If I were to #auction off two #guitars from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram for #EatonFire #Altadena Charities and rent, would any of you in the #fediverse be interested? They’re beautiful pieces. Let me know.

I am still curious what your thoughts are regarding algorithms and echo chambers. I get that an #FYP is part of what draws mass attention to a social media platform, but it also has the tendency to turn a platform into a biased feed. Most of the #Fediverse advertises the lack of any kind of feed algorithm as an intentional feature of the platform. How is the #Loops #FYP generated and do you believe it’s prone to creating echo chambers?

Something Fediverse related that I am working on —

Toddlerverse

Basically, what I have been thinking about is —

What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.

(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)

(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)

Oi #Fediverse..

Check out this 2min walkthrough of #Emissary's upcoming data migration tool. It's the last big feature I'm delivering in 2025.

It uses the "LOLA" data portability spec to transfer account data from one server (like Bandwagon.fm) to a new one (like bandwagon.your-band-here.biz)

No CSV files required. Just authenticate and approve, and everything just moves.

There's tons more to do, but I'm confident this will be live by Christmas. 🤘🏻

Looks fab!

Concerned #accessibility is after all currently being worked on.

I ❤️ #monetization options are planned, although concerned "ad free" options suggest ads are planned as part of the roadmap?

Absence of #AI is refreshing!

Is #UnifiedPush part of "push notifications", or just feeding everything via #Google / #Apple? (cue usual: "They're encrypted. Don't ask whether metasdata / future decryption / #MobileLinux matter" discussion)

Project Moebius, better editing and live streaming look very cool! ❤️

Finally, a regular reminder to please avoid creating a digital 1% elite by focusing "For you" on relevance not rolling snowball boosting of already popular accounts/content.

Thanks for all your amazing hard work! 💕 You rock!

Plot twist: TikTok's "secret sauce" is recommendation ML + video encoding (likely ffmpeg like the rest of us).

They built their empire on open source foundations.

We're doing the same with @loops but keeping it open, federated, and yours.

The magic was open source all along.

Hey everyone,

Today, @joynewacc and I had the pleasure of talking to two and welcoming two new members to the Gaza Verified family.

They are:

• Ahmad (@goodahmad)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse and contribute to their fundraisers if you can. (And please share this so others can do the same.)

Remember that you can see a list of our members and their fundraisers in one place (ordered by those who have raised the least in the past week) at:

Seit ich regelmäßig Lemmy-Communitys in meinen Beiträgen erwähne (z. B. hier), habe ich je nach Community sehr viel mehr Reaktionen auf meine Beiträge, die dann aber weitgehend von Lemmy und nicht vom Rest des Fediverse kommen.

Ist Friendica mit Lemmy besser als mit dem restlichen Fediverse verbunden? Wie sind Eure Erfahrungen?

Ever wonder why you see the #fedi22 hashtag in bios?

Yeah, that's my fault.

I built a People Directory in 2022 for the #fediverse that used that hashtag for verification.

I'll improve it and make it way better, perhaps with Starter Pack support 😉

In the upcoming release you will be able to follow any blog on the XMPP network directly by clicking on the [Follow]button without being mutually friends (like it was until now), its a small change but with big impacts 😁!

We wrote a detailed and accessible article that explains the differences between the #XMPP network and the #Fediverse and shows how blogs are handled on the XMPP network a bit more in details 😸

Oh, there's no denying that @dansup has done a great job.

I'm even pleasantly surprised by the addition of the playback "speed" option. But on the app, it's not yet possible to pause playback as you can on the web interface.

Enjoy ^^ That will be for a future version!

EDIT: Okay, not absent but complex to use.

Made in Canada.

@evan I'm honestly speechless seeing you launch https://photos.cosocial.ca

Your StatusNet software changed everything for me. I ran it until 2016, and it led me to Mastodon, which eventually inspired Pixelfed in 2018.

You've been my hero since day one. To see you now using Pixelfed... this moment feels impossibly full circle.

Thank you for everything you've built and for inspiring generations of federated software builders.

The future is federated. ❤️

I like how on Pixelfed every so often someone will find your profile and think "Oh I like that one, and that one, ooh yeah that one too..." and you get this delightful little trail of likes on random stuff, all from a single person. #Pixelfed #Fediverse

Never thought a simple follower list would turn into this!

Multi-tab experience, seamless search, smart suggestions, polished interactions, and we're only talking about the Followers screen.

Hey #Fediverse!

I'm building a Sound Library for Loops, my #ActivityPub video project, to let users add free audio to their videos.

I'm already looking into integrations with #FunkWhale and Bandwagon.

What other sources for free, libre, or public domain (CC-BY, CC0, etc.) music and sound effects should I check out?

The new Loops app is brat.

I added a modal that explains how to remote follow, isn't that neat?

I just logged in to my account to take a look. As I do not have much time to look around I only verified my login and checked the general page structure.

Can't wait to upload some videos there. Thank you very much @dansup and team for creating this fediverse addition.

Gen Z doesn't want your Twitter clone lol.

They've already chosen: Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok. That's their language.

If the fediverse stays stuck building for our generation, we've already lost.

They need alternatives built for them, not us.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but *really* hoping it's based on relevance not popularity so we can avoid the problems of centralized social with it snowballing the success of the already successful 1% and ragebait engagement traps.

Bring the people what each unique individual actually wants, not what has already been made popular by the lowest common denominator (ie lizardbrain ragebait).
