Für alle, denen das vielleicht nicht bewusst ist: "Geschützter Account", "geblockt", spielt alles keine Rolle. Das FediVerse ist also kein "geschlossener, geschützter Raum", kein "Silo", nicht nur eine App auf eurem Smartphone, sondern u.U. eine (quasi-öffentliche) Web-Anwendung. Klar, ein "geblockter" Account kann nicht mit eurem Account interagieren, lesen per RSS aber weiterhin. Egal, ob zB Ich verlinke hier bewusst mal keine privaten Accounts, das könnt ihr selber testen. Wobei es einzelne Instanzen gibt, bei denen kein RSS aktiviert ist. Vielleicht ja auch interessant für alle, die
Jeder (text-basierte) FediVerse-Account kann per RSS-Feed abonniert werden.
Das ist elementarer Bestandteil des ActivityPub-Protokolls.
Korrektur:
RSS ist nicht im ActivityPub-Protokoll spezifiziert.
Da habe ich mich vor absenden nicht gut genug informiert, sorry.
Alles, was ihr (ich auch) hier persönliches, privates, intimes, usw. *öffentlich* schreibt, können sich Personen in ihren RSS-Reader importieren und darüber lesen, inkl. Antworten, die ihr an andere schreibt, inkl. geboostete Beiträge.
(Gilt wohl nicht für Beiträge, die "nur an Folgende" gehen.)

climatejustice.global/@parents4future.rss
Sollte das bei eurer Instanz der Fall sein, könnt ihr ja gerne hier kommentieren.

Hope everybody is having a great autumn 🍂 — with temperatures slated to drop next week, I suppose it's almost time for winter 🥶
(and yes, I use em dashes. No LLM was used to write this travesty of a release post.)
We've just dropped NodeBB v4.7.0 with some nice QoL improvements for sites federating via ActivityPub.
Security Fixes
Just a note that v4.6.3 contained a dependency upgrade to the validator package that fixes CVE-2025-56200. v4.7.0 contains this fix as well.
New setting to control whether uploaded media is displayed as a topic thumbnail 🖼️
Early changes to better handle ActivityPub content meant that uploaded post content was shown in the topic thumbnails set. This is now a configurable option in Settings > Uploads.
Removal of the "federated description" 💬
We had a small postscript added by default when categories federated outward, and it even came with some default text about mentioning the category to create a topic. It didn't quite work out like we planned, and just looked plain weird when viewed through other threadiverse software (you don't mention a community to create a post in it).
For now I've removed that feature.
A link back to remote categories ↗️
Remote categories now have a button that allows you to navigate directly to the community itself — be it a Lemmy or Piefed community, Peertube channel, etc.
Category boost fixes 🚀
When a topic is moved between categories, the related categories will share (or "Announce" in AP parlance) OP. Likewise, it will be unshared by the other category is no longer belongs to.
N.B. For devs — categories will also federate out Move and Remove activities for the appropriate contexts, which is going to be part of an upcoming FEP the ForumWG is working on.
Improved handling of remote content in chats 😺
When receiving non-public content from remote sources (shown as a chat message), embedded images are now included.
When sending chat messages outside of NodeBB, emoji are now included.

Mastodon, Matrix, ActivityPub, XMPP, ATProto. whatever your flavor of decentralization is, there’s room for you.
Submit your proposal to the Decentralized Communication devroom at FOSDEM before the end of this week!

🆕 blog! “Now witness the power of this fully operational Fediverse!”
How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.
Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog…

They want you to think building platforms like TikTok requires billions in VC funding.
Reality: Laravel, Vue, federation, and a vision beyond profit.
@loops is my middle finger to tech gatekeepers who said only monopolies can build this.
High school dropout + open source + refusing to compromise = your federated TikTok.
The tools were always free. They just didn't want you to know.

Now witness the power of this fully operational Fediverse!

How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.
Me? I prefer to look at how many people visit my blog from each site. It is an imperfect measure - and a vain one - but lets me know where I should be spending my time. No point posting on a network which is just bots talking to each other, right?
Earlier this year I built a stats-counter for my blog. Every time someone clicks from a website which links to my blog, it records that visit in a database. I get to see which blog posts are doing numbers, and where those numbers came from.
Until fairly recently, the Mastodon social network didn't send referer details. I thought that reduced the visibility of the network and lobbied for it to change. As various Mastodon servers upgrade, and admins opt-in, it is becoming more apparent just how much traffic originates from the Fediverse.
Over the last few weeks, here's how many people have clicked from BlueSky and Mastodon to one of my blog posts.

At first glance, it doesn't look good for our elephantine friends, does it? The butterfly sends over twice the traffic. Game over!
But, of course, while Mastodon.social is the biggest instance - it is far from the only one. What happens if we slide down the long tail? Here's all the Mastodon-ish instances which sent me over 10 clicks.

Sites sending < 10 clicks
Ah! Add them all up and you get a grand total of 1,773 visitors from Mastodon-powered sites. That's more than BlueSky.
Now, there are some obvious caveats to the data:
- I have a smaller follower count on BlueSky than I do on Mastodon.
- My posts may appeal more to one demographic than another.
- People may have strict privacy controls which suppress the true volume of visitors.
- There's no way to measure how long someone spends reading my posts.
- RSS and newsletter visitors aren't counted.
- Clicks from apps may not always show a referer.
- Some people may be on multiple services.
- Fediverse users can follow the post directly, so don't need to visit the site to read it.
And yet… no matter how you slice it, Fediverse servers are sending as much traffic as BlueSky!
I think this is brilliant. Web services should be able to scale from small to big - and each ActivityPub-powered site helps power the open Internet.
Just for completeness, this is how Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Lemmy do over the same period:

If you add up all the Lemmy instances, they send about as much traffic as Facebook and LinkedIn combined. That's not a huge surprise - those platforms hate anyone clicking away to the wider web.
Twitter is basically the Dead Internet. I'm no longer on there, but I do occasionally search it to see who is sharing my posts. The popular posts I write get shared a lot - sometimes by accounts with huge followers - yet there are no comments or retweets and barely and clicks.
I don't do Instagram or Threads, and that might be reflected in their low numbers. But I'm not active on YouTube either - yet people there occasionally link back to me.
Final Thoughts
Firstly, my stats only represent my site. Your site might be very different.
Secondly, I've ignored search engine traffic, big blogs, newsletters, and other sources.
Thirdly, and most importantly, this isn't a competition! The desire for a "winner-takes-all" service is dangerous and disturbing. An ecosystem is at its most vibrant when there are multiple participants each thriving in their own niche.
I want a thousand sites, running a hundred different software stacks, some of which only serve a dozen people, or even a lone participant.
Diversity is strength.

Plot twist: TikTok's "secret sauce" is recommendation ML + video encoding (likely ffmpeg like the rest of us).
They built their empire on open source foundations.
We're doing the same with @loops but keeping it open, federated, and yours.
The magic was open source all along.
Who's really disrupting who?
