Original post:

Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:

All you need to quote a toot on Mastodon is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".

But pasting a link also works, automatically. If the author is on Mastodon and allows quotes, the toot will appear in the compose field but can be detached. If not, it'll be just a simple, plain link.

In the end, both paths lead to the same destination: to quote a toot. And, if the author allows quotes, this will generate a notification to them.

So it's important to know that this also works with private mentions, aka DMs.

Even if you don't mention the author's profile (user@instance.tld), if you simply paste a link to their post, and they allow quotes, they will be notified.

If they don't allow quotes, it'll be just a simple and plain link, and no notification will be sent to them.

So be careful not to end up mentioning someone in a DM without the intention of doing so.

They'll be able to see the DM content where the link was pasted, as if you'd have mentioned them explicitly. But it was just a quoted toot.

Let's see what they say about this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/36685

#Mastodon #MastoAdmin #QuoteToots

I hope the Friends feature will come to #pixelfed and #mastodon too.

Not sure what's happening but somehow it seems like the gamedev.place instance is not fully syncing with loops.video just yet.

Might take a while until the instances communicate correctly with each other. I will check this again at the end of the week.

I want to know: what advantages does #PixelFed have over #Mastodon apart from its UX?

Hey everyone, the new Gaza Verified web site is now live!

https://gaza-verified.org/

If you’ve been waiting for verification, you can now sign up for a video call (the first ones will be tomorrow).

#GazaVerified #Gaza #Palestine #Mastodon #fediverse

#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

I'm doing this week at work a talk about the Fediverse (a beginner talk)...
what do you think, should be definitely in?

(of course I will show all the major plattforms (e.g. @Mastodon, @pixelfed, @LemmyDev, @info and so on.. maybe even @loops)

and I will definitely show the lovely 4min video from @_elena which is a great introduction to the Fediverse)

#mastodon #hubzilla #sharky #lemmy #pixelfed #loops #fediverse

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.

Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?

Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.

Hey there! Do you know if the YunoHost team has any plans to add Loops into their self-installation and deployment scripts? I'm super excited about the idea of YunoHost including Loops—then I could easily install it on my VPS and start sharing my videos. Can't wait! 😊

Announcing Gaza Verified

https://gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

• @Aseelsehwel
• @NouranKhaledGh
• @joynewacc
• @mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!

💕

The new PixelFed update looks so dope! It really brings me back to the good old days of the internet, where the focus was purely on community and content without the clutter of ads. It’s so refreshing to see people building something that really feels like the internet used to.

⚠️ There is another "verification" scammer on the move, do not click on their link, it is a scam!

Genuine Mastodon servers never demand verification like this.

If you see a scam post like this, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", then report it and make sure you select the option to forward the report to the origin server.

#Mastodon

Please report any account that claims that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it. It is a scam. Don't click the links. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain.

A question about the things, as you are already open sourcing it (which is great):

Have you considered, moving the #pixelfed project into a foundation like #mastodon @Gargron is doing it?
As you always say it's not for sale anyway, it's maybe a nice idea. Also the other handy services like @fedidb ,loop and so on..
That would give the people even more trust into the Fediverse 🥰
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/

I pitched this idea to an ISP I was consulting for last year. A free “linktree” style homepage, available with select domain packages.
This is my Fediverse version where the user can collect all their platforms together, in one place, as well as create one RSS feed for all their latest activity.

Pixelfed (and Mastodon) are increasingly targeted by spammers.

Our current AutoSpam detection using Naive Bayes isn't enough*, so we are building a better detection and mitigation system.

Not only will it leverage (optional) established 3rd party services like SpamHaus, but also threat intel from other trusted "reporter" instances like Pixelfed.social.

It's called https://FediThreat.net, and will be available soon!

noob question. Does @pixelfed and Mastodon play nice when moving. ie: can I move an account from Mastodon to Pixelfed and bring our followers with us ?

#activitypub #noob #pixelfed #mastodon

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.

This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.

Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.

This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.

