Flohmarkt is a Fediverse Marketplace

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?

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

https://hachyderm.io/@RangerJosie@lemmy.world/113082651933853659

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

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.

For us, 2024 was a year of building on the social web.
✔️ Expanded federation in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Germany, and the U.K.
✔️ Enabled following accounts from the social web in the Flipboard app.
✔️ 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.

Space themed for Hubzilla, Friendica, Pixelfed etc from @digitalcourage
Hexigon stickers for a ton of fediverse platforms from @nlnet
Friendly @Mastodon official ones

What am I forgetting?!

Has anyone put together a curated list of #fediverse servers (preferably open source or at least with a public API) that:

- want to be found by the general public (I’m looking for a source of recommendations for a server picker in a client app)
- meet at least some reasonable minimum moderation/reliability standards?

I know #mastodon has joinmastodon.org/servers and pixelfed also has their own curated server list, but is there anything that isn’t software-specific?

You don't have to speak English on here. There are lots of servers listed which use other languages:

If your language isn't listed, let me know and I can try to look for servers to list that match your language.

2 questions for the #PeerTube experts out there,

1. Is there a way I can migrate my account? I think my server disabled downloading videos but this is also causing issues for the people that follow me in their podcast apps.

2. What good PeerTube instances exist that are not tied to Crypto, AI, any right wing thing?

So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.

What a complete and utter betrayal.

Man, yesterday was a doozy. We can’t agree with every platform’s decisions, but we can vote with our feet.

Surf wants to free our social connections from being locked up in separate self-serving networks. It’s a no-nonsense browser for the open social web that lets you easily create and surf custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles and podcasts around the things you care about.

Increasingly time-sensitive #MutualAidRequest (profanity) ($175/$350)

NOTE: There have been several people in particular here on the #Fediverse that have been insanely generous with #MutualAid for a couple of mentally-ill queer guys and their obese border collie. I could really use everyone else's help if possible to give these (essentially) guardian angels a reprieve.

If you've found my shitposts to be funny, or my philosophical takes to be thought-provoking (regardless if said thoughts are those of disgust), or are one of the few people who haven't already turned off my boosts and find them entertaining, please consider pitching in a little if you haven't already.

It takes a village and I could really use the village's help.

-------------------------------------------------

I am posting this despite an ever-growing desire to just give up and let it all burn. It is so embarrassing to have to continue doing this over and over. I am so sorry.

This month, working with a skeleton crew because of cutbacks was -- and remains to be -- hellish.

Thankfully my upcoming weekly hours have finally increased, in a couple of weeks I'll have a full, 40-hr work week. While it's still not enough for us to survive on in our current circumstances, it will at least allow us to be slightly less burdensome to the community.

However, I need a properly working vehicle to commute to my job due to the lack of reasonable transit options.

Our auto insurance is past due, and I still haven't had the time or money to get the emissions done. My plates are already a concern because I apparently forgot to ever put last year's reg sticker on it which is now lost in the storage unit we're on the verge of losing.

On top of all of this, the other day when I was in a hurry trying to get my meds that I'd gone almost a week without, misjudged traffic in my (even more impatient than normal due to the lack of meds) haste and had to nail a curb to avoid an accident.

So I ripped a hole in the sidewall of a tire my mom had to pay for after less than a year of use thanks to my stupid goddamned impatience. The previous set of tires were on that car for more than than *ten* years.

That was when I posted something to the effect of "this is a dark and ugly day".

Anyway.. so I'm driving a dirty, beat-up, 19 year old car with a spare donut tire, plates that *appear* to have expired a year ago, registration that *actually* is going to expire this weekend, and insurance that's about to expire the same time. I'm uncomfortable with those odds.

Fuck me this being poor shit is getting old. I am physically and emotionally raw, from a job that gave me an inflation-adjusted annual raise of one penny per hour a couple of months ago, implemented just in time for them to gut payroll for May. Neat! I guess I should be grateful I have a job, yada yada.

So, in summary - I need to at least keep my car insured, registration current, and replace the nearly-new tire I destroyed due to stupidity. Or some combination thereof.

Forgive me everyone for yet again needing to rely on you to keep us afloat.

If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad. Just give a boost if you'd be so kind.

Thank you everyone.

You may have heard that @Flipboard brought 250 publishers to the Fediverse this week. Here are just a few news outlets you might want to follow:

You can follow their entire profile, or just follow the topical Magazines that you're interested in. For example, if you want world news, follow @world-news-CBSNews. Or if you want Canadian news, follow @canada-cbcnews

The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @evan @mallory and @tomcoates.

The foundation's focus is educating the public and policy makers about the social web, enhancing and extending the ActivityPub protocol, and building tools and plumbing to make the social web easier to use. “With this program, The Social Web Foundation can catalyze more growth on the Fediverse while improving user experience and safety,” says Prodromou. “Our goal is to unblock users, developers and communities so they can get the most out of their social web experience.”

We are proud to support the work of the foundation. Read more about the it here:

Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots!

Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API.

Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust #Fedify foundation.

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!

This is what the future of publishing looks like 🚀

It makes me feel so happy to log onto my #Wordpress site & see this new #ActivityPub menu item about the number of followers of my blog from the #Fediverse. And comments awaiting moderation, which are usually Fediverse replies to my federated blog post. It's just so cool!!! (Yes, I will probably keep gushing about this for another month or so, please bear with me) 🤗
