Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?

@FediTips If I reply to a post from someone who has restricted who can follow them, then who can see my reply?
Is it safe to say that if I create an account somewhere with follow requests restriction turned on and boost all @ mentions I get, then this account will act as a kind of private group on Mastodon?
About groups, is there still any work going on to implement native groups in Mastodon?
@MastodonEngineering #mastodev #activitypub #groups
in reply to Arne D. S. Haldorsen

Restrictions on who can follow you do not directly affect the visibility of your posts.

Post visibility is only affected by the visibility settings of your posts. More info on these at fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts…

The only way restricting followers affects visibility is if you make posts with "followers-only" visibility and also restrict who can follow you, which indirectly affects who can see your followers-only posts.

I'm not sure what Mastodon's in-house groups situation is.

Just putting a word or two in, because I am interested in the answer and can't find somewhere to follow the thread otherwise.

I'm also desperately looking for a groups sollution to offer members of my FB groups and subscription services won't work for that.

Best "group" sollution I have seen so far is following hashtags here on the Fediverse. UI is still too "geeky" for older users, though, so I'm still looking.

in reply to MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈

@MaryPot As @harald mentioned Hubzilla has groups support. Friendica too. But I think their UX are way to difficult and unpolished to use for most people (my opinion).
So far I think NodeBB forums and Lemmy are the closest you'll get the FB groups experience, but they are still a bit too cumbersome.
in reply to Arne D. S. Haldorsen

mobilizon was actually built for groups organizing stuff and having a public presence. You can create events associated with the group of course, but also internal discussions, share resources, publish public or private announcements.

@rakoo @harald@hub.volse.no @MaryPot @ahaldorsen

Mobilizon is perhaps more for replacing Facebook Events? Facebook Groups is a bit more forum-like?

More info about Mobilizon here: fedi.tips/mobilizon-event-orga…

in reply to MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈

@MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈 Friendica's private group management works very well at the moment, but can only be used by other Friendica users. The interface has improved significantly over the past two years, but it could be made even simpler. From this point of view, the Raccoon for Friendica app has improved the Friendica web interface, taking inspiration from the viewing mode present on Lemmy and other software in the "topicverse". By the way, Raccoon for Friendica also works with mastodon accounts and has the same simplified interface for groups, although – as I said before – only public Friendica groups work for Mastodon users, not private ones.

PS: Friendica also has an event manager, quite compatible with Mobilizon, Gancio and the WordPress Event bridge plugin. This makes it a great alternative to Facebook, but of course the problem is always the fact that Facebook's numbers, with all its billions of users, represent the real added value of that infernal platform 🤣

@notizie

Set up account. Am trying to figure out how groups work. Seems like Friendica is really a hub for oher group servers, such as Lemmy.world?

Because of the pottery aspect of the main group I would love to find a new home for, there are many people not very computer savvy, many of them. Easy navigation/UI is important.

I would love to join this group, but it says I have to be logged in, even though I think I can see it from my Friendica account.

@MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈

Seems like Friendica is really a hub for oher group servers, such as Lemmy.world?

Friendica is primarily a macroblogging social network and while the topic view is not as nice as Lemmy, Piefed, MBin and NodeBB the group management support is well established.

Because of the pottery aspect of the main group I would love to find a new home for, there are many people not very computer savvy, many of them. Easy navigation/UI is important.

Friendica is not friendly... but it is not that difficult to use either. If you're interested in a user guide, you can translate this post from Italian

I would love to join this group, but it says I have to be logged in, even though I think I can see it from my Friendica account.
lemmy.world/c/3dprinting

Yes, just copy that link and paste it into the Friendica search box: then you'll see that community as if it were any user profile, except that you'll see it marked as a "group". As soon as you follow that account, you can post to that group simply by mentioning the group account in the first message of the thread. You just have to remember to make sure that the first paragraph of the first message is less than 200 characters, because Lemmy's compiler will make it the title of the thread (so you should NEVER put the mention of the account in the first line)

in reply to MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈

@MaryPot 🏳️‍🌈 Of course, yes, but this concerns interoperable functions such as reading, replying, reacting.

The more advanced functions however are features that some platforms have and others do not, so they only work within software with the same functionality.

Let me explain:
1) you can view a Mobilizon event from your Mastodon account, but you cannot create an event from Mastodon
2) you can view a peertube video from your Mastodon account, but you cannot upload a video to Peertube from your Mastodon account
3) you can create a new thread in a Friendica or Lemmy group, or reply to a thread in a Lemmy group from your Mastodon account, but you cannot join a private group from your Mastodon account

Sciety ottiene finanziamenti dalla Fondazione NLNet per contribuire a costruire un dibattito sulle pre-stampe


#Sciety sta sperimentando un nuovo livello di comunicazione accademica aperta, che cattura le conversazioni informali sui preprint e le rende accessibili e riutilizzabili. Sciety ha ottenuto nuovi finanziamenti dalla NLNet Foundation per aiutarci a rendere il dibattito sui preprint più aperto, più connesso e più gratificante per i ricercatori.

