Never done a proper #introduction since opening my #Mastodon account in early October so here we go

I'm an ecologist based in Berlin and I currently work on #lightpollution & its effects on #insects. I have also worked on a range of other topics in #ecology like #foodwebs & #invasivespecies

I'm also an editorial board member at the journal Oikos & a working group speaker for science communication at the Leibniz Postdoc Network

Looking forward to expand my #Mastodon community in 2023

I got tired of forgetting where the #RSS / #Atom #feeds are on various #Fediverse platforms and having to track them down, so I started a list.

hyperborea.org/tech-tips/fediv…

Currently covers *deep breath* #Mastodon, #Bookwyrm, #Funkwhale, #GoToSocial, #Lemmy, #Misskey & forks, #Pleroma & forks #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Plume, #Snac2, #Takahe, and #WriteFreely

*whew*

Feel free to let me know what I should add to the list (or any corrections I need to make) in a reply to this post!

Finding Fediverse Feeds

How to find the RSS/Atom feeds for Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Misskey, and other Fediverse platforms.

If you're interested in upcoming features on #Mastodon, there's an official public roadmap at:

➡️ joinmastodon.org/roadmap

The abbreviations before each feature tell you which part of Mastodon it concerns. "MAS" means the web interface and core functions, "AND" means the official Android app, "IOS" means the official iPhone/iPad app.

Third party apps and interfaces will have their own roadmaps which may be completely different, as they are made independently by third party teams.

Attention fedizens, it has come to our attention that more trolls are causing a ruckus on the #fediverse. Beware of users who use acronyms like lgbtq/lgbtqia in posts or on their profiles.

LGBTQ/LGBTQIA stands for Let's Get Banned Today Quickly (by) Instance Admins, is used to refer to a group of trolls who like to block evade or "speedrun" getting defederated.

They will make inflammatory posts such as the one below to see how quickly they can get on #fediblock.

If you see any #lgbtqia individuals please block and federate safely.

Hochinteressanter Podcast zum Thema #Datenschutz und #DigitalServices Act bei #Mastodon. Ist aber auch meiner Meinung nach interessant für alle andere Software im #Fedivers

Hello #Mastodon friends,
I have reported this fake account (in photos), where someone is impersonating me in many comments using my photos & bio to promote their writing. If this indieauthors.social account replied to you, don’t be duped.

Aside from reporting, there’s little I can do, but welcome any #tips. This happened on #Twitter & it’s disappointing to see it again here. But on social media, so it goes.

This will be great exposure for Mastodon, and I'm excited that it's happening on Reddit. These two are currently the only social sites I use.

#Twitter suspends #Mastodon account, prevents sharing links: Our statement

blog.joinmastodon.org/2022/12/…

I'm leaving #Twitter for the time being. I'll keep the account around, but that's it. No more posts, and I uninstalled the app. I'll stick to #Mastodon for now!

Goodbye Twitter

I've used Twitter almost as long as the channel has existed, but I'm done with it for now. Here's why!

^{thelinuxexp.com}

On CCN now. A number of CNN staff have been suspended too. One was re the jet thingies.

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:

➡️ chirp.social

You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers

It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.

It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.

Build Your Own Decentralized Twitter, Part 3: Hello Mastodon - The New Stack

David Eastman continues his tutorial series on developing a decentralized Twitter. This week, he examines Mastodon's federated approach.

^{David Eastman (The New Stack)}

Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile… Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:

Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:

• It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
• Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)

My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:

I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.

But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!

I've created a feature comparison table for various #Mastodon #iOS clients:

Is there an instance for #astrophotography on #Mastodon ?

I'm literally asking for a friend #space #photography

@Mastodon @Gargron
“A number of servers are starting to block Mastodon.social as it is nearly unmoderated due to its size.”

Is this a factual statement?

@GovTrack@mastodon.social Yep, true for a lot of people. Fortunately you can migrate, even if (I think) posts don't go with you.

^{PHP Community on Mastodon}

#Mastodon no es solo una red social alternativa, sino un paradigma completamente distinto, y gracias a las oleadas migratorias previas ya hay suficiente masa crítica para una experiencia de red social completa.

I just made an new Mastodon instance focused on #neuroscience at synapse.cafe . I'd like this to be a cozy space to discuss the wonders of the brain, from cells to thoughts. If you do research in neuroscience or even have a general interest in it, come by and check it out!

Synapse Cafe

A Mastodon instance for anyone interested in neuroscience, from cell biology to electrophysiology to behavior to clinical applications, anyone is welcome!
