Pointers appreciated ... or people who might be interested.

✔️ Announced @surf, a new browser for the social web.
✔️ Produced new episodes of Dot Social, the fediverse podcast hosted by @mike

Thanks for being on this journey with us! 🚀

Did you do cool stuff in the fediverse this year? Tell us all about it in the comments, where we'll also link to the Dot Social PeerTube account and our Surf signup page.
