I’m glad I built my <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> communities on <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#Piefed</a>—because they’re rolling out a “move community” feature.<br><br>If site admins go toxic or a server is circling the drain, you won’t be trapped. You can just pick up and move elsewhere.<br><br>That’s the Fediverse’s killer feature, the one corporate social media can never match: the freedom to walk away.

<p>It's been a tough day of debugging for me, then I remembered this.. I needed to hear it, so maybe you do too, because it's true for every single one of us here on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>. </p><p>--<br>What you're doing here is important. Even simply being here is an act of defiance. No matter how big or small, your work and your presence here contributes to a better future. Yes, even if it's only cat pictures.</p><p>So: stay strong, tell a friend, and don't stop. Small steps, always forward.<br>--</p>

<p>Does mastodon have any concept of "follow a post"?

<p>Mastodon.me.uk - A Mastodon server providing open, user-supported, corporation-free social media for the UK.</p><p>This server has been online since 2017.</p><p><img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/social.growyourown.services/Fediverse.png" class="emoji" alt=":Fediverse:" title=":Fediverse:"> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>mastodon.me.uk</a></p><p>You can find out more at <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/about" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>mastodon.me.uk/about</a> or contact the admin <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/@Floppy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Floppy</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="/tags/featuredserver/" rel="tag">#FeaturedServer</a> <a href="/tags/uk/" rel="tag">#UK</a> <a href="/tags/unitedkingdom/" rel="tag">#UnitedKingdom</a> <a href="/tags/britain/" rel="tag">#Britain</a> <a href="/tags/british/" rel="tag">#British</a> <a href="/tags/greatbritain/" rel="tag">#GreatBritain</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>The bottomline rule is this: Never ever trust anyone asking you to <a href="/tags/verify/" rel="tag">#verify</a> or reset your keys and/or passwords. Ask first if you really need to confirm.</p><p>Yes, even if it is coming from what appears to be a legitimate email domain name because it can be spoofed!</p><p>Absolutely no one will ever ask you to verify your account in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> network. It is not part of the experience. Sure, there were third-party services who did this a few years back during the Twitter Migration 2.0 but those were primarily targeted to well-established accounts from Twitter (and usually journalists), not to random people. Not you. Not me. And was definitely not in a spammy way.</p><p>Always remember, if you are not sure, just ask. There is nothing wrong with asking. If people laughed at you or ridiculed you for asking about a "simple" or "common sense" thing, block them (maybe one day you'll have the last laugh too).</p><p>You know what "askx means?</p><p>A-sk, and it shall be given = intelligence<br>S-eek, and you shall find = knowledge<br>K-nock, and it shall be opened = wisdom</p><p>Remember, A.S.K.</p>
<a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#Pixelfed</a> and <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#Piefed</a> are not the same—and no, the similar names don’t make them cousins. They’re completely unrelated projects.<br><br>Pixelfed is for images. Think Instagram without Meta breathing down your neck.<br><br>Piefed is for communities. Think Reddit without the corporate overlords.<br><br>But here’s the beauty: both run on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>, which means they actually talk to each other. I’ve posted from Pixelfed right into Piefed—something you’ll never see in the walled gardens.
<p>A part of me wants to apologize to <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> and the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> for dragging that TERF platformer across the coals. I will not, however. </p><p>97.3% of the time, I mind my business. We talk about music, dabble in politics, you laugh at my corny jokes about struggling with python (and then send help), and post fun times from the Recording Academy parties.</p><p>However. Do not get it confused. When any person oppressed by hegemonic institutions is being attacked, I will speak, and it will be LOUD.</p>
<p>When I first started working with <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a>, before <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a> existed, it felt like writing web apps in Perl and CGI in the late '90s. Interesting, even exciting—but never comfortable. That era where your business logic and your protocol plumbing were just… the same thing:</p><p>print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"print "Content-Type: text/html"printprint "Hello, world!"</p><p>Decades of web development have given us layers of abstraction we now take for granted. Nobody hand-parses application/x-www-form-urlencoded query strings anymore. Nobody writes their own JSON codec, or manually constructs HTTP request/response messages. These things just aren't your problem when you're building an app.</p><p>ActivityPub development still feels like they are your problem. What do you do when the <a href="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#actor" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#actor"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#</span><span class="invisible">actor</span></a> property comes in as a string instead of an array? What about when <a href="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#object" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#object"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#</span><span class="invisible">object</span></a> is an embedded entity rather than a URI? How exactly do you implement HTTP Signatures? And wait—what's Linked Data Signatures, and do you need that too?</p><p>The real issue isn't that ActivityPub is complicated per se. It's that you can't get away with understanding it at a high level. You have to know it the way an implementor knows it—every edge case, every inconsistency in how different servers serialize JSON-LD, every signature scheme that exists in the wild. That's a lot to learn before you can even start thinking about your actual app. And when developers understandably cut corners on the protocol to focus on their product, it quietly becomes an interoperability problem for the whole ecosystem.</p><p>What I want ActivityPub development to feel like: you spend a day understanding the big picture, and then you just… build your app. That was the goal when I started Fedify, and honestly, we're not fully there yet. But it's where I want to get.</p><p><a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p>

<p>Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse</p><p>@selfhosted</p><p>Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others. </p><p>Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed. </p><p>Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004. </p><p>I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others. </p><p>So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@_elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>_elena</span></a></span> started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost. </p><p>Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros. </p><p>Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...</p><p>In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie. </p><p>Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it. </p><p>For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.</p><p>A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.</p><p>Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.</p><p>My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.</p><p>Hopefully share others' experiences as well! </p><p><a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/blind/" rel="tag">#blind</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/selfhost/" rel="tag">#selfhost</a> <a href="/tags/selfhosting/" rel="tag">#selfhosting</a> <a href="/tags/wordpress/" rel="tag">#WordPress</a> <a href="/tags/yunohost/" rel="tag">#YunoHost</a></p>
<p>Really enjoyed reading <span class="h-card"><a href="https://aoir.social/@rwg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rwg</span></a></span>’s “Move Slowly and Build Bridges”. I learned a lot of <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> history and philosophy. Makes me proud to be here and makes me want to learn from others who choose to make this place their digital home.</p>
