Good morning everyone @Friendica Support
I would like to try to understand why from Friendica I can't connect to the Wordpress blog of @.mau. :friendfeed: already federated with @Matthias Pfefferle plugin, which is instead displayed correctly by Mastodon.
The blog is xmau.com/ while the user who publishes is @Notiziole di .mau.
If I paste the address of this post xmau.com/wp/notiziole/2024/08/…
in the Friendica toolbar, I get an error, while if I paste it on mastodon, I can view the post (here is an example: mastodon.social/@
Furthermore, if I try to search on Friendica for the user @Notiziole di .mau. I can see it, but if I try to follow it, I still get an error.
NB: I also have federation problems with Lemmy and not just with Friendica
Have any of you figured out what the problem might be that prevents Friendica and Lemmy from federating with that blog (but not Mastodon)?

Le madri, invece, se lo scrivono e poi imparano.
Ad oggi, che i manuali d'uso sono sempre piu' bistrattati e talvolta fatti molto male, la pazienza di chi sa' e vuole spiegare, e' importante.
A volte anche chi sa' impara dall'"ignorante" nuove prospettive in cui "il problema" viene visto e anche nuove possibili soluzioni.
Serendipity - uno strumento per offrire alle persone diversi modi per esplorare il fediverso
Quanto è difficile per i principianti scoprire account da seguire, postando cose che li interessano?
Gli algoritmi di raccomandazione sono un problema, ma la scoperta semi-casuale è una cosa che le persone trovano utile.
L'anno scorso è venuta a strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz l'idea di creare un'app separata con una serie di algoritmi di scoperta con adesione volontaria, pensati appositamente per trovare persone da seguire.
Questo è il progetto:

Serendipity - a tool to give people a variety of ways to explore the fediverse
A lot of folks are pretty traumatised by The Algorithms(TM), thanks to their time on the DataFarms. So there's a strong aversion to them in a large chunk of the fediverse community. But 'chrological order, from most recent' is an algorithm.Codeberg.org

A lot of the criticism of the fediverse focuses on how hard newbies find it to discover accounts to follow, posting stuff they're interested in. Despite all the downsides of recommendation algorithms, semi-random discovery is one thing people find them useful for.
Last year I came up with an idea for a separate app with a range of opt-in discovery algorithms, just for finding people to follow;

Lemmy interoperability with other Fediverse projects
Hi everyone!
I'm new here and I wonder if you have any advice/testimonials to share regarding Fediverse interoperability.
I'm working on a post about it for my blog series The Future is Federated. I’d like to do a show & tell, demonstrating what interoperability looks like between #Lemmy and #Friendica, #Mastodon + a federated blog to start with.
There’s a superb post by @informapirata@mastodon.uno about Lemmy and Friendica communities: informapirata.it/2024/01/02/ma… and I wonder if you have ever tried further integrations.
I know this sounds crazy, but does #Phanpy work with Lemmy? I’m asking because I use it with not only #Mastodon but also #Pixelfed and Friendica.
Anyway, any testimonials and tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Quando si parla di accessibilità (cioè di un diritto universale sancito nel 2006 dalla Convenzione ONU sui diritti delle persone con disabilità), l'#AltText assume una connotazione ben precisa: è uno standard internazionale specifico (W3C), che prevede un utilizzo specifico, con uno scopo specifico: garantire accesso e partecipazione inclusivi a tutte le persone non vedenti o ipovedenti.
Questo è anche il position statement ufficiale di #MastodonUno. 😉

Siamo impegnati a sensibilizzare la #UnoCommunity a un utilizzo responsabile del #AltText.
Lo facciamo e lo faremo sempre con una consapevolezza: i cambiamenti culturali più profondi non sono mai calati dall'alto, sono processi che agiscono nei cuori e nelle menti delle persone.
Più che "spingere" all'uso responsabile del AltText, desideriamo "attrarre" all'uso responsabile del AltText: non deve essere una (nostra) obbligazione, deve diventare una (vostra) convinzione. 😉

