I think #mastodon.world should increase default character limit from 500 to 1,000 🤔

To people from #Gaza and those supporting them: You’re invited to use #FediForGaza, for connection.

If you’re from Gaza, it helps you connect with others, and reach support groups on the #Fediverse / #Mastodon. Replacing lists of recipients with #FediForGaza speaks to those who are listening, and it helps to avoid bans.

If you want to support people and groups from Gaza, follow #FediForGaza. Whether you favorite posts, boost, or donate: Visible feedback confirms they are seen, and supports them.

إلى أهل #غزة وإلى كل من يدعمهم: أنت مدعو لاستخدام #FediForGaza للتواصل.

إذا كنت من غزة، فسيساعدك ذلك على التواصل مع الآخرين والوصول إلى مجموعات الدعم على #Fediverse / #Mastodon. استبدل قوائم المستلمين الطويلة بـ #FediForGaza للتحدث إلى أولئك الذين قالوا إنهم يستمعون، وللمساعدة على تجنب الحظر.

إذا كنت ترغب في دعم الأشخاص والمجموعات من غزة، فاتبع #FediForGaza. سواء أعجبت بالمنشورات أو أعدت نشرها أو تبرعت: فإن التفاعل الواضح يؤكد لهم أن منشوراتهم قد شوهدت، ويدعمهم.

#Mastodon is fun at parties!

Hello #Mastodon Je relaie l’appel à l’aide de Willy anti-gaspi, épicerie anti-gaspillage en ligne qui traverse une période difficile : après un fort succès en début d’année, les commandes ont baissé et l’entreprise risque de fermer. Les fondateurs demandent de l’aide.

Dans cette épicerie, il y a plein de produits à sauver de la poubelle, du bio, parfois encore consommables 6 mois 1 an (ce qui n’est pas assez pour la grande distribution).

Le repouet sauve les aliments de la poubelle.

Hello #Mastodon and the #Fediverse at large

We're down to the wire and there was no movement overnight at all

We're stuck at $470 to cover the hotel

We need the FULL AMOUNT in less than 2 hrs

I'm terribly scared, my period came early again and my body won't stop shaking

Please, anyone can #boost and anyone able to give 1, 3, 5 or 25 it all adds up

Invisible Women, Data Bias in a World Designed For Men

...so much data fails to take into account gender...and women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, money, and often wtth their lives"

Trying to find more information on how the under-15 social media ban in France impacts Mastodon/fediverse servers, and while I can't see anything too concrete on that, I did come across this 2024 The Guardian article:

"The report said a 15-year-old should be able to access only what it called “ethical” social media, such as Mastodon."

Our club is at a breaking point. We've been renting land for our youth farming project, but rent piled up for over 5 months. We took loans just to clear that debt, and we're still fighting to keep up with rent every month.
We need to buy our own land so this never happens again — so no harvest is ever at risk.

I am still collecting feedback and I am open for your ideas.

https://ostkind.social ist offen

Ein Platz im Fediverse für alle, die mit Ostdeutschland etwas am Hut haben. Ob hier geboren und geblieben, irgendwann weggezogen und ein Stück Heimat vermissend, oder einfach neugierig auf den Osten und seine Leute. Von hier sein muss niemand, Interesse reicht.

Der Osten ist dabei kein Themenzwang, sondern der gemeinsame Nenner. Schreibt, worüber ihr wollt. Alltag, Arbeit, Musik, Politik, Katzen, Memes. Ostgeschichten und alte Erinnerungen gern, Zukunftspläne genauso, aber nichts davon muss.

Warum noch eine Instanz: Weil eine Handvoll Konzerne bestimmt, was wir sehen und sagen dürfen und ihre Eigentümer sich offen zu faschistischen Projekten bekennen. Das Fediverse ist anders gebaut. Viele kleine, unabhängige Server, die miteinander reden, ohne Konzern und ohne Algorithmus, der einem die Zeit stiehlt. Das Internet wieder ein Stück weit in viele Hände zu legen, finde ich wichtig.

Der Server steht in Deutschland, läuft ehrenamtlich und hält sich an den Mastodon Server Covenant. Anmelden kann sich jede und jeder, jeder Account wird von Hand freigegeben.

Betriebsinfos und Wartungen laufen über @ostkind

Oh nice, it sounds like Mastodon's own implementation of the Fediscovery service, called Fediscoverer, is coming along!

"Multiple bugs have also been fixed and we are planning to start testing it on heavy traffic servers soon, before making it available for everyone."

Hey friends, it's me again

We have more news to share today, though I must admit, this news is a little less fun.

Recently, the @Mastodon team received a fair number of questions about our trade mark policy. We realised we could add some guidelines to help make the Policy more clear, so over the last few months, we did just that! I'll post a "plain English" version of the guidelines as a comment.

You can read more background about the changes we made, and see the guidelines themselves, in this blog post:
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/sharing-guidelines-about-mastodons-trade-mark-policy/

And the trade mark policy page is updated too:

Hi #Mastodon we only have 26hrs to meet this #urgent #MutualAidRequest and nothing came in overnight

I'm in desperate need for my community to keep fighting for me and my elderly mom to survive

She's been incredibly unwell from the lack of food and also picking up om my stress, it's endangering both of us

We need 615 for shelter and have nothing for food!

OK, if someone wants to explain why the #fediverse decided Bandcamp is satan last month, I'd be grateful. I'm seeing the fallout but don't know the story.

Edit: Apparently it's that a shitty company owns them now and is doing union busting stuff and laying people off left and right.

The rest of my original post below

Searching of mainstream news hasn't shown anything yet, and looking here on #mastodon gives me loads and loads of (possibly delightful) music recommendations with the #bandcamp hashtag. I'm not seeing a rundown of the controversy, yet. So if you know, I hope you'll drop a word.

one thing to watch out for when supporting #fedihood with a #mastodon api client is that remote account IDs are in the form of a url, so you need to percent encode it when incorporating into an endooint

Here's what I wish people know about asking help 4 a sick pet,

Its about standing in vet's office, hearing a diagnosis u half-understand & then being handed a number that makes u feel sink at bottom. Its about going home & sitting alone trying to process all at once.

My cat has Feline Calicivirus (FCV) The treatment requires meds & vaccine that cost is ₱3400 (Vet Bill not included)

Hi #Mastodon we only have until Thursday July 30th 11 AM ET to cover our hotel, we cannot tolerate the rollercoaster of not having consistent care!

Some jerk was complaining that they saw the same #urgent post within days well ofc! We're getting dropped again and again

My system is shutting down, has been since yesterday. Todd is exhausted and beyond spent. Mom gets completely dysregulated when I'm crying and shaking and trying to beg for my needs to be met.
