Do we still have to call them "toot" even if we are using #Snac2 instead of #Mastodon?

I'd say: no ..

From what I’m seeing if you mute someone for a few hours or days on mastodon, the mute doesn’t work if you’re viewing a list. Right?

Any of you fine folks go full Fedi?

I hear ...#Mastodon for Twitter, #Friendica for Facebook, #Matrix for Discord, #Pixelfed for Instagram, #Peertube for YouTube, #Owncast for Twitch, and #Lemmy/#mbin for Reddit.

Am I missing anything? I'd like to take a look at what is out there.

When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».

The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.

B for the effort, but please editors do better!

With the latest update to #Mastodon's web app, we show you a little reminder when you're about to post a picture without adding alt text. Alt text is crucial for accessibility, but has other perks too, such as making it much easier to search for your post—or filter it. Of course, the reminder can be simply toggled off in preferences.

A screenshot of the Mastodon web app, showing a modal dialog titled "Add alt text?". It reads: "Your post contains media without alt text. Adding descriptions helps make your content accessible to more people." The buttons below are "Cancel", "Post anyway" and "Add alt text".

Periodisk påmindelse:
Her på #Mastodon er det DIG der er algoritmen

Det dit engagement der påvirker om andre også får set det indlæg du kiggede på - og måske synes er væsentligt - og ikke som på kommercielle SoMe hvor algoritmerne fremmer indlæg (til gavn for annoncørerne)

Så tag lige og bruge et par sekunder på at overveje og et indlæg skal boostes - inden du scroller videre

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight mentions #Mastodon and #PixelFed as alternatives that are "not as desperate to fall in line with trump".

Ce petit bout d'interface est vraiment génial sur Phanpy. En gros, il apparaît sur tous les pouets où l'auteur ou l'autrice a répondu directement à son propre pouet, ou est la réponse à un de ses propres pouets, créant de facto un thread/fil.

Comme ça, on comprend tout de suite que soit il faut « ouvrir » le pouet pour voir la suite, soit qu'on peut comprendre le contexte avec ce qui a été publié avant.

J'aimerais vraiment voir apparaitre ça sur toutes les interfaces

@trunksapp My contribution to #GlobalSwitchDay? I've just finished the translation to Dutch of the magnificent #trunks for #Mastodon app 😇. So glad to reach the 100% mark this Sunday evening!

▶️ Become a #translator as well! Check out https://crowdin.com/project/trunkssocial. The #Crowdin interface is user-friendly and offers translation suggestions to speed up the process. I spread the translation over multiple weeks. You could also look for a partner in crime 😉.

Happy tooting!

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.

Periodically, I see people upset that #Bluesky has become the default alternative to #Twitter instead of #Mastodon. So we need to understand why that happened:

Bluesky simply has a better UI/UX for Twitter users than Mastodon because it basically is Twitter whereas Mastodon is its own thing
When the Twitter migration happened in November 2022, those who managed to get a Mastodon account found that navigating Mastodon’s unwritten social norms was difficult
Mastodon already had a pre-existing community, one that clashed with mainstream Twitter – whereas there was no community on Bluesky when Twitter users migrated there
Certain marginalized groups, such as Black folk, found a hostile environment here, and many who have stayed remain here because they believe in the tech despite the community that exists around it

I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.

That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?

Obviously, to Mastodon.

But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.
