LaurensHof, to random 5 years of Mobilizon
Framasoft, the French non-profit organisation for open source software such as PeerTube, says that after 5 years, Mobilizon has reached maturity. In December 2018 the organisation announced their plans to develop Mobilizon, with the goal of creating an alternative to Facebook Groups and events.
Over the years, they have added multiple updates, such as federation in 2020 and searching across Mobilizon instances in 2020. This month, they are releasing their final update, v4, with a variety of new features.
Event administrators can now send private announcements to attendees, allowing them to contact all people who have registered for an event directly. This announcement is a one-way communications channel, intended for organisers to broadcast information. Besides that, a chat system for attendees is also implemented, which federates with the rest of the fediverse.
Another new feature is the ability to import and synchronise events from other platforms, such as Meetup and EventBrite. Framasoft created an import tool that allows you to import and synchronise event information from these platforms into Mobilizon. iCal event feeds are support too, so this even works with most calendar tools.
The big platform for importing events from is Facebook. Here, Framasoft has done the work to get it to work, and the ball is now in Facebook’s court to approve and validate. Framasoft is clear that they do not have a timeline how long this will take, and that they are unsure if Facebook will do so.
While Framasoft sees Mobilizon has having completed their vision, it is far from over for the project. Framasoft will hand over the keys to the French association Kaihuri, who has been maintaining a Mobilizon presence for a while. Kaihuri recently got funding from NLnet to continue development work on Mobilizon, focusing on the user experience and improving interoperability. Meanwhile, Framasoft is betting big on PeerTube for next year, and is currently organising their yearly donation drive.
steve, to random #ActivityPub dev tip of the day: An inbox (or outbox) is not a queue. An inbox is reverse chronological (LIFO-ish) and maintains long-term references to items. A queue has FIFO behavior and items are dequeued/removed for processing. AP is difficult enough without equating the inbox concept with MQ middleware (which could be a useful internal implementation technique).
Likewise, to random Social Media Differences.
FB: I’m wishing my husband a Happy Anniversary, he’s the greatest, most…blah blah blah (Y’all live in the house, I’m pretty sure he knows).
Instagram: We are in matching outfits celebrating our 10th anniversary, which is written on a chalkboard.
Fediverse: This is my cat, his name is Steven. #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 😉
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.
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 😉
srijit, to random I strongly suggest that only stable builds be considered for usage in this flagship instance.
In case of Firefish, making the flagship instance a sandbox was not a good decision. Also, the major database update did not live up to the expectations as timelines still continue to feel buggier.
Though not dead, since Firefish is not fast enough in fixing issues that affect real users and real admins, I see that some Firefish instances are migrating to Sharkey or Iceshrimp.
Otherwise, for the most part, usage of Firefish has been a nice experience.
From a user perspective, both Sharkey and Iceshrimp have good prospects.
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.

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"? 😆