Nei prossimi sei mesi collaborerà con @bonfire sviluppata anche dall'italiano @bernini per avvicinare le discussioni sui #preprint al cuore della comunicazione accademica, anziché occultarle su piattaforme di social media commerciali e isolate.

Perché è importante il dibattito decentralizzato sui preprint


Al momento, molte discussioni preziose sulle nuove ricerche avvengono su piattaforme come X/Twitter, Bluesky, Slack o tramite e-mail: conversazioni che è facile perdersi, difficili da ritrovare e scollegate dai preprint cui si riferiscono.

l'obiettivo di Sciety è semplificare per i ricercatori:

  • Condividere approfondimenti sulle pre-stampe
  • Connettersi con altre persone interessate alle stesse aree
  • Ottienere riconoscimenti per il tuo contributo alle conversazioni scientifiche
  • Mantenere la registrazione di tali discussioni collegate alla ricerca stessa

L'idea di base èiutare le comunità di ricerca, i laboratori, le reti e i gruppi di giovani ricercatori a creare i propri spazi in cui parlare di nuova scienza e a far sì che queste conversazioni siano parte di un quadro più ampio della scoperta della ricerca.

**Cosa stiamo facendo per promuovere un dibattito aperto sui preprint


Con il supporto di #NLNet @nlnet sarà possibile:

  • creare una piattaforma comunitaria, progettata appositamente per - consentire ai ricercatori di discutere di preprint in un ambiente aperto e affidabile. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, stiamo sfruttando il lavoro già svolto su Bonfire.
  • collegare il dibattito direttamente a Sciety , in modo che commenti e discussioni vengano visualizzati insieme a valutazioni e recensioni curate.
  • semplificare la creazione di spazi di discussione personalizzati per i gruppi di ricerca, con guide e supporto semplici.
  • aiutare i ricercatori a ottenere il riconoscimento per il loro contributo, collegare l'impegno ai profili dei ricercatori e incoraggiare contributi costruttivi e visibili.

Sciety collabora con vere e proprie comunità di ricerca per assicurarsi che tutte le loro realizzazioni soddisfino davvero le esigenze dei ricercatori.
Durante tutto il progetto, verranno condivsi regolarmente aggiornamenti da Sciety su ciò che si imparerà e realizzerà

Unisciti a Sciety


Stiamo costruendo un futuro in cui la ricerca in fase iniziale non solo viene condivisa più velocemente, ma viene anche discussa più apertamente, valutata in modo più chiaro e collegata in modo più significativo alla documentazione scientifica. Al momento stiamo cercando ricercatori che desiderino testare le prime versioni , fornire feedback o creare i propri spazi comunitari . Se sei appassionato di scienza aperta, preprint o di creazione di comunità di ricerca migliori, saremmo lieti se ci seguissi, partecipassi e contribuissi a dare forma al futuro.

PRIMA ASSEMBLEA DELL'ISTANZA ROMANA DI GANCIO
Gio 19:00 Europe/Rome
Gancio de Roma

Gancio de Roma, Agenda condivisa della Roma ribelle e autogestita, è un luogo virtuale autonomo dove inserire e ritrovare eventi e appuntamenti militanti di Roma e territori limitrofi.

E' basata sul software Open Source Gancio e non si appoggia o dipende da nessuna piattaforma proprietaria.

Come spesso accade, l'infrastruttura e il software sono degli aspetti complessi ma risolvibili grazie alla comunità (o classe) hacker internazionalista che si e' creata attorno a questo progetto e altri simili.

Ora è giunto il momento di immaginare il funzionamento collettivo di uno strumento che per sua natura ha un pannello Admin, ovvero un approccio top-down. In altre parole, come rendere fluido, chiaro e autotutelato un meccanismo corale che permetta di comunicare alla città e ai territori limitrofi appuntamenti ed incontri che facciamo per esistere e resistere, riconoscerci e immaginare nuovi orizzonti.

Quindi ci porremo alcune domande:

-quali sono gli eventi che sono su Gancio de Roma?

-chi decide quali eventi sono accettati?

-come questo meccanismo si autosostiene? La continua cura e le (poche) spese vive

-come allargare l'uso dello strumento?

Per partecipare all'assemblea non e' necessario avere esperienza informatica.

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News


  • PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.
  • Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.
  • Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Context: I made a poll on PieFed about the new post flairs (so if you are one of the few hundred people who have a PieFed account, follow that link and answer there). Unfortunately Lemmy has neither polls nor post flairs, so this post is to open up the discussion to the wider Fediverse, or rather the subset of it that encompasses Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, which is called... what exactly?

