Saorsa: Can any instance operators offer an explanation as to why federating with Mastodon from an instance not running their software tends to be more difficult? I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all. I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts. #SelfHosting, #FediAdmin, #Mastodon, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #SocialMedia, #AskFedi, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse.

Saorsa: That right there grapples with some uncomfortable truths. Inclusion today is no longer as it was in the early days of the Free and Open Source movement. Instead comes with a lot of asterisks and caveats attached that aren't very inclusive despite otherwise appearing to be on the surface. Truth of the matter is that the current political climate has over time radicalized and eroded the patience we once had for each other. Leaving many to land on the conclusion that it may honestly be for the best to drop any pretenses of inclusion and equity in favor of tighter in groups that share more in common with you and thus less likely to challenge your beliefs. @xaetacore #FOSS, #FLOSS, #FreeSoftware, #OpenSource, #FediAdmin, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #Moderation, #TrustAndSafety #Moderation, #FediAdmin, #Moderators, #FediMods, #MastoMods, #SocialMedia, #Sociology, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse, #politics, #Hashtag.

gangrif: Of all of the chat platforms I have available to me. I like Matrix the most, but i struggle to get others to use it. It's free, private (if you need it to be), and could replace Discord as a platform. But I cant seem to convince others to join me, even groups of fellow nerds, they just arent interested. After a long time, carrying the Matrix torch, I am considering abandoning ship. One less platform to monitor (admittedly its easy to monitor,. NO ONE interacts with me there), one less service to maintain (i run my own homeserver), one less piece of software to monitor for updates. One less window to have open all of the time, and One less app on my phone. Talk me out of it folks, am I wrong here? #matrix #chat #federation #decentralization

meissa: Another small step in Forgejo federation.Getting Forgejo and mastodon services to talk had some unexpected pitfalls. Mastodon only federates on port 443 for example, that means Forgejo needs to be able to listen on a privileged port even for testing. You can imagine the troubles setting up our e2e tests properly. This is finally behind us and were now aiming to integrate the test into the automated test suite (with a lot of work already done by @famfo) #mastodon #forgejo #federation

tomgag: Today's AWS debacle is the perfect example of the reason why in the last few years I started to be less enthusiastic about Signal, and more oriented to federated or even P2P solutions like XMPP and Jami.

In a decentralized system, this would not have happened, or at least it would have not impacted so many users.Yes, I am a cryptographer myself, I know that Signal's encryption is the best. But encryption is not everything. Availability issues, geopolitical troubles, risk of enshittification, limitations on users' freedom to use and control the software lead to a lack of trust, even in a supersecure solution.

badgefed: Hey Fediverse! 👋 We’ve been quiet… but not idle. Forget waiting for long blog posts, time for micro updates. Today’s news: We’ve got a few BadgeFed instances live and federating! 🏅 To make it happen, we did a hardcore backend rewrite to support multiple domains on a single machine. For most, it’s a niche cost-saving move, but it might be useful for others too. Under the hood: each domain runs its own SQLite DB, with backups in place. But this isn’t just about the tech, the fun part is seeing multiple BadgeFed servers talking to each other (!!). Follow them, check the thread, boost it, and watch for more as they come online! You can read the article "BadgeFed Update: Multiple Instances Online!" by @mapache here as well. #badgefed #fediverse #openbadges #update #activitypub #sqlite #federation

hq: Socialhome v0.22.0 released, with a completely new UI! This is a massive milestone for the #Socialhome project, one that could not have been possible without the hard work of @alain@jase.social. If you have followed the Socialhome project, you'll know that Alain has been responsible for most of the development of project in the recent years. This includes rewriting the #federation library to ensure #ActivityPub support is first class. More recently Alain has taken the challenge of rewriting the frontend, which has fallen into a rather poor state over the years. The new UI work is actually a coordination of two people working many years apart. Way back years ago @lightone@mastodon.xyz made some UI designs for a new Socialhome UI (thank you! <3). While the designs were not implemented for years, they were not forgotten. In 2023 Alain jumped to the challenge and started the full UI rewrite of the Socialhome frontend. This UI has now matured into a state that it is good for daily usage - which is the main focus of this release! Currently, a Socialhome installation will still default to the old UI. If you do want to try out the new UI for example on socialhome.network, go to the account settings and toggle the "New UI" flag. Going back is also easy, should the new UI cause unforeseen issues (please do report!). If you are a server admin, see the new UI installation instructions for how to add the new UI to your instance. This is not all! The releases of v0.21.0 and v0.22.0 also contain a bunch of other changes and fixes. Most notably; ActivityPub profiles are now richer, including bio and a larger picture, in addition to an avatar. Many new API's to support the new UI, including session authentication, search, media upload, content fetching over uuid, profile organize and profile settings. Whoosh has been replaced with Xapian as a search index backend. See the full changelogs. Additionally, the federation library has received a ton of changes and fixes which can be found here. Also, last but not least, we moved from GitLab to Codeberg. Check out the new repositories. Installing and updating We recommend using the Docker images (amd64/arm64). Notes on how to use the Docker images can be found in the docs. What is Socialhome? Socialhome is best described as a federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols. Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself. Official site Documentation (for admins) Code repository (GitHub mirror) Chat room on Matrix Try Socialhome? If you want to try Socialhome first before trying to install it, register at https://socialhome.network and then ping us with a comment on the user name chosen to get the account approved. You can also request account approval in the chat room. This unfortunately approval step is due to spammers. Contribute Do you want to work on a Django and VueJS powered social network server? Join in the fun! We have easy to follow development environment setup documentation and a friendly chat room for questions. #socialhome #federation #fediverse #activitypub #diaspora #django #vuejs

pasjrwoctx: @admins @developers @helpers What is the consensus on adding relays in #friendica, do they actually help #federation, do they reduce it, speed it up, slow it down, increase it, as a concept I understand it as say #hamradio relays, it allows your reach to go further, but since my instance is federated, how much further do relays actually deliver my posts, and again does it actually help to have them? I have tried a few, with mixed results and I am rather baffled by their existence and usability in relation to my instance, any clear answers would be appreciated.

aral: This is the elephant in the room with federation that supports instances of 1 or 1 million. The ones with 1 million become the mini Facebooks with mini Mark Zuckerbergs; infinitely more powerful than the instances of 1 or 100 and unaccountable to anyone but themselves. Decentralisation is about devolution of power. There’s a reason I’m designing the Small Web as a peer-to-peer web with only instances of one.#SmallWeb #federation #decentralisation #power #equality https://mastodon.social/@rzeta0/114530156734366682
