dannekrose, to random Sharing some #fediverse or #activityPub projects you might not have heard about.
- Inventaire.io https://inventaire.io/welcome - Manage your physical books or other items (board games perhaps) and keep track of who has what when lending or borrowing items. ActivityPub enabled.
- Thedesk.top - A bit overwhelmingly full-featured alternative UI to Mastodon/Firefish/Misskey/*key forks. Some aspects may be very confusing but for some, the workflow and customization it provides are powerful.
hariette, to random Hey y’all, it’s been a while. Had a rough month with a flare up of my chronic pain. Doing better now and had a chance to recharge. And I’m so dying to get back to contributing to the #fediverse community ✨❤️
harmonea, to kbinMeta My #kbin account seems broken? :\ For the last month+ I can't get any thread I create to show up in its magazine, even when the magazine is a local one. Comments are fine, microblog posts are fine, threads show up in my profile but never the magazine.
Admittedly I don't try very often, but that makes it all the more disheartening when I feel like "yay, I finally have something worth sharing" and, well, no apparently I don't.
e569668, @harmonea you may be blocking a domain, which causes a bug detailed here. tl;dr blocking any domain on kbin.social right now hides any non-link entries and comments on them. removing them all fixes it, it's fixed in latest which hopefully the main site gets soon
harmonea, @e569668 Oh, hrm. I am blocking a domain, yes. Sophie's choice: see the crap or lose the ability to contribute - haha
Thank you very much for your help and the knowledge that a fix is ready to go soon(ish(maybe)).
J12t, to random The Free Software Foundation Europe set up a website to help move governments from proprietary social media to the #fediverse.
Excellent idea!
AxelNennker, @J12t Sehr gute Idee

J12t, to random About half of the Fediverse addresses typed by FediForum attendees into the session notes are missing the leading "@".
People typed in their very own Fediverse handles. And because they came to FediForum, it's very likely they are very well acquainted with the right syntax.
Pretty strong circumstantial evidence that most people won't be able to distinguish Fediverse handles from e-mail addresses.
I have long believed that they should be the same.
JohnJBurnsIII, And when said person loses control of the email address (e.g. broadband provider change, employer change, etc.)...
What does that person do? Lose entire setup and start again?
Asking, because this is how many forums did it... and it was wrong then.
toplesstopics, to random pie-in-the-sky feature request for #fediverse / #mastodon : instead of having to censor a whole image or post, have specific categories we can check, like "nudity" "sexual" "eye contact" "spider" etc so that only people who have that filtered out won't see it (or will see the censorship blur) and those of us who aren't filtering it out won't have to deal with it being preemptively censored? (maybe make all the categories "opt in," like "I AM okay with seeing this"

mike, to random I'm so excited about federating #Flipboard to the #Fediverse! We are getting closer every day.
I just recently saw a demo from our engineering team of a Flipboard account being fully federated and followable from #Mastodon. Now we need to interpret all the engagement signals (commenting, favoriting, etc) properly. This includes designing what Flipboard users should see when they click on Mastodon users who reply to them and vice versa. A bunch more to do but we are making serious progress.
0x1C3B00DA, what about the rest of the fediverse? If you're just testing against mastodon, then you're mastodon-compatible not fediverse compatible.
apps, to random Did you know that it is possible to play online chess with another user through the #Fediverse ?

wedistribute, to random We're holding a breakout session with @fediversereport at #Fediforum today at 11:15am PDT in Breakout Room C! We'll be talking about the nature of producing news for the #fediverse, and the challenges that have come with our efforts.
AntoineD, to random Dans læ #fediverse, on s’envoie plein de réaction par émoji 🤩😍👍🎉
entre #Iceshrimp #Firefsh #Misskey #Akkoma #Pleroma…Pendant ce temps sur #Mastodon, ce sont de simples ⭐
Je suis allé voir du côté de #GlitchSoc, c’est la PR de l’enfer depuis mai dernier, et qui fait suit a 2 autres PR annulées 😅
On a hâte d’échanger des émojis avec vous !
BigAngBlack, to random Is anyone making and selling #fediverse mascot plushies?
wendinoakland, @mentallyalex @BigAngBlack Lol! Just smol, snuggle size would be great. I should’ve said “fuzzy”.
BigAngBlack, @fifilamoura
Good for fundraising. other fedi's should join the effortCollectibles
anothergene, to random Is it just me or does searching suck on mastodon? #fediverse
rm4, @anothergene Yes but instances that have turned on the new search are supposedly way better. I haven't seen this yet on my instance that i know of
thisismissem, to random Whew! Already at 2400 words written about Fediverse Moderation Tooling, and the potential future directions we can take. This is quite the undertaking!
Yes, most of my time over the past few weeks has been spent writing literature and proposals on moderation tooling, which honestly is an under-appreciated task essentially to improving the fediverse.
I'll also be doing up some slides with a summary of my thoughts for @fediforum.
quaken, @thisismissem @fediforum Where are you publishing these documents to when they're ready?
thisismissem, @quaken @fediforum they'll be available as PDFs and Google Docs.
(If someone wants to create a powerful document editing & collaboration tool for documents in rich text, by all means do, but until that works well, I'll continue using Google Docs, kthnxbye)
alexstandiford, to random WPTavern launched a forum today. How amazing would it be if they federated this?
