fediverse

One of my favourite features of the #fediverse is seeing people *learning things*. There are so many folks here discovering dying arts and trades. People learning how the things we take for granted work, and endeavouring to implement them themselves!

People getting their #HAMradio licenses, #selfhosting, making clothing, blacksmithing, gardening, repairing their own things, backporting modern software to run on windows 3.11...

Y'all are my people. Never stop learning, and never stop sharing what you've learned.

A new @iftas report brings insights from fediverse moderators, administrators, and community managers: worsening mod-to-user ratio, spam, burnout, lack of tools.

"Moderators are the backbone of a safer social web – but most are unpaid, under-supported, and under constant strain. If we want a future for decentralised platforms that respects user agency, civil speech, and community autonomy, we need to support the infrastructure that keeps it safe."

One of the powerful things about the Fediverse and Social Web is that people can follow you from anywhere!

People from the same server you are on.

But also people from other servers can follow you.

Should the ability for people on other servers to follow you be OFF by default?

And, only people on the same server you are on can follow you by default?

Can I ask a favour?

If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website https://fedi.tips?

I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. I'm especially keen to help new people who want easy-to-understand advice, but they won't see me and I won't see them unless someone tags me.

Thanks 🙏

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub

There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.

“I feel like we're rebooting to the last version of the Internet that I felt uncomplicated joy about.”

@Casey, @kevin and @pj on why they set up their Forkiverse fediverse server.

The #Forkiverse as a model: ie converting podcast audiences to an instance makes a lot of sense.

It helps people pick a smaller instance (which still stops people joining the #fediverse) and it immediately has reach beyond the community (unlike say a discord server)

If this was to become the norm though it would need to be very very easy to do and I imagine the cost of this will rack up pretty quickly.

Within 10 days new bills arrive for our servers, media storage and emails send for past month 💸

Welcome, everyone joining the #forkiverse!

The #fediverse is like any social media in that the "algorithm" gets better the more you "train" it. And by "algorithm" I mean cool people & hashtags you can follow (yes, you can follow hashtags, it's awesome!), and by "train" it I mean boost any post you enjoy.

The more you boost and others boost, the more good stuff bubbles to the top and even goes viral. (Yes, stuff on Mastodon etc. can go viral! It's possible!)

Most importantly: HAVE FUN!! 😊🎉

I'd like to extend my welcome to the #forkiverse folks, hoping to see them bring more diversity into our corner of the internet.

Hope you all enjoy it here!
