Notices by Mammoth (mammoth@moth.social), page 2

We're working with a number of community members on the next batch of community-curated lists. Wanna get in on the action? Let us know!

Along w the mammoth 2 rollout we adopted new content policies, mostly based on the excellent work on Mozilla.social. Instance owners and other interested community members: here’s our version. (We’re not a huge instance; currently suspend one acct a day on average) https://melted-april-eb6.notion.site/Moth-social-Content-Policies-f127f48219fe4aeeac554931a5f1a3ff?pvs=4

“Mammoth is a great app for anyone who’s been intrigued by Mastodon but intimidated by how complicated it’s been. It’s a great way for more people to experience the benefits of open social and I’m excited to curate the /indieweb Smart List!” - @pfefferle , Open Web Lead @ Automattic

@timbray @cheeaun a/ it’s a work in progress!! b/ when you view a profile, we want to show all the follows & followers for that acct & all the posts you are entitled to see (all public posts + followers-only content if you’re a follower) c/ for accounts that are part of Smart Lists we attempt to collect complete engagement data (all the likes, replies, reposts), using an account relay system, in order to be able to surface the “actually trending” stuff. but it’s WIP

We’re looking for community members to curate new Smart Lists. Hit us up👇🏾

“In many ways the last two years of the Fediverse have seen more innovation than most of the closed social media silos have seen in the last 10. This is especially true with Mammoth, one of the first to integrate their client with their own server and do a Fediverse-friendly ‘For You’ algorithm. I’m esp excited about the innovation with this latest release including Smart Lists.” @tchambers, Co-founder Dewey Digital and author XTwitter Migration Report. Tim, grateful for you!

"Many of the ideas we worked on then are being realized in Mammoth —which leverages technologies that resulted from those efforts. It’s incredible to finally realize the glimmers of a truly decentralized social web all these years later!" - Chris Messina, the hashtag inventor 🦣

"Other startups, like the Mozilla-backed app Mammoth and indie apps like Ivory have also launched to make the fediverse more approachable for newcomers, while companies like Flipboard and Medium have embraced Mastodon, too." 🫶 @Sarahp https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/11/tumblrs-fediverse-integration-is-still-being-worked-on-says-owner-and-automattic-ceo-matt-mullenweg/

Mammoth adds a For You feed to Mastodon. Read all about it! https://getmammoth.wordpress.com/2023/12/09/whats-this-for-you-feed-is-it-algorithmic/

Thrilled w the response so far. 🙏❤️ Next week’s priority: FEED PERFORMANCE - we’re on it! Roadmap👇🏾

A ‘For You’ Feed that you will love:

👀 We don’t have hundreds of engineers building the most addictive algorithms. Instead, our For You feed is powered by dozens of Smart Lists curated by passionate community members.

🫵 You’re in control of the content you see with toggles for things like topics, accounts, and interests.

🦣 Give the FYP a go NOW on Mammoth 2 for Mastodon!

[In the Fediverse], “if you see [hate speech], you can just leave, and you're not leaving your entire community—your entire online life—behind." says Paige Collings , a senior advocate @eff "And I think that's probably where we have a lot of opportunity to get it right."
