For #Fediverse app developers out there..
An app I would really LOVE would be a dedicated moderation app for #Mastodon
An relative easy way to deal with reports etc without a million clicks
The API is there 
And yes i could do it myself i guess

#introduction time! My name is Matt, I'm new to veganism.social, but not new to the #Fediverse. I first joined in 2018 on a #mastodon instance that's probably gone by now. I've been leaving and coming back over the years due to health and life circumstances, but I've been consistently back on for a while.
Anyways, I'm an #opensource web developer (#php / #vue), #punk / #metal musician, #anarchist, #antifascist as hell, #feminist, #ally, and hater of #bigtech and what #ai is doing to our planet. Speaking of our planet, I am a #vegan for health and ethical reasons, but I am not going to be shitty towards people if they're not.
I'm in the process of building out my own little spot on the #indieweb / #smallweb so I can return to running my mouth on a blog.
If I followed you, it's probably because we have common interests, or I enjoy your brand of #shitposting. Or you've activated my inner-geek with #startrek and #videogames.
Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. I hope the attached picture of Marvin the Mushroom has brightened your feed in some way.

I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅
Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it 
I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!
I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!
If you're new here, welcome! 😄

Hello (again), after a brief posting hiatus and a search for somewhere to migrate to, I am back on Mastodon! I've been on the fediverse since 2023 but grew tired of the mastodon.social experience and felt like it was time to spread my wings.
A bit about me: I'm a 30-something fellow living in midwestern USA who works two jobs and takes care of two pets at home. I love #retrocomputing #retrogaming #writing #webdesign #electronicmusic #nature and many more things I can't think to list at the moment.
I manage a community for PC gaming on 4:3 displays that has gained a significant following in recent times, you can check us out on #neocities here: https://doesit4by3.neocities.org/
Sometimes when I have free time and feel motivated (lol) I will write a few thousand words on tech and tech-adjacent subjects. You can read my work here: https://read-only.net/
All other relevant things I've shared on the web can be found on various parts of my website: https://rootcompute.neocities.org/
Glad to have found somewhere to land on my feet and I hope I'll be able to call c.im home on the fediverse for many years to come!

#emacs is a rabbit hole and I'm liking it :)

I reserve a special kind of revulsion for peep who fled #Twitter because of #ElonMusk, and then:
- found a welcoming home on #Mastodon,
- gathered a following here,
- saw launches of #bluesky, #threads
- decided to chase eyeballs there
- justified bluesky as "All my sources are here"
- bridged their corporate-controlled account to Mastodon
- THEN decided to stop posting/engaging directly on Mastodon because it was "too much work"
- THEN CONTINUE to exploit us only as passive eyeballs 🤮

I miss Jonathan Cook here on the Fediverse, so I've sent him a message through his contact-form. Hope he will join.
Hint, the contact form can be found here:

Who do you miss?

After publishing the results of Discovery Week, we can now give you a first sneak peak at Mastodon 5.0, our next big version. It will bring a new visual look to your screens, a refreshed and calmer layout, as well as a new composer.

Hey beta testers! @crowfi TestFlight v0.28 is here! 🎉
What to test: - Add support for iOS 27 and drop support for iOS 17
If you include either a reference to a book or an image of a book cover in a post, it would be most helpful to readers who are blind or have low vision if you would also at least include the title and author of the book, or alt text of the image. Either of these is much appreciated.
As of late, I have not been including images of book covers in my posts, but when I do, I try to also include alt text, so that one doesn't have to run the image through image description in order to know what it is.

