I have a Mastodon List of "Group Accounts", which makes for a good timeline of discussions around specific topics.
I have no idea how @phanpy would accomplish this, but it would be cool to have a type of "Catch Up" page where posts are organized by Group Account, sorted by date and thread.
I mean at that point you might as well just visit PieFed or NodeBB! But it would be nice. :)
Dica para quem tem mais de um perfil nesta #Federação:Acho ótimo, ao ver algo com uma das contas, poder interagir com outra, algo que #Fedilab
permite de maneira muito útil e que sinto falta em outros ambientes.No exemplo capturado, pretendia — resolvi escrever isto primeiro — abrir uma publicação de @cadusilva, vista a partir do perfil do Snac, com outro perfil entre os quatro registrados no Fedilab, de domínios e sistemas diferentes: #Akkoma, #Mastodon, #Snac e #Pixelfed.
Isso está disponível de forma ágil ao pressionarmos longamente botões de responder, impulsionar, favoritar, bem como quando compartilhamos algo do Android com o Fedilab: ele pergunta com qual conta desejamos redigir a publicação.

In the latest episode of #DotSocial I interview @snarfed.org, a passionate bridge builder with a focus on connecting people across the open web and the #fediverse. His latest work, #BridgyFed, connects #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol resulting in excitement, critique and *lots* of discussion.
Ryan and I talk about the parallel communities on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, their shared desire to create an open social web and the pros and cons of their underlying protocols, #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol. Can or should these be bridged? If so, how? As whole new communities continue to join the fediverse, how should the user experience evolve?
Listen to this excellent discussion on our @PeerTube instance or wherever you get your #podcasts.

These unofficial Mastodon accounts of space agencies are bots that merely share news items the agencies publish elsewhere, yet the accounts have quite a lot of followers:
- NASA: @nasa 71K followers
- ESA: @esa 1.4K followers
There's an unfulfilled demand for public institutions to communicate on open and independent platforms.

#Mastodon trust and safety people, I need your help
I'm trying to understand how "Quiet Public" is used. In nearly every UX discussion I have with people the vast majority not only don't understand it, but it actively confuses them.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't have it, but I would like people to at least know WHY we have this. Given you can already opt out of search results w/ a setting, why you wouldn't just use "Followers only" instead?
All https://fedihost.co #Mastodon instances have been updated to v4.4.7
Thank you!

🆕 blog! “Getting started with Mastodon's Quote Posts - technical implementation details for servers”
Quoting posts on Mastodon is slightly complex. Because of the privacy conscious nature of the platform and its users, reposting isn't merely a case of sharing a URl.
A user writes a status. The user…

🎂 Congrats @microformats.org on 20 years! #microformats20
Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #microformats:
* @artlung.com: "WML, WAP, & Microformats Demo!" (https://lab.artlung.com/wml/faux)
> Because WML elements may have the class attribute
Originally posted 2025-06-18: https://xoxo.zone/@artlung/114705990062730513
That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:
* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4
* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml
Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.
In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.
Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.
After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.
More microformats 20th anniversary posts from the #indieweb personal sites (via https://stream.indieweb.org/)
* @manton.org: "It’s the 20th anniversary of the launch of microforrmats.org!" (https://www.manton.org/2025/06/20/its-the-th-anniversary-of.html)

“Nobody’s on Mastodon, it’s dying” sir my mama’s pretty quilt can get 300 likes and a bajillion boosts on here in no time with no algorithm I think Mastodon is doing JUST FINE #mastodon #JohnMastodon
Sorry, not sorry in advance.
Stop trying to get people to come to #mastodon as if it’s any better than #bluesky. This place has deep, WEIRD issues it needs to address. Not only do you have the same (if not WORSE) problems with racism, general creepiness, and platforming known sociopaths, you also have the detriment of being confusing on a technical level.
It’s Liberal racism (masto) vs Corporate racism (BS) and ALL will lose in the long run unless you address it. As is with every site, ever.
I just want to inform you all that I've decided to grant you total freedom of post length, within your specified server limit. I release you from interrogation and scrutiny as to detail level and subject matter range. Your interests are valid, even though I might not agree with them or like them. Even the ones which reveal an uncomfortable and even - gasp - affronting level of technical depth. Geeks and nerds, after all, are a strong majority of the Mastodon users. The #Mastodon platform's builtin abilities to specify and enforce instance policy and regulation, follow, unfollow, filter, report, mute and block, etc. shall be my accepted resorts of recourse (as opposed to narcissistic negging, gaslighting, and triangulation, as my entitled, aggro policing mechanisms as to what you can and can't post, subject to my approval, which might come drifting past my timelines).
You may use this as a - get this - microblogging platform, I hereby officially permit it. It needn't be just the social status game that so many others can't see it as being anything other than.

I have a mastodon question for people more into activitypub than I am:
Is there any project where you can host your own instance of something that's *like* old deviantart, but also activitypub compatible?
So like, the ability to follow and be followed, plus uploading images, but also a customisable gallery of those images, and customisable homepage for users?

Just want to say that I am new here. I had tried and failed to navigate discord and I could never make it work. But, I have found this experience to be so much easier and welcoming. Thanks.
