Did you just join us?
Welcome to Vivaldi Social, Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If you are coming from a place like X, Facebook or TikTok, this place is different. The good thing is that you only see things in your feed from people you follow. The content is shown reverse chronological.
This means that you will likely see a lot less misinformation, hate speech and AI crap.
But if you do not follow anyone, your feed will feel empty. So go ahead and find people and organizations that you like and follow them. Make things interesting. There is a lot of interesting people out there.
The search is great for finding content and who to follow. Hashtags are useful when searching as well.

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

One way ActivityPub can be extended is — through JSON-LD namespaces.
For example, many Fediverse servers use the following JSON-LD namespace to specify cryptographic public-key(s) for the user.
(This particular namespace is an HTTPS URL.)
...
But, does extant Fediverse software support cryptographic public-key(s) well?

As Mastodon and other services grow, take the time to learn how to “verify” yourself. It’s simple: add a link to your profile page, then add a rel=me link to the headers of your website, linking back to your Mastodon profile. It shows a checkmark on your link, and can help other users verify that you are who you say you are
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.
From release notes: "New command-line option 'refresh', to refresh all follower." Do you feel refreshed my friends? 😉

@andypiper just said at #FOSDEM that 2 years ago Mastodon had a booth. Last year Fediverse had half a day. This year, there's a FULL TRACK of #fediverse !
THAT is growth! That is EXCITEMENT! That is people spreading this thing. Keep up the amazing work ALL of you!
ALL OF US MAKE THIS WORK!
And I am so grateful to you for it.
Anyone with a #cheatsheet for the #fediverse?
We are looking for #tutorials or guides to help cultural organizations planning their social media presence on the fediverse. :)
For example: an organization has a social media manager and wants to switch from corporate social media to decentralized ones. How to restructure such workflows in the fediverse? Mastodon or pixefed? Both accounts?
Are there some examples of best practices?

A Day In The Flower Field:
Beneath a sky painted in soft pastels, the flower field hums with a secret melody—petals waltzing on the breeze, whispering stories only the wind understands. https://1-lisas-baker.pixels.com/featured/a-day-in-the-flower-field-lisa-s-baker.html

A Crowdsourced Photo Gallery from the Fediverse – the Open Social Web in action
Here are some nice photos from around the fediverse: https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/. That page updates automatically as new photos are posted.
How did they get there? Well…
People from all over Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and more posted photos into these communities:
https://piefed.social/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/japanpics
… and a few others. Moderators curate those communities to filter out anything obnoxious and people upvote the best ones.
Jerry used his PieFed account to create a “Feed” of 6 photography communities at https://feddit.online/f/photos. In PieFed a Feed is a bundle of communities with all their content shown together in a list. Those communities can be on any Lemmy, PieFed or Mbin instance. In the sidebar you can see all the communities in the Feed. That feed can be Followed, just like an account on Mastodon can be.
Someone on https://piefed.social followed ~photos@feddit.online (the ~ distinguishes it from a person, which uses @ at the start) which created this: https://piefed.social/f/photos@feddit.online. (Following a feed automatically subscribes one to all the communities within and if Jerry adds a new community to the feed all the subscribers auto-follow the new community. But I digress).
The author of home.scoobysnack.net looked up PieFed’s API spec and wrote some JavaScript which uses PieFed’s API to retrieve all the photos in the feed on piefed.social:
GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?feed_id=47&limit=40&page=1&nsfw=Exclude&minimum_upvotes=0
… and finally their JavaScript displays the images.
So the journey these photos took went through 6 steps:
Mastodon / PixelFed / author -> Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin communities -> Feddit.online feed -> PieFed.social feed -> PieFed.social API -> home.scoobysnack.net
I think that’s pretty cool.

Once upon a time, I was very active on MySpace and then Facebook. Then things got really shitty, so I quit and joined BlueSky.
I felt horrible, like the smallest bit of the code, unrecognized, shouting into the void for robots and scammers. But it a good place, right? And then they banned trans people while bringing in the authoritarians.
So, I thought all social media is bad, and I should try and get a website going where I could shout at the void on my own space.
I came across @_elena and started playing around with PeerTube. I saw @firesidefedi talking about exciting things, connecting with real people, and rebuilding that good time I used to have being online.
It was exciting, but I wasn't sure. And then @TIBtv came on, and I was blown away. My people! There they are!
I hope other people like me quit lurking quietly and join in. It's fantastic here on the #fediverse
