@mmasnick congrats! (and, don't be a stranger over on here!)

My #Flipboard account and magazines are now part of the #Fediverse - here's what that's all about. Shout out to @mike @miaq et al 🫶🏻 #100DaysToOffload

Trying out Fedicat on TestFlight - it’s a #fediverse client app and I always like to check out new ones. https://fedicat.com/about/

“X, the everything app that has everything on it aside from real people” - great description from Ryan Broderick at Garbage Day (excellent newsletter to subscribe to, btw) https://www.garbageday.email/p/can-finally-call-weird

I had some fun mail from my friends at @glitchdotcom @devs today! /cc @jenn @haubles @anildash @sue 👋🏻 http://andypiper.co.uk/2024/07/24/glitchy-love/

Really great #Fediverse project to support with donations here, if you are able https://mas.to/@robertvh/112841471001060888

@HauntedOwlbear it is possible that you, me, and @jay will be the last.users of last.fm 😜

I spent part of Saturday working on my latest plotter project, a series of modifications to a CoreXY pen plotter kit to upgrade it to run on the #FluidNC firmware. #100DaysToOffload #penplotter #maker

@hughrawlinson hmm! working on Chrome, but yeah, that's odd, not in Firefox. Looks like something it may be to do with the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin... @pfefferle have you see this happening before?

OK this is quite neat. I'd prefer it if my primary Mastodon account could be "properly seen" i.e. followed and mentioned on Threads, but this is another step along. Interoperability! Who would have thought it...

Happy 21st birthday, #SecondLife! #metaverse #3dInternet #virtualworlds https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15854-sl21b-is-open-celebrate-21-years-of-second-life/

@tchambers @shitpostalotl in principle it should (!) mean that it will be delivered to instances with users that follow me, and they thus become aware of that single-user instance. Also, there is a cat.

This is going to be worth following, subscribed! 👏🏻 @_elena

Excited (and curious) to watch the Fastly special event right now. First: @anildash is (IMHO) one of the smartest folks around; he knows, understands, and deeply cares about the open web. Second: Glitch has been a huge part of my own developer story in the past ~7 years. Third: Fastly has been a huge supporter of the #Fediverse and #OpenSource with their #FastForward program. Fourth: they have a great team. https://www.youtube.com/live/pgNjS1_kOW8?si=nhmV8qQQGFz_8p-i

Wow, this sounds huge! Excited to see what the @glitchdotcom and @devs teams will show in their event later today. https://thenewstack.io/developers-can-now-discover-and-curate-open-web-apps-on-glitch/

We just shared our monthly engineering update from the Mastodon team. I've also posted an updated and refreshed guide to contributing to the project.

@darnell @verge ... but this has been widely reported on before?

@dansup would be great to have the embeds working for posts with multiple images. Right now our studio webpage is missing the majority of our posts in the embedded profile grid (as only posts with single images are displayed). Also, being prompted for a 2FA token every time I open the website is frustrating. And, having imported my Instagram posts, I can't get that data in the export or page back to the start of my posts. All of that said… I appreciate you pushing things forwards as well!

@jaz counterpoint - a lot of folks I talk to say they don’t get engagement on #fediverse platforms. My perspective on that is that either they are expecting to “go viral” or get a lot of easy clicks, or that they don’t invest time in finding their communities and building an engaged following.
