I'm trying to decide how much of "quote posts" I want to support in Ktistec. On one hand, it's not trivial functionality, and I really do question how much extra value someone's comments on someone else's post will add to the Fediverse. On the other hand, I dunno... assuming Mastodon limits abuse by enforcing quoting rules, Ktistec could probably just follow along and display quoted posts. Is there any value in just that?

I've had Honk, a light hearted activitypub platform, installed for quite awhile now. Updating and installing were simple enough that I could do it, but I honestly have no idea how to use it!

It's fun to say I've honked something tho. 🦆

Are there any other Honkers out there?

I'll write up my notes on the install process (has been stored away in my journal for over a year) before I uninstall.

It's amazing that we have folks from the traditional German media like @3sat, @tagesschau or @NDR attending the #Fediday , but I can't find any mention to the event on their #fediverse accounts?

Did I just miss it or are they afraid of the (still) atypical?

My apologies if I didn't search well enough.

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:

* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful

* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM

* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort

* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project

And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

Is anyone still running a copy of the "Mastodon Users" bot?

@usercount, @mastodonusercount, and @mastodonusercount@lou.lt have stopped posting, and the server @mastodonusercount@bitcoinhackers.org was on has shut down.

Your timeline is what you want it to be on fedi. You build it. You MOLD it, like a piece of clay. It takes time. It takes effort. You'll have to mute sometimes. You likely will have to block. Don't give up.

It's worth it. Art. Code. Gaming. Books. Pot Belly Pigs. Death Metal. Whatever your interest, you can find a community here, I promise. Smaller, perhaps, but more connected.

You might even have a real conversation with a human being. Give it a try!
