There is a new setting for server operators in #Mastodon 4.4, under Administration -> Server Settings -> Discovery, called "Allow external sites to see your Mastodon server as a traffic source". If you're running a server for a larger group of people there is no privacy downside to enabling this, and it will help make the fediverse more visible as a traffic source to the rest of the web.
Until now, I have declined illustration-only work,
but moving forward, I’ve decided to start accepting illustration requests as much as I can.
If you're even a little interested, feel free to reach out via DM or email me at the address below.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).
This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.
The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.
Are you planning on allowing
your posts to be quoted by anyone once the Mastodon feature gets fully implemented later this year? 
📢
With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:
If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.
They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!
I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪
Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]
"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

#NoAds, #NoManipulation 🚫 Big Tech shapes opinions through targeted ads and polarizing content: #Opensource #socialmedia empowers #communities with transparent #moderation.
#Better #MentalHealth 🧠 Research shows that algorithm-driven feeds fuel anxiety and addiction: #ActivityPub platforms, like #Mastodon, avoid manipulative engagement tactics. (1/2)
I got a boost from @lisamelton and my $6.25/mo instance didn't break a sweat. Phew!
This is still one of the best #Mastodon themes out there 
😆
Edit: it's a default Mastodon flavour in the Glitch-soc fork:

They're all gone
Why are all the posters gone?