Is Threadiverse too traumatic & tainted by association with Meta's (all but entirely defunct) Threads? Is The Verse too cool/poetic/nerdy (but niche) to be understood? I highly advise against Lemmyverse bc mainstream normal people are far less tolerant of tankies than we who are here are willing to put up with. Simply listing the software available sometimes is the best option - like the Interstellar app supports all of Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, but most support at best 1 or 2 of those - but usually is too long to say and does not roll off the tongue, plus will just keep growing as time goes on. Is Forumverse thus the least bad of the available options, or perhaps you have a better idea? 💡

Anyway, the start to a listing:
1) Threadiverse
2) Forumverse
3) (The) Verse
4) Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed
5) Something else?

The word itself sounds nice, but is the least inclusive.

That's like saying that all of these conversations that we all have are on Lemmy.World? Sure, it's between 50 and 80% true (users and the most active communities, respectively, including this one we are in now), but it misses a ton of nuance and detail there.

PieFed, Mbin, and now nodebb, with others on the way (flarum, perhaps Sublinks) also exist.

So why call this all "Lemmy", when that's only a part - granted, by far the majority portion - of the whole?

Instance drama, with some reflection on how federation could be improved on the fediverse.


Fediverse Report – #114

Posts made by a Fosstodon server moderator on Reddit has caused some drama, leading to both Fosstodon admins to call it quits, a number of servers (threatening to) defederate from the Fosstodon server, leading to an uncertain future for the Fosstodon server.

Fosstodon drama


A few days ago someone published a post on Mastodon, with screenshots and links to posts made on Reddit by one of the Fosstodon moderators. In the linked posts, the Reddit account in question, which seemingly belongs to the Fosstodon moderator, holds various right-wing beliefs, ranging from defending the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil to claiming Democrat supporters are in a cult. Backlash to the Fosstodon server was swift and strong, with various calls and plans from other servers to defederate from Fosstodon, members of the Fosstodon server looking for other servers to move their account to, and a general condemnation from the wider community. Both Fosstodon admins have posted articles declaring they are stepping down, citing not only the current drama as a reason, but that they see the work of being server admins as frustrating with little pay-off. One Fosstodon community member is considering to take over the administration of the server, though as of writing, that process is still ongoing and the outcome unclear.

Some thoughts and takeaways about what this drama says about the social side of federation on the network, and how different communities interact:

When a server moderators holds opinions other people view as problematic, the social cost of these views is partially extended to server users as well. See for example the account for fediverse streaming platform Owncast, which has an account on the Fosstodon server. Owncast says that they are getting messages that say they need to move servers, otherwise people will see them as Nazis. This blog post about another Fosstodon user explains a similar thought process, where it is rational for them to move to a different server, because they will be associated with the politics of the server moderator in question otherwise.

This behaviour has an impact on how people on the fediverse should find an instance they want to join. It turns out that knowing the political affiliations of server moderators is important, and that this is something that people should know about before joining a server. People will be judged for being on a server that has a moderator with toxic political views. As such, it becomes important for people to know this information beforehand: both that they will get judged for the politics of server moderators, as well as knowing what those political views actually are.

This is another indication of why the process of selecting a server when someone joins the fediverse is actually a challenge: important information that should impact server choice is not made available to users, nor is it made clear that this information is important in the first place.

The second takeaway from the situation is that it shows a need for fediverse servers to have a federation policy. How federation currently works on the fediverse is that servers are connected with each other by default, and the assumption is that servers can disconnect from each other for any reason, but will mostly do so only if one of the servers is misbehaving in some way. Freedom of association is one of the valuable features of the fediv erse. Server operators should be free to defederate from any other server, for any reason. Being able to defederate from another server because you strongly disagree with the politics from one of the server moderators is a good thing. But if this is a consistent policy of the server, it would do well to make this policy public and explicit. Servers defederating from each other can have significant impact on users, who suddenly can lose connections with their friends. A policy of defederating from other servers based on the expressed beliefs of server moderators is something that is not immediately obvious to new people joining the fediverse. There are absolutely valid reasons to do so, but it seems to me that formalising such a policy would be a good step towards making the culture on the fediverse more sustainable.

The third takeaway is that running a fediverse server is challenging, especially over longer periods of time. Both Fosstodon admins have called in quits in response to the most recent drama. Their blog posts explaining their perspectives is that this has been a long time coming, and that the Fosstodon server has been uncompensated work that they do not love doing for years now. Regardless of one’s perspective on how the admins handled the latest situation, it is a further indication that being a fediverse server admin is a challenging job, one that should not be expected that someone can do forever. This means that servers like Fosstodon need governance systems that allow for better and earlier rotation of administrative power. Fediverse software should also be better at dealing with the realities of admin burnout. The users who are transferring from Fosstodon to another server will lose their posts; Mastodon does only transfer the social graph, and not posting history. While ideally the majority of servers would have extensive governance systems in place that can help deal with admin burnout, the reality is that most servers do not. More fediverse software should provide better support for users having to move to different servers, including with their posts.

