🐭 Real question:
Sometimes I read negative comments about #Lemmy or even calls to defederate...
Why do some people on the #Fediverse feel so strongly about Lemmy?
Isn't an #opensource alternative to #Reddit a good thing?
WRT #BlueSky: I know some people are getting a lot of mileage out of it, and I don't want to detract from that.
But whenever I log in after having been away for more than a couple of hours, I almost universally have to block a bot. Sometimes several. I feel like I spend more time blocking bots than interacting with humans.
And that's on top of the fact that blocking a user doesn't remove them from your followers list. At least, thankfully, they've started hiding blocked accounts on your publicly-viewable followers list, but this still artificially inflates follower counts. And there are still no polls, no way to increase max post length, etc.
Don't get me wrong, there are also some good things that Mastodon and other Fedi services could bear adopting (access controls for replies, quote boosts, etc). But still. Bots everywhere. Plus the fact that _here_ is where my posts actually get boosted, even on my other account with only 30some followers.
I'm not going to delete BlueSky, but for now, #Mastodon and the #Fediverse really are where it's at.
Lots of new folks taken interest in to Mastodon, because of Meta. Let's welcome new people 
Some of you have already heard of us as #Fedify Studio. We now have a proper name: DrFed, short for “Doctor Fed.” We've also just received funding from @nlnet, through the NGI0 Commons Fund.
#DrFed is a web app for debugging #ActivityPub interoperability failures. When two implementations don't federate, the slow part is usually figuring out where the exchange broke: signing, JSON-LD processing, WebFinger, or something less obvious. DrFed's first job is to show where it failed.
We're the team behind @fedify: @2chanhaeng, @gaebalgom, @hongminhee, and @z9mb1. We'll post updates when there's something to try.
#Fediverse
Wow! The #fediverse compatible and #selfhosted #podcasting platform #castopod has it's own index which will allow you to follow/comment/be alerted to new episodes from right here:)
*please boost for reach!
https://index.castopod.org/top50.html
Find a show, follow and enter your #mastodon or other fedi account and voila you will be alerted every time they post an episode. Thanks to #activitypub you can also interact! #feditips

I made a Pixelfed account on Pixelfed.social
Gonna play with it a little, and see if it makes me easy and comfortable to post photos. I do take a lot of pictures!!
Here it is! Give me a follow from either your mastodon account or Pixelfed if you have one!

I was really excited for the #Fediverse in 2024 and I think that feeling has borne out. Projects have released or started in earnest but so did the influenze of facebook, a long-term genocide and queer violence supporter who have this week changed their terms to expressly permit queerphobic and other vicious harms.
allfuckers.com 😒
The #US has "Truth Social" (build on Mastodon code) kinda as it's "official social media"
And #Europe has it's own #Mastodon instance in the #Fediverse
I know what I'd prefer!
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Lots of useful changes and fixes, woohoo! 🎉

Huge thanks to @grunfink and all contributers!! 👍

Sind sie reif für das #Fediverse ?
Sie probieren doch sonst jeden Scheiß aus, ob Youtube, Facebook oder WhatsApp.
Dann probieren sie doch einfach auch mal #pixelFed oder #peerTube oder #Mastodon oder #Friendica oder ...
I just want to take a moment to call out one particularly great contributor to the Fediverse, @dansup (aka @dansup@mastodon.social) and just say that Pixelfed and Loops are just great. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are!
If you want to know about Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org) or Loops (https://loops.video) check out their respective websites and send your props to Dan!

#Fedle received several fixes.
- Spanish now treats Ñ as its own letter, and its dictionary has been improved.
- It also fixes federation issues for #Misskey and #Sharkey.
- Announcements and results now have a dedicated tag per language, like #Fedle_es, #Fedle_en etc.
#Fedle is a daily word game on the #Fediverse.

Created a little intro to the Fediverse. Going to post this on proprietary apps. Feel free to distribute. :) #Fediverse
I know this is already on Mastodon team's radar, but I do want to stress how important this feature is.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/14762
We won't get rid of the racism and the mansplaining on the fediverse overnight, but giving people control over their replies would significantly improve everyone's experience, and make this place a lot more inviting.