Flipboard rafforza il suo legame con il Fediverso, social web open source
Flipboard, un'app di social magazine dell'era Web 2.0 che si sta reinventando per capitalizzare la spinta rinnovata verso un social web aperto , sta rafforzando i suoi legami con il #Fediverso, il social network di server interconnessi che include app come Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Wordpress e, col tempo, Instagram Threads, tra le altre.
Giovedì, la società ha annunciato che sta espandendo le sue integrazioni del Fediverso ad altri 400 creatori di contenuti in Flipboard e che sta introducendo le notifiche del fediverso nell'app Flipboard stessa.
Quest'ultima novità consentirà agli utenti di #Flipboard di vedere i loro nuovi follower e altre attività relative ai contenuti che condividono nel fediverse direttamente nell'app Flipboard. Ciò segue l'introduzione dell'anno scorso di un'integrazione di Mastodon nell'app , in sostituzione di Twitter, e l'introduzione del supporto per ActivityPub , il protocollo di social networking che alimenta i social network open source e decentralizzati che includono Mastodon e altri software.

Conviene essere molto chiari su un punto: se si ritiene che un utente di #MastodonUno stia violando il regolamento o sia "borderline" con comportamenti non espressamente vietati, ci si deve limitare a segnalarlo privatamente: moderatori e amministratori si occuperanno di gestire il caso nel modo più opportuno.

If you are posting an image, video or audio on here, remember to add an alt text description if you can. This helps blind or deaf people access your post, and it also helps your post be much more widely shared.
Many people on here only boost posts that include a description. If you want your post to be boosted, add a description if you are able.
(If you are unable to add a description, you can include the hashtag #Alt4me which asks people to reply with a description.)

Mike Masnick joins the Bluesky Board, new ideas on microblogging focused on specific topics, and more.

While we’re busy enjoying the summer (or the Olympics), here is this week’s fediverse news.
The News
Mike Masnick, author of the ‘Protocols, not Platforms‘ paper has joined Bluesky’s Board of Directors. There has been a seat available since Jack Dorsey suddenly left the board a few months ago. In his personal announcement post, Masnick says that ‘Bluesky is the service that is coming closest to making the vision I articulated in my paper a reality‘. Masnick also explains that one of the key aspects that excites him about Bluesky is how ‘they recognize how a future version of the company could, itself, be a threat to the vision the current team has. As a result, they are designing the system to be technically resistant to such a threat.’
With the current implementation of Bluesky, two parts of the architecture (the Relay and the AppView) are theoretically decentralised, but with no incentive structure for other people to also run an alternative part of the infrastructure, nobody actually has done so. Furthermore, the Identity part of Bluesky is still fully centralised and under control of Bluesky, with no clear path to change this. This places Bluesky significantly behind other major fediverse software, who are all already fully resistant to future self-harm. As Masnick values this principle, it is worth seeing how his position on the board will influence the direction of the development of the AT Protocol.
Two new fediverse projects that stand out to me for a similar reason; they both shift away from ‘microblogging about anything you want’ to a community that is clearly defined by interests or topics. CollabFC is a football-based social network, that creates a specific network for football clubs. When you join a hub for a club, such as Liverpool for example, you have the possibility for a ‘local’ feed dedicated to Liverpool, as well as a feed for all other football instances. Gush is a platform that is in development for talking about video games. Part review site similar to BookWyrm and NeoDB, it focuses on posting about specific games. What is different about it is that each game ‘a first-class object that you can reference and share across the fediverse’. Both of these platforms are early in their lifecycle, but point in a direction of more focused discussion on fediverse platforms.
Bonfire shared some more information about their upcoming platform Mosaic. Full details will be available in September, but it looks like a front-end UI for displaying posts as a website instead of the regular feeds. Something similar is Servus, a CMS for Nostr, or Npub.pro, which are both experiments for Nostr to display posts not as a feed but a website as well. Meanwhile, the main aspect that is holding up the release of the ‘main’ version of Bonfire is a slow performance, and the Bonfire team put out two bounties for developers to help them fix this issue.
Threads held an AMA about the fediverse with Flipboard’s Mike McCue and Blockparty’s Tracy Chou. It seems relevant that Threads wants to promote their fediverse connection by hosting an AMA on their main account, but there were little answers that stood out or provided new information, with most answers talking more about a conceptual understanding of what the fediverse could be, more than what the actual rest of the fediverse outside of Threads actually looks like.
Manyfold is an open source self hosted platform for sharing your 3d printer files. They have been working on adding ActivityPub support, and the latest update added experimental early stage support for ActivityPub.
Link aggregator platform Kbin is getting closer and closer to being completely dead, with the main flagship instance kbin.social now also being offline. The lead developer could not keep up with work on the platform due to personal reasons for a while now. The project has been superseded by the hard fork Mbin, which has been around for a while now, and got another update this week.

