fediverse

Just published a guide on setting up Snac on an Ubuntu VM using NGINX Proxy Manager. Snac is an incredibly lightweight #ActivityPub server. A true nom nom among fediverse platforms.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

You know #ActivityPub from a developer view? You want to have a forge that integrates with the #Fediverse? Then maybe https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation is a place for you :) Federation and #Forgejo :)

Roadmap at https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md

Exciting update on #BotKit: we've introduced a new Repository abstraction layer that provides cleaner data access. While previously data operations went directly through KvStore, they now go through Repository—improving separation of concerns and making the codebase more maintainable. Don't worry though—there are no breaking changes to the public API that BotKit users rely on!

Key benefits:

Better abstraction over data sources
Cleaner internal architecture
Fully backwards compatible

Check out our docs for the technical details: https://botkit.fedify.dev/concepts/repository.

I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.

It's a bit like flushing the toilet.

I just launched a new shirt design! Purchasing one of these ensures two things:

1. You look awesome.

2. You support this Retro Gaiden Mastodon instance

I have more ideas for future designs, but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out!

Feel free to check out the other designs in the store.

#Peertube is not dead.

It actually has the 3rd most active MAUs on the #Fediverse. It has more MAUs than #Lemmy.

The problem is discovery on Peertube is pretty bad, so it’s hard to see.

But also, Peertube is expensive to operate. And because Peertube is expensive to operate, Peertube admins won’t let just anyone join a their server. Which means it’s hard to join Peertube.

But even then, Peertube’s MAUs are significant.

New #Introduction post!

Hello I'm Noelle! I'm a blogger and reader who also plays musical instruments (guitar, keyboard) and takes photos. I believe that Meta and Google are not only killing the planet through their data centers but also democracy through the division their products have created. They are also taking over our lives by how much time we spend a day with their products (email, social media, YouTube).

#BotKit's web interface now supports theme customization! 🎨 You can set your preferred color theme using the pages.color option in createBot(). Here are some examples showing the same interface in different colors: "violet", "pumpkin", "azure", and "green" (default).

const bot = createBot<void>({ // ... other options pages: { color: "violet" // or "pumpkin", "azure", etc. }});

We support all color themes from Pico CSS—including "amber", "fuchsia", "indigo", "jade", "lime", "pink", "sand", "slate", "yellow", "zinc", and more! Check out Pico CSS's Colors docs for the full list of available themes.

Which color is your favorite? 🤔

📢 Important announcement! #BotKit's #GitHub repository has moved to a new home! 🏠

The repository is now located at @fedify-dev/botkit (previously @dahlia/botkit). All future development will continue at the new location.

Don't worry—everything's the same, just a new address! Please update your bookmarks and project references. Thanks for being part of our community!

The #Hollo repository has moved from @dahlia/hollo to @fedify-dev/hollo! Along with this move, our #Docker image registry has also been relocated from ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo to ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo.

While the old image registry will remain accessible, it won't receive any new tags. We recommend all Hollo users to update their Docker image references to the new registry address.

To update your Docker configurations, please change:

From: ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo:latest
To: ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:latest

The migration ensures better project organization and continued development. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in making this transition smooth!

The @bonfire release candidate is out! This is huge news for building well-governed community spaces in the #fediverse
Congratulations to the @bernini and @mayel and everyone who participated in this co-designed firestarter!

We are moving our profile to a new instance; followers will be moved along automatically. Should this not work for some reason for your account, please find us again and follow manually at @mpsgoettingen

Dear @sebinthestars, https://astrodon.social was right there when the #fediverse adventure started for many of us in 2022, before the MPDL instance existed (now gone again already) and also before https://academiccloud.social was there. Your efforts have allowed us, and many others, to make a wonderfully cozy home in the fediverse, and fedi being fedi, we'll now be able to move along seamlessly to our new home on https://academiccloud.social. Thank you SO MUCH for everything you've done for the community in the past two and a half years; for allowing us to share the joy and excitement of discovery. You have been a great host, and we are probably not alone in hoping to continue to see you somewhere on here in the future. 🔭 ✨

#GoodBye #AstrodonSocial #Thanks

I'd like to take 2 seconds this morning and thank all the #commons janitors who do the ungrateful and unseen work of trying to increase #fedi's #cohesion and #culture.

#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.

Janitors *weave* #SocialFabric.. ✊

Today @fedify launched an @opencollective to support the project.
@hongminhee has been doing amazing work on it. Fedify has shown itself to be one of the most promising ways for other projects to become part of the #fediverse. If you liked seeing Ghost (@index) make such fast progress bringing in potentially thousands (millions?) of blogs and newsletters to the fediverse, this is what they are using behind the scenes! So lets support this project together!

Ückück und das #Fediverse: Wie gut ist unser #Onboarding?

Gestern kam mein neuer Kolumnen-Beitrag bei @gnulinux raus und ist hier auf dem Communuty-Blog zum Nachlesen und -hören zu finden:

P.S.: Spannend fand ich ja, wie unterschiedlich das Feedback im Fedi und in den Kommentaren unter dem Artikel wieder ausgefallen sind.

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.
