Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/01996401-5448-91c3-6b99-781bc3b76916

The problem with building a closed social network is that it sets up an all or nothing premise for users. They might like some of the signature features but they'll leave if there's not enough people to network with. That's a shame and a huge barrier to innovation and new social products.

The #fediverse changes that forever. People can now use the features they like from a mix of apps across a common network of people. This means we can take a whole new approach to how "social" and "media" should work including discovery, user experience and monetization that will be far healthier than anything we've had in the past.

😂 That was odd! When I mentioned @darnell@flipboard.com on my #WordPress blog, it pinged my #Flipboard account on my iPhone even though #ActivityPub is not yet activated (I received a push notification, which later revealed nothing 😆).

If it pings again via #Mastodon, I might do various tests upon other #Fediverse accounts (like #Misskey & #Threads).

I am attending FediForum on October 7th & 8th.

See you there?

Lemmy is so much nicer than Reddit. Specially with the Voyager client.

#fediverse #mastodon #lemmy

With the addition of the @ktistec account, Ktistec (the server) now supports multiple users.

I still have a few rough edges to fix, but there's a good chance official multi-user support will be included in the next release.

More updates to #Bandwagon are now live on https://bandwagon.fm, including a beautiful embeddable player, Federation improvements, and upgrades to the core application.

We're continuing to move the #Fediverse forward for #Musicians and #Artists

Let me know how it works for you, and what would be the best next thing to work on.

Desde mi página web https://www.autumn64.xyz se puede acceder a todos mis pasatiempos y actividades que realizo en internet. Recuerden que hosteo desde mi casa y se va la luz a menudo, por lo que no puedo prometer un uptime del 100%. En caso de que la página no sea accesible el mirror está en https://autumn64.codeberg.page

En cuanto a los servicios web está activa la instancia de SearXNG (metabuscador) y de Redlib (frontend alternativo para Reddit). También subí algunos documentos y un libro que me faltaba publicar en el apartado de Artículos y Libros.

¡Muchas gracias por todo el apoyo!

@mike Now that Flipboard is #fediverse interactive, can a Flipboard account be used with a Mastodon client? I want to set my wife up with a Mastodon account and I’m wondering if we can just use her Flipboard account? #InquiringMinds #SocialMedia

Threads is the largest player so far to adopt #ActivityPub, and as @mike says, “The implications are huge.”

Why is Threads doing this? How is the team working with the community? How are they thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
In the newest episode of @dot_social, Mike digs in with @rklambo, Director of Product Management, and @pcottle, Software Engineer. Check it out in the fediverse on PeerTube or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. More details here:
