#Mastodon has had a nice little uptick in sign-ups and activity from #Taiwan after a facebook post recommending it as an alternative to facebook and Instagram for Taiwanese users went viral on facebook, bringing in about 20K new users over the span of two days to mastodon.social, g0v.social, m.cmx.im and a few more.

@p @epsi @Stellar @NonPlayableClown Are they actually going to leave #4chan then? Make a new forum? Spin up their own #rebased / #Soapbox / #Mastodon instance on the #Fediverse?

Seems like many users are leaving for #8chan tho.

Given the ability to transfer servers on #Mastodon have you, or do you know anyone that has completed this process?

Curious to hear your thoughts on the process and any TLDR issues that may occur.

I'm debating shifting off of the main Mastodon.Social server to a more photography based one so that my explore and live feeds are more relevant.

Don't forget to boost posts so that others can see them.

This is important to keep Mastodon lively.
We are the algorithm here.

open questions for #history #mastodon: does anyone have examples of historical European peasant uprising that lead to direct regime changes? I can think of couples but they are all Chinese ones.🙏🙏🙏

are there any mastodon forks that don't cache media

(and i really mean mastodon. i am already very familiar with *oma, misskey, etc)

I just discovered why some of my followers from larger #Mastodon instances (like mastodon.social) would mysteriously unfollow me after a while!

A pull request was just merged in Mastodon that fixes a critical bug in their follower synchronization mechanism.

Turns out Mastodon implements the FEP-8fcf specification (Followers collection synchronization across servers), but it expected all followers to be in a single page collection. When followers were split across multiple pages, it would only see the first page and incorrectly remove all followers from subsequent pages!

This explains so much about the strange behavior I've been seeing with #Hollo and other #Fedify-based servers over the past few months. Some people would follow me from large instances, then mysteriously unfollow later without any action on their part.

Thankfully this fix has been marked for backporting, so it should appear in an upcoming patch release rather than waiting for the next major version. Great news for all of us building on #ActivityPub!

This is why I love open source—we can identify, understand, and fix these kinds of interoperability issues together. 😊

@GossiTheDog "Mastodon" really needs to get cracking on full data portability, IMHO.

It's a shame this hasn't been pushed higher up on the list of things to do.

I think many people have invested quite a bit of time and effort into their posts and profiles, and moving all that data, or somehow managing a switch-over doesn't seem to be that simple, if at all possible.

Does anyone know where to find a list of posts or conversations that you muted on #Mastodon web. This seems like it should be easy to find but I've looked extensively.

Mastodon Pro Tip: Ever miss "that good post" you made a while back? Just search for it! Type in the search bar:

from:me word

And there it is.

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

URGENT: The UK government must change the Online Safety Act to protect safe, non-commercial blogs, forums and fediverse.

Reddit, aita?

I am a liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor. I was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist.
I started, "Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"

Suddenly, a student and Tesla owner stood up and said "how much does this gallon of milk cost?"

I smirked Jewishly and smugly replied "28 dollars, you stupid Christian"

He then said "Wrong. that's the cost of eggs. If Karl Marx was real...it would be free by now. If Biden were president...this milk would cost over 10,000 dollars."

At this point I was visibly shaken, and dropped my chalk and copy of John Maynard Keynes' sex diary. I stormed out of the room crying and denouncing white supremacy.

The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Small Government" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country. I lost my tenure and was fired the next day.

Stop using crossposters.

Not to, like, force y'all to do something, but crossposters are self-defeating.

It's far better to commit to a network rather than just make a carbon copy of yourself, because if you're posting exactly the same things, then what even is the point of having two networks?

That's just unnecessarily redundant.

Happy meownday!

Haben wir irgendwo noch eine #Mastodon Plüschfigur für den Linienbus von @MeierSchulze in #Hamburg? @ErikUden eine Idee?

yo i have a idea for fedi front ends.
who can i contact to get this idea proposed?

yo I contacted alex gleason but he ignored me. :blobcatheartbroken:


imagine if you press the "/" key when nothing is selected the post box is highlighted like in roblox chat and google search.

i personally think it would be neat. Less need to touch the mouse.

We at Vivaldi are the only browser company with a Mastodon server. We have chosen to support the Fediverse in every way we can. We will continue to do so as we need options away from Big Tech.

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight mentions #Mastodon and #PixelFed as alternatives that are "not as desperate to fall in line with trump".

Important edit:
Meanwhile, the admin responded and clarified the situation. It was a configuration mistake. #antifa was auto blocked because of spam (if I got this correctly?) and #NoAfD basically for the same reason. The latter, however, wasn't resolved that fast because it has never been reported. Which is believable because it's super German specific.

@OddDev Thanks for reporting; this has been fixed.

There is a small number of hashtags that trended early in the history of the "trending hashtags", and not since then, that had a misconfiguration applied to them some years ago.

Because Mastodon has still not improved the trending hashtags admin feature since then, there are no admin tools to manage hashtags that aren't trending, so the only way we can (quickly) resolve this scenario is once they are discovered and reported.

Update: they’ve reportedly reinstated the #antifa hashtag. As well as #noAFD, which was, apparently, also blocked.

Hey FLOSS.social, do you understand that “antifa” stands for “anti fascist?” Do you know what folks who are anti-anti fascist are? That’s right, they’re fascists.

While you’re at it, you might also want to look up what the “F” and the “L” in your name stand for.

If they don’t fix this ASAP, I’d recommend a swift #fediblock by any instance that isn’t fascist.

I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/
