Today is #WWDC24, Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. To mark this, and to add even more tech to the fediverse, we've federated the Flipboard accounts of 10 tech publishers.
Follow their profiles for everything they publish, and specific Magazines (topical feeds of content) if you're interested only in particular types of story (we're big fans of We Distribute's Across the Fediverse Magazine, @across-the-fediverse-WeDistribute).

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.
I'd like to see the fediverse celebrate this year's #juneteenth by lifting up Black voices, and making Black people feel more welcome here.
To people who feel really strongly about quote boosts, putting content warnings on people's lived experience, and denying all the evidence of racism being prevalent here, maybe take a break for just one day.
The last time I asked for donations here, the fediverse delivered. So many more people care about investigating abuses of trust in the public interest on Mastodon than on any other social network. If you have the ability, please consider donating to ProPublica today: https://give.propublica.org/give/346423/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=ben-mastodon
A good read: "Want to build your audience? Consider the #fediverse https://digitalcontentnext.org/blog/2024/06/11/want-to-build-your-audience-consider-the-fediverse/
I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.
I've gone live!

One of the powerful things about the Fediverse and Social Web is that people can follow you from anywhere!
People from the same server you are on.
But also people from other servers can follow you.
Should the ability for people on other servers to follow you be OFF by default?
And, only people on the same server you are on can follow you by default?

"You can't have #fediverse without #diverse" - @jaz Fireside Fedi Episode 50. :-D Love it! Totally stealing it.
Some people say navigating the #Fediverse is challenging, but there are often clear signs.
Can I ask a favour?
If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website https://fedi.tips?
I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. I'm especially keen to help new people who want easy-to-understand advice, but they won't see me and I won't see them unless someone tags me.
Thanks 🙏
We're so glad to hear the WebSocialBR was a hit! 🇧🇷
A huge thanks to everyone who got involved and made it happen.
We're also super excited that our partnership with Ibram-Museus to build a "Museums in the Fediverse" app was announced 🎉
Huge thanks to @josemurilo for introducing our work to WebSocialBR and for putting your presentation into such an amazing blog post👇

ICYMI: this is my #Mastodon "origin story" – the reason why I'm going all in on the #Fediverse this year, starting with this platform: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-is-federated/
I'm hoping to recruit more friends and professional contacts over here.
The post includes mentions of some of my favorite accounts including @bookgaga @molly0xfff @triketora @film_girl @fj (if you have advice about how to get more people on Mastodon, I'm all ears)
PL-FE is a web front end for #Fediverse services inc #Mastodon by @mkljczk that:
- does update timeline upon new posts but doesn't blank timeline & jump to top like regular Masto does now (for me at least)
- free-libre
- up to date
- full featured
- suitable for narrow, single-column use (e.g. during #WatchParty)
- Bonus: can schedule posts or save draft for later

Did you know there is a book called "Mastodon For Dummies"?
It's part of the widely read and well known 'For Dummies' series.
This is the cover of the one I brought home from my local library.
Does your library have a copy? If not, maybe you can suggest a new acquisition! It's only 14.99 US, 17.99 CAN, and 11.99 UK.