È possibile aprire un nuovo thread su Reddit dal tuo blog wordpress o dal tuo account social? E ricevere le risposte direttamente nei commenti sotto il tuo blog oppure nelle risposte al tuo post?
È possibile?
::: spoiler Qui la risposta:
ASSOLUTAMENTE NO! Perché Reddit non ha nessuna voglia di farlo.
Tuttavia è possibile pubblicare un post dal tuo blog Wordpress federato su una comunità Lemmy (la versione libera e federata di Reddit) oppure aprire un nuovo thread su Lemmy utilizzando il tuo account Mastodon, Friendica, Pleroma, Misskey o Pixelfed!

C'è una sfida di civiltà da vincere: entrare (e rimanere) almeno nella Top 20 delle 1000 istanze più attive che non solo utilizzano maggiormente l’AltText, ma che lo utilizzano bene.
Ed è una sfida in cui il vero vincitore è il #Fediverso, che diventa più accessibile per tutti. 😉

Welcome back to another edition of the weekly-ish news of the fediverse. This edition contains the news of last week, as well as some news items from the previous few weeks that I’ve spotted while I was on holiday break. My holiday was indeed fully offline out of the feeds, but I could not resist afterwards to dig in to find out what happened while I was offline.
As a teaser: I’ve started working behind the scenes to launch something new with Fediverse Report, that will be in addition to the weekly newsletters. Stay tuned!
The News
GoToSocial’s latest release adds comment-controls, which allows people to determine who can reply to their posts. GoToSocial explains: ‘you’ll be able to configure your account so that new posts created by you will have an interaction policy set on them, which determines whether your instance drops or accepts replies, likes, and boosts of your posts, depending on the visibility of the post, and whether or not an account trying to interact with you is in your followers/following list.’
Safety has been a major conversation on the fediverse feeds recently, especially with Black people pointing out the lacking safety tools and major harrassment they experience on the fediverse. One aspect that facilitates the harassment is the default opt-out approach to federation; where racists and other bigots will simply spin up a new fediverse server and send (semi)-private messages with hate speech to Black people. This is why ‘just switch to a server with better moderation’ is such a problematic response; it does not actually fix one of the main ways Black people experience on the fediverse, while placing the onus on them to solve the problem. One interesting response is in building a separate network with ActivityPub based on allow-list federation, and I’m keeping a close eye on how this evolves.
PeerTube’s latest update adds ‘automatic video transcription using Whisper , a new comment policy “requires approval first”, auto-tagging/labelling of videos and comments based on specific rules and a comment moderation page for video publishers’. This blog post provides more details about the development story on adding the transcription feature.
Patchwork is an upcoming plugin system for Mastodon that is developed by Newsmast, that is tentatively scheduled to be released next month. The latest update by Newsmast showcases the variety of plugins that they’ll offer, including setting local-only posts, changing post length, and scheduling posts. The bigger part is also the addition of Channels, custom timelines that will allow external parties to hook into as well.
Some statistics that relate compare the different platforms. A comparison of sources of traffic to news site heise.de, showing how Bluesky has surpassed Mastodon in clicks. A new comparison by Kuba Suder shows the different ways people post on Bluesky that is not done via a PDS that is hosted by Bluesky company. In February this year, Bluesky started support for having people self-host their own Personal Data Server (PDS) that is not managed by their company. The amount of people who do so is small, with less than 100 active account. Significantly more people post onto Bluesky via their bridged ActivityPub account. Speaking of bridged accounts: Eugen Rochko has now bridged his Mastodon account to Bluesky. Rochko has been outspokenly critical of Bluesky in the past, saying that they should adopt ActivityPub instead of building their own protocol.
Some more updates by Ghost, who is getting along further with their ActivityPub implementation. The newsletter is now getting better connected to the fediverse, allowing you to follow it directly from your Mastodon account.
Mastodon moves their iOS app development in-house, and is recruiting a full-time iOS app developer. Up until now, the Mastodon iOS app was developed by two freelance developers.
A slightly obscure news update because I love interoperability: Guppe Groups have been around for a while, and are a way to get some semblance of Groups added onto microblogging platforms, functioning similar to hashtags. Now link-aggregator platform PieFed has added support for these types of groups, you can see an example here. I’m mentioning this news here because I think there is a lot more space to experiment with different platform designs that take inspiration from both microblogging, link-aggregators and forums, and this is a small example of it. PieFed added support for community wikis as well.
Bluesky released Starter Packs a month ago as a way to easy the onboarding process, and reactions on the rest of the fediverse were that this was a good idea that could potentially be copied. Statistics show however that the feature has not been actively used by the community. Part of the reason could be that signups to decentralised social networks in general have mostly stopped.
WeDistribute wrote about NeoDB, calling it ‘a review system for culture’. NeoDB is one of the more interesting platforms available in the fediverse, with an incredible wide variety of features. NeoDB themselves describes by drawing comparison to other platforms, saying ‘NeoDB integrates the functionalities of platforms like Goodreads, Letterboxd, RateYourMusic, and Podchaser, among others.’ NeoDB’s own pitch is taking fediverse platforms tendency to be ‘centralised platform concept + ActivityPub’ to the extreme, and I enjoy the simplicity of NeoDB is a fediverse review platform for culture more.
What is the fediverse? This question is answered by a tech-free explainer video by Newsmast, a new video series by WordPress.com, or a podcast episode by TheNewStack with Evan Prodromou.
The latest update for software forge Forgejo has foundational parts of ActivityPub based federation, and the first forgejo instances that have federation in some alpha form are starting to appear.

This system, the ‘apocalypseblock’ is intentional for Bluesky, but the openness of the protocol allows people to build other thread viewers that do not have this feature.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!
I'm an unpaid volunteer who runs five websites and five accounts helping people use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. These cause bills every month, which I pay.
If you want to help support these sites & accounts, you can buy me a coffee at:

Ho provato diversi sistemi per formattare questo post e nessuno di questi mi ha convinto...

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' ho provato diversi sistemi per rendere quel post compatibile con mastodon, meno invasivo possibile e leggibile. .
Mi sembra che finora non sia riuscito a trovare nessuna possibilità. Considerando che non è stato neanche pubblicato nella community di Lemmy, e non ho neanche capito perché, ho deciso di cancellarlo 🤣

@Simone ma sì, tanto a riscrivere un post meglio si fa sempre in tempo. E se non ci si riesce, vuol dire che era meglio non scriverlo... 😁

Sempre a proposito di #AltText.
Come scrivere descrizioni efficaci delle immagini pubblicate sulle piattaforme social?
Per tenere le cose semplici, consigliamo (soprattutto agli utenti di #Mastodon, #MastodonUno e a tutta la #UnoCommunity) di attenersi alle linee guida di accessibilità digitale della Harvard University.
Se si vuole approfondire, nella pagina si troveranno molte altre risorse preziose.
Poi magari dedichiamo anche un articolo ad hoc sul blog. 😉

Ps happy to jump over a 30min call if you want to share more about #mosaic and get some feedback from you
La storia del logo del #Fediverso. 🤓
Nell'articolo ci sono degli esempi di una funzionalità di #Mastodon che dovrebbe essere utilizzata maggiormente da giornalisti e blogger presenti su Mastodon: i post direttamente incorporati (embed) nelle pagine web.
É sufficiente cliccare sui 3 puntini (da interfaccia web) del post che si vuole incorporare e cliccare "Incorpora": verrà mostrato il codice da copiare e incollare direttamente negli editor. 😉

