@_elena Great post as usual :)
Do you think friendica can "replace" facebook groups in a similar fashion?
That reminds me that I need to setup a matrix instance as well!
Elena Rossini ⁂
@nrdufour thank you Nicolas. As much as I love Friendica, I find its UX/UI really outdated and the server response slow. I may try self-host my own instance to see if anything improves... but now I'm curious about Hubzilla (its successor)

@bovaz a VPS! And I think this is the second time I hear about Gancio, I'll look into it, thanks!
bovaz
@_elena@mastodon.social thanks for writing this. Where did you install YunoHost? was it a local machine, a VPS...?
You probably know this already, but there's also another application for events, besides Mobilizon, called Gancio (https://gancio.org/).

@lps thanks! I'm also really eager to try it out... who knows maybe I'll come out of filmmaking retirement to make videos about the Fediverse 😅
lps
@_elena @pixelfed @dansup @pfefferle @gotosocial @yunohost @phanpy I can't wait for you to play with #peertube it would be a great second home for your documentary... It even supports donations and password protected access if I remember correctly.
lps
@_elena @pixelfed @dansup @pfefferle @gotosocial @yunohost @phanpy happy new year!
I can't wait to hear more in 2025 as you continue your #fediverse adventures:)
I just went back and read your post on #Sharkey and have to say I'm considering setting up my own instance... That or #gotosocial but maybe I'll wait to read your upcoming conclusions.
I'm also using #yunohost and totally understand your gushing enthusiasm for being able to selfhost, what a time to be alive:). Thanks devs!!

@claromes it's really cool to hear from fellow GtS / Phanpy users. If I may ask you, what has been your favorite aspect of GtS so far (on the technical side)?

@_elena Last year I also set up my own GoToSocial instance and have been using my forked version of Phanpy. It has been a great experience...
and yes, write about how it's been going!!

@michael thank you for the kind words Michael, it means a lot coming from you.
Now, I would need a clone (or a team) to be able to produce / shoot / edit videos about the Fediverse, but I will see what I can do with the little time I have 😅
Michael Foster
@_elena An inspirational year, thank you! And some films/videos sound amazing!
Elena Rossini ⁂
@stefan thank you Stefan! Looking back, it's pretty incredible what I managed to try out this summer (also considering my little one was out of school for 2 months).
I look forward to more Fediverse experimentations this year... including making a bot with your guidance! 🤗
Stefan Bohacek
@_elena Very cool, you had a busy year!
Matthias Pfefferle
@_elena tu sei il cronista del fediverso 🫶
thank you so much for all your work!!!
Elena Rossini ⁂
@pfefferle awww grazie Matthias! 😊 ❤️
I haven't done anything of note, but I am incredibly grateful for your ActivityPub x Wordpress plugin, it's been a total game changer 🙌

@_elena @pixelfed @dansup @pfefferle @gotosocial @yunohost @phanpy Just discovered the #Openvibe client to simplify access across multiple fediverse accounts.
"Openvibe is one of the few apps that helps consolidate the biggest of these networks into one place. You can view content from each channel in a unified timeline, cross-post to each platform, and now get notifications on interactions and activities"

@mro awww thank you so much for the kind words Marcus! Day = made ☺️

Hi @_elena, @pfefferle,
sure you do! You do something very few others do and so it's absolutely worth note:
You actually operate services for personal use!
That's the most democratic and brave act to do in the internet! And you write about it in the most encouraging ways!
Franz Graf
@_elena I really love how you focus on the value without going into protocol/techy-details.
Elena Rossini ⁂
@kevingamin thank you Kevin! 🙏
Kevin Gamin
@_elena You just gave me the blueprint I didn’t even know I needed to really dive into the #Fediverse. I’ve now followed you on #Mastodon and #Pixelfed and will add your blog to my RSS subscriptions.

@hikingdude thank you Franz! 😊

@fabio ciao Fabio, no non ho ancora provato Akkoma/Pleroma ma è sulla mia to do list per quest'anno... un mese di test e poi un articolo per The Future is Federated.
Come fork, cosa ha in più Akkoma rispetto a Pleroma?
Fabio Manganiello
@_elena hai gia’ provato Pleroma/Akkoma? Personalmente dopo un paio di anni passati ad amministrare la mia istanza Mastodon mi ero un po’ stufato sia delle feature a cui Eugen risponde sempre con un no secco (tipo limite di caratteri estensibile via configurazione, quotes e supporto per Markdown), sia di quante risorse richiede.
Sono migrato ad Akkoma (fork di Pleroma) e non mi sono piu’ guardato indietro :) (e anche il consumo di RAM sul mio server e’ andato da 6 GB a 500 MB)
Elena Rossini ⁂
@fabio grazie per la spiegazione! allora proverò Akkoma 😊
Fabio Manganiello
@_elena il fork ha diverse motivazioni, fra cui scismi ideologici fra gli sviluppatori di Pleroma (alcuni dei quali sono fin troppo nel campo del “free speech” a tutti i costi), il fatto che il main developer di Pleroma non era molto presente, e la necessità di implementare features più velocemente (fra cui custom emojis per le reazioni, backend più leggero, ecc.). Più dettagli sono qui: https://coffee-and-dreams.uk/development/2022/06/24/akkoma.html
Per il resto sono quasi al 100% compatibili a vicenda, e permettono anche di installare frontend custom (che è una benedizione perché il frontend di default sembra un salto nel 1999).

Howdy Elena,
You and I are twins from a different mother.
I started in tech circa '87. I want the Internet I got excited about, back then. And I want to help others see the benefits of the Fediverse.
