Ückück und das Fediverse - meine neue Kolumne bei @gnulinux

Ein neues Projekt steht an und ich freue mich sehr. Ab diesem Monat werde ich regelmäßig für GNU/Linux.ch über das Fediverse schreiben, mal spezielle Projekte vorstellen, mal von Veranstaltungen berichten, mal einen Blick auf die Meta-Ebene vagen - es gibt jedenfalls genug zu berichten, dass ich eine Weile beschäftigt bin :D

Mehr dazu erfahrt ihr in diesem Ankündigungs-Artikel der Redaktion:

Die Kolumne wird ab dem 6. Mai 2024 an jedem 1. Montag im Monat erscheinen.

Question about #Akkoma

Is it possible to migrate a Mastodon account to an Akkoma account? Will I be able to import my account details, my post history, my list of who I follow, etc?

I ask because I am looking for a new Fediverse instance with microblogging. Mastodon is the obvious choice as I am already using it, but I like the tech stack underlying Akkoma better (Elixer), and it generally seems to have a better team of devs running the project as compared to Mastodon.

This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go?

I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this.

This isn’t officially supported but #Akkoma works great on @Flipboard.

And I know this because I’m using it right now with atomicpoet.org. Big thanks to @mike for (unintentionally?) making the best Akkoma client on iOS!

Take a look!

Hello fediverse!

I need your help to feature all of the amazing services that are part of the #ActivityPub realm.

What are some of your favorite ActivityPub handles to follow on #Funkwhale, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Bookwyrm, #Wordpress, #Truefans, #Castopod, #Akkoma, #Friendica, #Lemmy and others?

Your replies will be categorized by @jejord, @AileenLalor, @miaq and @marci so that we can feature these accounts to our Flipboard users and work to ensure they render properly on Flipboard.

I'm excited to help evangelize the many great projects here and advocate for their adoption and funding.

Since #Firefish is becoming unmaintained, I need to find new fedi instance software. My choices as I understand them:

- Some similar Misskey fork such as #Sharkey, #Iceshrimp (but they're ongoing a rewrite?), something else..? Advantage is that in theory I can migrate my current instance without having to create a new fedi identity. But the risk is that the next fork will also become unmaintained due to lack of developers.
- #Akkoma. It's faster and lighter than #Mastodon, but I don't like the default UI and would use the Glitch-soc multi-column UI. I don't know if that works without issues on it, but it seems to be bundled in? Also don't know how active Akkoma is.
- Mastodon. It's apparently heavy to run (no experience), but overwhelmingly the most supported and the most likely to be maintained into the future. Downside (which Akkoma also has) is that I need to create a new fedi identity, as apparently other instances won't accept me just switching to Mastodon and keeping the same identity. That would be some hassle, especially as my old Fosstodon/GenServer.social accounts point to my current identity, which would disappear (maybe I could set up a redirect with Caddy).
- GoToSocial. This is very unknown to me, and it doesn't come with a UI?
- Something else?

Thoughts?