Thank you 💞

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

I have 2 Friendica accounts and 1 on Mastodon. Both Friendica accounts are following the Mastodon one. If i like or share a posting of the #Mastodon account out of my Friendica timelines, these are acknowledged and counted on the Mastodon account. But only one of the #Friendica accounts triggers a notification on Mastodon, the other doesn't.
How can this be?

"Optimismus ist nur ein Mangel an Information." (Heiner Müller)

I’m proud to be joining @Mastodon’s Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.

I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.

But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because our strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉

About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.

I don't think Bluesky, Pixelfed or Lemmy would exist without Mastodon. Their project gave us a blueprint for what's possible.

Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

Kudos to @Gargron and the entire Mastodon team, they've done some foundational work that is often replicated in other projects!

Pixelfed is inspired by their amazing work, and we are adding filters based on their powerful implementation.

#Pixelfed and other #Fediverse platforms like #Mastodon were just mentioned on German television (ZDF) 🎉:

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).

When logging into GreatApe, you don't have to create an account on GreatApe.

Instead you can use your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.

That is what @muhammadzaidali is working on right now.

Microblogging peaked when Tumblr peaked. I'm surprised no one has made an app that adjusted the #Mastodon feed to look more like #Tumblr (content ABOVE the caption, + text only posts, reblog comments BELOW original content, etc).

I saw @dansup was heading that direction in OG #pixelfed days years back, but more #Instagram style later.

But yo, #Fediverse - what do you think? Do you miss peak Tumblr? Am I crazy?

Is it normal to see many blank spaces in most #Pixelfed posts on #Mastodon ? 🤔

Is the portfolio feature available on the #Pixelfed (or #Mastodon) apps? I'm struggling to find it

In the year 2019, a scholarly paper misspelled the names of the Fediverse software —

Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Pleroma

As —

Mastadon, Pixelfred, Plemora

[strong]Friendica: Welchen Sinn macht die Option Öffentlichen Beiträge für anonymen Besucher zu sperren?[/strong]

Es gibt bei den Einstellungen folgende Option die es ermöglicht anonymen Besuchern der Webseite den Zugriff auf die öffentlich eingestellten Beiträge zu verweigern.



Für mich persönlich ist das durchaus sinnvoll, da ich meine Beiträge ja fürs Fediverse und nicht für Google und Co. schreibe. Nun stellt sich aber dennoch die Sinnfrage, wenn ca. 80 Prozent der eigenen Kontakte eine Plattform (Mastodon) nutzen die die Beiträge nicht korrekt darstellen und den ursprünglichen Beitrag auch nicht inline laden kann. Deren Nutzer also darauf angewiesen sind anonym über den Server auf der der Beitrag erstellt wurde darauf zuzugreifen.

[strong]Wie geht Ihr damit um? Welche Lösungen habt Ihr dafür gefunden?[/strong]

Nick Gerakines ( @ngerakines.me ):

ActivityPub and Mastodon are effectively the same thing to most people.

( @reiver note: this seems similar to the phrase "the Mastodon in the room".)

#ATmosphereConf #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #TheMastodonInTheRoom

Paraphrasing Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( https://bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.social ):

You could fix how Mastodon and the Fediverse uses WebFinger if WebFinger could point to multiple profiles.

It doesn't now. But it could.

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.

Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support

Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

Ich hab so viele Konversationen, wo mir Teile des Threads fehlen, weil ich mit den Kommentatoren nicht in einem Follow-Verhältnis stehe...

#Frage an das #Fediverse und #Followerpower: Wie schaffe ich es, dass in meinem #Mastodon Profil das verlinkte #Pixelfed Profil ebenfalls grün (verifiziert) dargestellt wird? Ich meine, ich hatte das vorhin mal so am laufen, beim Aktualisieren meines Profils ist das aber irgendwie rausgeflogen.

In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to Michiel Leenaars, who professionally gives out buckets of EU cash to open source projects.

Seems like Mastodon is interested in collaborating with Pixelfed on Starter Kits ✨

You love to see it!

#pixelfed #mastodon #starterKits

Saw the #CBS #60Minutes segment about him on this past Sunday's show.

Think they said he has a staff of around 80 people!!!!

So, it should be easy for them to create, monitor & manage a #Mastodon account. 🤷‍♂️

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

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/ https://about.iftas.org/
