To follow our Vivaldi Tips blog from Mastodon, follow @tips. Next to the Follow button, open the menu and select “Change subscribed languages” to choose the language you prefer to see our tips in.

We make good use of Mastodon’s interoperability with WordPress. When we recently moved our Vivaldi Tips (@tips) blog from vivaldi.net to vivaldi.com to start translating the tips, we noticed that things were a little off on the Mastodon side. Luckily we have the amazing @thomasp in our team, who ironed out every single issue we found.

One of the problems we had was the ActivityPub plugin not detecting the language tags our translation plugin (WPML) added to the posts on WordPress. Language tags allow people on Mastodon to subscribe to posts only in the languages they can read and use the translation feature, so this was an important issue for us to solve. Read about the solution Thomas came up with in his blog: https://thomasp.vivaldi.net/2025/01/14/combining-wpml-activitypub/.

Vivaldi Sync is back online!

同期機能復旧のお知らせです。

Honestly, if your RSS feed isn’t a widget on your start page dashboard, how are you even keeping up? Asking for a friend. 👀

At the end of last week, we encountered some issues with the database performance of our Sync service. While our team successfully brought the service back online, it is still experiencing instability. This is currently affecting about one-third of Sync users.

Our team is actively working on resolving this as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

🔍 Stay up to date on the status of our services and get the latest updates at https://vivaldistatus.com.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. 🙏

This is the latest update from the sys admin team:

"Hi everyone, we are still working on our sync backends. In our tests we have not been able to get the performance up to where it needs to be at. We are doing a lot of maintenance that will take more time. We are so sorry how long this is taking but we are working night and day to get things back into shape. We really appreciate your continued patience while we work on getting Sync back up. Yours, the Sysadmin Team."

Launching today, Vivaldi is a proud participant in the Browser Choice Alliance!

BCA is an informal alliance of browser makers who are all prevented from competing fairly on Windows PCs, because Microsoft self-preferences its own Edge browser.

From @jon:
“For a long time, Vivaldi has publicly called out Microsoft for its dirty tricks to undermine consumer choice. Independent browsers like us simply cannot compete fairly with Edge when it is so heavily preferenced in Windows. Regulators need to intervene urgently.”

Oh happy day! Not only is it Friday, one of the nicest days of the week, it’s also Vivaldi Social’s birthday. :tony_happy: 🎉 We’ve now been on Mastodon for two wholesome years.

We choose to do things that make your experience on the web better and we wholeheartedly believe that Vivaldi Social does just that. We want to provide a platform where people can join in on the smart, funny, and empathetic conversations taking place all over the Fediverse.

The only thing we wish for our two-year birthday is for more people to experience the power of the Fediverse, so make sure you tell a friend about Vivaldi Social today!

Here’s to many more years! :tony_wee:

Interesting idea! 🤔
Has anyone already made something like that or were you thinking that we create it?

Have you already chosen which podcasts you’re going to catch up with this weekend? Well, we have a recommendation that should definitely skyrocket to the top of your playlist. :tony_wee:
