LaurensHof, to random Misskey 2023 recap
Misskey, the fediverse microblogging platform that’s popular in Japan, has provided a recap of 2023, and it has been a big year for Misskey. The platform saw massive growth, the main server Misskey.io incorporated itself, and a number of new features and performance improvements.
The flagship server Misskey.io grew from 500 daily active users in January to 28k daily active users in December. They grew from around 20k registered accounts at the beginning of the year to over 400k accounts now. As with most social networks, growth happened in bursts, with a major increase in March and July, while the other months grew much slower.
With the growth came other changes as well: the server misskey.io incorporated itself, and main developer Syuilo became a director of the organisation as well. Donations and sponsorships also grew significantly. For the future, Syuilo says that “there are limits to relying solely on donations from everyone, so I would like to find a way to monetize the project.”
Misskey Pages allow users to create custom web pages on the platform that they can share. It can be programmed as well, and Misskey created a custom scripting language AiScript so people can safely add code to their Misskey Pages as well.
Other updates include refactoring of code and performance improvements, more information on that can be found here and here.
Misskey’s vision for fediverse servers is visible in their updates on moderation; every user can be assigned different roles that control permissions of the user in detail. In the update they say that this has greatly affected the operation of the Misskey server. This implies a vision for Misskey of larger servers, with a more complex structure for administration and moderation.
The future plans for Misskey focus heavily on the playful aspect of social communities: two games will be added that can be played on Misskey; Misskey Room as a way to play with other users in 3D space, as well as a chat interface. This puts Misskey further it’s unique place in the fediverse.

blinry, (edited ) to fediverse Hey :) @Piko and I are trying out #kbin as part of #fedivoyage!
m0bi13, to random Polish Na kanale @fruktozaur na #Tube #PolSocial znajdziecie fajny materiał, jak postawić sobie własnego #Invidious oraz co to w ogóle jest i jak to wykorzystać, by się odciąć od "złego" YouTube:
https://tube.pol.social/w/6CTvPNGjAmG7GdemwzihrpTutaj można zasubskrybować ten kanał w #Fedi, bo #PeerTube działa w federacji więc i z #Mastodon: @fruktozaur_main
A jeśli chcecie jedynie korzystać z istniejącego Invidious, to jest wiele instancji, w tym https://yt.elonego.com, w której jakoś maczam palce 😉
hankg, to random I just found this list of the current top 10,000 most followed users on the Mastodon part of the fediverse. It's interesting to see what the fediverse looks like from that perspective. I do wish we had something like this fediverse wide but appreciate the work that has gone into compiling this list specifically for Mastodon. #fediverse #mastodon most-followed-masotodon-accoun…
dansup, to random Pixelfed Collections [v3]
remove (only-public) and (only-self) constraints - allow items to be anything, even a url
make collections followable (w/ #activityPub)
add "Collect" button to add items to one of your collections
public "collections directory" w/ search
The refreshed Collections feature will be quite similar to #pinterest 😉

carturo222, It has to be a joke that you posted it on the science forum of all places.
flatearth, I too love science (I loved fluid mechanics).
I love testable science.
I love empirical science.
I hate pseudoscience.
liztai, to random Most folks on the #Fediverse will go - I told you so! But #Substack's design and content choices is fostering a social "class" system of elites, followers and outsiders.

Mrfunkedude, to random For those who don't know, I have a PeerTube Playlist of over 133 short form videos that are geared towards mental health tips and encouragement.
I made them for two reasons. Because I wanted to help others, and to leave something of myself for my daughter should anything ever happen to me.
If you're ever feeling down, pick a video at random. I hope it picks you up.

hrefna, to random I don't know who needs to hear this, but the #fediverse does not need a dating app. Please please please do not create a dating app here at least until we fix some fairly substantive issues around trust and safety.
Duncan, @hrefna
"until we fix some fairly substantive issues around trust and safety"
Given the number of people using dating apps, and the impact these can have on people's lives. I would like to see this happen one day. Commercial dating apps have a conflict of interest - if you find the love of your life they lose a customer. I don't use dating apps but if there was one with community ownership I might
sgf, @hrefna That is a mind-bendingly bad idea. I almost want to see it happen just to watch the train-wreck, and then I feel bad for thinking that, because it would be actually just plain bad.
The FOSS user-empathy-free design.
The complete misapplication of cryptography.
Some dodgy dude running a server and reading the DMs.
Trust and safety being planned for v2.
A careful design being hard, so the only implementation is someone YOLOing.
I'm deliberately not even scratching the surface.
Ugh.
box464, to random #Misskey and #Firefish Advent Calendars - learn something new about these platforms each day of December! It feels very indieweb / geocities and I love it.
My fellow english speakers - it will require the use of a translation service, but those are in about every browser nowadays, so no excuses.
Side note: What word keeps being translated as "mackeral" - is it "platform" or "instance"? 😆