Let me start this article with a correction: there is no official fediverse logo. The one that most often comes up when you search for it is a widely used logo proposal. And it has quite an interesting history.Stefan Bohacek (stefanbohacek.com)

Vorrei chiarire: su M1 non blocchiamo istanze perchè risultano antipatiche a qualcuno, e non modifichiamo il codice di #mastodon (siamo su masto.host non si può!) blocchiamo solo server bloccati dalla vasta maggioranza del fediverso per gravi motivi.
la lista di server bloccati è verificabile solo via web e solo dagli iscritti qui: mastodon.uno/about
Esclusi questi, da M1 si può accedere a tutto il #fediverso, nessuna istanza esclusa e si è liberi di decidere quali server bloccare.

Whenever I need to optimize and I think I know where to start, I’m wrong. Not always, but close enough.
Measure first. Then optimize. Every time.

Come va il "vero" fediverso, quello delle origini, quindi senza le istanze wordpress e threads.net?
Va male, #Kbin, uno dei progetti più popolari che aveva attratto migliaia di nuovi iscritti è stato abbandonato e nell'ultimo mese tutto il #fediverso ha visto sparire ben 25mila utenti attivi.
Anche #mastodon non si sente molto bene, la fuga di utenti continua, nell'ultimo mese ben 13mila se ne sono andati.
In controtendenza c'è #wordpress e il nuovo social federato #threads che crescono bene.

Ma cos'è veramente il fediverso?
Non preoccupatevi, @docpop ha le risposte.
Andate su sull'account ufficiale Wordpress: @wordpressdotcom
per vedere il primo episodio di The Fediverse Files!
PS
Wordpress ha l'account ufficiale su threads.net, federato su mastodon, quindi se l'admin della vostra istanza lo blocca non sarete in grado di raggiungerlo.

Nasce Mistique Boudoir l'istanza Pixelfed tematica dedicata solo ed esclusivamente alle immagini erotiche e di nudo artistico
Un'ora fa, nel buio della mezzanotte, @Chiara [Ainur] [Айнұр] ha annunciato una nuova istanza #pixelfed dedicata al nudo artistico e all'erotismo:
Un ambiente dove ci si possa sentire liber* di esporre immagini di corpi (non necessariamente il proprio), senza pornografia (vietata) ma solo per il piacere di ammirare ciò che la natura ci ha donato. Le regole sono quelle di ogni altra istanza, con in più quella specifica di divieto di pubblicare immagini pornografiche. La moderazione sarà fatta di conseguenza. Mi piacerebbe che condividessero le loro opere anche fotograf* e modell* in modo da avere dei contenuti di qualità.
L'istanza non è al momento federata.
Chi mi conosce sa che sono una persona abbastanza fuori dagli schemi. Era da tempo che mi frullava nella testa l'idea di creare qualcosa di più meno nuovo, più o meno inusuale e quindi eccomi qua a raccontarvi della mia ultima follia: mystiqueboudoir.com
E' un esperimento di un'istanza Pixelfed tematica dedicata solo ed esclusivamente alle immagini erotiche e di nudo artistico. Un ambiente dove ci si possa sentire liber* di esporre immagini di corpi (non necessariamente il proprio), senza pornografia (vietata) ma solo per il piacere di ammirare ciò che la natura ci ha donato. Le regole sono quelle di ogni altra istanza, con in più quella specifica di divieto di pubblicare immagini pornografiche. La moderazione sarà fatta di conseguenza. Mi piacerebbe che condividessero le loro opere anche fotograf* e modell* in modo da avere dei contenuti di qualità.
Qualche amica ha gia aderito. Vediamo cosa succede, al massimo avrò buttato via 12€ e rotto le scatole come al solito a qualcuno così gentile da supportare tecnicamente queste mie idee.

in reply to Poliverso - notizie dal Fediverso ⁂ • • •I had no issues with Friendica so far and on loma.ml it everything works smoothly. Maybe it's the redirection of `.well-known/webfinger` that is not supported by Friendica?!?
There was an issue with Lemmy, maybe it is not yet deployed everywhere?