A slow news week in the fediverse, with some new research papers on Mastodon and more.


Fediverse Report – #113

When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.

The News


Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.

🌐 Perché alcuni account sembrano "vuoti" nel fediverso?

Gli account esterni (es. @nemeyes o @gametrack) si vedono solo se qualcuno della tua istanza li segue. Questo evita di sovraccaricare le piccole istanze con dati non necessari

✅ Vantaggi: Risparmio di risorse, le istanze piccole si federano solo con una piccola parte del fediverso. Chiunque può gestire un’istanza low-cost!

❌ Svantaggi: moltissimi account nelle istanze piccole rimangono non visibili perchè nessuno li segue.

FediDB.org has proven to be a very useful fediverse resource.

Thanks to @dumpsterqueer for helping me address some robots.txt crawler bugs!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm nearly finished rewriting FediDB's frontend, and will be publishing the source code finally as we migrate away from the current paid theme which prevented that.

I look forward to working with the community to steward this resource!

More details to follow ✨

Giornalismo anti-Big Tech. L'esperienza di @saskia di @newsmast al Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo, 2025


La comunicazione e l'advocacy sul social web aperto stanno fallendo. Tutti cercano di dire qualcosa, ma in realtà nessuno dice nulla.

Il linguaggio tecnico non funziona. Questo include il "Fediverso". Le campagne isolate su reti decentralizzate non funzionano. Affermando la "purezza" della piattaforma, nessuno impara a conoscere questi spazi. "Costruisci e arriveranno" non è vero. Gli esseri umani sono cose complesse e hanno bisogno di più di quattro mura per sentirsi a casa.

@macfranc @Saskia Unfortunately, my impression is that both the journalism festival, its curators, and most journalists have now married Bluesky.

We have missed a very important train that will never pass again, therefore new tracks will have to be built to allow other trains to pass

@teirdes I'm sorry but this is a totally fallacious reasoning that can be forgiven to an uninformed user, but it is not acceptable on the part of a journalist.

First of all, there are many instances dedicated to journalism, but each of them has particularities: instances based on the verification of the journalist, others pertaining to a particular linguistic area, others still linked to a specific political area. For example, we created an Italian Mastodon instance for journalists and academics and we accompanied it with a special version of Mastodon that allows you to create long and formatted texts. Well, it was of no use: academics are ten times more than journalists!.

Beyond these instances, there are others of a generalist nature, multilingual or localized in the national language.

Finally, there is always the possibility of creating your own instance: a personal instance of the individual journalist or an instance of the organization to which it belongs (publisher, newspaper, cooperative, collective). Without excluding the possibility of federating your Wordpress blog (a very simple action: all you need is a free plugin) or creating a newsletter on Ghost.

As you can see, no journalist would be forced to embrace an instance.

The problem is mainly attributable to journalists:
1) their laziness
2) their ignorance of the Fediverse (which was initially sold as an alternative to Twitter, but IT HAS NEVER BEEN AND CANNOT BECOME SO
3) the subjection that journalists suffer from fashions (Bluesky and Threads)

On our part, on the part of us activists of the Fediverse, there is obviously some blame, including that of having presented the Fediverse as something difficult to explain and not as something easy to use.

@teirdes I had the presumption to identify some journalists who I thought were more sensitive to the issue of decentralization and the independence of their digital presence. I limited myself to those. Many of them didn't even answer me, while others told me that they would have preferred to register in an international instance, demonstrating that they had understood absolutely nothing about decentralization. And in fact their profiles have stopped being active for a couple of years now... 😅

Now for a while I've been dealing more with the consolidation of the instance rather than with new entries, but I will surely soon start doing a bit of a broad-spectrum campaign again, as you suggested and as I should have done from the beginning

in reply to teirdes

@teirdes Thank you, even if it would take a specific commitment in each Nation, explaining well, based on the characteristics of the national publishing industry, What could be the strengths of opening your publishing to the Fediverse.
Of course one of the critical points that I see is that of advertising collection and fundraising in general.
Publishing and monetization in fact go hand in hand, with the additional variable due to the fact that many online newspapers are actually fictitious and designed only to publish garbage pre-digested by artificial intelligence. In this scenario, real journalism finds itself facing new critical issues and unfair competition. Asking publishers to enter the Fediverse without solving this problem is very difficult
in reply to Poliverso - notizie dal Fediverso ⁂

@notizie in sweden the labour union for journalists should be able to act. They could surely cooperate with some tech NGO. the larger challenges for news media... The problem is that owners of media organisations are complacent. Public service broadcasting? The industry is very inflexible in its financial models due to copyright and poorly enforced data protection laws
