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.

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?
Hear Tony answer these questions and more at:
Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?
Just include from:me in the search field.
Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.
If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)
If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

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!
We are working on the best way of sharing the 1,000 Magazines we've federated, but in the meantime, here's a taste of what you can now follow, which includes Magazines about news, politics, technology, science food, culture, travel, sports, and much more.

It finally works! 🤞🏼
Here is a table of more than 1000 journalists on #Mastodon, that updates itself – showing the ones most active, most followed etc. I took the wonderful table by @tchambers as foundation, but deleted some media organizations, so that it only contains accounts from people.
I want to make another for media accounts (and maybe even more 🤔).
Have a look!
#FediBlock snarfed.org and brid.gy for bridging fediverse folks to Bluesky against their will (and in likely contravention of GDPR in the EU) with typical Silicon Valley techbro sense of entitlement:
“[O]pt in results in far fewer users, and users are critical for a bridge to be useful.”¹

To all the Fediverse admins tonight,
I would like to send an immense THANK YOU from us Fedizens for all the hard work you do protecting our homes 🏡💚
You are our heroes.
Thank you 🏆✨
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
Hot on the heels of our earlier announcement, here's some more information on how to discover, follow and organize all those federated Magazines.

Perhaps a temp solution to the massive spam attacks hitting the #Fediverse can be quite simple:
For #Mastodon instances, they can add a hcaptcha on signup just before the email confirm: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#hcaptcha_site_key
So far this worked for us
my posting philosophy here in the #fediverse is "#mima sabi lang"
If you use AI-generated images in your posts, identify them as such please.
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
在Sora刚刚推出的今天,有人认为未来已来,有人认为世界终了。但不论如何,我相信大家都能在Fediverse里找到属于自己的空间。
