<p>How to reply to a post on Fedi:</p><p>1. Begin writing a sassy reply, but start to worry that it will be misunderstood.<br>2. Discard reply without posting.<br>3. Start writing a sincere reply. Continue until you have written a 5000 character, multi paragraph screed.<br>4. Discard without posting.<br>5. Start a new reply where you try to phrase your screed as succinctly as possible.<br>5. Give up and discard without posting.<br>6. Just click the star button on the post instead ⭐</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p>

<p>I'm trying to decide how much of "quote posts" I want to support in <a href="https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec" rel="nofollow">Ktistec</a>. On one hand, it's not trivial functionality, and I really do question how much extra value someone's comments on someone else's post will add to the Fediverse. On the other hand, I dunno... assuming Mastodon limits abuse by enforcing quoting rules, Ktistec could probably just follow along and display quoted posts. Is there any value in just that?</p><p><a href="/tags/ktistec/" rel="tag">#ktistec</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#activitypub</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p>

Release v2.4.15 of Ktistec
<p>Experimental support for multiple users landed with Ktistec <a href="https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/releases/tag/v2.4.15" rel="nofollow">release v2.4.15</a>. "Experimental" means that it works for me, but hasn't seen enough testing for me to call it "ready for production". With that said, it's unlikely you'll lose your data.</p><p>There are lots of intentional design decisions that fit my vision for Ktistec but may surprise you. Here they are:</p><p>Every user is an administrator. That doesn't mean users have access to each other's posts and data, but it does mean all users have access to the shared parts of the site—they can change the site description, for example—and they can add new users. So only add people you trust.</p><p>If you want to add another user, create an account for them and give them their username and password. There is no self-registration. There are no invitations.</p><p>Beyond adding a user, there is no support for user management. You can't even boot a user from your site. Users can delete themselves, however.</p><p>There is no support for content moderation. Only add people you trust.</p><p>TL;DR Multi-user support in Ktistec is suitable for small teams, families (biological or chosen), and your personal avatars. There are better tools for online communities.</p><p>Here's the full set of changes:</p><p>Added</p><p>Add support for multiple user accounts.</p><p>Fixed</p><p>Hide attachments behind the summary.

<p>The Fediverse is deliberately spread out on thousands of independent servers running many types of software, which connect together to form a single social network.</p><p>But why is it like this?

<p>Mountains.social is a Mastodon server focusing on hiking, mountaineering, climbing, backpacking and the outdoors:</p><p><img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/social.growyourown.services/Fediverse.png" class="emoji" alt=":Fediverse:" title=":Fediverse:"> <a href="https://mountains.social" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>mountains.social</a></p><p>Mountains.social has an extended post size of 2362 characters per post.</p><p>You can find out more at <a href="https://mountains.social/about" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>mountains.social/about</a> or contact the admin <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mountains.social/@bergmeister" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bergmeister</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="/tags/featuredserver/" rel="tag">#FeaturedServer</a> <a href="/tags/mountains/" rel="tag">#Mountains</a> <a href="/tags/climbing/" rel="tag">#Climbing</a> <a href="/tags/mountaineering/" rel="tag">#Mountaineering</a> <a href="/tags/hiking/" rel="tag">#Hiking</a> <a href="/tags/backpacking/" rel="tag">#Backpacking</a> <a href="/tags/outdoors/" rel="tag">#Outdoors</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/freefediverse/" rel="tag">#FreeFediverse</a></p>
<p>Is anyone using <a href="https://fedify.dev" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedify.dev</a>? Has it been good for you in production? I have a tiny app idea that would be an excellent fit for activitypub, but I also don't want to spend too much time implementing the federation bits.</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/indieweb/" rel="tag">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="/tags/indiedev/" rel="tag">#IndieDev</a></p>
<p>Looks like there may well be a surge of users from Blacksky and the other "alternative" ATProto instances checking out the Fedi, or reactivating old accounts, given that they're now discovering that ATProto is a Potemkin Village of decentralization and that BSky still hold all the cards.</p><p>This time, can we please try not to act like assholes / the HOA while they find their feet.</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#activitypub</a> <a href="/tags/atproto/" rel="tag">#atproto</a></p>
Crawler Update
<div class="article-body">
<p>My crawler updates are doing a better job than I expected finding some of the smaller servers, expect some crazy numbers for a few more days as we dig in deeper to the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> and see who is out there!</p><p><a href="https://gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime/-/commit/99e7945affb1ccba679af66a344187c19ed79bb0" rel="nofollow">gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime/…</a></p>

<p>I have a very simple goal: Gain more followers than <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>lisamelton</span></a></span> and therefore claim title as Benevolent Ruler of the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>.</p>
