Currently testing out the new version of #Mammoth as my #Iceshrimp client. So far so good, the #Mastodon #API integration does wonders but I do hope that @mammoth integrates the native API along with other #Fediverse software.
I'm glad that its custom lists don't populate in my list of lists, because that would be poor on their part if a person wanted to move apps.
They might want to try and grab the instance character limit, as I can play with 6000 and not just 500.
However, the whole splitting and threading feature is great. I like that it doesn't mess with the UI and is seamless.
It's much less distracting because of that.

The network effect for #ActivityPub is gaining some serious momentum right now. As more services adopt the protocol, more people, more communities and more content are added to the network making it increasingly more valuable for everyone. This will only accelerate in the coming months as Threads, Wordpress, Tumblr, Flipboard and others federate.
We're still in early innings but there's no way to put this genie back in the bottle. The open social Web / the #Fediverse is going to be huge.
Does decentralization make moderation better or worse? Will the #Fediverse deteriorate as millions more users join? Can tens of thousands of local instance owners do a better job at spotting and combating disinformation than the walled gardens can?
I asked @tchambers these questions and more to get his expert opinion and thoughts. Here's a great clip along with a link to the full conversation on PeerTube.
One of my favorite parts of this interview with @tchambers is when he wraps up with his 2024 predictions for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub including the things he's looking for as this crucial election year plays out. He gives a sweeping and insightful summary of the most important efforts now underway which will bear fruit this year.

Hoy llego a la entrada número 10.000.
¿Qué significa esto?, que de ir de red en red social a lo largo de los años, sólo en Mastodon, me he sentido cómodo y muy a gusto, ya no solamente por publicar, si no por la gente que me he ido encontrando a lo largo de todo este tiempo, siendo una parte del Fediverso.
Muchas gracias a toda la gente que está ahí, que me sigue, que me visita, que comparte y que comenta mis fotografías. 📸

I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.
It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.
I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.
You’re going to love this episode of Dot Social with @coachtony CEO of Medium. He says “there’s a huge difference between what someone is willing to read and what someone is happy to have paid to read”
How do you build a system that rewards great writing? How can you scale expert curation so readers can discover that writing in a sea of AI spam? How will the #fediverse enable writers to connect with their ideal audience?

Building a Mastodon app?
https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK has been designed to handle the quirks of the many different servers across the fediverse. It’s been growing fast to support more APIs and edge cases, so you can focus on building your app instead. Also mirrored on https://codeberg.org/TootSDK/TootSDK 🚀

One of my favorite podcasts, @waveformpodcast, posted an episode today doing an explainer on the Fediverse. It's always nice seeing (relatively) mainstream outlets talk about it!
Hello Fediverse!
Today we're taking another important step in our journey to fully federate Flipboard.
This morning we federated 1,000 Flipboard Magazines curated by the publishers we have been testing federation with in addition to 20 new publishers we are federating today. These include magazines like Adventure Travel by Outside, Eater DC by Eater, Explore NYC by Thrillist, Throwbacks by SPIN, and Climate Tech by Bloomberg.
Flipboard Magazines are a simple way to curate articles, images, videos and podcasts into a thematic feed. This powerful curation tool has been at the heart of Flipboard since 2012 with millions of magazines curated since about recipes, road trips, architecture, books, tech trends and so much more.
Federated magazines become native #ActivityPub feeds and can be followed by anyone on Mastodon. For example, check out my Following the Fediverse magazine @following-the-fediverse-mike
I believe that thoughtfully curated feeds have the power to make social media a lot more effective and inspiring so I'm excited to bring millions of these magazines to the #Fediverse as we federate all public curators in the next few weeks.
Check out my Medium post for more details along with a list of some of the great magazines we federated today.

There is one more thing ;)
Those of you who subscribe to my blog via RSS already know, and now it's the #fediverse community's turn!
I am releasing a photo e-book!
"4xKungsleden" contains mainly photographs from 4 trips on the trail but there are also some thoughts that are important to me and hopefully to the readers.
The work is nearly completed. As a teaser, I'm posting the cover art and I'll keep you informed on what happens next.

Today, we’re announcing the second phase of our Flipboard federation test: Flipboard Magazines are coming to the Fediverse! Now, you’ll be able to follow content from 1,000 Magazines, organized by themes and topics — so you can get FanSided’s Los Angeles Lakers stories, but nothing about the Yankees. Take a look at @mike’s post, which explains all you need to know about this.

В общем, эксперимент с #Firefish можно считать законченным. Там #Markdown не дружит с кириллицей. Поэтому, кто подписался взаимно на мои акки на https://infosec.town и https://dvd.chat — можете, в принципе, отписываться, использовать я буду только второй и только для постинга картиночек с бустом сюда.
P.S. кто пропустил пост про https://dvd.chat — повторюсь: там дают 200 гигабайт (!) места; он не пережимает картинки и не режет EXIF; можно выкладывать вообще любые типы файлов помимо картинок. #Misskey #Fediverse #mastodon
Here’s a recent update by @mike about the #fediverse, and #flipboard ’s role in federating magazines and content https://flipboard.medium.com/federating-flipboard-magazines-8c071dfad345 #activitypub #reading #Community #education #flipboardusergroup https://flipboard.medium.com/federating-flipboard-magazines-8c071dfad345
It's vacation-planning time (and also Travel Tuesday), so here are a few federated Magazines to follow, whether you're looking for gear recommendations, ideas for family travel, outdoor adventures, restaurant suggestions in the world's best cities (we want to visit NYC) or hotel tips.

Folks on Mastodon, to hide the current deluge of spam:
1. Settings -> Filters
2. Add new filter
3. Add a title (e.g., Spam)
4. Select all the context checkboxes
5. Set Filter Action to Hide Completely
6. Add the following keyword with a hash (#) before it: 診断メーカー

We'd like to recognize the valuable contributions from two developers who participated in Korea's #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy) program. Both contributors identified important gaps in #Fedify's functionality and documentation, providing thoughtful solutions that benefit the broader #ActivityPub ecosystem.
@gaebalgom contributed PR #365, addressing issue #353 regarding NodeInfo parser compatibility, originally reported by @andypiper. The issue arose when Fedify incorrectly rejected #NodeInfo documents from snac instances due to overly strict version string parsing that required semantic versioning compliance. Their solution improves the fallback behavior in the parseSoftware() function to handle non-SemVer version strings by parsing dot-separated numbers and defaulting to zero for missing components. The implementation includes thorough test coverage for various edge cases, including single numbers (3), two-part versions (2.81), and malformed version strings. This fix provides immediate compatibility improvements across the fediverse while maintaining backward compatibility, and will be included in Fedify 1.9. The contribution serves as an interim solution, with a more comprehensive fix planned for Fedify 2.0 (issue #366), where the NodeInfo software.version field will be changed from the SemVer type to a plain string to fully comply with the NodeInfo specification.
@z9mb1 contributed PR #364, resolving issue #337 by adding practical examples for Fedify's custom collection dispatchers feature. Custom collections were introduced in Fedify 1.8 but lacked clear documentation for developers seeking to implement them. Their contribution provides a comprehensive example demonstrating how to set up custom collections for tagged posts, including proper routing patterns, pagination handling, and counter functionality. The example includes mock data structures, shows how to configure collection dispatchers with URL patterns like /users/{userId}/tags/{tag}, and demonstrates the complete request/response cycle using federation.fetch(). This work provides developers with a clear, runnable reference that reduces the complexity of implementing custom collections in ActivityPub applications.
We appreciate these meaningful contributions that help make Fedify more accessible and robust for the entire ActivityPub community.
