We almost reached the halfway point of the #FediJam, our month-long #GameJam for users of the #Fediverse. So we figured this might be a good moment to remind everybody that you can submit your game early – even if it's not yet finished.
1) Create a new public (!) project on itch
2) Go to https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam and click "Submit your project"
3) Fill out the questionnaire (you can edit your answers later)
Note: Your submission won't become publicly visible before October!
So I'm trying to figure out how I want my podcast Before the Future Came to exist in the fediverse. Wordpress has an ActivityPub plugin that supports fediverse replies as WP comments and so on, but of course, doesn't provide a proper Mastodon/whatever account that you can post miscellaneous statuses to. With just this approach, I guess each of us hosts that have Masto accts would be posting other podcast promo stuff via our own accounts?
Alternately, we could create a Mastodon account for the podcast somewhere and post links to eps manually. That would give us the freedom to crosspost relevant stuff from TikTok/IG/cohost (i'll miss you, cohost! 😭) directly under the banner.
Lastly, we could use both: fix the currently-busted WP plugin and have a full acct. The full account might just boost the original ActivityPub posts + have its own supplemental posts.
What are y'all doing with your podcasts?
Na denn, @Gargron, viel Spass mit den Jüngern von
Olavo de #Carvalho dem so genannten "Guru" von #Bolsonaro .. .
Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.
Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..

It's happening! My book about Mastodon and the fediverse is now entering the production phase!
My editor at Oxford is asking what sort of cover image I would like. Any suggestions? Boosts appreciated!

So… it’s coming together. My current book, Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Ethical Social Media is mostly drafted! I am drafting a conclusion, but for now, I figured I would provide an overview of the book…RWG (FOSS Academic)

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 79
Mike Masnick joins the Bluesky Board, new ideas on microblogging focused on specific topics, and more.fediversereport.com
These sound like nice improvements.
It would also be nice to not be forced by Nextcloud onto a centralized, proprietary, monopoly surveillance platform to see them.
Peertube is a thing. So is Pixelfed. Heck, even on Mastodon, short videos are a thing.

@syuilo please consider adding MAU to Misskey!

[strong]Frage | Friendica: Warum braucht das so lange ein Profil zu öffnen?[/strong]
Wenn ich versuche direkt über einen Profillink ein Profil zu öffnen dauert das ewig:
Wenn ich eine Erwähnung wie z. B. in dem Fall @Nike Leonhard anklicke geht es recht flott, aber eben nur weil das Profil nicht inlay, sondern direkt auf dem betreffenden Server geöffnet wird.
Und wenn ich dann auf die Idee komme die URL dieses Profils, hier z. B. https://literatur.social/@Nike_Leonhard in die Suche einzugeben, habe ich das Profil innerhalb von zwei, drei Sekunden inlay vor mir.
Suche ich btw. direkt nach dem Profil, kann es sein das es gar nicht gefunden wird.
Woher kommt da der doch riesige zeitliche Unterschied?

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb
The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

I wish #Mastodon supported the kinds of "starter packs" just launched by #Bluesky. They're a great way to invite people to join a new platform and quickly find people and organizations that meet their interests.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2024-starter-packs
I'm committed to Mastodon, but I'm on Bluesky to explore and experiment. While I like these starter packs, I won't be using them. I want to invite new people (working on my topics) to join Mastodon, not Bluesky.

Should #Shadertoy have #ActivityPub / #Fediverse support? 🤔
I have an account there, containing a dodgy old raytracing experiment. But I like looking at other people's stuff.
The site already has profiles, posts, likes, follow mechanics.
It's fun to think about how one would federate Shadertoy posts. HTML iframe with a fallback animated GIF somehow?
The site lets high-tier Patreon supporters make feature suggestions. Any Shadertoy enthusiasts interested in asking?

It’s weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Even more weird when one is a crypto start-up with a billion dollar valuation. And the other an under-funded non-profit in the Fediverse.
That’s the story of an unlikely couple: #Farcaster and #Newsmast.
Both built around channels, or communities. The success of Farcaster shows the potential in the #Fediverse.

Building ActivityPub: Day 0
They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so two weeks ago we shared our intention to connect Ghost with the ActivityPub Network to bring back the open web.Ghost (Building ActivityPub)
I hesitate to share this for fear of generating a mini #ddos on their site, but i had no idea the #fediverse generated so much traffic due to its inherent nature. Sounds like issue is on the roadmap to getting fixed, but good that folks are sounding off about it.

We need to talk about this problem. Should Mastodon step up?Ankush Das (It's FOSS News)
Another temporary solution (instead of blocking Mastodon user-agent) could be blocking all media sent to that agent, to decrease traffic.
I hope there will be a fix sooner than later, this is a really bad side effect of #Mastodon. BTW what about other #fediverse back-ends, same issue?
Oh, the Founder of Mastodon takes the final and last Step to get more Profit out of it by babbling about something with creating a Non-Profit organization in the US because of their Taxes...🙄
Just my humble opinion on the matter at hand. 😉

@Gargron @roblen
I’m looking for a long form blog type that is connected to the #fediverse
Let’s see what happens…
Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:
"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.

Fediverse | Probleme bei der Federation
Es gibt im Fediverse einige Newsbots deren 'Anrisse' bei mir scheinbar ohne Link zum Orginalbeitrag sind. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel diesen Beitrag. Bei mir (Friendica) sieht er so aus:
Sprich es gibt nur einen kurzen Textanriss und ansonsten gar nichts. Gehe ich dann auf den Orginalbeitrag (ebenfalls Friendica), so sieht es so aus:
Nun stellt sich die Frage wo unterwegs das Bild als auch der Link auf der Strecke geblieben sind. Liegt es daran das ich die Vorschau für Links deaktiviert habe? Wenn ja, dann müsste ja doch trotzdem irgendwo der entsprechende Link im Beitrag sein, oder sehe ich das falsch?
Achso, der Vollständigkeit halber findet man hier auch noch die verlinkte Seite bei DW.

Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts
Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post
Win goes to Bluesky since they seem to have better control of that ... for now
