Happy Birthday #Friendica!

15 years - how time flies 🥳

#Fediverse

Here's to the crazy ones. The digital revolutionaries. The #fediverse builders. The ones who see social media differently.

They're not fond of #BigTech. And they have no respect for the #SurveillanceEconomy.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people crazy enough to think they can change social media, are the ones who do.

👋 Everyone: see what you think:

Don't claim that these are final answers - but hope they help continue constructive motion to final answers!

New instance, new #introduction !

Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

And many thanks to @sebinthestars for running our former instance!

A drone photograph of a gigantic telescope in the desert, at sunset. The telescope dome is under construction, and partially covered in cladding. The sliding doors of the dome are open, revelaning the telescope inside: a cylindrical structure of white criss-crossed beams. The dome is surrounded by huge cranes, and the entire scene is bathed in the golden light of the setting Sun in the background.

Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse

Hooray! It is now official: We have been granted funding by NLnet to support the realisation the vision we outlined in our last post.

Events are at the heart of social life and deserve to be treated accordingly in the Fediverse. […]

In addition, we will also investigate the Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider Specifications (FASPs) for discoverability and filtering of public events.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

@HauptstadtCanicross @anne_lienchen

Willkommen bei #Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse 👍 🙂

@NoNoBrainer @berufsdemonstrant
Und u.a. deswegen ist es ja auch so großartig!!! 🥳

#Fediverse

@dbx Ja, da denk mal drüber nach 😅 @berufsdemonstrant
Man könnte sagen, dass #Fediverse verbindet 😉

Was hat #FreieSoftware eigentlich mit #Nachhaltigkeit zu tun? Letztes Jahr hat das beantworten dieser Frage uns so viel Spaß gemacht, dass wir auch in diesem Jahr wieder einen Stand beim 30. Umweltfestival auf der Straße des 17. Juni vor dem Brandenburger Tor machen. Zusammen mit @bitsundbaeume_berlin sind wir am Stand 215 (Link zu Openstreetmap) praktisch gegenüber vom Sowjetischen Ehrenmal zu finden.

Kommt vorbei - oder schickt Leute vorbei - um mit uns über #SoftwareFreiheit , Public Money? Public Code! #PMPC der #Fediverse oder #UpcyclingAndroid zu sprechen.

Das Umweltfestival ist am 1.6.2025 zwischen 11 und 18 Uhr für Besucher:innen geöffnet 😀

@tagesschau

#TikTok abschalten und das #Fediverse nutzen 👍

The last #snac release fixes a problem with the Mastodon API. Now, apps (or webapps like Phanpy) properly work as the "inifite scrolling" has been fixed.
Thanks, @grunfink - this was one thing that kept some of my friends away from self-hosting with snac, and now I can help them to have their own digital home.

Old post, but still relevant – maybe even more relevant today than it was in 2023.

Herzlich willkommen bei #Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse 👍 🙂

This search engine treats the whole web as a unified ecosystem where I can navigate as a single unit, not simply a federation of separate servers. I strongly believe that this kind of thinking is the future of the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub.

If anyone else is doing work like this, please let me know. So far, I believe this search feature of #Emissary is the only one of its kind, and we should build a community that works to push this forward.

Am Montag den 7. April 2025 treffen wir uns zum nächsten monatlichen Fediverse-Stammtisch auf der @cbase
Es ist ein munteres Zusammenkommen von Fedizen unabhängig vom der Fediverse Plattform die verwendet wird.

Wir treffen uns um 19 Uhr auf der c-base - Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin.

Das ist der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um Menschen aus dem Fediverse aus Berlin kennen zu lernen und uns über dieses dezentrale Soziale Netzwerk auszutauschen .

Seems this solves the 499 ngnix issue.
A bit caching if big payloads.

#snac2 #Mastodon #fediverse

I've performed some tests, and it's great. #snac and #haproxy are working great together - now with caching of media and json responses, to scale up, and up, and up...and up!
#Varnish is the best tool for caching, but the setup I've tested doesn't require it and it's still good enough.
I think this will be a blog post, as soon as I'll have enough time.
