I think that fully integrating #ActivityPub into Flipboard's backend is going to be one of the best things we've done since we started the company.

There are three phases:

Phase 1 (Today): Federate 25 accounts to test and learn

Phase 2 (January): Enable anyone in the Fediverse to engage with any public curator on Flipboard

Phase 3 (April): Enable anyone on Flipboard to follow and engage with any public account in the #Fediverse

University-hosted instance social.uibk.ac.at: We are continuing to increase our presence here on Mastodon for science communication. By establishing our own instance, we aim to contribute to a positive development of the #Fediverse.
We are thus (further) limiting our involvement on X.

Organizational units of the University of Innsbruck are welcome to use the instance social.uibk.ac.at!

If they had hoped for #Threads to federate for getting all their connections back, this is a blow. Now they have to hope, that the people on #Threads they want to connect with, opt-in to the federation.

But it gives another incentive to #Mastodon and the #Fediverse to advertise itself. Not something, both were especially good in the past, to be honest.


For #Meta that makes it substantially easier to moderate for the #Fediverse: They only have to keep an eye on accounts, that opted-in to the federation. (Of course, only if they even want to moderate)

For people (say some journalists), who like #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, but who miss some or large parts of the former user base of #Twitter, this will create an incentive to migrate to #Threads even. There, they have potentially all connections.


So, accounts on #Threads will have to opt-in to #federation with #Mastodon and the #Fediverse.

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but doesn't that change the whole debate here? Only a small part of #Threads user base will do that. The majority doesn't know about the #Fediverse, and won't care.

But that also means that there won't be a flood of content/accounts/stuff from Threads here in the Fediverse. For the most part, both will stay separated.


Hmmm... I love the #Fediverse but I hate #Web3. Is that a paradox?

Do you need help with using Mastodon and the Fediverse? Especially if you're a beginner or unsure about techy things?

You can ask by messaging me or replying to this thread, and I'll try to help or find someone else who can help. Don't worry if a question seems silly or basic!

You can also look things up on the guide at fedi.tips, which has an "essentials" section at the top and a complete list of answered questions below that.

**Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?**

Warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Immatrikulation auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann! #boost

English Version
**Where are the universities in the Fediverse?**

Why don't universities have their own Mastodon instances yet?

Why don't students get a Mastodon handle when they enrol?

Why don't universities host lecture videos on PeerTube in the Fediverse?

There is a lot to be said for universities getting more involved in the Fediverse.

A call that can only be supported! #boost

Is anyone leading efforts on promoting fediverse to government agencies?

@Nathan Schneider I'd love to have a look at the second document, but ACM is very unfriendly towards well-secured desktop browsers. I ended up IP-blocked due to what was perceived as non-standard behaviour which probably means that I haven't just loaded the page and then the document exactly once.

That said, I guess the author of that document steps right into the same trap as everyone else who does something related to the #Fediverse without being an avid, well-informed user of many months, namely assume that the Fediverse is only #Mastodon. Granted, the document is about, quote, "Popular Mastodon Instances", but it might also mention interaction with the rest of the Fediverse and do as if this whole rest of the Fediverse is only Mastodon. This is more than just a technicality: Some aspects about Mastodon rules do not translate to all Fediverse projects, others do not translate to anything that is not Mastodon.


friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS


@Friendica Support

Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.

As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.

This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.

I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

Friends of the #Fediverse — I'm looking for nominations of Makers on Mastodon! Share your best follows with me and I may be able to get them some extra visibility!

(Please reshare)


Anyone using the hosted version of the open-source WordPress software now has the ability to tie into the #fediverse, connecting their blog to platforms such as #Mastodon. techcrunch.com/2023/10/11/word…



Ach Mist, das war's dann wohl mit meinen Statistiken zu #Mastodon als Trafficquelle für @heiseonline:

Hab gerade bemerkt, dass die schönen neuen Vorschaukarten den URL-Parameter abschneiden, über den wir überhaupt erfahren, dass Besuche von hier kommen. Je mehr Instanzen diese neue Vorschau nun anzeigen, desto mehr Einstiege werden darüber kommen und für uns nicht mehr erkennbar.

Weiß nicht, ob wir das überhaupt beheben können/wollen.

Hello #Fediverse! We're a #vegan permaculture community on 136 hectares in #Ecuador.

We bought the land 9 years ago and have since planted hundreds of fruit trees (not including hundreds of bananas, 14 varieties!). The project was established to create the first open regenerative vegan intentional community in the tropics of South America.

Our community includes several long-term members and we welcome new volunteers, renters and interested members. If anyone would like to come and experience a 100% plant-based lifestyle and help us in our goals of sustainable and regenerative planting of fruit trees, please visit our website for more information and to apply to join us

"... a significant portion of the #Fediverse, at least for now, runs on pure enthusiasm, and sometimes on donations from supporters or some occasional banners. There’s currently no sustainable commercial model here, and it seems that there is no intention to implement one yet."

kaspersky.com/blog/what-is-fed…

Why would we? A centralised revenue model for...

"... an association of independent social networks..."

...is basically like trying to create one for everything on the web. It's bananas.


Did you know that it is possible to play online chess with another user through the #Fediverse ?

How to: castling.club/

Developer: @kosinus
Project:
github.com/stephank/castling.c…

Discovered that thanks to #FediForum


Can y'all imagine what the #Fediverse would be like if the projects had the kind of funding to enable this scale of development?


Good morning from Australia, #Fediverse!! Don’t forget to embrace your inner #punk! 🤘:MOULE_Happy: stimpunks.org/glossary/punk/


The dwebcamp.org/videos/ crew look so out of touch with the #fediverse and our #openweb reboot in general.

#dweb #web3


The undeclared war on #4opens is becoming "common sense" on the #fediverse with the shift to #mainstreaming this is back to the mess we were stepping away from with our #openweb reboot.



Dear #fediverse friends,

Stop saying "there's no algorithm here".

"Chronological" *is* an algorithm.

It has pros, and it has cons.

Which means, at the moment I don't have any algorithmic freedom on Mastodon.

To make this post a bit spicier: on Twitter we can choose 2 algorithms, on Bluesky many.

Lack of algorithmic freedom is a feature for some, a bug for others. But let's call it by its name.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.


I have participated in several #NASAsocial events & highly recommend applying! It would be great to see some folks from the #Fediverse actively contributing.


Whoa! BBC has set up their own instance (social.bbc) in #fediverse / #mastodon ! 😲👏

bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mast…

It is such a no-brainer for media, academic & govt orgs to own their identity AND platform on social media. Nothing really beats "user@domain".

#activitypub


Here's my offer:

I will provide free managed hosting to any Indian media org (or any other type of institution) who wants to set up their own fediverse instance, like BBC did.

Please spread the word! 🙏