How is account migration on #Mastodon these days? And which servers are most likely to be sustainable while not overloaded or over censored?
I've become increasingly unhappy with what appears to be silent censorship on Mastodon.social, effectively giving cover for war criminals and genocide, so I'm looking for a new server for this account.
I last migrated a few years ago and it was ok. I don't mind losing my post history or followers. Ease and who I follow is more important.
The advanced web interface has added a fifth column containing just a search box and credits … anyone know how I can rid myself of it? #Mastodon
Just a reminder for people using #Mastodon compatible software: you can add a media description to your profile and header pictures. #Fedilab lets you add them through your profile.
To see descriptions from other accounts, tap their profile or header picture to open it, then tap it again to display the media description.
I have no idea what's going on with the new Mastodon interface.
Every couple days it just gets randomly weirder.
It's really hard to not think there's some sort of AI involvement, it's hard to believe people would be making these decisions.
👋 Meet us at the 2nd edition of the @universityofgroningen #DigitalAutonomy Fair, 27 October!
➡️ https://social.edu.nl/@DigitalAutonomyUG/117319674470194788
Chat with us about #Mastodon, #PeerTube, the @SURF instance https://social.edu.nl for #HigherEducation, get a sticker and make sure to cuddle our plushies.
I've just added a reviews plugin to the #Mastodon merch shop. If you've bought something from us before, would you mind leaving a review? (If you are okay with using reviews.io) Thank you! (And if this is the first time you hear that there is Mastodon merch, yes, there is, please help yourself, it supports our mission)
The new official #Mastodon app for iOS in beta seems already a lot better!
(You can get it via TestFlight)
Salut tout le monde ! Je prépare une page d'acceuil pour notre serveur. J'aimerais bien inclure quelques pages qui ont des tips pour le fediverse, idéalement francophone. Des pages qui expliquent comment bien utiliser mastodon, comment ça marche sur le fediverse, comment trouver des comptes qui pourrait plaire ou toute autre information que vous auriez aimé avoir au début ! Je suis preneur de toute information, piste, etc ! 😃 Merciiiii !

Winter is coming, and our tent is torn apart, as you can see. We have no food. 💔
$70 can provide one nutritious meal for my family.
Your donations are an act of resistance and hope. Please, don't abandon us. 🥺❤️

Hallo zusammen,
unsere Instanz wächst kontinuierlich weiter. Aktuell sind wir 361 aktive Accounts, die gemeinsam bereits 39491 Beiträge verfasst haben. Damit gehören wir zu den etablierten LGBTIQ+ Instanzen im deutschsprachigen Raum.
Ein solches Wachstum bedeutet auch steigende Anforderungen an die Infrastruktur. Server, Speicherplatz für Medien, Backups und die technische Administration erfordern entsprechende Ressourcen. Die laufenden Kosten werden derzeit zum größten Teil privat getragen, einige wenige Nutzerinnen und Nutzer unterstützen bereits mit kleineren Beträgen.
Falls euch diese Instanz als Safe Space wichtig ist und ihr die Möglichkeit habt, würden wir uns über weitere Unterstützung freuen. Alle Informationen zu den Spendenmöglichkeiten findet ihr unter: https://lsbt.me/about (fast ganz unten)
Regelmäßige Beiträge helfen besonders bei der Planbarkeit, aber auch einmalige Unterstützung ist willkommen.
Vielen Dank an alle, die bereits unterstützen, und danke an alle, die Teil dieser Community sind.

FediSuite 1.7.0 is here!
This release brings some of the biggest additions yet for publishing and analytics:
- Archive search: Search every post FediSuite has ever seen for your accounts. Search a single account or all connected accounts at once, with matches even inside words.
- Cross-posting: Select multiple accounts in the composer and publish or schedule the same post across different platforms. FediSuite automatically respects character limits, media rules, visibility options and other restrictions of all selected accounts.
- Eight new reach insights: FediSuite now uses calculated net reach directly to identify your best times and weekdays, differences between media and text posts, potential reach decline and more.
- The reach formula developed by Ralf Stockmann for FediWings now also includes quotes from Mastodon 4.5+. FediWings is also explicitly acknowledged within FediSuite as its sister project.
Plus several bug fixes and smaller improvements.
FediSuite is open source, self-hostable and licensed under GPL-3.0.

I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release.
Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them.
That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier...
