The domain firefish.social was up for auction today and it sold for at least $12, I didn't see the final bid because I got busy at work and forgot about it.
I hope it went to someone with good intentions.

TIL when you upload a video file to Mastodon, it generates a preview thumbnail. The thumbnail isn't passed through to other servers in the ActivityPub payload (similar to preview cards).
Each receiving platform handles this situation differently. Some regenerate a thumbnail (processing again). Some ignore it and don't show one. Others create blank thumbnails to appease the Mastodon API.
A blurhash is passed, tho, and could be used as a placeholder.
Ghost will be using the open source Fedify server framework to manage the activitypub bits and pieces of their service.

There's alot to take in with these updates to Mastodon. Particularly excited about the OAUTH changes, which are building to even bigger things down the line.
Bonfire, the modular Fediverse platform, is looking for five Elixir developers to act as test subjects to improve the developer onboarding experience. Participants can receive a €50 stipend for their one-hour session.
Please share with your elixir dev friends, and boost!
@tchambers I would hope there could be a distinction made between AI generated content (no) and AI assistant type features, like generating image captions or using common language for searches (maybe). Examples, "bring up my posts where I talked about cats but only ones with images" vs "from:me has:image cats")
Sugar free twizzlers are absolutely disgusting!

Gross! <much munch munch>
Just got the Threads multi column layout. Y'all, we are spoiled rotten with amazing clients and platforms to fit whatever preference we want over here.
@dansup @pixelfed Been awhile since you released a demo video with awesome music! Looking forward to the release.
@tchambers 😱 How did I miss this. I see it on my phone now, but triple checked on my desktop before responding earlier. Apologies.
@tchambers Minor quibble here, Phanpy displays quote posts nicely, but you can't quote a post yourself from the UI. If you can, I'd like to know how! :)
You're telling me this band isn't on the fediverse somewhere?

Alright let’s see what this new Doctor can do.
Tumblr will remove their tipping feature on June 1. It was a payment integration with Stripe introduced two years ago.

Flipboard has created a newsletter on LinkedIn called “Fedicurious”. The fediverse has made it to LinkedIn. Yay?
Recently, they did a webinar on how federation works in Flipboard geared to content creators.
With big players like Flipboard, Wordpress, Ghost and Threads entering the fediverse, along with bridges to Bluesky and more….your choice of platform will be less about content (you’ll see it everywhere!) and more about the app experience and features you prefer. 🥳
I really like these support tables on the FunFedi website. Seeing the support grid and example responses is very helpful.
I know a lot of devs are jumping from chat room to chat room, looking for someone to reply back in their timelines, etc. to get help when a specific platform isn't working quite right.
Tonight I implemented something "just because" on my version of @Edent ActivityPub educational server. Some platforms will pick up a profile background image and display it along with your banner and avatar.
In your webfinger record, add this little bit at the root of the file and wallah. Akkoma is picking it up, at least! It's fun to play around.
```
"backgroundUrl": {
"type": "Image",
"url": "https://{your-domain}/{image}.jpg"
},
```
@pfefferle @simonwood @julian @nodebb Curious how you set the “priority on image/video” in ActivityPub? I didn’t know that was possible!
It’s good to know Bluesky has the same issue explaining the concept of Unlisted…I mean…Quiet Public…I mean…Discouraged visibility…posts.
