Embarrassed to say I completely missed the publication of this project site for Mastodon’s fedidiscovery project.
It aims to improve searching and discovery of content across instances work in an opt-in, decentralized manner.
By request, I've tried to do a guide for organisations that are interested in joining Mastodon and the Fediverse:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/tips-for-organisations-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
Any kind of feedback would be appreciated, especially if you are involved with an organisation of any kind.

ふと思い立って配信を始め2週めに突入
ホラー映画👻やらディズニーごはん🏰やら魔法ワールド🪄やらのトークテーマを毎日設けて話してるのが良かったのか、私とは縁遠い世界だと思ってた割に違和感なく楽しめているし、毎回のように聞きに来てくれる人もいて嬉しいかぎり
リスナーさんもそうだし、活動してる人のジャンルや年齢層が幅広いのもあって居心地悪くない感じです
そうそう、私のに限らずライブ配信を聞いてみたいなーという方、まだ未登録なら私の招待コードで初回特典が貰えるらしいので良かったらご活用くださいませ
コードの発行数には限りがあるそうだから、使ってみたい方はお早めがいいかもです

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.
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?

We just released #Mastodon 4.4.1, a small patch release fixing a few issues with 4.4.0.
We recommend to install this version instead of 4.4.0 when you update your server.
Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.1

#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 
😆

Evidently, I ruffled some feathers of a certain sort of people on a "Quiet Public" discussion by saying something that's not even that crazy.
They're reporting me en masse, even reporting posts that are completely unrelated to that discussion. They're seething because they can't accept that not everyone is going to have the same opinion on the Fediverse.
They want an echo chamber. Don't let them have it. Stand for digital freedom.

✅ Só li ese post hoje e ele não está errado.
✅ Esse negócio de entrar num perfil e não ver os posts é muito comum aqui.
✅ Esse amadorismo dos administradores de instâncias acontece muito aqui no Brasil também.
✅ Falta de caixa de entrada para mensagens é mesmo um problema.
✅ A migração é realmente limitada. Também acho que deveria trazer o conteúdo.

⭕ Entendo a decepção, mas não acho que o administrador da instância esteja errado em limitar os bots. Creio que ele deveria ter escolhido uma instância própria para isso.
⭕ E minha experiência no Bluesky foi tão ruim que já exclui minha conta (agora só tenho um clone do Mastodon lá).

🆕 Out now: our study on #academic staff engagement on #Mastodon
🔗 Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839
💡 While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone
➡️Ethical concerns drive adoption
➡️Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
➡️Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth
