With the launch of Ghost 6.0, every publication that runs on Ghost becomes part of the #fediverse. You can follow and comment on Platformer or 404 Media articles without leaving your Mastodon feed. This is the future of social media.
Congratulations to @johnonolan and all the team at Ghost!
@fabiscafe I agree, for a bit I debated whether this would in practice replace my RSS feed for 404media (staying subscribed for the podcast and to support the work of course), but it seems functionally identical to if they were to just post the article and the headline.
I understand some sites' RSS feeds do this (RTÉ truncates the RSS article for example), but luckily Capy Reader can fetch the rest of the article.
@fabiscafe glad to hear it! I hope I didn't sound cynical or picky there, I understand federation isnt built in a day. Thanks for believing and investing in the fediverse 😀
@raracool @fabiscafe oh no all good - there’s lots of collaboration happening between Mastodon, Ghost, WordPress, Flipboard, Threads, WriteFreely, NodeBB and The Social Web Foundation (which we sponsor!)
We’re all working on better interoperability and support for long form content!
"turn your audience into a business." - mmm... are you sure you thought it through? i am pretty sure mastodon tries to be an antithesis of multiple, well know companies trying to turn people into a business.
@fmn I think you misunderstand our company ethos. We're against platform monopolies that inevitably exploit users. We're not against people using social media for business! Plenty of artists, musicians, YouTubers and journalists here on the fediverse for whom social media is how they earn their living.
@Gargron @fmn I've noticed that my timeline is getting a lot of art and photographic art posts. I don't mind, like most of them, boost some that catch my eye.
"Today, Ghost's annual revenue is over $8.5M while total publisher earnings on Ghost have now surpassed $100M." That implies a very livable ratio, certainly better than Steam, Apple, or any other large publishing platform.
Please, Ghost, never enshittify your payment model.
Hey @FediTips , how about posting a list of Ghost 6.0 blogs at some time? Now that they're on the fediverse, it would be good to know who to subscribe to.

Ciao a todos 😀
Mi chiedevo se ci fossero incontri dal vivo di gruppo tra persone appassionate di etica digitale su Roma. Parlo di incontri informali in cui ci si conosce e si scambiano chiacchiere dal vivo.
Se non ci sono, vi piacerebbe crearne e partecipare? :four_leaf_clover:
sarei molto lieto di partecipare! Potrebbe essere interessante anche coinvolgere i @twcitalia che hanno una certa esperienza nella individuazione di spazi di incontro
[h1][strong]Con [url=http://citiverse.it]citiverse.it[/url] abbiamo portato [url=https://citiverse.it/categories]i gruppi locali Facebook in un luogo[/url] senza tracciamento![/strong][/h1]

Puoi usare Citiverse.it come Forum, ma le iscrizioni sono ancora soggette a invito. Da oggi è disponibile anche la nuova interfaccia a schede.
Ma se hai un account del Fediverso (Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, etc) puoi seguire le località di Citiverse.it inserendo il link della comunità nella casella di ricerca del tuo software federato e seguendola. Se vuoi aprire una nuova conversazione dal tuo social, puoi menzionare la comunità
con la chiocciola + il nome della comunità + @citiverse.it.
Per esempio, se vuoi aprire una conversazione su "Roma" puoi menzionare @roma@citiverse.it
Citiverse, la città dei social liberi, è l'alternativa aperta e italiana ai gruppi di Facebook dove è possibile parlare con persone della tua città o della tua tua organizzazione.
Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un'istanza qualsiasi, ma con le "categorie" del Forum che diventano "gruppi Activitypub", come le comunità Lemmy.
Al momento abbiamo creato una settantina di comunità, suddivise per macrocategorie.
Volete visualizzarle dal vostro account Mastodon? Eccole qua:
NB: alcune potrebbero sembrarvi vuote, perché i messaggi che "contengono" si vedono solo dopo che le avete seguite.
Vogliamo far diventare Citiverse un'alternativa ai gruppi Facebook, ma per farlo abbiamo bisogno che sia una comunità attiva: Se la discussione è scarsa, nessuno prenderà in considerazione citiverse.it! Quindi:
1) seguite le comunità e partecipate alle discussioni con il vostro account federato 2) se volete una nuova comunità, chiedetecela 3) e se volete iscrivervi al forum, in questa fase, dobbiamo inviarvi l'invito via email
Citiverse, la città dei social liberi, è l'alternativa aperta e italiana ai gruppi di Facebook dove è possibile parlare con persone della tua città o della tua tua organizzazione.
Si possono portare i gruppi Facebook nel Fediverso? Certamente. Ma come utilizzare le categorie di citiverse.it (ossia #NodeBB) da poliverso.org (ossia #Friendica)? Ecco una breve guida
Come ormai @Le Alternative abbiamo iniziato a sperimentare su NodeBB con l’ambizione di creare un’alternativa federata ai gruppi Facebook, soprattutto quelli locali.
Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è semplicemente un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un’istanza qualsiasi, con le “categorie” del Forum che diventano “gruppi Activitypub”, come le comunità Lemmy o i gruppi Friendica.
Così come per gli utenti Lemmy le categorie NodeBB sono indistinguibili dalle comunità Lemmy, anche per un utente Friendica, sono indistinguibili dai gruppi Friendica!
Ecco quindi una guida per gli utenti Friendica: volete visualizzare le categorie NodeBB dal vostro account Poliverso? Allora è sufficiente:
1) cercare il link della categoria su Citiverse: per esempio https://citiverse.it/category/13/roma o https://citiverse.it/category/31/localhost 2) copiarlo nella casella di ricerca di Friendica (in alto al centro) e premere invio (NB: spesso è sufficiente scrivere l'handle @roma@citiverse.it o @localhost@citiverse.it ma quello del link è il modo più sicuro) 3) a quel punto potremmo cliccare sulla scheda conversazioni
NB: alcune potrebbero sembrarvi vuote, perché i messaggi che “contengono” si vedono solo dopo che le avete seguite.
Per aprire una comversazione sulle comunità è invece sufficiente menzionare la comunità, per esempio @roma@citiverse.it o @localhost@citiverse.it all'interno del messaggio (possibilmente non nel primo paragrafo del messaggio) e pubblicare, come abbiamo scritto qui.
Per i più pigri? Ecco qua le "categorie" che abbiamo creato finora:

1) perché sconsigliate di menzionare la comunità nella prima riga? Chiedo, perché a me viene spontaneo indicare subito a chi mi rivolgo e se non capisco il motivo entro 3 secondi me ne scordo.
Me ne scordo di cosa? 😁
2) è possibile vedere da citiverse.it quale sia l'handle di una comunità, in modo da poterla poi menzionare qui (oltre alla ricerca da Friendica tramite URL)? Avete pubblicato l'elenco delle comunità attuali ma in futuro potrebbero essercene di nuove e poterne ricavare l'handle sarebbe utile;
3) giorni fa ho creato un account su citiverse.it per poter interagire con le comunità, a questo punto mi viene il dubbio che avrei potuto fare tutto con il mio account su poliverso.org senza farne uno nuovo anche lì. Corretto?
EDIT: 4) se faccio il follow di una categoria (es. "Lombardia") vale anche come follow per tutte le sue sottocategorie? Non credo...
1) perché sconsigliate di menzionare la comunità nella prima riga?
Perché viene una schifezza: la prima riga infatti diventa un titolo nelle piattaforme forum-like, quindi scrivere la menzione all'inizio rende orripilante il post. La cosa migliore è scrivere un primo paragrafo con un titolo riassuntivo della conversazione, poi la menzione e poi il resto del testo
Me ne scordo di cosa? 😁
😂😭
2) è possibile vedere da citiverse.it quale sia l'handle di una comunità
Generalmente è lo stesso nome della categoria. Per esempio se la categoria è https://citiverse.it/category/13/NOMECATEGORIA allora l'handle è al 99% @NOMECATEGORIA@citiverse.it ma quando è la prima volta che usi una comunità, ti conviene fare prima la ricerca, perché la comunità potrebbe non essere ancora stata collegata dalla tua istanza
3) giorni fa ho creato un account su citiverse.it per poter interagire con le comunità, a questo punto mi viene il dubbio che avrei potuto fare tutto con il mio account su poliverso.org senza farne uno nuovo anche lì. Corretto?
Non necessariamente: per esempio io presefrisco utilizzare un account social (Mastodon o Friendica) per scrivere nuovi post su citiverse.it perché lo trovo più comodo. Ma l'esperienza Forum è molto più ordinata e, soprattutto, NodeBB recupera molto bene i contenuti dalle altre istanze. Quindi in un cero senso è vantaggioso usare un account NodeBB. Inoltre se vuoi moderare una comunità, avere un account NodeBB è fondamentale.
Per concludere, direi che avere due account è meglio che averne uno solo
1) quindi il titolo del post, per chi usa Friendica, viene ignorato da nodeBB?
No, in effetti non dovrebbe affatto essere ignorato, ma siccome il titolo non lo uso quasi mai, non saprei risponderti... Magari prova a pubblicare un nuovo post con Titolo e vedi che succede
Volevo mettere un messaggio di prova, sono andato a cercare il link del forum di test su citiverse.it e mi sono accorto che avevo mandato un messaggio di prova giorni fa per vedere come funzionava e manco a farlo a posta quel messaggio aveva un titolo.
NodeBB ha usato il titolo che avevo messo su Friendica come titolo del post che ha creato su citiverse ma anche come prima riga del suo testo.
Newsmast is one of the most promising organisations pushing the fediverse forward with community-building, advocacy, and outreach. And Channel.org is bringing innovations in collective publishing and content curation.
Together, we're creating pathways to support organizations discover the power of federated, community-owned social infrastructure.
Two new profile widgets coming in the next #OpenScience flavour release:
📄 Most Recent Publication: showcase your latest work ⭐ Most Cited Publication: highlight your most cited publication 🔧 Quantitative metrics now hidden by default while we consider removing them entirely ( discussion here: indieweb.social/@bonfire/11492… ) ✨ New settings panel lets users toggle each widget on/off individually
This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference... Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ? Pinging among others: @jorgeluis @fresseng @brembs @JACoates @kfitz @pierre @markwilliams @openscience
Will I also be able to freely pick a publication of mine to feature on the profile? I think the most cited publication is often not the one that researchers are most interested in showing off.
Son contento delle belle energie che si stanno aggregando attorno a questo nuovo progetto, ossia la prima edizione del Velletri Buskers Festival, del quale posto ora una locandina, che ho realizzato personalmente con tanto amore, e anche con l'aiuto dell'interferenza artigianale, la quale mi ha permesso, con una di quelle che chiamo "foto dal futuro", di rendere bene l'idea della magia che vogliamo creare sulle pittoresche vie del centro storico e tutto intorno alla Torre Del Trivio, uno dei simboli più caratteristici di questa antica città. L'altro giorno ho fatto anche un sopralluogo tecnico tra i vicoli di Velletri, ebbene, non ho trovato neanche un centimetro quadro di terreno che non fosse in sanpietrino e in leggera pendenza, che come tutti sanno è proprio il tipo di terreno preferito dai circensi (🤣), perché gli pone sfide sempre diverse e non li fa annoiare mai. Del resto che vuoi fare, la cittadina è arroccata su un promontorio collinare a più di quattrocento metri sul livello mare. E infatti si sta una favola, tira proprio una bella arietta, il tipico posto dove vorresti stare alle 19.00 a fare l'aperitivo mentre a Roma si fa la schiuma fortissimo. Quindi insomma, save the date: 19 Luglio, prima edizione del Velletri Buskers Festival, e chi non viene fa la schiuma, fortissimo 🙌😅
L'immagine promuove il "Velletri Buskers Festival," la prima edizione del quale si terrà sabato 19 luglio. Il festival, organizzato dal Comune di Velletri con la collaborazione della Pro Loco Velletrae, si svolgerà in Piazza Cairoli a Velletri, con The Reggae Circus in programma alle 19.30, seguito da artisti di strada dalle 20.00. L'evento è parte del "Giubileo dei Giovani" e si svolgerà "Sognando per le vie del centro." La copertina dell'immagine mostra una donna che esegue una performance di fuochi d'artificio, con le fiamme che si stagliano contro il cielo notturno. Sullo sfondo, si intravede un edificio storico, probabilmente una chiesa, con una torre illuminata. Il testo è in italiano e fornisce informazioni dettagliate sull'evento, inclusi il luogo, l'orario e i contatti per ulteriori informazioni.

@Zughy quanto mi piacerebbe ce ne fosse di più, per poter abbandonare i social commerciali 👍😋 Comunque ecco come è andata: youtube.com/shorts/dBnQQZ9NQA8
interessante, ma non è molto intuitivo come "iscriversi". Ho cercato "musica" e trovato due gruppi, ma il tasto "iscriviti" non è presente nella schermata coi risultato della ricerca e cliccando sul nome del gruppo vedo solo dei post, e nessun link allo username federato del gruppo
@strk quando clicchi su uno degli account che ho inserito nel messaggio, vedi esattamente quel gruppo: 1) per iscriverti, seguire i post e partecipare ai thread in questione, è sufficiente seguirlo 2) per cerare un nuovo thread invece devi creare un nuovo messaggio in cui deve esserci almeno un primo paragrafo che sarà il titolo e la menzione del gruppo, per esempio @ musica @ feddit.it

@strk per le comunità Lemmy non c'è problema anche se le menzioni senza seguirle, Ma ricordati che se non le segue non puoi vedere gli aggiornamenti che transitano su quelle comunità. I gruppi Friendica invece vogliono che li segui
@lgsp indicano l'attività della comunità e provengono direttamente dalla pagina da cui le ho ricopiate, ma poi mi sono dimenticato di cancellarle e quindi ho deciso di lasciarle. Ero curioso di sapere se qualcuno mi avrebbe fatto la domanda fatidica: «Ma cosa significano le stelle accanto alle comunità?» 🤣
As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire #OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations... These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point. What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better? We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing. @open_science 1/2
For those curious about what's technically possible, here's the OpenAlex API docs: docs.openalex.org/ We could explore research networks, collaboration patterns, open access rates, interdisciplinary connections, and more... The question is: what would make profiles genuinely useful for how you work? Let's build this together 🔬 @open_science
One question I am often asked is : how do I find people in a given institution that work on a given field ? It is technically possible to get this from OpenAlex. One idea could be : allow to automatically create circles from field and institutions. For instance : a circle for a given university, or a circle for a given field, or the intersect of both. Bonfire helping find people and communities would be great !
OpenAlex has added a new metadata matching strategy co-developed by ROR and Crossref to its affiliation matching processes: ROR is also investigating the prospect of incorporating this new matching strategy into the ROR API in 2025.
Great that you integrate #OpenAlex! I really appreciate your efforts.
However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).
To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.
If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.
@nicebread This is exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for! we were thinking of hiding the quantitative metrics widget by default and letting users show it on demand if they want it... to be more aligned with coara.eu/agreement/the-commitm… (which also @fresseng pointed us to few days ago) Would this approach make sense to you? @openscience
@fresseng @openscience Not providing the metrics at all would be a value statement. But hiding it by default is definitely a step in the right direction!
Another idea, focused on the discussion content (and again depending on computational resources): Could you provide on-the-fly literature suggestions for current discussions? And in particular flag members of the community that have published to that topic?
Similar: Ping members of the community if a discussion touches an area of their expertise?
(Which all should be opt-in features, as not all members may want that).
This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference... Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ? Pinging among others: @jorgeluis @fresseng @brembs @JACoates @kfitz @pierre @markwilliams @openscience
I agree that it should definitely not be shown by default and prominently, that's for sure.
Whether this kind of information should be available in principle, for vanity searches or for people who go digging after them, one could discuss, I think.
In the German Reproducibility Network @GermanRepro, we developed an academic code of conduct: "Creating a friendly and intellectually stimulating space" (reproducibilitynetwork.de/coc/).
This explicitly says: "We discuss views and claims based on the evidence and the quality of arguments, not based on the status of the people making the claim, nor their personal characteristics or their academic rank."
This is the atmosphere I'd like to see at a campfire. Maybe more aspects of that CoC are inspiring for an academic Bonfire.
@GermanRepro What else could be extracted from #OpenAlex? I would find this helpful:
1. The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?) 2. The most cited publication 3. Affiliation history: Maybe we have a common university in our history?
If your computing resources and the framework allow dyadic information (i.e., how do I relate to every member in the community):
3. What is my coauthor network distance? (I.e., how many hops do you need). If <=3, show the link. 4. What is the publication of that member that is closest to my own works? (e.g., based on embedding dimensions of title and abstract)
That is information that would foster a substantive discourse.
Some relevant data that can be computed from the API and show on user profile: The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?) The most cited publication ...
Here's an updated mockup with widgets for: - Most recent publication/preprint - Most cited publication These are fairly easy to include... Currently showing only part of the available metadata to avoid overloading the widget, standard previews show more data (e.g., openscience.network/discussion…) We've already included the affiliation history (we call them present/past institutions, shown below the user profile avatar in the mockup...maybe wrong wording?) @open_science @GermanRepro
@nicebread @GermanRepro I'd argue against most cited as this isn't the best metric to promote. I'd suggest that most recent (preprint or open access) article and then one chosen by the individual. Not everyone would highlight their most cited work but what currently interests them most or what they're proudest of.
oh, just when they happened to reset my profile and now I have 5+ OpenAlex accounts again, and while one has most, it also have stuff of other people 🙁
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be wonderful to be able to move an account and all its posts from a Mastodon instance. Describe the solution you'd like Follo...
Here is another feature that came to my mind that might be interesting to put in the roadmap.
As OSN aims to provide the place to write articles and peer-reviews, with DOIs for each, as well as to provide DOIs for online scientific communication that is worth it, there is a deeper connection to make to ORCID. Aside from reading from ORCID, Bonfire could write these contributions to the scholarly record directly to the authors' ORCID records, with no action from them apart from allowing once Bonfire to write to their profile. Moreover, this would be a certified piece of information, making Bonfire part of the trust network that enables trustworthy scientific conversation.
To my opinion, that would involve two things. The first one is to certify Bonfire, the software, as an ORCID integrated service provider. This is free of charge. All information is there : info.orcid.org/vendors-and-ser…. For example, PKP is certified.
The second one, is the actual writing to the authors' ORCID record. It requires being an ORCID member, and is thus not free of charge. However, I think this is not to be done by Bonfire itself but rather by the institution that installed a particular instance. For example, in my university, we already are ORCID members, for other reasons, and using another piece of software to write to ORCID would be free of charge.
Thus, the main task for the Bonfire would be to get certified.
The services listed here are ORCID-recommended Certified Service Providers (CSPs) that adhere to best practices recognized throughout the research ecosystem. If your service is not on this list, learn more […]
@liaizon Kinda sorta, but not really. 😀 @encyclia just consumes the public ORCID API, it doesn't try to channel anything back into ORCID records, nor indeed does it give people any facilities at all for original authorship. It's strictly an ORCID → ActivityPub one-way bridge.
I wrote a bit about the similarities and differences between Encyclia and OSN in the FAQ: encyclia.pub/faq#opensciencene… OSN's scope has expanded since then, but I think it's still all accurate! 🙂

Over the next few days, people that have accounts on mastodon.social and mastodon.online may see a donation banner in our official mobile apps. Here's the background on this small message.
Is there any reason why you are allowed to use the necessary data for marketing things? Is there any consent on mastodon.online and/or mastodon.social which allow you to act like that?
"… if they are signed-in to an account on one of our instances, and only if their account has existed for four weeks or more… "
Es wird also ausgewertet, auf welcher Instanz die nutzende Person aktivi ist und wie lange die Anmeldung her ist. Also mind. 2 Datenwerte, die hier "getrackt" werden. Für das Funktionieren der App oder die Funktionsfähigkeit der Instanzen sind beide Informationen nicht notwendig.
(Da dies auch für andere Instanzen ausgeweitet werden soll, ist es also keine einmalige Einzelmaßnahme sondern möglicherweise auch periodisch nutzbar.)
Dies war der Grund die #Mastodon-App zu löschen, denn es gibt genügend andere Apps.
@rriemann Was dabei aus meiner Sicht **noch** schlechter ist:
Da man die Anzeige leicht wegblenden können soll und sie im Nachgang auch nicht wieder erscheinen soll, muss ich auch noch tracken, welche nutzende Person die Meldung angezeigt bekommen hat und diese weggeklickt hat. Es sind also schon 3 Datenpunkte, die man benötigt, um das Ganze technisch umsetzen zu können:
* Instanz, * Dauer seit Anmeldung auf der Instanz, * Banner bereits angezeigt.
@dnkrupinski @rriemann we do not collect any data with this feature. This is all done client-side in our mobile apps (which are open source). The app knows your instance and sign up date (for your currently signed in account) because these are already part of the account data. It makes an anonymous API request to know if there is a campaign in progress. If so, the app gets some text to display. The only data collected is for the donation, if the user chooses to initiate a payment.
Egal ob Mastodon App oder Web Client, es muss zumindest geprüft werden, ob die benutzende Person die Spenden-Anzeigen bereits angezeigt bekommen hat. Die Anzeige soll ja nur einmalig erfolgen. Das System muss also ein Kennzeichen setzen, ob eine Anzeige für den/die Nutzer:in bereits erfolgt ist und bereits "abgelehnt" wurde. Es ist also ein Datum **pro** Nutzer:in, und somit ein Nutzer:in-bezogenes Datum.
Darüber hinaus: Für die Verwendung einer Instanz und das Funktionieren der Mastodon App benötigt man aber weder Kenntnis der Instanz (nur der installierten Version) noch die Information zur Dauer seit der Anmeldung. Es werden also Informationen des Accounts abgefragt, die für das Funktionieren **nicht** notwendig sind. Man kann hieraus schließen, dass hier Daten von der App abgefragt werden, für welche die App im Vorfeld keine Einwilligung eingeholt hat.
Ich habe meine Entscheidung getroffen: die Mastodon App ist gelöscht, und ich werde sie sicherlich nicht wieder installieren. (Mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass diese App die Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit nicht erfüllt.)
I feel that all Mastodon Administrators should have an option to place a non-intrusive (rotating) banner on their instance.
As in this case, it can be used to make users aware that funding is welcome for stability.
But I can also imagine that it is a way to attract some income from other parties. If their users do not like it, then those users can move to another instance that does not do that.
I would think positively about parties that support my instance.
@stux they do, we know, and we appreciate everyone running Mastodon! We are trying this as a first step and have ideas for ways to do this more broadly for other instances in the future.
what about the new non-profit org in EU supposed to arrive in 2025 ? I understand there is some work to create it but lots people will prefer donate when this new non profit structure is created
@jimmysjolund thanks for asking about this. We don't track or have a way to check that, so the simple answer is yes. It should only be one quick tap to dismiss the message, but we know it is not ideal when you're already donating. We appreciate everyone that supports us, and thank you for your patience! 🫶
quick question, but for those on #patreon do they get to remove and not see these banners? Much rather stepup and support Mastodon rather than pay for #twitter or #bluesky I mean there is the @buyfromeu movement. Mastodon may not have the prettiest or easiest sign up (yet) but it will outlive twitter and maybe bluesky
@Goldmaster the banner will still show (and can be easily dismissed with just a tap) if you already support us via Patreon - thanks for doing that, by the way - we don't make a connection between your account and Patreon or track you, so there's no way to premptively hide it. We hope it's only a small inconvenience.
It would be better if this post is not visible for users who are not on mastodon.social/online. If I read your bio it looks this account is for Mastodon in general, not mastodon.social/online. So to avoid confusion I highly recommend to open a different account for mastodon.social/online users.
@joeneXtra there is an account @staff that is specific for mastodon.social and mastodon.online; and @MastodonEngineering that is about the software. This account @Mastodon covers the project as a whole, and although this blog post refers to this campaign being visible to people who use our servers, the funding discussion is about the whole organisation. Apologies for any confusion. We aim to communicate about our plans, organisation, fundraising, as well as the software, as clearly as we can.
@MastodonEngineering Thanks for the explaination. So please use next time the @staff account, because a funding campaign like this is not related to my and other servers.
It doesn't hurt to remind users from time to time that the server they're using has running costs that needs to be met. It's free advertising for other admins too and I expect they're grateful for it.
I'm not in either of those servers but was interested to see this post and subsequent discussions. If it's restricted in future I'll be disappointed.
I think this is a great idea, and i personally would prefer to give direct support than via patreon. Hope it will be successful and more people will consider supporting you.
Sorry Mastodon social. When you booted me and conspired with other instances on it to get me booted there, I would never give you a penny. Also, I advise others to avoid these badly run instances that maliciously boot their own members because of their own lack of understanding and investigation.
Nice. It would be cool if we admins could customize it. Maybe adding why is important to donate or a thank you message. But I guess it could be used by bad admins to advertise stuff that’s not related to the instance 🤔 I suggest there should be an option for the user to hide it forever if they wish to. Also thank you for all the amazing work the Mastodon team is doing lately! ✨

I joined Mastodon in part because it's anti-corporate, but I can't get over how much advertising I still see here. Yes, it's for struggling artists or small businesses or charities, but advertising is ispo facto wearying no matter how good the cause. Doubly so when it doesn't stop even after you've bought or donated.
I make a small monthly donation, but I understand that many don't and could use a nudge. I don't have an alternative suggestion. Just letting you know how I feel.

Our #Mosaic initiative makes this possible: build your specific tools (open knowledge management, coordination, governance, resource sharing, ...), or integrate your existing tools in your digital space while federating with the wider ecosystem.
We’re excited to present the Open Science Network initiative, a first step towards open and federated digital spaces designed to push the boundaries of open science and scholarly communication.

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism. Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby. Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there. 🔧 github.com/bonfire-networks/bo…
This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥

Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! 🛤️ This morning we added a small but meaningful feature: 🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available. ➡️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️ It will be available in next release to test it out!
After a mental health break, release v2.4.7 of Ktistec is out. The biggest improvement is the addition of a command line switch/option to run garbage collection on startup. Garbage collection, in this context, trims down your database by deleting old ActivityPub objects that are not connected to your user through:
Attribution: Objects attributed to you or actors you follow
Activities: Objects referenced by your activities or activities of actors you follow
Collections: Objects in your timeline, notifications, or outbox
Content: Objects with hashtags, mentions, or in threads you follow
It reduced the size of my database ~24%. Details on usage, warnings, etc. are in the README.
Other changes:
Fixed
Use single quotes for string literals in SQLite queries.
Fix WITH RECURSIVE queries.
Fix broken CI workflow.
Changed
Present local internal URLs as external URLs in posts.
Limit pagination size for unauthenticated users.
Better convey actor/object deleted/blocked status on index pages.
Improve presentation of inline code and code blocks.

What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse on your terms? With Mosaic, we partner with you to build custom Bonfire extensions that connect your existing tools to the fediverse. 📣 Details: bonfire.cafe/post/01K06RMXVE6A…
Connect your existing tools to the fediverse with Mosaic
Your organisation's favorite apps, now with superpowers.
We all navigate a constellation of specialized tools daily. Organisations depend on CRMs, project management platforms, and financial systems. Communities coordinate through forums, chat and event platforms, and resource-sharing databases. Individuals track their lives across fitness apps, reading lists, streaming services, knowledge management tools and more.
Each app serves its purpose, but they each create isolated silos where valuable activities, insights, and connections remain trapped behind separate logins and walled gardens.
What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse according to your specific rules and boundaries?
🧰 Bridge your tools to the open web
Through our Mosaic initiative, leveraging the Bonfire modular framework, we offer like-minded organizations and communities the opportunity to build custom extensions that connect their homegrown or third-party applications to the fediverse. These bridges:
Import data from your existing tools
Transform it into rich ActivityPub activities for federation
Enable meaningful, two-way interactions
Respect your privacy boundaries and governance needs
The result? Your isolated tools become part of a connected, collaborative ecosystem.
Real-world examples: your tools, federated
Project management meets community feedback
Imagine your team uses a kanban board to manage development sprints. With a custom Bonfire extension, we could connect the service's API and monitor specific triggers like completed tasks, cards tagged with #feedback, or comments added.
When triggered, the extension would create ActivityPub objects with rich metadata: task description, relevant links, and progress context. Your fediverse followers would receive these as native posts they can react to, boost, and comment on. Their feedback would flow back through the extension as comments on the original card.
You would control the boundaries granularly, e.g. public for open source projects, followers-only for beta features, restricted to your instance for internal work, or anything in between. The two-way sync would ensure your project management tool remains the single source of truth while your community becomes an active participant in the development process.
Community resources go network-wide
Your mutual aid network could maintain a resource spreadsheet or database tracking offers, needs, and availability. Our extension would poll for new entries or status changes (by connecting to an API, listening to webhooks, or even directly reading the database or spreadsheet itself), converting them into structured ActivityPub objects with standardised properties for location and resource type taxonomy tags, and custom properties for quantity and urgency.
When someone marks "10 wool blankets available" or "urgent: need baby formula," it would federate as a rich post that other instances can parse intelligently. Neighboring mutual aid groups would see these in dedicated feeds or maps, filtered by resource type or geographic proximity.
The extension could handle resource matching across networks, suggesting possible connections between needs and offers while respecting each network's autonomy.
Events that travel beyond platform borders
Your organisation's calendar contains everything from public conferences to internal meetings. The extension would connect via calendar APIs (CalDAV, Google Calendar API, etc.) and intelligently parse event metadata: detecting whether events are public, extracting registration links, and identifying capacity limits.
Public events would become rich ActivityPub Event objects that federated platforms can display natively—Mobilizon and Bonfire instances would show them in event listings, Mastodon users would see them as interactive posts. RSVPs would flow back through via ActivityPub federation, updating your attendee count in real-time.
The extension could handle timezone conversions, recurring events, and last-minute changes. When you update event details, it would send an update to ensure all federated copies stay synchronised.
The possibilities are endless
Imagine federating your collaborative playlists to spark music discovery across communities. Or sharing fitness milestones that inspire distributed workout challenges. Or creating transparent financial reporting that builds trust with your supporter network.
Ready to give your tools superpowers?
The examples above showcase just a glimpse of what's possible when we bridge isolated tools to the fediverse. While these specific integrations are just ideas, they represent the transformative potential of Bonfire, and we're ready to build them with you.
Mosaic is a unique service where the Bonfire team works with you to co-design and build custom extensions entirely shaped around your community's needs.
Mosaic is perfect for you if:
You're frustrated by data trapped in isolated platforms
Your community wants to participate more but faces too many barriers
You believe in transparency and collaborative approaches
You're ready to pioneer new models of digital cooperation
What we offer:
Custom extension development tailored to your specific tools and workflows
Full control over privacy boundaries and federation rules
Ongoing support as your needs evolve
The opportunity to be among the first to explore federated tool integration
Let's start a conversation.
Whether you want to federate your project management, open up your resource database, or imagine entirely new possibilities, we're here to build it with you. Your use case could become the next example inspiring others to break down their digital silos.

Hello #BSDCafe friends! After some thorough testing, I've decided to introduce @nileane 's TangerineUI ( @TangerineUI ) as an optional interface for our #Mastodon instance. In my opinion, its lovely colors bring a cheerful and calm vibe to the interface, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it. Rest assured, all other current interfaces - the Mastodon Bird UI ( by @rolle - which is set as default theme for many languages) and the stock - remain unchanged. Enjoy!

Deciding to use an external library for convenience can take its toll. My latest blog post explains what happened some days ago and why I moved away from Ktorfit, halting all my other (more needed) tasks.
anyway, i'm glad i found raccoon developer on mastodon, it's the best lemmy client ever for android, thanks. sadly it doesn't really recognized 🥲
i love the appearance of full post layout but i don't like the way it also shows the body of the post on the timeline, is changing the post body max lines to 0 do-able? i'll make the issue for this in github if it's possible to implement, i won't if it's a 'wontfix'.
changing post body max lines to 0 making it will be unlimited
@rvyhvn yes, open an issue please it will be doable! I am a little behind with the developments but I am going to release a beta in the following weeks!
Il primo rilascio dello staff esteso di mastodon porta ad alcuni interessanti miglioramenti dell'interfaccia e delle funzionalità
Abbiamo rinnovato l'interfaccia web mobile per imitare le app native, con azioni importanti facilmente accessibili in una barra degli strumenti inferiore che libera più spazio per la tua cronologia. Abbiamo anche iniziato a sperimentare modi per rendere la navigazione più coerente su tutti i dispositivi e per rendere i contenuti pertinenti (come gli hashtag seguiti e i contenuti di tendenza) più facilmente individuabili.
We’re excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.
Improved profile features, enhanced list management, refreshed navigation, and the initial part of our Quote Posts implementation. All of these and more, in our latest release.

Improved profile features, enhanced list management, refreshed navigation, and the initial part of our Quote Posts implementation. All of these and more, in our latest release.
Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.
We hope you’ll enjoy the enhancements in Mastodon 4.4, and we’re grateful for your support and feedback. We’re a small team, and we depend on your donations to continue making Mastodon better with features and updates. Please contribute to support our mission if you can.
@collectifission Ivory's quotes are not proper quote posts, but more of a rich preview when a post contains "RE: <status url>” We are implementing quote posts with full control for the user (choose if you want to be quoted, retract a previous quote…) which requires proper server and client support (see blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…) @Mastodon
Is it now possible to somehow create quote posts through the REST API, if I have some app or tool of my own using the API, or does it only work for now when the quote is coming from another (non-Mastodon) instance over ActivityPub?
@mackuba This is not yet possible. The only way to see quotes right now is with self-quotes from external ActivityPub servers that support part of our FEP.
Thank you!! Perhaps it has been addressed, but 4.4 doesn't seem to include a total opt-out for QRT. Are there explained reasons for this? Personally I love QRT, but I know people who doesn't, for various motives. Thanks!!
I want to sincerely thank you and the whole team for making my life better through Mastodon. You all do so much good in the world. After X and the state of social media, this is very much still needed. Thank you for providing me my happy place.
Would be nice to get any explanations of the different post-install or depreciation messages of some update steps. I ignored all of them and it went well. However - in some cases additional steps might be required as per the hints after completion of a specific update step. Regardless of this, many thanks for the great work to the Mastodon team.
it’s the same ugly animation bug when starring a post, and randomly jumping discover thread during scroll… two things I really wish to be fixed for a long time now
'... showing how many of the people you follow are following that person ...' This feature can be abused to detect someone's follow. [X] Drop it.
What happened to this? blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/ It's a very reasonable explanation to skip the quotes. Discussions don't become endless then.
Found this: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/
'You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.' Sounds confusing.
Did anyone else experience hash changes for typescript@patch version 5.8.2 from hash 5786d5 as shipped with mastodon release 4.4.0 to hash 8c6c40 (and similar for version 5.7.3) in the `yarn install immutable` step?
And why did the original post provoke 50x errors on several mastodon sites?
@GambaJo yes, you need to follow an account to add it to a list. However, you can mark a list so that the members do not appear in the main feed, using the "Hide members in Home" option.

I understand some sites' RSS feeds do this (RTÉ truncates the RSS article for example), but luckily Capy Reader can fetch the rest of the article.

From now on, the Fediverse will be flooded with numerous new wannabe instances, like it happened in the past with WordPress. Great.
I see this new feature not as positiv or a good addition to the Fediverse. Of course, I can be wrong about that.
Time will tell.
