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.

What Does It Mean to Federate Your Flipboard Profile?
Recently, I got my Flipboard profile federated. It’s been fun to try out, and the prospect of reaching a new audience has made me want to be a better steward of the topics I share about. I hope my…Flipboard (Fedi Curious)
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

We need ActivityPub platforms that go beyond core social media concepts. @bonfire is exploring modular extensions and access control as building blocks for creative ideas.
Here's my guide to the install process on my little homelab system.
For our second spotlight we are shining a light on @gamingonlinux who keeps us informed with #Linux #News and #Gaming.
Liam, we can’t imagine the #Fediverse without you. You add so much to the community and you never let the trolls take you down! We also love that your website adheres to the #FediPUG code of conduct.
Thank you for all your hard work! We hope to be reading your articles for many years to come!

#FediBlock snarfed.org and brid.gy for bridging fediverse folks to Bluesky against their will (and in likely contravention of GDPR in the EU) with typical Silicon Valley techbro sense of entitlement:

You cannot apprehend the sheer power of Streetpass without using it.
Just install it, makes its button visible in your browser main bar and continue your online life as usual.
After a few days, you will realize how many individuals you have crossed paths with, how the words you were reading came from real people. The #fediverse is already everywhere !
Of course, it works best when reading blogs and independent websites. But that’s our shared goal, isn’t it?
@ntnsndr is coming to #FediForum and wants to talk about:
community governance, conflict resolution, policy and legal, financing
He has a new book out, too: "Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life". Sounds directly applicable to the #fediverse.
Discuss this and many other subjects with Nathan and other smart people? Join us March 19 and 20, 2024, online. Registration and more info: https://fediforum.org
Today at #Fosdem2024 I had the opportunity to get my #Mastodon official mug " title=""/> and the honor to shake hands with @Gargron.
In my fanboy moment I shared with him my deep gratitude for saving my digital life from the evil corps that were dominating the public discourse until the rise of the #fediverse.
Thanks Eugen for paving the way to the freedom we enjoy in our communities!
Image upload works! And those photos percolate through the #fediverse!
I still need to add proper alt text (just a static description for now).
And the UI is 💩
But I'm pretty pleased with how far I've got in a few hours of hacking away.
It is *totally* possible to build a location-based service on top of #OSM and #ActivityPub!

Under-the-radar late night launch: RSS Parrot is live! It talks like Mastodon, but it doesn't walk like Mastodon. BUT! It will relay any RSS feed straight into your timeline.
Turn Mastodon into your very own feed reader. Follow anything that has an RSS feed and get a toot about new posts.
How? Mention @birb with the address you want to follow.
More details at https://rss-parrot.net. Boost for visibility 😀

I honestly think we should take advantage of the exposure we'll receive from Threads and make more accessible instances that advertise themselves to more mainstream users.
Just outright blocking Meta or only hoping they "play nice" with us is probably going to end badly. Instead, we should be trying to expand our own foothold.
We asked Mastodon, the band, about Mastodon, the social media network, and they’re just as confused as the rest of us

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

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.
