How to reply to a post on Fedi:1. Begin writing a sassy reply, but start to worry that it will be misunderstood.2. Discard reply without posting.3. Start writing a sincere reply. Continue until you have written a 5000 character, multi paragraph screed.4. Discard without posting.5. Start a new reply where you try to phrase your screed as succinctly as possible.5. Give up and discard without posting.6. Just click the star button on the post instead #fediverse
Today in ‘favourite things about the #Fediverse. This post (sadly not enabled quoots) with a picture of a MODEM and a recording of the sound. Not for the post itself, but for all of the comments pointing out that the sound is a 56K speed negotiation but the picture is of a 33.6K MODEM (which was also my reaction, but it’s nice to just be one of the biggest geeks in the room).
Social media should be about meaningful connections, authenticity and less exploitation of the people and their personal #data.In fact, they should be social platforms that put people first and make #people to be members of social platforms and communities, not simply users that are used by big #tech companies to make money.#Fediverse, especially with the #ActivityPub protocol, makes it possible and allows people to experience better digital life. #socialmedia #privacy #bigtech
Some new users give up on the Open Social Web after only a few days of trying.So, how do we help people who manage to make an account stay engaged in the Open Social Web? Show them people and posts they like, on topics they love. That's why we built 62 topical Newsmast Channels and then opened our Channel building technology to the public. So you can build what you care about too. Try building your own on Channel.org today #SocialWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon #SocialMedia

We're sad to see that IFTAS Connect has begun the process of shutting down. We, like many other server admins, often found advice and help from the community there. We hope that by preserving the 'Connect' news feed with Channel.org tech we can give back to the community.Thank you for the work by @iftas and everyone involved, including all the admins who shared their thoughts there.We look forward to seeing what's next for community collaboration on the Fediverse.https://about.iftas.org/2025/09/29/sunsetting-iftas-connect/#SocialWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon #Moderation
I’m going to register a protocol handler, so links to anywhere on the fedi will be opened in the user’s home instance.

Has anyone already done this and if so what was the prefix you used? We might as well all use the same thing. I’m thinking web+fedi.
I turned a tiny #Mac mini into my own #Mastodon server—secure, low‑maintenance, and running like a dream. Here’s the full build, from #Docker to #Cloudflare Tunnel, and why #SelfHosting doesn’t have to be a headache.#Fediverse #ActivityPub #HomeLab #DevOps #SysAdminhttps://phoenixtrap.com/2025/09/21/my-mini-mastodon-server/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social
I am running my instance in a VM. To be able to test with updates, add-ons etc I created a clone, but did not start it yet. Are there any general problems to expect, when I run 2 instances on different IPs with identical configuration ? Or any suggestions that the network is kind of "aware" that the clone is just a clone ? #mastodon #admin #server #vm #instance #fediverse #linux
I launched a self-hosted Funkwhale instance that you can freely stream most of my music from. Follow incentivemusic@funkwhale.circlewithadot.net or checkout https://funkwhale.circlewithadot.net/channels/incentivemusic Not too familiar with the setup yet so if there are any issues following/streaming please feel free to lmk.#funkwhale #music #fediverse
